Right on Ballard Ave. in the middle of unique shops and fun trendy restaurants, you can't miss it.
Especially with their cleverly worded sign-board outside!
Allison leading the way...looking a little "crabby" (She just loves her picture taken; NOT)
Tom is in Heaven! The Ballard Annex had (s) a complete selection of locally sourced Pacific Northwest oysters; Hamma Hammas, Quilcene's, tiny Olympias...
I loved the artwork, and cool nautical rope decor throughout the restaurant. So much fun! Can you see the snow-capped Olympic Mountains in the background behind the octopus tentacles and "captured" ships? Love the school house lighting fixtures too!
I am thinking that this taught rope look would make fabulous "pickets" on a stairwell -
Did I mention that Tom was in Oyster Heaven? $1.50 Happy Hour Oysters! Not to mention the really delish cocktails... (It was 92 degrees in the shade and we were more than ready for cold drinks) As you all know, I don't eat the oysters, but Allison and I did order the "bubbles"!
Allison was quite the trooper and did try a few oysters - (way more than me!)
From the look on her face, I don't think she's decided if she's oyster fan or not. Tom is still trying to convince her...
Trying to remember, but I think this was only Tom's first round Hamma Hammas (Hood Canal Oysters) and the Maritime IPA. He was a happy boyfriend. It was the least that I could do after dragging him to the Fremont Flea Market on a 90 degree plus Sunday in Seattle. (more on that later!)
Yep, I know that we will be back. Any of our Seattle friends want to join us?
