Chef Renee Erickson’s new oyster bar in the Kolstrand Building (4743 Ballard Avenue NW) opens today.

The Walrus and the Carpenter will open at 4 p.m. with a full menu, which includes more than just oysters.

This is the second business to open in the refurbished building. Dutch Bike Co. opened last weekend. Chef Ethan Stowell’s restaurant, Staple & Fancy will open soon.
