Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar

Great Experience!My partner and I, being from out of town, were touring Pike Place Market with some of our friends who are locals. They insisted that we had to stop here for oysters, and we just barely made it in 5 minutes before closing. The staff was so gracious as to seat us, welcome us in, and not rush us in the slightest. We ordered a half dozen oysters to which we received 3 kinds of oysters, 2 of each. They were delicious. Fresh. Full of Flavor. I recall that one of the types of oysters was East Coast Oyster, but happen to forget the other 2 kinds. Our server was super friendly and took good care of us despite our last minute appearance. And the restaurant itself has a homey and welcoming vibe. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

We love hole in the wall places. This restaurant reminds me of Swan Oyster depot in San Francisco, so we have to try it. Oyster on the half shell is the main star here & rightly so. It's no frill... but great value.We also had the seattle style gumbo soup (lots of seafood but a bit under flavored) & fish & chip (interesting cornmeal crust).Service is great... a very boho looking but super sweet waiter looking after everyone.

Looking for oysters at the market and this place was recommended by a local. Great service. Very friendly. The oysters were delicious. My friend enjoyed the clam chowder (and he's. A chef) and my other friend had the salmon soup. We all very much enjoyed the meal and the prices were reasonable.

I was apprehensive at first due to the lower reviews but chalked it up to tired staff or pushy tourists. My experience was great. I walked in around 315, place was pretty empty except for outside where every table was taken. We were seated inside in one of their little booths. It's an older place, so just know that the booths are small but accommodating. I reviewed the menu and promptly ordered my beer and a dozen raw oysters. The beer was out in about five minutes, and the oysters were about 10 minutes behind the beer. The oysters were good. The restaurant gives you three different kinds. I liked the mid at the best but the other two were still really good. I highly recommend Emmitt's.

3.5 Food was decent but more expensive than indicated by Google and Yelp. For example, half a dozen oysters is not $12 but $19.95! Cocktail sauce was old and congealed. The oysters were good though. 3 different kinds. No other choices of sauce than that. Blackened salmon with Cesar salad and small garlic bread was good for $21.00.

The kitsch is kinda the appeal of this spot. It's nestled in a corner of Pike Place Market. We probably should've been clued in when we were basically the only customers in here. Loved the dive-y ambiance. The staff were very pleasant. The food was a-ok. There's much better spots for seafood. But this place will get it done. Again, the ambiance is the draw here.

Had lunch on cold misty Sunday. The Northwest Seafood Gumbo was outstanding!!! Wonderful flavor and just what I needed on a chill, damp day. The owner, Bryan and server Jess, were the best. You can fe the passion they have for this place. small and kind of hidden but definitely worth seek out. The reviews prior to May 1 are based on the old owner so do like them deter you from coming out to try this hidden jewel.

Hidden gem. They are known for their oysters. I think they are hard to find...below the Post Alley (there are stairs) or you can enter from the shopping area by Starbucks. FANTASTIC oysters and steamed mussels (in garlic broth). They have the HOT horseradish, which I appreciate. The mussels come with two slides of their delicious bread to dip in the broth.There are tables, booths, and seating in the bar area. On "nice" days, they also offer outdoor seating.They offer five beers on tap and 7 beers in bottle. A few wines available.

Nice spot for a quiet lunch. Outdoor patio was shaded and waiter, David was excellent. He was upbeat and attentive.Had tasty clam chowder soup.

Had lunch here and loved the outdoor seating and old time feel of this restaurant. The new owner has only been here since May 1. They are still shaking out the small issues involved in opening a restaurant. If they are slow it's because the staff are in training and it's new to everyone! It's well worth it as Brian and his employees are dedicated to making this business a great experience for all. My husband ordered the oysters and he loved them. I ordered clam strips with shrimp and oysters. We both had clam chowder. Everything was delicious. Give this restaurant a try-you'll enjoy it. I eat out often and I didn't think it was expensive at all.
