Where To Eat When You’re Visiting Seattle

"Oyster specialist The Walrus And The Carpenter should be on your list if you’re seeking fresh shellfish in Seattle. Whether you eat them at a table or while seated at the big, majestic marble bar, order them raw or cornmeal-crusted, you shall fulfill your quest for the perfect salty mollusk. The sparkling rosé and seasonal small plates are stellar too, but be prepared for a substantial wait since they don't take reservations. Note that popping by next door to sister bar Barnacle for an amaro spritz beforehand should be part of the plan." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
