Seattle Seafood Restaurant
 
I will be in Seattle for just one <BR>night at the "Inn at the Market". <BR>Being so convenient to the Market, <BR>I am looking for best moderately <BR>priced, casual, seafood restaurant <BR>within walking distance. <BR>Any favorites?? <BR>

Etta's Seafood, but I would call ahead at least a week to avoid disappointment.(206) 443-6000 Easy walk from Inn at the Market. Place Pigalle is also very good though tecnically not a seafood restaurant, but does include great seafood. It's very small so res are essential 624-1756

I'll second Etta's, especially since your're at Inn at the Market. But if you want to take a taxi, go to Flying Fish or (and especially if you want great salmon or oysters and a wine list to die for) Ray's Boathouse. Same caveat re reservations.

Wouldn't recommend taking a taxi to Ray's - it will cost approximately $50 each way from downtown. Other seafood places that meet your criteria: <BR> <BR>Anthony's (on the water) - definitely walking distance <BR> <BR>BTW - dress code in Seattle is "are you comfortable?" <BR> <BR>Would stay away from McCormick and Schmik's (I think that's the spelling) not very good seafood - I think it's frozen first. <BR> <BR>BTW - Cafe Campagne which is downstairs at your hotel (NOT Campagne) has excellent food as well.

$50 from downtown to Ray's??? What cab company are you calling, one from Portland? <BR> <BR>You don't have to go far for "Matt's in the Market". Simply the best place in Seattle if you can get a table.

Yes, it is about $50 to Ray's - it's in Shilshoe. It's currently $42 from my place in Seattle to the airport (about the same distance from downtown to Ray's). (as of last week anyway) No, I'm not living in Portland! Why do people feel compelled to give rude comments on this board? I just don't understand that. <BR> <BR>When is the last time you took a cab in SEA? It's $10 just from downtown to the end of Madison (without tip!).

Just wanted to say thank you to all <BR>who took the time to offer your <BR>suggestions. It's really wonderful <BR>to hear from those who know first <BR>hand!
