Description
[edit]Westward is a restaurant on the north end of Seattle's Lake Union,[3] in the Fremont/Wallingford area.[4][5] The magazine Seattle Metropolitan has said it is "between the Burke-Gilman, the lake, and a boat storage facility".[6] The restaurant has a deck with Adirondack chairs and views of the lake and city skyline,[7] as well as a fire pit and parking for boats.[8] The restaurant serves American cuisine and seafood.[9] The New York Times has described the food as "an intriguing mix of Mediterranean and Northwest dishes",[3] and Thrillist has said the business is "where chef and restaurateur Renee Erickson's menu hones in on her specialty—seafood—with a Mediterranean twist".[10]
