   An excellent dinner date spot. Our server Nate was very cordial, provided excellent recommendations, and checked in on us regularly. The food itself was well done with the pan seared cod being perfectly flakey with a great seared crust. The mussel gratin was also really good for it's price and paired well with Nate's wine recommendation. Dessert portions were quite generous so beware if the main course was very fulfilling to you! All in all a very worthwhile spot with well thought out dishes and pairings.

   We went to celebrate our anniversary! Adrienne was our server, she was amazing! We both received free glasses of champagne with dessert! So thoughtful! :) Besides the amazing service, the ambience was warm & inviting, the food was incredible with so much thought put into each dish! We loved the croquettes as an appetizer! We would recommend to any family/friend in the area :)

   Not only is the pricing exorbitant for the portion size and quality but they add a 5% charge to the bill to cover the cost of paying their servers a fair wage. 100% of which goes to the restaurant and 0% goes to the front of house. This restaurant is located in a hotel so it's not like they aren't making money hand over fist. Skip it.

   What a great meal! Every course was delightful. The variety of choices and flavor profiles made it hard to decide. The use of seasonal produce was great.

   Food is absolutely delicious!!! Cocktails as well. Place has a very nice ambiance. Only downside is they turn table, service is way too fast, you feel rushed.

   Our server Ben was phenomenal. His service and recommendations were spot. I highly recommend the chard octopus dish and the truffle fries. We started the meal with a tequila shot and shared several small plates and a bottle of wine. Decent draft beers and sufficient wine menu. We will be back.

    The wait staff was nice and helpful without being overly giddy/pushy which was ideal, the drinks were really good, very cute date night/occasion spot. The food is absolutely incredible, you can tell the dishes are well thought out with subtle hints of flavors showing up in different parts of the plate to pull the dish together and make it flavorful and cohesive in a very lovely way I think anyone would fall in love with. We had the scallops, clams and octopus, all of which I highly recommend, and the pumpkin pudding for dessert.

    We were warmly greeted by the host and seated immediately. The ambience is nouvelle cuisine - as was the menu. Seasonal, fresh ingredients. We shared a salad, which was plenty for two. I ordered the duck two ways. It was served rare. My gosh, it was delicious! My friend ordered the scallops on top of pork bellies. Both were beautifully plated. The waitress was professional and attentive. Overall, an excellent dinner!

    Our server BEN was really funny, attentive, and had great suggestions from the menu. The busser who cleared our table was really nice, and the food was good, the grilled octopus was tender, the wagyu smash burger was delicious it had such a delicate texture and taste and the pickles were a great contrast to the fatty meat. The fall salad with honeycrisp apples was excellent , a perfect fall salad, the pink peppercorn butter outshined the rolls themselves. The acorn squash risotto was mild in flavor but creamy and the prawns are a great addition. We got the chèvre cheesecake to go and it traveled well and was really light and fluffy.

    This restaurant came highly recommended. We made a reservation. The experience did not start too well. It took the host about 10 min to seat us with no explanation since they had tables available. Our waiter, Ben, was very good and patient with us. Our appetizers were good and came out quick. The wine was great. The entrees were amazing however the sides were very disappointing. Too salty and were not complementary to the proteins.

    We had our anniversary dinner here and it was amazing! Our server Ben was so attentive and kind. I got the duck and my husband got the scallops - both were incredible. They even brought us a free appetizer of risotto which was also delicious! For dessert we got the huckleberry whip which was so light and tasty - a great way to end the meal.

    The service (Brent) was great, but the food was bland. A touch of a sauce on the plates would have really made a huge difference in the food quality for both taste and presentation. We had the Halibut and Kohlrabi . The first drink I ordered, the Hawaiian Shirt, was also too strong and could have been better with a bit of a fruity splash to dampen down the rum.

    One of our top 3 favorite restaurants in 40+ years of dining out in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Portland, and Orange County, CA. The service by Ben was also fantastic. We will definitely return to Shaker and Spear with some friends next time we get to Seattle.
