A View with your
meal
The canal itself is the setting. Two hundred miles of cold, clean saltwater fjord flanked by the Olympic Mountains to the west and the Cascades visible on clear days to the east. The light here changes by the hour, morning silver giving way to afternoon blue, the mountains catching alpenglow while you're still finishing dinner.
Seals work the shallows. Herons stand at the tide line. Eagles pass overhead with a frequency that stops feeling remarkable only after your third or fourth visit.
These are the restaurants where the setting is as much the point as what's on the plate.
