Fish Club, located inside the hotel, is Todd English�s first restaurant in the Pacific Northwest and his first venture with Marriott International.  Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows accented by warm lighting, subtle hues and live jazz, Fish Club�s menu draws from cultures around the world offering a variety of seafood-centric dishes.  Starters include, lobster and chanterelle crepe, cornmeal-coated calamari and Louisiana gumbo. Featured entrees include Alaskan halibut steak with bouillabaisse sauce, a Chinese-influenced black bass and Cantonese-style Dungeness crab wok fried with ginger.  Guests can also enjoy cocktails, appetizers and a special afternoon tea service in the Lobby Bar, Starbucks coffees and light snacks at the Trolley Café, and 24-hour room service.
