Westward is a restaurant in Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington.[1][2] Established in 2013, the restaurant operates on the north end of Lake Union.

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]

History

[edit]

The restaurant opened in 2013.[11][12] Chef Josh Henderson sold Westward to business partners Chad Dale and Ira Gerlich in 2018.[13] In 2019, Renee Erickson's restaurant group Sea Creatures announced a temporary closure for a remodel, starting in early 2020.[14]

Reception

[edit]

In 2015, Eater Seattle said Westward was among the city's best restaurants with views.[15] Time Out Seattle rated Westward four out of five stars in 2018.[16]
