"Let’s say you’re planning a celebration and want to keep things simple, with something on the water that serves a few variations on a nice piece of fish with a carb and a vegetable. Skip all of Seattle’s other mediocre waterfront seafood restaurants and prioritize Ray’s Boathouse in Ballard. Sure, dishes like grilled king salmon with mashed potatoes and buerre blanc tastes like something you’d eat at a gala, but it all just works. Especially if you time things out to have dessert as the sun sets behind Shilshole Bay." - Aimee Rizzo
