    Love this place for clam chowder and seafood plus they moved their Lake Union location since the last time we were in Seattle almost 5 years ago. Now it’s in an even nicer location and we sat on the patio overlooking the lake. Still great food and excellent service.

    Sat on the heated patio overlooking the marina and enjoyed delicious seafood, friendly service and refreshing cocktails. Even saw some seaplanes land and take off. The salmon bites were a great start and the halibut was fresh and perfectly prepared.

    The food was great as always but the restaurant is in major need of uplift to bring it to current times. They were very accommodating in moving our reservation out by 2 hours. There was a mix up where some server picked up our appetizer from kitchen for a different table and our appetizer came 10 minutes after our main meal was served. We had to ask our server for it to see what happened to appetizers. No sorry, no apologies and manager didn't even stop by to address the situation. We ended up just packing one of the main menu item instead of eating it as it has gotten cold while waiting for appetizer. I expect better.
