Tucked in the Astra Seattle Hotel at 300 Terry Avenue North is a gem of a dining spot in South Lake Union. Otium Grill and Greens opened in summer 2022 with the debut of the new hotel property.
Chef Kalen Schramke helms the kitchen at Otium, and his time spent on his grandparent’s Michigan orchard translates to the culinary direction here. Diners will find local, sustainable, and organic produce and proteins throughout the Northwest-inspired menu. Dishes are flavored with the likes of charred date butter, fennel jam, and kale marmalade.
As the name suggests, the menu includes space for grilled items and greens. Think hangar steak with grilled broccoli and lime chimichurri from the grill, and roasted carrots with sesame seeds, honey, sumac, tahini yogurt, and mint from the greens section. Small plates like the tuna crudo will delight with its sustainable albacore with citrus, fennel jam, and green oil.
