One of the city's most bustling hot spots on warmer days, Westward is a water-inspired, full-service restaurant and bar that first opened its sails in the fall of 2013 on the north shore of Lake Union. Chef WIll Gordon sends out delectable, innovative dishes that balance contemporary Northwest and Mediterranean flavors with an approach called "natural and continually evolving, reflecting the simplicity of great products, fresh ingredients and the changing seasons. A wood-burning oven anchors the kitchen, and each seat in the restaurant boasts stunning views of the lake and cityscape. Outside, a large deck, fire pit and beach area provide the ideal vantage point for sipping cocktails in the warmer months or to snuggle under wool blankets (provided by the venue) in the winter. A 100-foot dock provides boat parking or a place to tie up kayaks while enjoying servings of oysters or creative cocktails.
