Seafood Restaurant·Nautical, Buzzy, Scenic
Located on the shores of Lake Union in Wallingford, Westward is a quintessential Seattle dining experience. The restaurant features a Mediterranean-slanted menu with a heavy focus on fresh seafood, ranging from sweet local oysters to flavorful blackened salmon. Its nautical-inspired interior is charming, but the real draw is the outdoor space where guests can watch paddlers go by against the backdrop of the city skyline. While the menu is curated and portions can be modest, the quality of ingredients and the vibrant atmosphere make it a top choice for brunch or sunset drinks.

Westward is highly regarded for its exceptional location on Lake Union, offering some of the best waterfront views in Seattle. Reviewers frequently praise the freshness of the oysters and the flavorful execution of seafood dishes like blackened salmon and jerk chicken. The atmosphere is described as clean and friendly, though some guests find the menu a bit limited and note that portions are small relative to the price. There is a recurring mention of extra charges for sauces and condiments which some found unexpected. Service is generally solid, though it can be slower during the early morning brunch rush. Overall, it remains a favorite for its scenic patio and nautical charm.
