If only school field trip fare had been this good. The Seattle Art Museum’s mod in-house restaurant satiates culture vultures with an oyster bar, scratch cocktails, seasonally inspired menus, and (of course) artful presentations.
Musicals, ballets, concerts, Broadway shows — they all collide at this arts center. From Wicked and The Nutcracker to The Donkey Show — if it’s a production, you’ll find it here.
