Seattle's Best Seafood 8/18/2010

This was my first visit to Shuckers, and to the Seattle area for that matter! I am from the east coast, so I am a very experienced seafood eater- and, let me tell you, this was a wonderful place for fresh seafood. I was very pleased not only with my meal but also with the service. My server was extremely knowledgeabe and friendly!- very attentive to all my questions and quirks. The atmosphere was comfortable, big banquets with wood carvings throughout the place. There was also a patio outside where the locals gathered to meet for an after work happy hour or for a leisurely dinner. A very pleasant dinner overall (they also have lunch), wonderful staff, and beautiful atmosphere- All in all, I wouldn't return to Seattle without coming here! more

What a dissapointment 8/14/2010

Where to begin..waited ten minutes for a childs menu..waited another ten minutes for a bar drink..almost finished the drink when we recieved our bread..ordered ten minutes later..waited another ten/fifteen minutes for a childrens chicken nuggett meal (McDonald's put them to shame .. cold fries and $ 7.50 later)..recieved my meal and the seafood chowder was RI style (not mentioned on the menu) looking forward to a cream based chowder so they substituted clam....another ten minutes. Salad cam with dressing on it when asked for it on the side and not to mention that it was scarce on the avacodo and cucumber and egg...Aaaagggghhhh...manager came over to smooze us and did not really seem to care. After asking and explaining why we were not happy the time it took to eat a bowl of chowder and worse than McDonald's meal (now running on 1 hour 15 minutes) he took off the salad and chowder..THANKS so much, really... more

Shucker's the best! 8/6/2010

The best seafood in town, the best service, and they love families. more

simply stated: great service, great food: best halibut and chips! 7/5/2008

We had walked by Shuckers a few times while staying at hotels nearby and never really considered it (maybe the name, and no enthusiasm for oysters?). July 4, our usual area targets were closed, so there we were. Never read a review, so no expectations. more

Oysters. Nuff said 11/24/2006

Their happy hour deal is a steal... great oysters and draft beers for a great price, and it's not busy at all! more

This is where you get your Oysters! 10/23/2006

Ok. So Shuckers in in a hotel. Its not standard hotel food. And besides,its not just a standard hotel. Its the Fairmont Olympic. I'll get to that later. Shuckers is where you go for Oysters. You want your Oysters to be prepared perfectly,right? It doesn't matter if you prefer Oysters in the Half Shell. Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters Casino or however you like. Shuckers is THE place to get your Oysters. In fact, I make a habit of enjoying Oysters Rockefeller at the bar. Its a classy place,but not snobby. Pros: great place to meet your friends or make friends Cons: they have to close sometimes more

Seafood as it Should Be 7/23/2006

Shucker's knows their oysters!! No less than 6 kinds of local oysters, plus 8 kinds of imported varieties. Absolutely fresh and full of flavor. Seafood chowders are great as well. Pros: Local and imported oysters, chowders Cons: pricey wine list more

Spendy, but worth it 8/11/2005

I had dinner here last night, and it was excellent. The fresh fish menu changes daily, but if you have the chance to order jumbo scallops, do it! At $26, it wasn't cheap, but the scallops were fat and juicy, and the portion consisted of at least 6 of them. Also, the macadamia nut crusted key lime pie was off the charts! This is definitely the restaurant to take your folks or relatives to when they're visiting from out of town--and picking up the bill. ;-) Pros: Personable waitstaff, Good-sized portions, Yummy key lime pie Cons: A little spendy, no free parking, really warm inside more

Worth the trek up town! 8/9/2005

Had a wonderful lunch at Shucker's with 3 business associates last week. They had the Clam Chowder and Ceasar Salads and I had the Green Goddess Salad with Shrimp, Dungeoness Crab and Avocado, which was a delicious meld of the above ingredients. I was in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary that wouldn't leave me feeling overstuffed. I was delighted with my choice! The waitstaff was attentive without being overbeing and the atmosphere at lunch was pleasant. Definitely a mix of business people, ""ladies who lunch"" and visitors from out of town. There were even several families with young, well behaved children there! I highly recommend Shucker's to anyone wanting great seafood and a classic Seattle restaurant atmosphere! more

Quintessential Standard 8/10/2004

I always enjoy Shuckers when I whenever I visit Seattle. A trip would not be complete otherwise. Dinning at the bar or a table is quite comfortable and elegant. Ambience,food and service are flawless. THIS IS the place to go for Oysters as well as Martinis! If you have not been to Shuckers,you'll be glad when you do. And you will return with pleasure. Pros: Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters Rockefeller more
