    The waiter was very unfriendly and almost hostile. Food was very pricey and not worth the expense.

    This is such a wonderful experience for our family! The atmosphere and ambience were beautiful. The food was super tasty and I love that the staff was so attentive, kind answered all my kids questions and really made us feel like we were in a welcoming environment. We will definitely return to this restaurant next time we are in Seattle!

    We've been going to Shucker's now for many years - it is definitely one of Seattle's finest seafood restaurants. We enjoy the old-school setting, and the super fresh seafood that is always prepared just perfectly. Don't let the online menu fool you - there is always a "fresh sheet" on the wall, which features various "catch of the day" options that are simply grilled and served with vegetables. They have a nice, approachable wine list, great cocktails and the appetizers can also be made into a meal. Great spot.
