The MARKET is conveniently located inside the Seattle Art Museum and boasts a menu filled with seafood, from lobster rolls to fish and chips. Order at the counter and if you're dining in, your food will be delivered to your table. The front of the restaurant, near all the windows, are mainly smaller tables. There's more outside and even larger tables in the back by the bathroom.
Seafood Chowder: Pretty average. You can get it in either a cup or a bread bowl but since we were already getting a lobster roll, we got a cup for less carbs. It was the first thing to come out (as expected) and easily shared by two people.
Crab in a Bag: I was expecting like a crawfish boil kind of thing but thinking more about it, it's probably referencing crab meat in a soft shell is like being in a bag? This was soo good though! Squeeze the lemon all over and take a big bite, shell and all. The breading is well seasoned and there's more than enough pieces to share with a couple of people.
Brussels Sprouts: This wasn't specifically on their menu. It was on a chalk board with specials and it sounded really good. From what I could remember, it's tossed in a thick salty, but sweet, fish sauce. And it was really good in the beginning but after eating it for awhile, every bite is just too salty. And because the sauce is thick, you can't really shake it off. If it weren't so salty, this would've been a perfect brussels sprouts dish.
Hot Connecticut Lobster Roll w/ Garlic Fries: The star of the show, the main reason we came here. A hot roll just seems more satisfying than a cold one. But I can't help but feel it's not very worth it. It's good but expensive. The brioche roll doesn't hold the lobster pieces well too. For an extra $2, we upgraded the fries to garlic fries and that was the right move.
All of this split between two people...our bill was pretty high for a casual lunch. It's to be expected with all the seafood but not something to be enjoyed weekly. The food was good overall though!
