    Some of the dishes came out lukewarm. The flavors were not what you would expect for the price point.

    Went there at night (while it was sprinkling outside), and it has such great views of the city but they had most of the drapes pulled out which defeated the purpose of such a great night skyline view. The happy hour oysters were fantastic, the food overall was pretty good, service was hit or miss, I’d go back to give it another try.

    While the rain made for a very quiet and calm dining experience the food was still off the charts delicious. This restaurant was recommended to us by a Seattle local. The atmosphere is quaint and very PNW. The oysters were so fresh and tasty. The waiter helped curate the perfect oyster tasting flight. We also enjoyed the crab roll and cheeseburger. I can only imagine how much more perfect this place would be on a sunny day.

    Although the food was delicious and beautifully presented, note that the lunch menu is quite limited (only two or three main plate choices). The oyster selection (6 kinds) and quality was excellent. The male server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the oysters and menu. The other server who seated us was quite serious, terse, and prickly, but her colleague made up for it.

    Good, not great. Had paella and chicken. Fine. Potatoes were great. Service was good. Rather cold in the restaurant. Drinks were very good.

    It’s a premium price restaurant but ambience, location, service and food levels are also premium.

    Awesome experience! Celebrated a birthday as has been somewhat of a new tradition celebrating occasions at Sea Creatures restaurants. Excellent service and delicious food and the view was awesome.
