Description

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

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

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]
