Fantastic all around. Food is amazing, the ambience is perfect especially in summer when you can sit outside and enjoy the sun on the water. I think they played an entire Odessa album and it fit the environment perfectly. It’s a pricey place but you truly get what you pay for.

Oysters and wine and weather! This is the perfect place for a Seattle summer day. The main dish was a little too salty, but overall the food was good and uncomplicated!

Choices are limited. The price is high, and 22% service charges make it more expensive.

This place has lost its charm. The view to the water is great, but that's about all I can say. The creativity of the menu offerings is gone and the price is way up. Went there for a family of 4 brunch, everyone had a simple dish, i.e. burger, quiche, nachos, we had 6 oysters and 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 2 colas and it came to $260 for lunch! Manditory 22% tip is added to all meals now. Way overpriced for what you get. The music was terrible and way too loud for the dead vibe that was on the patio. I don't have any reason to come back.

It was great. I took my 2 year old toddler with my wife. They were super accommodating with my toddler’s dairy allergy. The potato’s were her favorite. However, no high chair but they do have benches that are semi-accommodating

Disappointed. Only available reservation was for 9 pm. Tried to call restaurant to see if we could get seated earlier. They did not answer the phone. When we arrived the place was empty. Only two of the six listed draft beers were available. Food was overpriced and selection was limited. Plus, automatic 22% service charge was added even for small parties. So server was not very attentive or helpful.

We had a lovely table right by the water. Everything was perfect- the service, oysters, salad and halibut. Very romantic way to spend our wedding anniversary
