    The atmospher was lively and a bit noisy (as it should be). Server was excellent and very helpful. The food was very good! I would highly recommend Shuckers and look forward to returning someday!

    We had a special event: birthday dinner that also served as pre-concert meal. I indicated the same in my notes on the reservation and Shuckers put us in a great table near the window. A small gesture on their part made us feel very important.

    Halibut was excellent! Waiter recommended splitting clam chowder and he was right, otherwise we would have been too full to enjoy dinner. Sourdough bread was warm and excellent.

    Great service. Restaurant was very loud. Thank goodness we had a small party and we’re seated in an alcove so we could hear each other. Fish of fish and chips wasn’t oily but it was on the drier side. Onion rings were okay got soggy quickly. Drinks were very good.

    The halibut was so fresh and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Beautifully cooked and seasoned. I had the spinach salad as my side and it was the perfect pairing with flavorful ingredients. I chose to omit the blood oranges from the salad just because I don't care for this flavor. I'm sure for those who like blood oranges, they would be a lovely addition. Five stars!
