The Best Fish and Chips in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"In 2021, Edmonds’ beloved Market opened their second shop in downtown Seattle. While the menu focuses on an array of lobster and crab rolls, the fish and chips deserve a claim as Seattle’s best. The thin beer batter clings to a not-one-minute-overcooked piece of rockfish, making for a lighter meal than its puffier English counterparts. The minty peas, while not very minty, also help lower the grease factor. Extra points for the chips being pointedly close to the English style. Not so English but still a must is to dip them into the delightfully mustardy tartar." - Nate Hall

Market Review - Downtown - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This Edmonds-based operation running the Seattle Art Museum’s cafeteria kitchen offers stuff beyond sad packaged sandwiches and salads. After perusing abstract sculptures all day, you can refuel in a pleasant dining area with seafood like poke, clam chowder, and rockfish tacos. But the crab and lobster rolls are the biggest draws. We have no complaints about the meat inside—the crab ends get lightly toasted, adding a welcome texture. It’s just that the bread is a tad weak and you may wonder why you’re paying $36 for a full roll (or $22 for half) when you can get more for your money elsewhere in town." - Gabe Guarente

After going to MARKET in Edmonds, I knew I wanted to eat there again. I wish they had lobster bisque because the bisque in Edmonds is to die for. I really enjoyed the crab bisque bread bowl here. The flavor was delicious! I enjoyed the warm lobster roll, but have definitely had better lobster rolls in other places. The fries were nice! That said, the price here is pretty steep for the amount of food provided. It's definitely delicious, but I probably wouldn't come here again. I could not leave a review without saying that the staff here are incredible. They are friendly and helpful.

Great food, in fact I have to say this is easily the very best clam chowder I have ever had. The venue is clean, and comfortable, but with an upscale vibe. The price is fair for the quality. The service was good and I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in Seattle.

Had the full lobster roll. Great presentation, nice large amount of lobster in the roll. Fries were a little cold, but the staff is so lovely and nice. Great location. Will be back to try something else.

So first- there is no more happy hour menu. I came here for that since it looked like a great deal, but was told it didnt exist. In the end, it was still good food and the team was really nice. I ordered the hot (Connecticut style) lobster roll, automatically comes with fries. It was delicious.

Every time I come back to Seattle, I love taking my little tour at MARKET. In fact it’s cool to return to this soothing place … The Hot lobster roll in its toasted brioche is just simple and delicious, really and the rest of the menu seems to be just as good !

I had dinner alone at 5:30 and really appreciated the simple, clean, and quiet atmosphere. The lobster roll was, once again, refreshingly simple with a clean taste—no overpowering seasoning. This will definitely be my go-to spot in Seattle during business trips.

Saw a social media post, was super excited for my order (Bloody Mary lobster roll) husband ordered chowder, Cesar salad and kiddo ordered hot chocolate, fries and Cesar salad. It was all underwhelming in flavor, the service was subpar to say the least…for the price of it all…there are so many other places that are worthy…At least the sunset made up for the disappointment. 🤷‍♀️

Food was good. Like really good ill be back. Haven't had a crab sandwich Like this since going to the crab shack at the Mariners Stadium! Just needs tomato 🍅 added. Drinks were good and strong too. I already recommended to other friends 🧡

This place was so interesting- it popped up as highly rated and I thought it was a traditional restaurant but it reminds me more of a cafeteria you would grab food at from like a science center or library. So interesting. You order food when you walk in then they bring it to you. Seamless process and very efficient. Service was good. We came in at happy hour and they had cheap (high quality) oysters, their lobster roll had really good flavor, and great priced drinks. Again, the atmosphere was unique and not a spot I would find myself very often but it was a perfect start to our evening in the area!

Shockingly good food! I ordered the lobster roll which was pretty expensive, but to be expected from a restaurant affiliated with the museum. Quality was excellent, with decently large chunks of lobster and a delicious roll to hold everything. The service is simple, and the seating area is clean and simple. Definite recommendation to anyone visiting the museum!

I was browsing Yelp the night before trying to find good bites to eat and stumbled upon this place. The happy hour showed from 2-6pm an amazing short but good menu that includes a half lobster roll. With purchase of any beverage you can choose between Maine or Connecticut style - cold or warm. I opted for the Maine style with a Diet Coke total of only $15. Presentation was amazing wow and the amount of lobster... mind blown!! What a find!! The taste was so good, mainly lobster and no overload of spices and mayonnaise. The bun was nicely toasted and had little lettuce. Perfection yum What a find!!!

Stopped in 10 minutes before closing and the staff still let us order and sit down to enjoy our meal. We were pleasantly surprise by the food here! We had a couple of selections from their late night happy hour menu, including a 1/2 lobster roll, the rock fish tacos, and the garlic parmesan fries. Everything was cooked to perfection! This had to be my favorite lobster roll I've ever had and the fish I. The fish tacos was so much larger than I anticipated! I 100% will be back first thing if I ever return to the area!

This place deserves lines out the door! Best clam chowder I've had in Seattle. It is super flavors, chunky, and rich in flavor. I found this place walking towards pike place and seemed nice and a small place. We ordered the clam chowder and I got the Bloody Mary with half a lobster roll. I got my roll warm and omg again one of the best rolls I've ever had. The bread nice and toasty, the drink was amazingly good! If you go during their happy hour you can add half a roll to any drink for just $10. The servers are great, very friendly. The restaurant manager was so attentive and when something in our order didn't get added correctly he was so prompt to fix it. I honestly feel this place will soon be discovered by more people. I get so many go to pike place because I mean you have to. But you have to stop by this place.

Hubby RAVED about this place and its lobster roll. Finally had a chance to try it. Cute modern design on the interior. Food came quickly and I tasted that roll. He wasn't wrong. Soooooo fresh and delicious. A definite must try. The garlic Parmesan fries paired great. Washed it down with a Rachel's Ginger Beer (locally made)

We came in for a late lunch around 2pm and the cashier was nice. (Not super friendly and warm but, not cold). This place is a order then sit down restaurant. They have lots of seating and the interior is modern. There's also a bar in the back. We ordered the Hot PNW Crab Roll, Cold Maine Lobster Roll, and Lobster Bisque and it came out to be around $100. A little pricey but it is seafood. Here's our thoughts on each item: - Hot PNW Crab Roll (4/5): this was a good sandwich, my boyfriend and I just believed it need more sauce or an aioli because it was a little dry. It has good flavor over all and the bread was delicious. - Cold Maine Lobster Roll (5/5): loved this! It was our favorite. The lobster wasn't mushy and it had the perfect amount of sauce. The flavor and texture was 10/10. - Lobster Bisque (3/5): this was a little underwhelming. The soup just lacked flavor and maybe it's different because this bisque had a lot of chunks of garlic? Onions? I think it would've been better if they were creamed together because every bite was different. With bread and the lobster inside, the soup was good, but the soup itself wasn't anything special. Overall, it was a great experience and we'd definitely come back again but only for the lobster roll!

Meh. It was okay. Certainly nothing to write home about. Food was 6.6/10. Ambiance/environment/atmosphere was 9/10. service was 5/10. Wayyy too pricy. I wouldn't come out of my way to come back here, but it was fine.

Why 5 stars? Because this was my favorite meal of my trip. --- --- --- The restaurant I wanted to go to for dinner only had reservations available that were later than we were willing to wait, so we looked for alternatives. This ended up being a blessing in disguise, as my friend and I both agreed that this was the best meal of our two days in Seattle. I ordered a Connecticut lobster roll and a clam chowder bowl to maximize the Seattleness of my meal. The lobster roll was amazing. When I die, please stuff like 30 of these in my casket. 5-stars. The clam chowder was enjoyable, but got even better as it went on. 4.5-stars. And then we finished with a root beer float, which is hard to mess up. 4-stars. My friend ordered a salad with lobster, lobster bisque and a burger and loved all of it. The people were super friendly here as well. It was an interesting set up, in that, it was kind of as if it was designed by a higher end IKEA. It was nice, modern and sleek, but we also didn't feel out of place coming dressed from a football game.

Excellent food at a reasonable price, with a variety of cuisines. The lobster rolls are first rate. Attached to the museum, the place is very spacious.

My fiance and I were spending the day downtown for a weekend out, and we wanted to get a lobster roll to share. We saw that MARKET was selling some, so we dropped in to try it out. For a full lobster roll with a side of fries, the total was around $34. We took our number and sat down at one of the many tables in the dining area. After 5 minutes or so, the staff brought over our dish. The size of the lobster roll seemed to be on par with other rolls we've tried in the area. Taking a bite of the roll, our mouths were on an adventure. The tang of the lemon went great with the buttery-ness of the lobster. I appreciated the amount of lobster meat they put into the roll. The crunchy bread itself was a good compliment to the soft lobster, giving the roll more texture profile. I will say, I was a bit disappointed with the fries, as they were quite bland. They weren't salted that well either. I suggest that they put more seasoning to the fries and also pair it with a better sauce, as ketchup was making me wish for more.

Went to MARKET and was excited to see what a cute space it was, but the one vegan option they had on the menu wasn't available that day. Promptly turned around and walked out.

When in Seattle this is a MUST STOP HERE location. Beautiful yet simple decor. Very clean. Attentive and friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious! My dad and I ordered a lobster roll and also fish & chips and it was just the right amount of food for us to share. Easy walk from Pike Market. If you haven't eaten here I highly recommend giving it a try.

Wanted something quick during my lunch break and decided to stop here. The place was very modern and had plenty of tables open. The ordering process was also quick and simple as you order directly with the cashier and are given a number that you can place on the table for them to serve you. We decided to order the Hot Connecticut Lobster roll and Chowder Fries. I really liked how they were able to accommodate us by splitting the roll and fries in half. The lobster roll was really good. The lobster tasted really fresh and went really well with the toasted buns. The chowder fries were essentially fries with clam chowder on top. The fries were really crispy and the chowder was so creamy. Definitely recommend stopping by if you want a nice meal during your lunch break!

Ambiance: Good amount of indoor seating, very spacious! The decor is nice, kind of like an art gallery! Service: The cashiers were super nice, willing to explain/describe the difference between a half roll and full roll. Apparently the full roll isn't actually double the half roll in length, but the meat is double the half roll!! I'm giving 4 stars due to the guy on the floor. A couple had finished eating their meal and were leaving, so I asked if I could grab a chair from their table (we had 5 people and there was only a table with 4 chairs). They were super nice and told us to go for it! The employee on the floor gave my friends and I a nasty glare, rolled his eyes at us, and shook his head. I guess he wasn't happy about us taking the chair, but definitely didn't communicate it with us. It was a bit awkward having him give us disappointed stares as we ate... Food: My boyfriend and I ordered the hot crab roll (half) and hot lobster roll (half). Both came with fries, ketchup and a lemon slice! Both were packed with meat and very tasty! I will say that the lobster had more flavor than the crab one, so it was the heavier one. The crab roll was lighter and provided a more refreshing taste! We were very full, but would love to try more dishes from here in the future!

This place has super fresh lobster and have a great happy hour Sunday-Friday 2 to 6 pm. I would recommend getting the $10 half lobster roll and drink on happy hour because that's an insane deal. I tried out a few other happy hour items and this is what I thought. Crispy Crab Rangoon Burrito - I enjoyed this but it totally came be a bit much. If you like crab Rangoon this is just a larger version of them. (4/5) Lobster Bisque - I thought this was really solid. Flavors were good and fresh, you won't go wrong. (4.5/5) Watermelon Salad - Surprisingly refreshing. Simple and good. (4/5) Chowder Fries - This was a bit salty and really heavy for my liking. The salty part was kinda what killed it for me, not that it was bad but it's a bit much. Flavors were overall tasty though. (3.5/5) Popcorn Lobster - Crispy fried seafood. I thought it was tasty. (4/5) Lobster roll - It's a fresh buttery (5/5). I only tried happy hour so can only go based on that but I really enjoyed the experience and food. You order in the front and are given a number get your food delivered after. Would be back next Seattle trip.

What a nice happy hour! I flew into town on Sunday and wanted to get some seafood. I was happy to see that this place has a happy hour on Sunday (usually a weekday thing). I got the happy hour lobster roll for $10, which requires the purchase of a beverage. I paired my roll with a delicious sparkling rose and had a nice little meal! The lobster roll is a good size and filled with claw and tail meat.

My wife and I recently had lunch at The Market during our trip to Seattle and we were quite delighted with our experience. We decided to split the Market Roll Trio: a sumptuous set of half rolls including Maine, Connecticut, and PNW crab, all neatly served on toasted brioche rolls, and accompanied by a generous helping of fries. Our food arrived piping hot, and the freshness of the ingredients was evident with each bite. Out of the trio, the Connecticut lobster roll stood out as the best, making an immediate impression with its rich and succulent flavor. However, the PNW crab roll came in at a close second, delighting us with its distinct taste. The interior of The Market was as inviting as the food was delicious. The seating was comfortably spaced out, adding an intimate touch to our meal and offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. We particularly admired the cute décor, which further added to the charm of the place. Overall, our visit to The Market was a wonderful introduction to Seattle's vibrant food scene. It was indeed a fantastic first stop for lunch on our trip and we highly recommend it for seafood lovers. We can't wait to return and try more from their menu.

This place was ridiculously good, another reviewer wrote "they should have a line out the door" and it convinced me to walk a few blocks, they were NOT wrong. The lobster was fantastic, we also tried the crab and that was delicious as well. I recommend making the walk away from Pike Place and trying this fantastic business!

Instagram @aintgotnothingbutbodyfat Had to say this is the best lobster roll I've ever had in my life! I like the warm lobster roll with perfect dressing. Even the french fries on the side was too good we had to eat them all. We ordered: - LOBSTER ROLL CONNECTICUT STYLE WITH GARLIC - CHOWDER

BOMB lobster rolls. They serve both Maine and Connecticut style, both delicious. We went during their happy hour, 2-6pm on a Sunday. It was not too busy which was nice. The location is only 5 minute walk from Pike Place Market. Inside is lit up and clean. We got the two lobster rolls, two beers, fish tacos, kimchee nachos, and crab fried rice. Everything was DELICIOUS.

This is my first time having a lobster roll and I was blown away by the flavors. I thought I wouldn't like lobster rolls much because I'm not that big of a fan of lobster but this changed my whole demeanor. Was pricey but totally worth it. Also like the fact that it came with fries. I thought it was just the roll itself so that's a plus. Dungeoness was good but lobster was definitely better. The place looks so elegant and they have servers. I was imagining this place to be fast food service but it felt like an actual restaurant to where they serve you. They were all so nice and it was just a good experience with good food.

This is a really interesting restaurant right below SAM and a good place to go if you are hungry while visiting the museum. The restaurant is a little different in that it is not a sit down and order place. Instead, you order food and drinks when you come in and then they are delivered to you. Also, the tables are more of what you would find in cafeterias--they seem to be set up for high volume. Service was pretty quick, so good if you are in their for lunch. They have a good seafood menu. I had the lobster roll (with butter) and fries. The roll was delicious. There were good chunks of lobster, then the garlic and seasoning was just perfect. it can seem like a lot for a sandwich ($32) but worth it. The fries were good also. My friend had the fish tacos. They looked good and they through they were really tasty. We went there at kind of an odd time in the afternoon so it was not too busy, but imagine it gets busy at times. We will definitely be back again.

The hot crab rolls are where its at. I used to drive to Edmonds for it and now it's here in downtown Seattle. The space is so airy and pretty with the local painting for sale on the walls. The lobster bisque was a little disappointing as it was way too salty. Everything else was perfect though! Highly recommend!

I was in town for a conference and came here for dinner. The ambience is very inviting. It is sleek, clean, and modern. The entire menu looked fantastic - I ultimately decided on the ahi salmon bowl and clam chowder fries. First, the bowl. It was fresh! Beautiful presentation as well. The thing I like the best were the proportions. It was nicely balanced to where I could get a piece of everything in one bite. It was especially nice to have a bite of ginger subtlety in between bites. Definitely would eat again! Second, the fries. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I was pleasantly surprised. It's just like it sounds; golden crispy French fries with clam chowder on top. It was DELICIOUS. The clam chowder was silky, buttery, and had an ever-so mild heat at the end. Full of flavor! I wish I was in town longer to try more options. If you're looking for an affordable, delicious, cool place then you won't be disappointed coming here.

We ordered the Market roll trio. This is a great way to taste multiple rolls and it's also large enough to share with 2 people. It came with a crab roll, cold lobster mayo roll, and a hot butter lobster roll. I enjoyed the lobster rolls more than the crab roll. I would come back here to try other food or get a full lobster roll.

This eatery is located on the ground floor of the Seattle Art Museum. It has unique offerings of sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, burgers, and pasta. We split the Albacore Tuna Fish & Chips that consists of beer battered albacore tuna filet, tartar, lemon, fries, and a side of minty peas. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It was filling and delicious!

They have a Happy Hour Menu with just 10$ for a half-lobster roll. We-Friday, Sunday 3-5pm. Their lobster rolls are tasty and they were so generous with the lobster even though it's on the happy hour menu! Service was 10/10z

My trip to Seattle was proof of a delicious destiny. I did my research and soon learned that, right near the Seattle Art Museum, was MARKET @themarketfishmonger, said to have one of the finest Lobster Roll's in the city. My mind whirred with excitement, even while I meandered through the museum appreciating the art pieces around me, the knowledge that I would soon be wondrously satiated was all I could think of! When the restaurant clock struck 11, I was first in line to order a Maine Lobster Roll, which I unwrapped to unveil big pieces of fantastically seasoned lobster meat stuffed between buttered, toasted bread. Bite after delicious bite, the flavors of satisfaction and excitement were unleashed! I even decided to treat myself to a Crab in a Bag - soft shell crabs that were tossed with chilies, garlic and spices - delicious! I left the restaurant perfectly content and the sunny weather outside only made it sweeter. It was the perfect snack to top off a great day!

I was told the clam chowder here was even better than the famous pike's, and it did not disappoint! As a native of the south, I was happy to find a place in Seattle that seasoned their food. Happy hour with $10 half rolls is unbelievable! Rolls have so much meat. I was surprised that you stand in line and order from a counter. Friendly staff and food was fast.

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!

Fun restaurant place near he pier. The service was stellar and had a great conversation with the staff. My wife and I split the trio which consisted of two half lobster rolls and a half of a crab roll. Connecticut roll may be one of the best lobster dishes I have ever had. The garlic, butter and old bay complimented the lobster perfectly. The Dungeness crab roll was good but I still prefer the Virginia blue crab (first time trying) but I have to respect the small amount of filler and the amount of crab that was in the roll. The Maine roll was your traditional mayo based roll that was good however it was overshadowed by the Conn. role. The atmosphere was relaxing and very clean.

We are here for the weekend and craving for some seafood. Came across this on Yelp close to our hotel so we decided to try it. We enjoyed all the food here. Love the decor and love the food. We ordered half dozen of oysters, fish taco, and crab in a bag. Oysters: so fresh and so good! Crab in a bag: 6 half pieces of soft shell crab. It is on the small size and wished there were some aioli dipping sauce. :) Cod fish taco: came with two fried cod tacos. The sauce and the chunks of mango was my fav.

Market is located minutes away from Pike Place Market but far enough away that it is not crowded. I got the "crab in a bag" and was a little disappointed by how dry it was. However, the tacos were amazing, and I would definitely go back and order them again. You order at the cash register and then bring your number to your seat. This system was fast and efficient. We waited no longer than ten minutes for our two meals. Afterwards, the employees come and pick up the plates, so it is half and half table service not a sit-down restaurant. This would be a great place to bring kids as I believe they have a kid's menu as well. They also have fun drinks for adults including frose!

The MARKET at the Seattle Art Museum is owned and operated by the same restaurant in Edmonds. It has both an eatery area and an expanded bar; no fishmonger here though. (The Edmonds one does.) They have quality seafood, even if spendy these days. Inflation. There is a giant screen for the menu. You can order via the screen or talk to the person at the counter. We did it the old school way. We were the only new customer then, so the food arrived quickly. Service is swift and on-point. This location is very classy and quite a contrast to the original Edmonds location (which is small and hard to find a place to sit). The interior here is photo worthy. The bar area is easily date worthy; a corner table is date worthy, too. They rent out the wall space for artists to sell their art. It's actually a logical approach since they do share the building with Seattle Art Museum. The Food: "MAR-KET Seafood Pinch Buns Trio" - 3 Stars The trio are Maine style lobster (served cold, mayo), Connecticut style lobster (served warm), and Dungeness Crab, which is the inferior amongst the three. We didn't know pinch buns are Chinese white baos. (Insert eye roll.) We're gonna stick with the normal lobster rolls in the future. Fish & Chips, $21 - 4 Stars The fish is a beer battered rockfish filet. It's fried to a crispy perfection. I definitely recommend this. Spendy though. Crab in a Bag, $21 - 4.5 Stars When we first ate this in the Edmonds location, this dish is served in a bag, hence the name. It was soooo good. At this location, we get a heaping portion of "Crab in a Bag" without the bag - fried soft-shell crab, chilies, and LOTS of garlic. (Vampires be warned!) This is easily their must order dish. Without the bag, the grease isn't being absorbed by the bag; serving it in a bowl tastes greasier. They should use the oil absorption sheets like how tempura is served.

We were in Seattle and needed a seafood fix. This was a fun stop for our crew. My husband had the Fish & Chips, a beer battered rockfish filet, tartar sauce, lemon, fries, minty peas. He enjoyed every bite. I have a fish allergy, but I can have shell fish so I went for Crab in a Bag, fried soft shell crab, chilies, garlic, spices. Yum! Those were some good crispy critters. They had a nice selection of beverages. There was something for everyone. This was a good stop before our walking tour.

This lobster roll was okay, the bread wasn't the most fresh and the fries were overdone. I understand lobster rolls aren't cheap so that being said, I would try one from another spot next time.

I love seafood and have always wanted to try a lobster roll but have never gotten around to it until I visited The MARKET. I'm glad I got to try my first lobster roll here and can't wait to try more at other restaurants in the future! We ordered the Connecticut Lobster Roll and Seafood Chowder to split between 2 people, which was the perfect amount of food for us. We also paid $2 to upgrade our fries, and while it sounds like a lot for some garlic and parmesan, it made a huge difference and was definitely worth it. The seafood chowder was also rich and yummy! In terms of the layout of the place, you order at the registers and seat yourself at any available table. They'll bring the food to you based on the number they handed you at the register to place on your table. We came at peak lunch hours on a weekday and there was a decent amount of seating for us to pick from since they have a pretty large space.

Was excited to try this place but unfortunately it was a major disappointment. Went there for the crab in a bag and fish and chips. Both tasted very fishy and soggy unfortunately. The crab had zero flavor even though it is supposed to have garlic and chillies. The person taking the order was great, my sons chicken fingers was good as well as half dozen oysters. Definitely a big let down given the high expectations with all the reviews they had.

If you don't want to wait in long lines and busy restaurants, come here!! Near Pike Place!! Food: All the food tastes great! I love the fish tacos, fresh oysters from Taylor's, and Maine Lobster. Portions are huge and so worth! Service: You order and find your own seat. They will bring you your dishes. Super easy & quick! Parking: It's difficult finding parking near Pike Place so.. GOODLUCK! lol

Nice modern aesthetic. The staff were so sweet and attentive. I got the Dungeness Crab Roll. The brioche bread was incredible. The crab was soft and tasty. Loved the tartar sauce too - a bit of dill but not over powering. The fries were soft and tasty. Great for a large group too.

Why I have never seen this hidden-not so hidden gem until now! I was mind blown by this place! I ordered the Hot Connecticut lobster roll and all I can say I want to eat this for the rest of my life. They have good amount of seasoning for the lobster and they gave me a lot of lobster! The bread was toasted so perfectly and it absorbed the lobster juice! I want more!!!!!and will definitely go back for more.

Went for happy hour and it was nothing special. The crab rangoon "burrito" was actually two egg rolls filled with cream cheese and I didn't taste any crab with it. The vibe is very holiday inn express breakfast room but the staff is really nice.

The Dungeness crab roll was delicious! Chowder was great as well. The place had a modern feel as others have mentioned. Great lunch spot if you're in the area.

Came here on a Saturday for brunch. Location is connected to Seattle art museum and had been on my list of places to try for a bit (since their Edmonds location had gotten so much publicity). Parking is what it is in that area, a combination of street parking or private lot parking. Food , service and ambiance were all spot on. You order as you enter and they give you a number to take to your table. The cold water lobster roll I had was quite good, and we had some great oysters as well. Prices are a bit steep but it makes sense for what you are getting and the type of restaurant it is. Would definitely come back and can add it to the list of stops in the pike place area to bring friends / out of town ppl.
