What I remember is that the grilled cod fillet was really delicious! It felt like I was being served a fresh side dish, similar to how Koreans would serve sukidashi. Since we weren't interested in crab or oysters, the variety of the menu was a bit disappointing, and overall it felt like a side dish to drinks. Still, the quality of the food is high... take note!

The service I received was seriously awful. The server was lacking of service mind. Extremely rude and attitude. Look down customer. I asked questions about the menu but the server denied to explain me!?

Besides that, the oysters are delicious
Gooey duck is amazing.
Caramelize Black cod is exceptional.
Come on happy hour, you will get a good quality oysters.

Don’t let one bad apples spoil the bunch. Don’t let one bad server stop you from great flavorful foods.

Came in to try your oysters at Pioneer Hill location. Our server brought out the oysters laid them out on the table. My older father asked if she could bring some Tabasco before he could finish his request the server stopped him and in the most rude tone told him to wait for her to present the oysters. We were all taken aback at the table. Truly the food is amazing. Not sure if the service we received tonight would speak for the food. Super uncomfortable to be served the rest of the the evening.

Can’t beat the food and the view. Fantastic oysters.

4 stars instead of 5 due to ADA accessibility. I walk with a cane and their bar stools are difficult. Was there on Sunday with my mom and asked to have a picnic table that was lower to the ground. There was one available. Host said we had to have a larger party to have a picnic table outside, and my options were the bar stools outside or a table inside. It was a beautiful day (we would have been the only ones inside). I took a second stool and propped my leg up but it made me more reliant on my mom to get refills. Would have been very easy to provide an ADA accommodation.

Love this location, great vibe. Discovered that they have a great list of wines by the glass to go with oysters. Almost everything is gluten free here naturally. Definitely try the smoked oyster dip paired with the pickled vegetables.

We tried the shuckers dozen (6 types, 2 of each), geoduck sashimi and clams. I’m not an oyster lover but have to say it’s fresh, juicy and tasty.
Baguette is good.

Family stopped here to try oysters. Was very disappointed in the staff. We left after about 15 min after a rude remark about putting salt on our oysters. Didn’t feel welcome and honestly felt discriminated

So good! Tried geoduck. Has mussels and clams and didn't even get me started on the oysters. Much different flavor profile than Gulf Coast. But very good!!

The mayo dipping sauce in crab shell for whole crab is amazing! Caramelized cod and geoduck are surprisingly tasty!
