"If I'm still without plans on Christmas Eve I can go to Rider, the Theodore Hotel's seafood-focused restaurant, which will be offering holiday specials in addition to its regular menu including Dungeness chili crab made-to-order, dishes with black winter truffles, dry-aged ribeye, and the popular pull-apart rolls with crab fat butter available for pick-up; reservations are strongly suggested." - Maggy Lehmicke
"In the bottom floor of the Hotel Theodore, Rider looks like a standard-issue upscale downtown hotel restaurant — but the menu is full of delightful surprises. Dishes center around Pacific Northwest cuisine, particularly seafood; everything’s locally sourced and put together in out-of-the-box ways. Standouts include the citrus salmon coho with gin cured roe and Ellenos Greek yogurt, and seared black cod with tokyo turnips and brown butter kohlrabi mousseline." - Gabe Guarente
