    The BEST Staff! Felt like we were walking into our friends or families home for dinner. Warm, happy, inviting and very friendly! Jim, Richi ( best waiters) we loved it so much that we came back for a second night. Mama, she is the welcoming hostess and she’s an absolute love, she makes the experience even more welcoming! You will love the food! Caesar salad, yum! Fresh fish! The calamari was delicious, served in a broth with toasted bread to soak up all that goodness! Cheers!

    Shuckers is our go-to place for a pre-event meal. It never fails to deliver on food and service, despite the noise level.

    Food service and ambiance, as usual very good, prices are too high. As a consequence we go out less than once a month now. Also, rarely go into Seattle because of the minimum wage but still an expectation of a tip. When we come to Seattle, it is only out of necessity-someone staying in town who doesn't want to travel for dinner and so on. We have given up Symphony and Opera tickets so we no longer have to go to the westside.

    My friend had her engagement party here years ago and recommended we try Shuckers. So glad she did. We - two adults and two children - loved the food, service, and ambiance that we came back the next night with a dear friend. Two tips: make a reservation and save room for the delicious desserts!
