Oyster Cellar - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was a slice of heaven. I had some of the best oysters I’ve ever tasted. The cozy vibe and great seafood made for a truly memorable meal.

I went for the oyster happy hour, and according to the website, it was supposed to be 1 dozen for $24. However, this was not the case. The actual price was 1 dozen for $36. It's disappointing to see that this issue has been noted by another reviewer and still hasn't been corrected.

I finally got to check out this spot for happy hour and had a great experience. The prices on oysters were extremely reasonable, and I loved their fresh daiquiri of the day. The old building adds a very cool atmosphere to the overall experience.

I had a lunch date here with my partner. The bread with the honey whipped butter was delicious, and I also loved the halibut dip. However, the couch we sat on could have used some cleaning; it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a while with crumbs everywhere.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to false advertising. Their own website stated happy hour was $24 for a dozen oysters, but upon arrival, we discovered it was actually $36. They also did not answer the phone, so we couldn't verify the pricing beforehand. I would avoid this place.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The happy hour prices for oysters have significantly increased from $24/dozen to $36/dozen. It's important to note that most menus on Google do not reflect this change. While the food was good, I didn't feel very welcome during my visit.

We visited during happy hour and chose to sit in the indoor dining area, not at the bar, which seemed to impact our service. It took a while for a server to take our order. However, when a co-worker and then our server attended to us, they were both friendly and helpful. We ordered the oysters, which were honestly the WORST oysters I've ever had; I could only manage two. My husband felt the same way. The seafood cocktail followed, which wasn't what I expected but was better, though it had too much aioli. We weren't asked about our satisfaction with the dishes. When we accidentally spilled some sauce, we cleaned it ourselves, and despite staff seeing it, no one came to assist. The booth was dirty when we sat down, which unfortunately didn't surprise me given the other issues. We then asked for the check and left to find a better restaurant. I'm sharing this experience to help others avoid a similar bad experience.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the atmosphere was cool and the bar was beautiful, suggesting lots of potential, the food and service were disappointing. The oysters were not well shucked, with many shell pieces making them difficult to eat. The servers appeared bored and were audibly making fun of customers, which is unacceptable. Despite the nice ambiance, the poor food preparation and unprofessional service detracted significantly from the overall experience.

We visited during a game day, which likely impacted the service we received. With only two servers/bartenders and one person handling food orders, the wait times were extended. We arrived around 5: 30 PM and were seated at the bar. It took about 10 minutes before we could place our drink orders, which arrived relatively quickly. However, our food didn't arrive for about an hour. The restaurant became busy around the time of our arrival. The oysters, salmon tartare, and focaccia were good. I would recommend skipping the tuna salad, and the burrata was more like mozzarella by the time it was served. I believe a return visit during a less busy time would be better, as they seemed backed up due to a Mariners game and patrons heading to a Seahawks game.

My experience at the restaurant was centered around a great happy hour with excellent service. The food, particularly the Happy Hour Oysters Dozen, was rated a 5 out of 5. However, the atmosphere was not very kid-friendly, which was a drawback for parents wanting to enjoy oysters.
