"Oyster specialist The Walrus And The Carpenter should be on your list if you’re seeking fresh shellfish in Seattle. Whether you eat them at a table or while seated at the big, majestic marble bar, order them raw or cornmeal-crusted, you shall fulfill your quest for the perfect salty mollusk. The sparkling rosé and seasonal small plates are stellar too, but be prepared for a substantial wait since they don't take reservations. Note that popping by next door to sister bar Barnacle for an amaro spritz beforehand should be part of the plan." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
