The food is phenomenal. I don't even like oysters and I love this place. Staff and service are like Trader Joe's employees x1000. I wish I had taken a photo of the dish ordered with fish; it was my favorite. Request the bread comes out with entrees so you can use the bread to sop up the sauce. Or order more bread. Also whatever they make for dessert, just get it. They. Know. Whats. Good. My only comment (and kind of warning) is there is absolutely no reason in the world why the scallop dish as an entree was so darn tiny. Don't get me wrong it tasted amazing but imagine taking a scallop and slicing it into 5 slivers and that is about the size of the dish. List it as an appetizer for better reference. I really can't complain though because each sliver tasted like what I imagine the fruit of the gods tastes like.

We went to the restaurant on Wednesday, and was the first customer there at 4pm. The place filled up quickly afterwards, but there were still a few tables open when we left around 5:30. The oysters were wonderful! The menu had 7 oysters sorted by braininess, which was really helpful. All the other plates we had were fantastic as well. Oh, don't miss the bread. They were probably the best bread in town!

Overall a great experience. Arrived at 6pm on a Friday and were told 45minute wait for 2 people. We waited next door at the Barnacle and the host came in to get us when our table was ready (they automatically transferred the tab which was very convenient). Comfy space, great customer service, and really enjoyed the food.

We came right before it was open and the line had already started. Please be aware the restaurant is located at the end/corner of the building. The line starts inside the building. The line moves fast. Seating options are indoor & outdoor; the space is small & tight between tables. It takes time for the food to come out especially for oyster. Their HH for oyster is a few dollars off on regular price. We ordered variety dishes and the portion is small. If you like seafood, I strongly recommend to check this out.

I lived in the area for 6 years and was never able to dine here. Came back on a business trip last week and got a seat…woah! Definitely worth the wait. We had fantastic cocktails, the sardines were phenomenal, and the oysters couldn’t be beat. This place is a Ballard staple.

Place was pretty busy when we got there. They got us on the waiting list that ended up being 45 minute wait. Luckily there is a brewery a couple blocks away so waiting over there was no problem. Once in, the space is beautiful staff is super nice and helped with deciding what to order. And then the food, everything fresh, focused on getting the flavor out of the shellfish wether having raw oysters or the clams with their sauce. Coctails were good too to top it off.

This was an amazing place to get oysters! They were so fresh. They clamoured from the sea and straight into my open gob. Our server was so friendly and cool, she felt like a bestie. 10/10 would visit again. Oh and expect a long wait, but totally worth it. Walk around Ballard while you wait!!

Delicious oysters from around WA! Even the briniest ones are near the sweetest if compared to east coast oysters! To get to this place, follow the hallway all the way until the end! Also arrive 10 minutes before opening time (for us it was 4pm) to be the first ones in line for a table! Oysters are honestly fairly pricey - running you $3-4/each even during happy hour but very high quality. Had a few new unique flavours! My favourites were baywater and summerstone!

I've been trying to get into this place forever and it finally worked out! They usually have an hour wait (no reservations), but 8:45 on a rainy week night was perfect timing. The food was incredible quality - local oysters, steak tartar, cheese, ect. It was sharing style, so bring a friend or two.

Gotta get there at like 3:40 to be in the first wave of customers when they open at 4pm. Came during the summer heatwave and they didn’t have AC so it was rather hot in there. I seldom get fried oysters but these were so good! Raw oysters were great too!
