cruzgryphon Posted May 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'll preface by saying I've looked at the Trip Advisor and the other Seattle thread on here - so hopefully there won't be too much overlap. This will be my second trip to Seattle - staying at the Westin downtown for a day before cruise next month. First trip to Seattle had dinner at Anthony's and absolutely loved it. That being said, for this trip I'm looking for seafood restaurant suggestions for a late, casual lunch (after 1pm), hopefully somewhere between Pike Place Market and the Westin. Seafood wise - love crab, chowder, scallops, shrimp dishes (no Oysters). For the evening I'm thinking of Serious Pie, Dahlia Lounge, Wild Ginger - any other suggestions. Thanks, CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Not sure of the exact location, but try Ivars. Very good. http://www.ivars.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted May 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Have you looked at yelp.com it give local restaraunt reviews. I wouldn't put ivars in the Anthonys equation. What I like is McCormick and Schmicks on Lake union. While now a chain it started in Portland. They have locations downtown but the one on Lk Union you could reach by the streetcar line close to the Westin. Take it Lk Union and the restaraunt is on the water in the AGC bldg. Its a one long block walk but I enjoy it. Its in the anthony's quality but a little more casual. I always go for happy hour but you might google them. I eat in the bar as it has a great views of the water and the seaplane 'airport' is right in front making for some nice scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted May 25, 2011 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2011 if you go to page 4 of this forum there is a thread called Seattle Food that might provide suggestions for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzgryphon Posted May 26, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions and input. Should have mentioned in my first post that I was looking for something more casual than Anthony's. CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted May 26, 2011 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions and input. Should have mentioned in my first post that I was looking for something more casual than Anthony's. CG Pike Place chowder and Piroshky Piroshky are 2 of my favorites @ Pike place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010_cruisers Posted May 26, 2011 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Possible restaurants you probably appreciate - blue acre seafood..., or by pike place - steelhead diner (southern - jumbo, peacon pie) or elysian fields. For eclectic-American food, Icon Grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristikae Posted June 7, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Another vote for Pike Place Chowder! It's a must for me on every trip to Seattle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeRockChalkKU Posted June 12, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Since you mentioned Tom Douglas places like Serious Pie and Dahlia Lounge - look at his Lola menu and consider the Big Tom Meal - we loved it and it was so much fun served family style and involved so many foods that we usually wouldn't have tried. We also stayed at the Westin and it's so close to Lolas. We hope to go back on our next trip and would do the Big Tom again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzgryphon Posted June 14, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks for posting the info and link to the NY Times article. It was a fun read..just the sort of thing to kick off pre-cruise planning. Definitely looking forward to it. Thanks, CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillbillyInBC Posted June 14, 2011 #13 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'll second the recommendation for Lola above. Chandler's Crabhouse on Lake Union is also worthy of consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
