Shaved ice mignonette >>>>

Oh my goodness, you guys! I just had the most incredible seafood feast that I absolutely have to share. If you're anywhere near the PNW, you HAVE to check out this spot. I'm still dreaming about the *oysters on ice*! They had a fantastic selection of *fresh shucked oysters*, and I went for the *Kumamoto oysters*. They were perfectly briny and sweet, just melt-in-your-mouth amazing. What really blew me away was their unique *shaved ice mignonette*. It wasn't just a regular sauce; it was this incredible, frosty concoction, almost like a granita, with hints of cucumber and melon, and a bright lemon wedge for that extra zing. It paired so beautifully with the oysters, adding a refreshing, cool element that I've never experienced before. It's definitely a step up from your standard *lemon mignonette*! I always seek out places with interesting takes on classics, and this certainly delivered. But the oysters weren't the only stars of the show! We also indulged in some seriously delicious *crab deviled eggs*. They were rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, a perfect starter. For mains, my friend got the *crab cake sandwich*, which looked absolutely divine with its crispy edges and generous crab filling, served with a side of perfectly seasoned *sweet potato fries*. I opted for the *salmon sandwich*, and let me tell you, the salmon was cooked to perfection – flaky and moist, a true delight. And for drinks? We had a gorgeous espresso martini and a refreshing *mule cocktail*. The menu, which was displayed on a cool *chalkboard*, had so many tempting options. It made me wish I could try everything! The whole atmosphere was just perfect for a relaxed yet upscale lunch. If you're looking for a special shaved ice shop experience, maybe not for dessert but for this amazing mignonette, this place is a must-visit. It's truly a hidden gem, possibly in the Union area, or maybe it's just the 'union' of great food and atmosphere! I heard someone mention a 'Frosty Flamingo' nearby, so perhaps that's a hint. Whatever the location, the focus here is definitely on fresh, quality seafood and unique preparations. This place really knows how to do seafood right. I'm already planning my next trip back!
