    Full order of Loaded Seafood Nachos
    Zellina P.

    Yum! 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and we were seated promptly. Craving a "snacky lunch", we opted for the full-size Fully Loaded Crab Nachos ($30). They did not disappoint! Great crab to chip ratio and not over sauced. Our server was nice and we appreciated the warm conversation from someone we assumed was the manager. We will definitely be back to try other menu items when we're in town!

    Clam Chowder

    Shuck It Oyster, great story, good vibes, and even better taste! Shuck It is located in a market spot in downtown Martinez, super cozy, casual, and fun. My husband and I sat at the bar, were greeted quickly by the staff and shortly after by one of the owners (we didn't know?!). The owner helped us decide or else we would have ordered one of everything on the menu! lol We decided to go with Ceviche, Oysters, cup of clam chowder and the slider trio. We thought this would give us a taste of everything - and we were right! After eating it all we were stuffed and satisfied! The ceviche had a healthy amount of flavor and protein, and when you add the garlic/habanero hot sauce, it is so good! The clam chowder was by far the best! We started dipping the bread and sliders in it! Definitely best we've ever had! Take your basic chowder recipe and amplify with added flavor and seasoning! WOW! We even ordered some to go! The sliders were also fantastic, each with a different flavor, but our favorite was easily the crab slider! We went in thinking the lobster would be the winner, but we were pleasantly surprised! We already want to go back to get a crab melt! Amazing service, location, and food.

    We found this using the United Airlines dining app. It's in a small trip mall with a bakery, sandwich shop, and Sushi place. The service was fantastic and the food was great. Full bar. Great little hang out spot or date night.

    6 oysters

    Really disappointed by this place. This is located in the little food court in downtown Martinez and just has 6 bar seats. We came by on Sat and they said they had no warm food at all, I guess their oven/stoves were down so they only had shrimp cocktails, oysters, but also clam chowder, which seems concerning so all I ordered was oysters. Service took longer than I would expect to shuck 6 oysters even though we were the only ones at the bar. The quality was subpar. The oysters of the day were supposed to be from WA but it felt like they gave us a mix of different ones. Worth another try seeing the other reviews but maybe it was just a bad day to go.

    This place is in a food court, it offers bar seating, and there are open table seating in the common area. You can't and don't need to make reservations. Seating is first come first serve. Oysters are fresh but on a pricier side. $80 for 2 dozens. With tax and tips, at least $100 for 24 pieces. We got there before 7pm, clam chowder is completely out. Cocktail is decent but cost $16 and up. Other food options are also great and affordable. There are pizza, Vietnamese food, and ice cream & cookies. There is also a permanent jewelry place and drinking lounge upstairs for age 21 or above.

    Crab melt. Pretty good.

    Love the ambiance and the genuine warmth with service. Disappointed with lobster roll. It was more of a lobster salad with tons of filler.

    Hit the spot on a cold Wednesday. The clam chowder was so tasty and the lobster melt was amazing! The service was so nice and this place is a fun place to eat at. shuck it oysters is one of the many restaurants in this establishment. Lots of alcohol choices and lots of oysters! Nice hidden gem in downtown Martinez.

    Outdoor bar!
    Jenna T.

    The only place that is open the latest in the market. Also, now that they have an outdoor bar, you can order and they will bring your order out to you which is convenient. The oysters were okay, definitely some were fishy and had parts of shell, but overall not too bad. We shared half order of crab fries which is good warm but it was overloaded with mayo and other sauces that you kind of get over after a few bites. The owner is a lovely woman and such a boss as she owns most of the businesses in the area. It's a tight space so the bar seating is very limited and always packed. But they opened the outdoor with a bunch of tables and there is an upstairs indoor with plenty of seating. 3 stars because the seafood wasn't horrible, but it also wasn't the freshest. Not sure if this would be the first place I order from with other places around the area.

    Crab melt
    Frederick H.

    Fresh tasting seafood among party vibes and friendly staff. Visited the Market & Main "food court" due to a friend's birthday party at Bentley's bar upstairs for their R&B brunch. The ordering process is somewhat confusing since the menu doesn't tell you that the different sections are actually different restaurants. Fortunately the servers from those restaurants make their way through the bar, but it was hard to catch them given the busyness. I ended up having to go down to the restaurant counter to order, which worked out since the bar is extremely loud. I had the crab melt, which was generously layered with crab and flavorful. I wished the bread was toasted a little more, but that's just personal preference. The side of seasoned chips tasted homemade and complemented the savory sandwich well. Highly recommended!

    Found this place on Yelp. Dope little shares restaurants space. Dj helped us out cool dude good vibe. We had fresh Washington oyster , Michelada with oyster with ceviche on top amazing but the star of the show was the seafood nacho well done. I would drive all the way out here just for that. Best of luck and we will be back.

    Lobster roll

    Had a great experience at this oyster bar! I ordered a lobster roll, trio burger, a dozen oysters, clam chowder, ceviche, and cocktail shrimp -- and everything was delicious. The flavors were fresh and the presentation was on point. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because a few of the oysters had shell in them, almost everyone. which took away from the otherwise amazing experience. Still, I'd definitely come back soon

    Close your eyes and imagine a place to indulge in good food, crafted cocktails, live music, and fantastic ambiance. You can stop imagining now because a place like that exists in Martinez. This market. My partner and I decided to visit this market for date night. The market offers different food options, two fully stocked bars, fresh oysters, and an upstairs lounge to dance it off. The service was top-tier and beyond amazing. I really enjoyed how laid back and social the servers were and how well they were able to adapt to any customer's communication style. I would most definitely make this a routine visit for any occasion.

    Lobster melt with bacon added, and chips.

    My lobster milk was pretty good. Clam chowder was tasty and the oysters were OK. Overall, this place was a nice vibe.

Not a lot of restaurants offer beef wellington on their menu, so that was definitely a huge reason why I wanted to try Baxters out, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked filet mignon at medium rare wrapped in flaky puff pastry and luscious duxelles. While I felt the quantity of roasted veggies and mashed potatoes on the side were not enough to balance out the dish. I also tried the skillet corn bread and the gnocchi with salmon. The pasta dish surprisingly had a generous quantity of salmon throughout the dish and the gnocchi were soft and fluffy.

Starting with the Mt. Beautiful Estate Sauvignon Blanc, found this good. It's good, but not great. It's a decent wine but I think there are other more interesting Australian wines out there. The Rabble Rosé from Paso Robles was crisp with just an edge of tart. Like roasted strawberries, if that makes sense. And the Seaglass Riesling from the central coast is now a fave. It's a sweeter wine and a good end to a tasting, for sure. Glad I explored that one. It far exceeded my expectations. The vibe is good. The team is wonderful, caring and attentive, even if their internet went down and they weren't able to process cards quickly. They kept their frustrations focused on the tech and their attention on their customers. And the people who come in - there for a good time. This was our first experience here. We'll be back, for sure!

I was not allowed with my 5 month old baby to have a glass of wine in the patio. I was told there's a "no under 21" rule that apparently includes babies. That honestly didn't make sense to me. this is an infant, not even eating solid food yet. I've been to wineries in Napa with my baby and never had an issue, so this felt unwelcoming. This felt like a made up rule to protect non-mother customers, and Benicia is known for that. Horrible. What made it worse was how it was handled. The waitress(blonde, short hair mid-aged lady) came off rude and said, "no under 21, sorry--unless it's a dog haha," and then told me I could go to the taphouse on the corner. It felt dismissive and unprofessional. I even tried calling afterward to speak with a manager, but no one answered. Overall, it left a really bad impression, and I don't feel comfortable coming back after this.
