Stellar Bloody Mary and Fresh Seafood!
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! They now have a liquor license and offer a stellar Bloody Mary. I also enjoyed their snow crab leg and shrimp with fresh garlic.
The mix was perfect, with a cool, nice garlic effervescence. The Oyster Bar Special was also recommended.

Amazing Oysters and Po'Boys!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially considering the best price for oysters I've encountered. The '$2 all day' deal is unbeatable. Our server was incredibly friendly and engaging.
I highly recommend ordering the Po'Boys; my Louisiana girlfriend confirmed they are the best she's had outside of the South.

Disappointing Happy Hour and Food
I came in for the happy hour menu that was advertised on the website, but was disappointed to find out it wasn't available. The food was mediocre at best. I recommend updating the website so customers know what to expect.

Amazing Hidden Gem with Great Food and Service
My experience at this restaurant was amazing. My wife and I split the fish and chips, and it was truly wonderful. The service was also awesome.
They keep things simple and do it right. This place deserves your business for its great food, affordable prices, and great vibes. What more could you ask for?

Tasty Oysters and Friendly Service
My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I tried their half dozen oysters and a cup of clam chowder, both of which were very tasty. The staff were friendly and personable, and I enjoyed our time sitting outside.

Rude Waitress Ruined a Good Meal
I really enjoyed my first visit to this restaurant, so I decided to return for a second time. Unfortunately, my experience this time was marred by a waitress's rude and high-handed attitude. When I asked for soy sauce, she immediately stated they didn't have any.
Despite having received soy sauce on my previous visit, before I could explain, she aggressively cut me off and snapped, “No! We don’t have soy sauce! ” Thankfully, the friendly waitress from my first visit stepped in and helped me.
While the oysters were delicious and reasonably priced, the other waitress's behavior made me feel extremely uncomfortable. This experience ruined the last day of my Seattle trip, and I have no desire to return.

Best Seafood Ever, Highly Recommend!
Having grown up eating seafood in SC, I can confidently say this is some of the best seafood I've ever had. I highly recommend the fried oysters.

A Taste of the Northwest at Pike Place
A local recommended this place even though it’s at touristy Pike Place. The oysters on the half shell were fresh and delicious. The homemade clam chowder was flavorful but not salty or too potatoey.
The fried oyster po boy plate was perfection — fried panko-crusted oysters with vinegary slaw served with house-made french fries. It’s a solid taste of the Northwest.

Delicious Oysters and Shrimp, Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite pleasant. We stumbled upon this hidden gem on a Wednesday, and it was moderately busy. The restaurant itself is small, contributing to a very low-key atmosphere.
The highlight of my visit was the food; the oysters were delicious and fresh, and the shrimp were equally good. Additionally, the service was very good.
