Chef Ethan Stowell will open a new restaurant in Seattle’s Four Seasons Hotel in late spring, to replace ART Restaurant & Lounge. Chef Joe Ritchie, who currently heads the kitchen at Stowell’s mkt. in Tangletown, will helm the new spot, which will be open for lunch and dinner and “offer a gorgeous selection of shellfish from the region, a top-notch burger, and a smattering of classic appetizers among modern Pacific Northwest dishes.” E
