The Best Restaurant in Seattle Center and Lower Queen Anne, Seattle

One of Washington’s largest shellfish farmers, Taylor shows off its harvest at this bright, high-energy bar. Oysters take center stage, but you’ll also find crab, prawns, clams, mussels, and geoduck—and the indulgent Salish Sampler lets you try a bit of everything. This is more a place for a raw shellfish feast than a full meal, though hearty chowders and stews can fill in the gaps. Located across the street from Seattle Center, it’s a favorite pre- or post-event stop.
