We opted in for the Tomahawk steak to celebrate a friend's bday. The wild boar shoulder gnocchi was awesome too. Overall delicious dinner here.

Landmarks on the map in Seattle.
From the landmarks everyone knows to the corners nobody thought to list — real places, each with the photograph someone actually took — contributed by travellers and by the openly-licensed archive, and growing as more are added.
Coordinates are about where the photograph was taken — the medoid of this place’s pins, at 4 decimals (~11 m). Approximate by design, and not an official gazetteer position.
Plus 79+ more spots across Seattle — see every pin on the live map in the app, or browse all destinations.
Seattle spots, the quick version.
How many spots does Photerra have in Seattle?
102 and counting — each one a real photograph, pinned about where it was taken. The map grows as people add to it and as the open archive is reviewed in.
Are these Seattle spots on Google Maps?
Many aren't. Photerra's spots are photo-coordinates — viewpoints, benches, trailheads and corners with no business listing or address — so they don't show up on maps built from business directories.
How do I get to a spot with no address?
Open any spot in the Photerra app and tap once to launch Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber or Lyft — we hand them the coordinates even when the place has no name.
