Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar

Overall, good experience and I will come back again.Recommend to call in advance, particularly if coming before a concert at nearby Climate Pledge Arena.Sevice was friendly and fast. They found us a good table (a little to tight as others have said). Our waitress was the star of the night. Very knowledgeable about the types of oysters they had so we could pick the right ones. Their selectuin is vast and varies often. So we plan to visit again.Good cocktail offerings. Clam chowder was also good.4/5 as we had to cancel a second chowder and a drink as they did not bring it on time.Come check them out!

Pregame meal excellent place to go. Limited menu but food was good. Just didn't care for the 18% implied worker fee or tip added to the bill. Of course we ordered the "Shucks" dozen oysters - variety of fresh oysters. Yummy Geoduck chowder was flavorful, the Moquecca dish reminded me of an Indian curry flavor dish and the broiled oysters were really good as for the Caesar salad.

My Christmas Holiday season was celebrated by popping bottles of champagne, while enjoying the iconic local tide to table experience at Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bar in Seattle. We sipped Champagne & noshed on the Smoked Oyster Dip, Pickled Vegetables, Caesar Salad & the Shucker's Dozen. But my favorite was the House Broiled Oysters-4 large succulent briny Pacific Oysters with a pleasant vegetal flavor imparted by algae & a sweet finish, bathed in smoky chargrill butter, encrusted in toasted parmesan cheese and sprinkled with fresh scallions. The service was meh, but I was on such a Holiday high that all I wanted to do was put on an apron and help. The shareable menu, modern decor and Pacific Northwest inspired vibe make this an ideal Uptown neighborhood gathering spot. The perfect pairing...Champagne & Oysters.

Came here with a friend before a concert over at Climate Pledge. It was around 6pm and the place was pretty busy. We were seated at a long table in the back, sitting across from each other, with two more parties of two that came in shortly after us.We decided on the Salish Sampler and two Geoduck chowders.The sampler was good, but way over priced--at market value it was over $140. The star of the show was the smoked oysters. The aioli sauce was sweet. The slaw was heavy on ginger and could have been balanced more nicely with a good amount of cilantro added to it. The chowder was mediocre. I did not feel or see any clams, basically potato soup. They also use julienned carrots in the soup--which is not my preference, but okay. I do not like that they only have a digital menu that you have to pull up on your phone. I also loathe businesses that tack on an automatic service charge "to pay their employees fairly".While the ambiance was chill and the place had a little charm to it--I did feel it was a bit cramped. It was difficult to eat comfortably. Not enough space on the table, especially to be sharing with other parties. This seating area would best be used for those just getting a few drinks and sharing an appetizer. There was nowhere to hang your coat except for a coat rack in the corner with who knows how many coats already on it. Maybe invest in some table stool with back so folks can hang their coats there.I don't think that I would return to this business.

The perfect spot for a seafood lover -- stopped by this location right before the Kraken game for HH since it was walking distance from Climate Pledge, which ended up being a great decision. I've never been huge on oysters, but I loved the ones they have here -- very light, not too briny! The staff here is really chill, and the ambiance is nice for a little date night -- it's a small space, and not too loud. HH is well-priced and I really loved whatever lavender cider they have on tap at the moment. For food, I loved literally everything we had but some of my standouts include: Crab Mac: SO. GOOD. The mac was flavorful and had a solid amount of crab meat, as well as delicious breadcrumbs sprinkled on top. Broiled Oysters: for folks that are picky about raw oysters, these are the gateway. The broiled cheese is so good and I would happily come back to eat this and only this. Smoked Oyster Dip: a smoky, complex flavor which is SO. FIRE. I could've gone back and ordered another one of these.

Truly lived up to the hype!!! We loved happy hour @ Taylor with their wonderful crew and the great oysters. We ended up getting 24 oysters and probably could've eaten many more. The person shucking the oysters was highly efficient (3 seconds, we timed him lol) which was so fun to watch. The Bloody Mary was WONDERFUL with fresh horseradish and lots of snacks. Definitely a local spot worth the visit.

We got the Shuckers Dozen and the Smoked Oysters Dip. I loved everything! The dipped was so so yummy and the potato chips really complimented this dip. For the oysters, as an oyster lover, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to taste all of their different oysters. My favorite were the tiny little Olympia and Kumomato (i don't remember the name too well). They were so good that I had to order more of each but unfortunately they ran out of olympia already and it was only like 3pm :,) This location is super close to the Space Needle and one of the most beautiful walk we took the entire trip. It did not feel far whatsoever so I highly recommend trying! Or at least take a stroll because it was truly a beautiful!

Went for happy hour to order my favorite smoked oyster dip with chips, ended up trying new spring cocktails not on happy hour menu lol no regrets. Mary was right. The lavender cocktail was absolutely delicious and my favorite. It drinks very easy so don't say I didn't warn you lol. I asked to sit outside as I enjoy balmy weather and fresh air. Perfect afternoon snack/early dinner. Mary says I'm such a lamb

I've been to the restaurant, but not at this location. We had three different types of voice, and it was incredible. Mini Virginia is one of my new favorite ones. Because they are smaller than the normal Virginia, I needed to eat a little bit more because they are thin and delicate and so good. We tried to other things said they were delicious.The pickled vegetables are a bit spicy, which was so good but you are warned. Chowder was geo duck as it was delicious. Everything fared well with two different types of wine which I don't remember what we got, but it was something recommended by our winter

Came here on a Saturday lunch and it was fairly empty. We weren't helped right away which threw me off because there was maybe about 4 tables. The interior is clean and bright with wide windows everywhere. The places allows for a lot of natural lighting.We ordered:SHUCKERS DOZEN- SUNSEEKERS - PACIFIC PETITES- COCKTAIL VIRGINICA- SHIGOKU- KUMAMOTO- OLYMPIA- KUSSHI (added afterwards) All were delicious, clean, and fresh. It is pretty staple prices for oysters $4 each but, since we're only visiting, so we wanted to give this place a shot. We were a party of 2 and they already had a service charge of 18.9% which I though was odd. I don't think I would come back again as the service was alright and the staff wasn't really warm and I'm sure there are a lot of other places that have oysters that don't have an automatic service charge.
