Embark on an odyssey of invertebrates, mollusks, fish and mischief on the Salish Seas.

Once again, Café Nordo transforms the south end of Theo Chocolate; this time into an intimate restaurant on an old sailing vessel where folklore and science merge into a five course pre-fixe celebration of the fruits of our seas. Chef Nordo's menu highlights all of the local and sustainable gifts of the waters around Seattle. Original music and performance are the wind and waves in the evocation of a sailor's love for the ocean.

South Pacific meets The Blue Planet meets The Flying fish, all lovingly crafted for our Seattle Audience.

As always Chef Nordo's menu is what is is; there will be no substitutions for lily-livered algae-eaters. Nordo ensures that every meal is an opportunity for transcendence, accompanied as it is by a wine flight conceived and procured by Vino Verite. Concerned citizens can leave their Monterey Bay Aquarium wallet cards at home, as local and sustainable seafood is at the very heart of this love letter to the sea.

Celebrating the bounty of the Northwest Salish Sea, the menu reflects local, sustainable, and seasonable ingredients. Harboring the vast majority of aquatic life, the shallow sea's diversity crowds our unique archipelago.
