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. read more

Staying at the Fairmont Olympic, I had a chance to eat at one of their restaurants, Shuckers. Easy to find downtown and nearby parking, puts Shuckers in the center of Seattle. The ambiance was great and nostalgic. Service was excellent (Jelena) and very attentive. Our food was served fast and was tasty. We will be back again to try more of the extensive menu. read more

Made reservations for 8:45 pm but the entire place was filled and we had to sit at the bar, which is fine. The inside was pretty cozy and the staff was really friendly. Since we sat at the bar the bartender was also really chill! We ordered some oysters, drinks, crab cakes, and also clam chowder. I guess you can say I do enjoy having some oysters! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

I really want to like Shuckers. It has so much I genuinely like from the ambiance to the food selection. It has an upscale pub vibe, a little moody, darker wood tones, warm lighting that made it feel intimate. An intimacy immediately shattered with how amazingly loud the restaurant became. I sat on an uncomfortable bench seat at the end of the table unable to hear every other word from the person sitting two seats down. The people seated beyond that were impossible to hear. It was a miserable atmosphere for a group dinner. I ordered the Caesar salad with shrimp and was surprised for $27 how small the salad was. More confusedly I stared at my co-worker's Shucker's salad with chicken and it was noticeably larger in portion size for a similar price point. It also was a very basic Caesar salad. I've been to restaurants where the Caesar salad was bright and peppery while this reminded me more of a side salad - minimum effort. Not that I object but I won't repeat for $27. The winner of the table was my co-worker's choice of lobster campanella, which several people snuck bites from. I did not, but noted everyone gushed on the campanella over everything else which included the fish and chips, risotto, and the steak. Better luck next time for me. read more

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. read more

Great service from Darla! Delicious oysters for Happy Hour(4:30-5:30), $2 per oyster. Perfect location for us as our hotel was right across the street. We also had the clams and salmon crudo which were very good too! Will go back when we return to Seattle. read more

What a great spot. Not cheap, but portion sizes excel. Quality of food excellent! Really fun, iconic spot that's been open for 60 years. Can't beat that! Staff super focused and amazing. read more

Out first visit was excellent. We had our food nicely packaged with silverware, cloth napkins, and gluten free modifications. Our meal felt special. This second visit was a flop. For an 18% surcharge, for takeout--because I'm a hotel guest, I'd assume I'd at least get a cloth napkin and silverware, not some flimsy plastic utensils. The meal was lackluster. This was my first time not enjoying cioppino. I asked for gluten free bread with my cioppino. The man taking my order nodded yes, but then forgot to add it to the bag. At $49, I'd really like my bread included. My husband's lobster mac lacked flavor and cheesiness. Though, my son's grilled cheese was a hit. read more

Shuckers is a beautiful, cozy, wood-panelled oyster bar in the Fairmont hotel. The ambience and aesthetic were wonderful. Service here is great. Our server was phenomenal and made sure we had everything we needed. The menu is limited for vegetarians. There is only one vegetarian option (mushroom risotto), which was sold out when I visited. Our server was able to work with the chef to throw together a pasta dish for me. It was nothing phenomenal, but I appreciated them trying to be accommodating. I do wish the menu had more vegetarian options. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I was hoping this place had more seafood options like crab. However, they did have all the oysters, clam chowder, pasta, and main options. I had the clam chowder. It had more potatoes than anything. The oysters were super fresh and tasty. Since our group of ten was at the Founder's Club, this place was incredibly convenient as it was connected to the Fairmont Hotel. I do want to recognize the staff that assisted with our group and ensured that we were seated together, even if we had to combine a square table and a round table. Service at this place was amazing and incredibly helpful. read more

I'll be back! The ambiance is cozy and upscale. The staff is welcoming and friendly, especially Brent! The drinks were on point - Brent even suggested an alternative gin for my French 75 and it was delish! The oysters were divine! We had cascading and sapphire - both with fresh. Adding this to my return list. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We came here for a special occasion and it was such a wonderful experience. The staff were welcoming and friendly and made us feel special. The specialty cocktails were delicious. We had the warm bread as an appetizer and it was a perfect start. The entrees were delicious. The vegetarian entree was surprisingly filling. Usually when a restaurant specializes in seafood or meat, the veggie options aren't great but theirs was fantastic. The space is intimate with some privacy for most tables. read more

Nice place to take family and coworkers! It was super easy to nab a reservation. I enjoyed that it was closer to our hotel and a little removed from the main, overcrowded tourist area. The vibe is classy and relaxed. Had some cocktails, oysters, drinks, and a pasta dish and absolutely everything hit their notes. Service is obliging. Solid, good choice. read more

This place is outstanding for service and seafood! Tired from all my walking around, I stumbled into the Fairmont Hotel. What a gem this restaurant is. Feels like CHEERS! Had a great gem salad with shrimps added on (suggested by my waiter). Then got to enjoy clam chowder and baked oysters (served 3 diff ways). Their sourdough bread and butter were stellar! I seriously enjoyed myself here - IMMENSELY! read more

Been coming here with a friend pretty regularly for about six months. We're so impressed. Really cool old-school vibe. Brent the startender is a real class act. I also think the crabcake may be the best in the city. read more

Shuckers was my favourite place out of all the meals I had on my recent Seattle trip. Everything was delicious. They have a rotating fresh sheet and scallops were recommended by the server that night and they did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked and seasoned and they were about 1.5in in diameter. The fish came with 4 and was just under $50. The mash potatoes were perfectly creamy and I dare say one of the best and most memorable dishes I have ever had. So for the staple, fresh oysters, they were fresh but sizes were small. At that price point, I wouldn't order them. Also the Manila clams were excellent but you can get something similar elsewhere. The prawn cocktail was amazing. The prawn looked like king prawn and very fresh tasting. The calamari was unique and not deep fried. The broth was a bit spicy and amazing. I chose to dip the bread in that over the broth that came with the clams. Another star of the night was the fish and chips. Probably one of the best I've had. The fish was crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside. The shoestring fries were so crispy. This is a pricey place but worth it for a memorable meal. read more

Baked oysters were delicious. Prices are high. Service was okay and the atmosphere was a bit old/historic.

Food was decent, clams didn't have that much of a garlic or wine taste, mostly tasted like soup. The chowder was pretty decent. The mac n cheese was alright, not worth the money. But the workers were very friendly from the start and the restaurant offers a cozy/ fancy setting. read more

We came here for Christmas Eve lunch and what a treat! First off, our server was incredible. Five star service from the moment we got seated through the end of our meal. We did the prefix menu and planned to share it with my 8yo knowing he wouldn't finish his own. The server ended up giving him complimentary child portions of everything aside from the entree. So kind! This review is long overdue and have forgotten the specifics of what we ate. Here's what I recall: Starters: clam chowder and wild rice salad. Both delicious. Clam chowder was the perfect consistency. Salad was unique and the right amount of savory and a tad earthy. Table bread was good (and warm) and I had to stop myself so I wouldn't get full from it. Entree: Prime rib. I asked for medium rare and it was cooked correctly. The sides (green beans and mashed potatoes) were cooked well and accompanied the prime rib. Basic sides that they didn't over complicate. Dessert: Crème brulee with a ginger snap cookie. So delicious! Server brought my mom complimentary cup of coffee. Check this place out. Love that it's upscale service and dining yet very humble and comfortable. read more

We came here on a Friday at 6:30pm and were seated immediately for a party of two. We made reservations online beforehand and I would recommend you do the same because it can get pretty busy during rush hour. This place has an old-school vibe to it with its decor. I ordered the salmon ($44) and we also got a dozen oysters ($44) to share. The oysters were good and I really liked the cocktail sauce but not all of them were the same size so some were way meatier than others. The salmon was good and I liked the skin. I liked the mashed potatoes but the green beans were just okay. The portions were pretty small and it was only a small piece of salmon and wasn't super filling. For drinks I ordered the black manhattan ($17) which was very strong and good. The server asked if we wanted bread and we said yes. We assumed it was complimentary but we found out when we got the check that it was $5 per person ($10 total for one small loaf of bread). I was not a fan of the shadiness of them adding that to our bill without telling us, and if we had known it was not free we probably wouldn't have gotten it. Overall I was expecting great food with the higher prices but it was closer to average. On top of that the bread situation felt very slimy and left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

What a tranquil and elegant restaurant with perfect ambiance. The restaurant is over 50 years old and the space is 100 years old, originally a men's clothing store. We wanted fresh seafood and were not disappointed. The halibut was delicious with an option for asparagus salad. Some of the tastiest sourdough boule I have ever had. Best of all was the service. The hostess welcomed us even though their system was down and Chris our waiter was charming, attentive and made for a perfect evening. So glad we stopped in. read more

Everything was going smoothly and we were thoroughly enjoying our meal together until my partner suddenly became nauseated after eating the prime rib. We had been looking forward to dinner savoring the thought of the perfectly cooked meat, the rich flavors, and the delightful ambiance of the restaurant. I decided to have a small bite of the prime rib myself, relishing its succulent taste and tender texture. Surprisingly, I didn't feel any discomfort or sickness afterward, which only added to my concern for my partner. It was a stark contrast to the joy we had been experiencing just moments before, and I couldn't help but worry about what might have caused their sudden bout of nausea. More to follow... Update: We both got sick read more
