The story
Six Seven Restaurant & Lounge sits directly on the waterfront at The Edgewater Hotel on Seattle's Alaskan Way, with views stretching across Elliott Bay. The setting is striking, but the kitchen earns its own attention: the menu is built around Pacific Northwest cuisine, leaning on fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients that shift with the seasons.
The wine program has drawn recognition from Wine Spectator, which granted the restaurant its Award of Excellence — a reflection of a list curated around standout wineries from Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. It's the kind of program that rewards exploration, pairing naturally with a menu that keeps the Pacific in focus.
The seafood section reads like a map of the region's waters. Penn Cove Mussels arrive in an IPA broth with fennel, leek, and spicy butter. Cedar Planked Salmon comes with truffle corn cream, forest mushrooms, and rainbow potatoes — a dish that anchors the Pacific Northwest identity of the kitchen. Miso Black Cod with calabaza purée and dashi mushrooms shows the menu's willingness to reach across the Pacific for technique while staying rooted in local product.
For those who want to build their own plate, the chilled seafood selection is serious: PNW oysters by the half or full dozen, a Dungeness Crab Salad with granny smith apple and lemon crème fraîche, and a Grand Plateau stacking twelve oysters, lobster tail, snow crab claws, and multiple crudo preparations. Land-side, a Roquefort Crusted Filet of Beef and a Skagit Valley Chicken roasted under a brick represent the kitchen's comfort with both refined technique and regional sourcing.
Six Seven runs through the full day — brunch service opens at 7:00 a.m., dinner carries into the evening, and the lounge stays open late on weekends. The breadth makes it a natural fit for a leisurely morning over the water or a longer dinner occasion. Private dining is available for buyouts and smaller gatherings, with the bay views serving as an effortless backdrop for celebrations.
The restaurant's position — physically on the water, committed to Pacific Northwestern cooking, and recognized for the quality of its cellar — gives it a coherence that goes beyond hotel dining.
