I celebrated my 65th birthday today with friends for lunch and loved everything about The Shuckery! Best oysters I've ever had and the fish tacos were amazing. We will be back soon!

I'm a regular at the Shuckery and every time is a delight. I love coming during their daily happy hour for $2 oysters and tinned fish. Wade is fantastic server and always gives us spot on recommendations and thoughtful service.
Always a favorite afternoon here.

Stopped by for the Happy Hour oyster deal from 3-6. Also had clam chowder and the bread basket with garlic dipping. Bread basket was particularly good. Great service, friendly. Liked the black lager beer as well, more body than expected for a lager.
Will def stop by here again when in Petaluma.

Excellent food and service for happy hour. Clam chowder flavor was great but could use more clams.
Doug
Setting is fine, though small. Service was fine. Salad and vegetables were good. Price is in line with similar restaurants. However - The fried oyster and the scallop dishes were so salty, we could not eat more than half. Mentioned it to the server, but were only offered to replace them with the same; we declined. It's not a place we will return to.
Bella
Great seafood, not too many options but whatever you pick will be yummy. Cauliflower wings were delicious

I couldn’t wait to enjoy a nice seafood linguine and the plate was pretty much and Alfredo sauce with seafood. On the menu the dish just mentioned some parmesan and not a ton of milk and cream. I mentioned my disappointment to the sever, but I had no respond from the chef.

My fiancé and I were staying at Hotel Petaluma next door and decided to check this place out. Sooo glad we came in! The drinks were top notch. We ordered the Thai Cocktail (my favorite) and the mezcal drink. They definitely know what they are doing here! Everything was super well-balanced and you can tell they put a lot of thought into crafting their cocktails. We also ordered The Plateau. If you’re on the fence about it- just get it!! It’s a great sampling of all the different seafood they have. It was all excellent! Wade was our server and was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Will definitely come back here again if we’re in the area :)

Absolute gem in Petaluma!! The food is outstanding!!! They don’t always have Cioppino - but when they do please run don’t walk to get a bowl! The seafood Plateau is delightful and full of yumminess ! And, we had two roasted oysters - miso and poblano are too die for. Poblano oysters - we’re off the charts delicious!!!
And clam chowder is so creamy and rich - perfect!
Lastly - try an oyster shooter - why not?

This is a Happy Hour to die for, especially if you need to eat gluten free, because all appetizers are gluten free! Don't miss the fried cauliflower, calamari, and delicious grilled bread. The oysters were super fresh! The large shrimp of the shrimp cocktail were overcooked, but otherwise, everything was amazing. The servers were attentive despite having a very full restaurant. Kudos!
Grabbed an early dinner here on our first day in Petaluma as we stayed in the hotel. Loved the counter table overlooking to the intersection of town. Service was alittle slow and wasn’t really attentive. My wife accidentally tipped over her wine glass and spilled some. We were right in front of the reception desk and no one even came around to wipe down the table for us.
Had to say the food was very excellent. Everything was well prepared and tasty.
What’s funny was we charged the tab to our room as it was easier for us to settle one bill upon checkout. 2 months later we were reached by the restaurant saying there was an accounting error and the tab never got charged to the room. I was pretty sure I filled in the correct room number on the tab. They had to sent us a form to fill in our credit card details. Mistakes happen so I guess it’s no big deal.

We enjoyed an great meal with an excellent server. We were delighted that the noise level was low, and we not impacted all with the open air kitchen. We will definitely pay a return visit to this restaurant.
Gail
Nice, casual. lively atmosphere at this small restaurant inside the hotel building. Great service and food. Went there with my husband, we preferred the high table in the middle of the room. The Ceasar salad and a raw oysters were delicious! The fried calamari was good but same as what we get at other restaurants. Good cocktails - perfectly balanced flavors.
Scott
The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service was even better. Our server, Wade is very attentive and everything was perfect.

Busy spot, expensive drinks. Glad we went, but likely won't go back. Definitely feels as if it's geared to a young crowd.
