Went for happy hour to order my favorite smoked oyster dip with chips, ended up trying new spring cocktails not on happy hour menu lol no regrets. Mary was right. The lavender cocktail was absolutely delicious and my favorite. It drinks very easy so don't say I didn't warn you lol. I asked to sit outside as I enjoy balmy weather and fresh air. Perfect afternoon snack/early dinner. Mary says I'm such a lamb

The clams and bread are the best. We show up just for that. There is lots of other great stuff on the menu but that’s our favorite. We have to pick a time when there is nothing going on at the arena or the Seattle Center, because you can’t actually get a table at that time. Parking on republican is usually available or the garage in the building is pretty good. This is right on a bus line as well. Best shellfish in Seattle.

I've been to the restaurant, but not at this location. We had three different types of voice, and it was incredible. Mini Virginia is one of my new favorite ones. Because they are smaller than the normal Virginia, I needed to eat a little bit more because they are thin and delicate and so good. We tried to other things said they were delicious. The pickled vegetables are a bit spicy, which was so good but you are warned. Chowder was geo duck as it was delicious. Everything fared well with two different types of wine which I don't remember what we got, but it was something recommended by our winter

Pregame meal excellent place to go. Limited menu but food was good. Just didn't care for the 18% implied worker fee or tip added to the bill. Of course we ordered the "Shucks" dozen oysters - variety of fresh oysters. Yummy Geoduck chowder was flavorful, the Moquecca dish reminded me of an Indian curry flavor dish and the broiled oysters were really good as for the Caesar salad.

Don't experience the Northwest without shucking down the best varieties of fresh oysters in the Northwest and other creative presentations of the Northwest bounty of amazing seafood. Taylors is a Northwest. and they will also package and ship so you can take the best of the Northwest home with you. if you're new to the bounty and diversity of seafood available here, all the employees are friendly and extremely knowledgeable... they'll make recommendations that will help you feel comfortable and get acquainted with the best fresh seafood in the world. There locations are casual and approchable, the Queen Anne location near the Northwest corner of Seattle Center is also a great place for a date or post event get together.

Got a table right away ... waited almost 20 min with not a single person stoping by to great use at all. We picked this place to eat before the kraken game and with a 18.9 % service charge added on to the bill seems like the staff didn't care to take care of guest who pay their bills. Never have I been ignored the way I was here. Shame this was going to be my first time here and now I'll never come back again if I could give zero stars I would

Came here on a Saturday lunch and it was fairly empty. We weren't helped right away which threw me off because there was maybe about 4 tables. The interior is clean and bright with wide windows everywhere. The places allows for a lot of natural lighting. We ordered: SHUCKERS DOZEN - SUNSEEKERS - PACIFIC PETITES - COCKTAIL VIRGINICA - SHIGOKU - KUMAMOTO - OLYMPIA - KUSSHI (added afterwards) All were delicious, clean, and fresh. It is pretty staple prices for oysters $4 each but, since we're only visiting, so we wanted to give this place a shot. We were a party of 2 and they already had a service charge of 18.9% which I though was odd. I don't think I would come back again as the service was alright and the staff wasn't really warm and I'm sure there are a lot of other places that have oysters that don't have an automatic service charge.

My Christmas Holiday season was celebrated by popping bottles of champagne, while enjoying the iconic local tide to table experience at Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar in Seattle. We sipped Champagne & noshed on the Smoked Oyster Dip, Pickled Vegetables, Caesar Salad & the Shucker's Dozen. But my favorite was the House Broiled Oysters-4 large succulent briny Pacific Oysters with a pleasant vegetal flavor imparted by algae & a sweet finish, bathed in smoky chargrill butter, encrusted in toasted parmesan cheese and sprinkled with fresh scallions. The service was meh, but I was on such a Holiday high that all I wanted to do was put on an apron and help. The shareable menu, modern decor and Pacific Northwest inspired vibe make this an ideal Uptown neighborhood gathering spot. The perfect pairing...Champagne & Oysters.

We haven't been to this branch for over 5 years. Came back and had almost the same thing we had last time. The food is still great. The service was good.It's a pricey place but the seafood is extremely good. We will return in the future.

I can't say enough about how great this place is! The service is amazing, the food is perfect. It's super popular, so be ready to have a quick wait. Honestly, the only problem with this place is the other customers being rude to wait staff and being inconsiderate of other guests around.

Generally good food and service, but value for money isn't there. Food is fresh and pretty good, but nothing that makes it exceptional. Also, both this restaurant and the Capitol Hill location are physically cold and a little spartan. The restaurant being cold doesn't compel me to want to eat cold crab. The sauce that comes in the crab shell is pretty good. The geoduck sashimi is pretty good.
