The Walrus and the Carpenter

A beloved, buzzy oyster bar in Old Ballard from chef Renee Erickson, marrying a fishing-pub vibe with smart small plates and piles of fresh local oysters. Go for the raw bar, fried oysters, and a crisp Muscadet in a lively, candlelit room. Practical note: it doesn't take reservations and fills fast, so arrive early or expect a wait.
