"This place located at the northern end of Pike Place is where you might be tempted to take a visiting relative whose eyes light up at anything that says “Crabhouse.” It’s an upscale dining room where they gallantly stretch out white tablecloths—but the food disappoints. You’ll need to send a search party out to find seafood in the crab melt topped with a sickening amount of cheese, and the clam chowder is a watery mess. Even the waterfront views are a let-down now that there’s so much construction next door. Bring your seafood-loving aunt elsewhere." - Gabe Guarente
