    From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we had a fab time. We shared some oysters and a salad. We both got the black cod for our main - one of us got the harrisa and pear puree accompaniments while the other got the mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. Service was outstanding. Would def go back!

    We were greeted very warmly and seated at a quiet table as requested. Jim was our server and he was excellent, both attentive and informative and we never felt rushed. As a result, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will always look forward to our meals at Shuckers!

    Shuckers is always our go to when visiting Seattle. Brent at the bar is so skilled and pleasant we try to arrive early to have time to spend with him before we take our table. Servers are well informed about the menu and reliable and considerate. Food amazing. Always a great experience.

    The BEST Staff! Felt like we were walking into our friends or families home for dinner. Warm, happy, inviting and very friendly! Jim, Richi ( best waiters) we loved it so much that we came back for a second night. Mama, she is the welcoming hostess and she’s an absolute love, she makes the experience even more welcoming! You will love the food! Caesar salad, yum! Fresh fish! The calamari was delicious, served in a broth with toasted bread to soak up all that goodness! Cheers!
