"The Lobster Shop’s been an upscale dinner staple for 40 years, and it has an incredible view of Commencement Bay. There’s one plot twist, though: the best thing here isn’t actually lobster. It’s local, Pacific Northwestern oysters that we’re willing to say are the best on Earth (and the rest of the universe while we’re at it). Get a dozen briny-creamy Eagle Rocks and buttery Eld Inlets, then go to town on the PNW scallops, served with pork belly and brown butter farro, and the Dungeness crab cakes with lemon-pepper aioli that are somehow twice as good as any other crab cake we’ve ever tried. And if you’re a vegan who suddenly woke up in a seafood palace, the maple-glazed vegan scallops, made from king oyster mushrooms, are as delicious as anything else on the menu." - meg van huygen
