I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks and it did not disappoint. Amazing views of Samish Bay, delicious and incredibly fresh food and the staff were very sweet. Can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely loved this place. The oysters were incredible, fresh, flavorful, and clearly top-tier. The food overall was amazing, and the staff were just as great: friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun. The atmosphere was spot-on, relaxed but lively, and we had a really good time from start to finish. If you’re anywhere in the area, this spot is a must-stop. Totally worth the trip and a great view on the water.

I have been a partner with Taylor for a few years through my restaurant. Their clams, mussels, oyster, and geoduck are the best I have ever tasted . Great service, as well. Highly recommended!!

Friendly staff, great views, excellent food. They will seat you when you order, you don't grab a table first. To order additional food you don't need to wait in line again, you can go to the front and stand to the side. On nice days it gets crowded fast and seating is limited. They do have a covered area for when the weather isn't good. It is on the water so it does get cold.
The oysters were fantastic and we also had the Chowder which was great.

I had an order for Christmas delayed by 4 days. Over half of the oysters were dead by the time I got them. I called and left a detailed message right away. I sent two separate emails about this issue. No one from your company responded.
I am frustrated because I've been a customer for years. This is the first time there has been an issue. What dissatisfied me wasn't really the delay or that most of they oysters were dead. (18 of 30 by the time they got to me), it was the fact your company didn't even bother to respond.
It makes it clear to me you are the wrong choice going forward.

100% must do. Excellent seafood and awesome experience - from the windy drive down to the to the rustic outdoor waterfront dining - dripping with authentic Pacific Northwest aura. Well worth the adventure. You wont be disappointed.

🦪♥️ I’ve only been to Taylor Shellfish in Capitol Hill before, so this is my first time here. Being right by the water gives it such a great vibe, I really loved it. As expected, Taylor Shellfish still has the best oysters😋(Ah, it was a bit disappointing that they only had corn chowder!🥹)
We have been to the market many times. We Love what we buy. Unfortunately we wanted to have a quiet lunch for the first time dinning in. The staff was rude, I asked for a menu I could look at she said take a picture of the sign. When asking questions the staff just gave me dirty looks, most of the time didn't even answer me. The oysters were good, except a lot of shell in each one. Ordered the corn chowder, very bland, they said it would have shrimp in it. It didn't. Disappointed. We had the pickled herring, had a lot of red Cabbage in it. It wasn't good. It was very cold in the restaurant also. Then we went to the market got the extra small shucked oysters and got home and they were like extra large. For being highly recommended. This was very disappointing $100, not worth it. The staff was the worst part. We felt like a huge Inconvenience to them. Fine we will spend our money elsewhere. Hopefully the managers, owners will do a better job training them.

We love Taylor Shellfish Farms! The oysters are phenomenal, and the rest of the menu never disappoints. They even offer great options for our friend with a shellfish allergy, which we really appreciate. However, during our last two visits, we had unpleasant experiences with the man in a kilt. The first time, I had a rough day and thought a visit to Taylor would lift my spirits, but I was greeted by someone who came across as abrasive and unhelpful when I asked questions about the wine and oysters. A few weeks later, my family went and unfortunately had a similar experience, one person even said, “I feel like I need to go hide in the car until they figure out the seating for our group.” It’s disappointing because one person’s attitude can really change the tone of an otherwise great place. We still love the views, the cozy fire pits in winter, and the option to buy oysters wholesale. Overall, Taylor Shellfish Farms is a wonderful spot, but a bit more warmth and friendliness from certain staff would make it perfect.

This is a beautiful spot. Although the menu is seafood-focused, the few other dishes available are exceptional, as is the artisan bread. My only suggestion would be to offer olive oil as an alternative to butter. I would also like to thank Ally for her wonderful service and her friendly, welcoming smile, which brought a lot of genuine human warmth to the experience. Thank you.
