The 38 Best Restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle
"When Seabird opened back in 2022 (and won an Eater Award) it was a fancy-schmancy type place with very fussy plating. It’s since become a little more chilled out — it no longer takes reservations — and is more affordable than you probably think, with all the entrees save the steak clocking in at under $40. The food is still show-off-y though, incorporating the sea into everything from the seaweed focaccia with a briny algae butter (an acquired taste) to the Caesar salad with a creamy kelp dressing. And the seafood classics are given fun flourishes; on a recent visit the mussels were cooked with honey mead rather than the traditional white wine for a dose of sweetness. Must order: The menu rotates quite a lot but the kelp Caesar remains a constant, a great dose of greens amid a meal that will almost certainly be fish-focused." - Harry Cheadle
