Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar offers a great seafood experience in the heart of Seattle. Their menu features fresh oysters, geoduck, and delicious chowder, all cooked to perfection. The restaurant has an upscale vibe despite being busy and tight. Friendly servers provide excellent service, offering helpful recommendations and even demonstrating how to extract crab meat. Reservations are recommended to avoid long wait times.
Customers praise the fresh, high-quality seafood, highlighting the mix oyster platter "Shuckers Dozen," which allows tasting a variety of oysters. The smoked oyster dip and geoduck sashimi are especially popular, described as yum and heaven respectively. The Fat Bastard oysters are firm, plump, and clean. Many enjoy the Mussels Classic Steamer with sourdough, and during Happy Hour, geoduck sashimi is available, making it a good deal. The best times to visit are around 1:30-3:30 pm to avoid peak hours.
Overall, the restaurant is known for serving fresh, high-quality seafood in a great atmosphere with friendly service. It is a favorite for oyster lovers and seafood enthusiasts visiting Seattle.
