    Chili Spiced Popcorn Shrimp
    Diana C.

    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!

    Dessert menu

    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

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

    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.

    Me & Mama

    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.

    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.

    Cascadia and Sapphire Oysters
    Tanise L.

    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.

    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.

    The night before, I'd had oysters at an overly performative but insanely beautiful bar on 12th Ave…read more(iykyk) and they left a lot to be desired. So when I woke up still craving shellfish, RockCreek was the call. It was the right one. A dozen oysters to start: Kumamoto and Shigoku. Clean -- no grit, no sand. Whatever they're doing back there, it's working. The brine was full and present in every shell, and the mignonette hit that rare sweet spot of light but actually seasoned. The Winter Old Fashioned? Get it. It was so delicious. Then came the crab Benedict. The side salad alone was worth writing home about -- big, buttery, peppery leaves draped in one of those feather-light vinaigrettes that sounds simple until you try to replicate it at home and realize you can't. But the real star of the entire plate was the potatoes. Crispy outside, genuinely fluffy inside, seasoned with conviction. A masterpiece is not too strong a word. Closed with a glass of pink wine. Was eyeing the bottle with the piglet on the label, but it was bottle-only -- a distinction I find increasingly arbitrary as a former server and bartender. One day that policy will be a relic. Not yet, apparently. Best brunch I've had in Seattle in two years. Highly recommend.

    If there was a 4.5/5 stars, that's what I'd give RockCreek. My only knocks were that they changed…read moretheir happy hour which removed the mussels bruschetta and service seemed a bit slow. The servers were very nice, but it felt like we had to ask flag them down when there were only a few tables at the time. Now to the food, everything we ordered was from their new happy hour (at least new to me). The sandwich, fries, and oysters I would order again. The paella was good, but the rice could have had a bit more crisp for me. The calamari was just ok. I would rather try something else next time. Overall good restaurant with a solid happy hour!

This restaurant is fantastic with fresh oysters and delicious seafood dishes in a relaxed, casual setting. They also have amazing cocktails that they frequently play with. I highly recommend Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar for their oysters. Now, one can get oysters about anywhere in Seattle's seafood scene, but Taylor Shellfish embodies "from tide to table". You aren't going to find single-source many other places. I had a grand time here. We came during lunch when it was very busy, but by the time we left it had mostly emptied. When it is busy it can be quite noisy but I could still hear my friend. Our waiter was fabulous. Gave great recommendations, was enthused and passionate his cheery demeanor was contagious. I'd happily go back.

It wasn't too hard to get a weekday reservation for 4 and it's located right on the waterfront of Pike's Place, but it was pretty easy to find street parking nearby. Overall, the food was a little inconsistent in quality across the board, but the vibes are excellent for a nicer night out. Oysters (4/5): Super fresh and they have a rotating set of local options. We went with the waiter's recommendation, which were super sweet and a bit salty. One of my friend's had never had oysters before and they were pleasantly surprised by the way it wasn't too fishy! Clam Chowder (4.25/5): Clam chowder was actually probably one of the best bites of the night. Super creamy and luxurious with a good amount of clams. Shrimp Cocktail (2.5/5): Unfortunately, the shrimp were overcooked and too chewy. A real shame because the shrimp are huge! Surf N Turf (2.75/5): Mixed feelings on this one. The scallops were really small, but delicious, fresh, and sweet. The beef cut was some sort of awful hangar steak that didn't feel fresh. A bit small for a main and roasted potatoes were just okay. Lobster Roll (4/5): The bread was warm and nicely toasted with butter. I wish there was a bit more lobster to improve the ratio, but the quality of the lobster was nice! Atlantic Beach Pie (4/5): Very very tart, but I loved it especially with the fresh whipped cream. The saltine crust brought a good amount of salt as well.

Our incredible server Trey soon came over and helped us decide on some drinks, as we were debating between a few. The menu has so many options, it was hard to just choose one! We soon put our appetizer orders in, as well as our entrees. The calamari tasted fresh and crispy, what's not to like? The oysters I was recommended, tasted sooo fresh! The smoked salmon deviled egg was something I've never thought would work, but it tasted amazing. You can never go wrong with fish and chips, which tasted great! Our server was so sweet and was very attentive throughout the whole night. Dessert time came around and Trey recommended this Washington berry pie, we were sold! It came out deliciously warm with some ice cream on top, which was the cherry on top for our night!! Can't say enough great things about this restaurant, great staff, solid menu, we will definitely be back!!

    Have to admit at being disappointed in my latest experience at Dukes…read more It was about three weeks ago, the last Sunday in May. Went with my husband and met some family for lunch. We got there first, as the rest of the family went to the wrong location. So my husband and I were just there drinking water and waiting for them for a while. -I asked our waiter to please. "keep the water coming". Anyway, everyone finally arrived and we got things ordered. The food arrived in a timely way. Unfortunately, I have to report that their prices have gone quite high. I know most restaurants have had to raise their prices, but considering the food, both my husband, and myself felt that their prices were prohibitive, and with that in mind, we probably will not be back for quite a while. My hubbs had their lobster mac & cheese, which he gave a 7 out of 10. I had their lobster roll, which frankly, I could only give a 5 out of 10. It wasn't very flavorful, and definitely needed the dipping sauces that were served with it. Rather awkwardly put together as well, which made it kind of messy. Just kind of hard to eat. I did really enjoy their sweet potato fries though. Everyone else had various seafood dishes, which looked good, and one had a burger, which looked absolutely delicious. (I was kind of jealous once I saw it.) The service was good to begin with, but we had to flag down the waiter for water more than once. And towards the end of the meal, I was having some of that dipping sauce with the last of my sandwich; it was on the spicy side and I was out of water. Tried several times to get the waiter's attention, but it didn't work, and I had to literally yell at him to bring me some water. It was a little embarrassing, but I really needed it, & I was getting kind of mad! I mean, after all, I had made a point early on of asking him to refill the water. So that really kind of pissed me off. Because neither myself nor my husband had ordered any other beverage, & we really needed that water something fierce!! So obviously, I have mixed feelings on Dukes at this point. If money is no object, I'd say sure, go here and enjoy something tasty. But make sure you order some beverages so you don't have to count on the waiters for water!!!
