    Shuckers never disappoints! The wait staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and the food is always first rate! Somehow I'd never had their steamed clams before, we tried them tonight, and they were among the best I've ever tasted! Also a great spot before the symphony, 3rd Ave. Theater, or Triple Door.

    Darla is the absolute best! She made our dining experience fabulous. The scallops and trout were both excellent as were the cocktails. We’ve dined here for years and it’s always good.

    We were here for the Price Fixe Christmas Eve dinner. Restaurant is very loud and it was hard to hear. It took almost an hour to get soup and salad, and things felt chaotic despite the preset menu. Plus there were adds on in addition to the $95/person plate. Left disappointed we spent so much on a holiday dinner.
