"The Garrison is a moody, mussel-sized 17-seat bar and restaurant occupying the front room of the former Hotel Albatross on Ballard’s Market Street. Le Coin owners Josh Delgado and Jordan Melnikoff quietly opened it late last year, with Delgado developing a concise seafood-forward menu, including a simplified oyster selection primarily featuring Treasure Cove oysters from Emerald Acres Oysters. The smaller oyster selection at the Garrison doesn’t make it any less of an oyster bar; it’s about highlighting a purveyor and a product Delgado holds in high regard." - Mark DeJoy
