LloydMartin’s Tapas Pop-Up April 1 03.25.13
Sometimes, a diversion is a good thing! Such is the case on April 1 when LloydMartin becomes a tapas pop-up restaurant aptly named Diversion.
Stemming from its Spanish meaning “to have fun” Diversion will be touting new and old world Spanish tapas, including inspirations from the famed El Bulli restaurant, Estrella beer (really the only Spanish beer to drink with tapas), Spanish wines and cocktails as well as a tapas bar inspired ambiance. The April Fools Day pop-up is no joke, but part of a trend in one-day-only restaurants as noted by Seattle Met. Watch below when Chef Sam Crannell joined KING 5 New Day Northwest to chat about Diversion and showcase a couple of menu items including candy floss (a grown-up food enthusiasts version of cotton candy! Check out the pic from Seattle Weekly).
The tapas menu will be priced from $3-12 so pop in for a dish or two and experience a Spanish-style tapas bar in Seattle’s own Queen Anne neighborhood. Diversion will be opening at 4 p.m. so get there early!

Lloyd Martin Does It Again! 11.05.12
Lloyd Martin was already awarded Seattle Weekly’s Best New Restaurant earlier this year and now chef-owner Sam Crannell’s Queen Anne restaurant receives another Best New Restaurant accolade, this time from Seattle magazine!
On newsstands now (and read it here), Seattle magazine’s November issue boasts a beautiful shot of perhaps the most-loved dish – Sam’s Elk Bolognese with huckleberry sauce. It’s a stunner, to say the least, pleasing critics and diners since the restaurant opened a year ago.
If the handsome dining room is full, opt for a spot at the equally comfortable bar in the hands of Tyler, the bartender that also elicited nods from Seattle magazine as one of the best in the biz. We can attest to that!

Our New Client – Lloyd Martin 05.11.12
Lloyd Martin, our latest client, is a Queen Anne treasure that has been impressing local food critics since it opened in October and we are thrilled to be part of this head-turning dining option.
We were first impressed by how many of the items are truly housemade ingredients. This small neighborhood restaurant makes everything from its fresh mozzarella to its own pasta. Mix that in with Chef-Owner Sam Crannell’s passionate use of exotic game meats, flavor driven sauces and his ability to change the menu every few days based on the ingredients that come in his door – well, we were hooked!
Lloyd Martin rounds out the perfect dining experience with beautiful brown liquors in the bar, draught beer and wines from the everyday bottle to a very impressive cellar.
Social Hour tests this chef’s ability everyday, which he passes with flying colors! Tuesday-Saturday, 5-6 p.m., Sam puts masterpieces on the plate for $5 and under in the bar. Foie Gras? Sometimes. Lamb meatballs with ramps? Yep, that, too. Cocktails of your choosing are also appropriately priced in the hopes that the “social” hour will introduce you to new friends and give you a reason to meet old friends.
We mentioned the critics and we weren’t bluffing, from The Seattle Times to Seattle Weekly, Seattle Magazine to the most recent Seattle Met reviews, Seattle’s best critics have turned their heads in the direction of Lloyd Martin and we encourage you to, too! New dishes are enticing nightly.
Located at 1525 Queen Anne Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109.
