    This was our first time in to Shuckers Oyster bar and we were celebrating a birthday and it did not disappoint!! The waiter we had has a calm welcoming presence that made us feel right at home. He was attentive the entire night and made for a great experience.We had a table right in the front window a great place to watch people and the city go by as you enjoy your night. Everything is extremely fresh! The raw oysters were extremely fresh being from the local area and each variety had a unique flavor and they did a good job explaining what we were getting. The clams were light and fresh making for a great appetizer. The halibut was cooked amazingly was the best piece of fish I've had in a long long time! If you are a seafood and fish lover this is a must when in Seattle, also the cocktails were the perfect pairing.

    Really good food! Everything was delicious. The service was really great too. Our server was a lovely woman and very attentive and bubbly. The ambiance feels fancy and classic. This is located on the lower level of the Fairmont so it's on brand. Would definitely come back!

    A very classy restaurant with small outdoor seating area , and it located inside the fairmont olympic hotel. And this is my second visit , and would like to explore more food here. Came in on time for 5:30 pm reservation, greeted and lead to the seat. Inside it is really dimming light, old fashion restaurant set up. Service wise, no complaints, especially like the oyster recommendation the waiter provided. Totally 5 star towards the three flavors baked oysters, fresh, juicy and flavorful -- 5 star on it. The clam chowder is ok, the soup and ingredients separated after 10 mins consumption. Good with in house bread, ordered half ( $3 bucks) . 2-3 stars. The Apple crumble dessert , loaded with sugar and at a level that dessert cravings put off sadly, and I have to continue to drink water to take a small bite. Not recommended! So overall, the food i ordered for this trip only got 3 stars.

    Visited in 2010 and looked forward to coming back again one day. Today's the day! We went for happy hour. Oysters were $2 each, ordered 38! Also had the Dungeness crab cakes with a couple of Forbidden Love cocktails. Oysters were so good, we just kept ordering them. The Dungeness crab cakes were probably the most delicious crab cakes we have ever had. The Forbidden Love was a refreshing drink. Loved the balance of flavors. Service was excellent. Rishi was personable and very helpful. The space has the wonderful old wood walls, carvings and nooks from the haberdashery from the 1930...so cool. This place deserves a better rating than 4.1. Until we visit Seattle again...good eats to everyone

    Shrimp Caesar salad
    Kristana K.

    A colleague and I enjoyed this place, reminiscent of a classic old school looking restaurant that you might see in DC or NYC. We started with the fresh local oysters on the half shell. One kind was so buttery and especially good! We both had the classic Caesar, one with shrimp, one with chicken. They were excellent and had the perfect amount of dressing a crunch, homemade croutons. My shrimp were a wee tad overdone, but barely. Good martinis per my friend. I wish there had been more wine options, but I had a nice Syrah. Service was friendly and personable. They checked on us regularly. My friend couldn't seem to get ice until maybe the 3rd go around, but did get it and my special request for no ice in my water was accomodated. Good experience, cozy and quiet enough to hear each other! The bar is nice looking also. Would return.

    During our conference weekend in Seattle, a group of us decided to grab dinner at Shuckers Oyster Bar--and let me just say, it was one of the highlights of the trip. From start to finish, the experience was top-tier. We were lucky enough to be greeted by Mama, our hostess, who truly lives up to the name. Warm, funny, and in full command of the room, she made us feel like we were home--even with our large party. She told us she's only been there three years, but you'd SWEAR she runs the place. If you go, ask for her. Seriously. Darla, our server, was just as amazing--thoughtful with her recommendations, patient with our indecisiveness (ok... it was really just me), and attentive all night. We ordered a little bit of everything (because... why not?). Someone at the table had to get oysters--it's in the name, after all--and I even tried one for the first time. Shockingly not bad! Super fresh and briny in the best way. I went with the fish and chips and a side of coleslaw. The fish? Perfectly cooked and flaky. The fries? Meh, they were alright. But that didn't even matter because the vibe, the food, and the company were all hitting. 10/10 would recommend. If you find yourself at Shuckers, do me a favor--say hi to Mama and show her this review. Ask her if she remembers the big group of educators who left full and happy. I bet she will. She's unforgettable--and so was our night.

    Food is a bit overpriced but service is good. We really like the complimentary bread.

    Sourdough boule
    Jenn B.

    This oyster bar that's tucked away in the Fairmont Hotel is such a gem. We had a lovely meal after traveling to Seattle all day. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, the sourdough boule was a treat, the crab cakes were almost outshined by the Asian slaw that accompanied them & the finishing touch of the berry tart with sour cream onion was in perfect balance. The only issue I had was that the table next to ours refused to share their order of onion rings with us, the complete strangers next to them.

    Black and blue pie
    YaoEun L.

    Food- I ordered half dozen oysters and the steamed clams. Both were very delicious. The oysters were fresh and came out quick. The clams were a good combo of sweet clams in a perfectly salty broth with 3 pieces of grilled bread. Later in the evening, I got the black and blue pie with the sour cream ice cream. Honestly, I got it to try the ice cream and it didn't disappoint. It was tangy like frozen yogurt. Only pictures I remembered to take were the dessert. Service- The service was phenomenal the moment we walked in. Everyone was welcoming, kind, and attentive. They took the time to explain the menu, took the time to get to know us and crack jokes, and checked in on us. We ended up coming back to order dessert for takeout later on in the evening and they went over and beyond again.

    The Steamed Clams were flavorful

    Classy, beautiful old school bar and restaurant. We have been here several times before, but it's been awhile. Good to be back! We stopped in for their "Oyster Hour" Tuesday-Thursday. 4:30-5:30 and had a dozen oysters (just $2 each) - delicious; and the steamed clams with white wine, butter, capers, garlic, fennel and dill); wow; great flavor Tried the Pearl Diver cocktail; excellently prepared by the "newest" bartender, Brent - he's only been here 6 years! Had friendly banter with him. Will be back! I'm

    We had a small hiccup with our reservation being accidentally canceled, but the staff handled it quickly and easily accommodated our party of two. The oysters were fresh, local, and delicious -- and the wait staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the sourcing and preparation, which made the experience even better. I ordered the scallop special, which was cooked well and very enjoyable. We also tried the mushroom side, which featured a nice variety of different mushrooms, though I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, a great spot for fresh seafood with excellent service! Very convenient if you are staying at the Fairmont Hotel.

    5-stars! Truly exceptional food. Fantastic at their specialty: oysters. You MUST try the smoked oysters if they have them!!! They are soo tasty (of course, only if you like the Smokey flavor). They offer oysters several different ways: fresh, smoked, and baked (baked is done three different ways). I also enjoyed my black cod with the lemon sauce and couscous, and baked sourdough loaf. Mmmmmm good. The apple crumble was okay. The service was impeccable. I really appreciate the ambience and that they serve wine out of the bottle rather than only bringing you a pre-poured glass.

    King salmon
    Tom A.

    In Seattle to take an Alaskan cruise and Found this place close to our hotel. A beautifully decorated restaurant, it looks like it was once an old steakhouse. We arrived early and was given one of the best seats in the house by a window. I ordered a Manhattan and it was Very good. We started with appetizers, I had the crab gratin and my wife had a half dozen oysters. . The crab dish was absolutely perfect. Served with large crackers. The oysters were very good as well. I then had the special of the day, King Salmon. Cooked at a very high temp it was perfectly cooked, cooked have been seasoned a little more. My wife had the lasagna and said it was very good. I then had the black and cobbler for dessert that was very flavorful. Service was excellent. Excellent dinner.

From that first dish, we knew that this fresh, foraged menu was going to be something different. The rest of the night was one knockout showcase of seasonal farm to table masterpieces to the next. The entire presentation was delivered by attentive wait staff putting on what felt more like a well-rehearsed play with each act starting with a wickedly creative, hand-crafted drink pairing (non alcoholic for us, but you can get wine, cider, or a cocktail) before each course. The whole vibe isn't pretentious or bourgeois; it's grateful. Everyone there including the chefs know there isn't anything like this in the city, much less the state. It was one of the more pleasant restaurant guest audiences I've ever been around too. It felt like all the nice people in the city decided to meet, so this 5-star review is for our fellow diners too. The only thing missing was a moment for the chefs to take a bow at the end, but instead they sneaked out the door, off to wherever superfoodie heroes go after a night of saving palates. #salute.

I was 100% sure that I would look like an idiot trying to recreate a delicacy that is made with such grace. Tracy made it easy and fun for us to enjoy ourselves while making some outstanding sushi. Everything is set up to be foolproof (for the most part, I still found a way to mess a few things up), so you don't have to worry about it. You'll be interacting with others who are making things for the first time, and are just looking for a different type of date night. Tracy was also teaching us methodology and science behind why sushi is made a certain way in Japanese culture, even going as deep as helping us prepare rice to a certain temperature before using it. And it's good that they make the process simple here, because you're making your own dinner at the end of the night. The sushi class is a fun one, because you eat as the night goes on. You start off by making a couple hand rolls, then some another sushi course (blanking on the name), and end up making a massive sushi cake as the final dish, something I have never even seen or heard of before. I love what the pantry is doing for the community by having these cooking classes, and I can't wait to get back in here to try some more.

Overall I prefer east coast oysters over west coast (I just prefer oysters on the salty side). They had 8 types of oysters (7 on the menu and 1 for happy hour) available the day we went, they ended up being $5.50 each for the regular ones and then $3.85 for the happy hour one. - Grilled Summer Beans - I would have preferred if the almonds were cut/grounded up more consistently. I felt like for the shape of the beans it was hard to get everything in the same bite. I would probably skip on this dish next time. - Halibut Crudo - It was good. I always like a crudo though. - Dungeness Crab Roll - We were curious to try it since dungeness crabs were native to Seattle. It was good, but I personally prefer a lobster roll over a crab roll. Restaurant doesn't do reservations, walk in only. We ended up getting there around 4:55PM ish on a Friday and was able to get a table right away, which was good since we wanted to do HH oysters. When looking at the menu online, I didn't realize that only one type of oyster was available for HH so a bit disappointed. First time having oysters in Seattle so not sure what the oyster rates are in Seattle but we felt $5.50 per oyster was definitely on the expensive compared to other restaurants in other cities.

Clearly she had somewhere else to be, and she said as much "I have to go". This is a fine dining establishment. That kind of attitude is not called for. When we asked her to split our check, she said she could not do that. And, there is some 5% garbage fee on there for "extra labor and supplies" not even the employee health insurance charge that some restaurants think is fair to pass on to customers. The food was pretty good though, hence the two stars. The seared goat cheese over peas was yummy and the gambas dish was like a mini paella. Agree that they need to offer more non-alcoholic drinks. They only had one mocktail and two sodas. Should add ice tea.

When we were seated, there were only about three other occupied tables, all with couples. Two of those tables were already being served their food. We placed our order, but our food didn't arrive for about an hour despite the restaurant appearing to be fully staffed. To make matters worse, multiple tables that were seated after us received their food before we did. The long wait might have been easier to overlook if the food had been worth it, but it wasn't. I ordered the seven-piece sushi assortment with a baked crab roll, and more than four pieces of the fish were still partially frozen. The fish did not taste fresh, which was especially disappointing after such a long wait. An hour to assemble seven pieces of sushi seemed excessive. Seeing that more than half of the fish was still partially frozen made the hour-long wait make a lot more sense. Maybe they were waiting for it to defrost before serving it. My sister ordered a baked crab roll and two pieces of seared snow crab. The seared snow crab was completely forgotten until I had already finished my meal. We had to remind the staff before they rushed to prepare it. The baked crab roll itself was decent, but the combination of the extremely slow service, disorganized order handling, partially frozen fish, and forgetting an entire dish until we asked about it means we won't be returning.

The salad is great with the ginger dressing and the miso soup was flavorful with tofu. The nigiri was fresh and flavorful.
