First of all, the oysters were outstanding! They have tanks here, so the person who takes your order picks your oysters. The oysters were uber fresh, briny and succulent. Secondarily, the salad was large and a nice palate cleanser w/ the lemon and fresh anchovies. The blonde waitress was really nice and brought me more anchovies. Next was the steamers (clams & mussels). Both shellfish were super fresh and cooked in a mild broth. The only thing missing was some frites. Lastly, the moqueca had a rich broth, and a little bit of rice to balance the broth. There was a ton of fresh seafood, and we dipped the sourdough baguette to mop up the broth. Regarding the ambiance, its open and casual. The tanks are in the center and you can see all the fresh seafood inc dungeness crabs. We interacted w/ three staff, and they were all super friendly & warm. We appreciated the great service, and were happy to pay the 18.9% service charge.

Altho they were fresh, the quality was nothing compared to Taylor Shellfish. For dinner, I had the King Ora salmon over a Walla Walla onion ring and a bed of corn. The fish was really moist, and the chef thought this dish out well. Major downside tho was the $61 price vs a small piece of fish. Others had steak frites, crab roll & fries and clam chowder. I had some of the crab roll & fries, and both were really good. The roll was packed w/ fresh crab, and the fries were cooked twice. Again the only downside was the $45 price. Regarding the ambiance, its nice in here. However, the "half shell" seats leave much to be desired. They are too tight for 4 people. I sat on the outside, and the person to my left kept hitting me w/ her knees: She is only 5 foot. It would be impossible for an average height person to sit next to me. Lauren R was a very good waitress. She was attentive, friendly and on top of things. On the other hand, the kitchen did not space our oysters well vs the mains. It took a long time to get our mains. Two other tables that ordered after us received their food before us (major pet peeve for me). 3.5 Stars overall. The food is pricey (nearly $100/each - one person had clam chowder and no one had alcohol), and the "half shell" seating doesn't work for me. However, the staff is friendly and the food tastes good. I'm on the fence if I would return.

Not a great restaurant - my burger was overcooked and burned (so the burned parts of the patty overpowered any other taste). My dad had the chowder and we both felt it was pretty watery... the number of clams you get in the steamers (like 10?) is laughable for $17. While most of the servers were nice (the girl in particular), one guy was very rude when we asked how seating worked (you wait for a table to open and take it yourself), he answered in a very annoyed manner. We get you might have to answer this question many times, but we honestly didn't know, and is that any way to behave?? And when the table did open, we waited a good 10 minutes for a server to clear the table, none arrived and had to go find someone ourselves. If you want to have a less than mediocre experience, eat here. EDIT: to respond to another yelper's post about spending the money for good food, "Yes! I agree!" But here, you are spending a lot of money for food that is pretty badly prepared (see my comment on my burnt burger and watery chowder). For the same price you can each much better, even within Pike's Market. read more

Stumbled on this joint after a fun day of walking around Pike Place Market. My husband and I were craving seafood for dinner so he ordered the fish tacos and I had the seafood market salad and we ordered the Dungeness crab cakes for appetizer. They are generous in their portions. Service was quick and the food was yummy! The 3 floors covers a lot of space. If you're looking for table service, hit up the 2nd floor. The place provides a really awesome view of the water too which was an extra perk. We really enjoyed our meal here that we went back for lunch the next day! The seafood market salad had smoked salmon, giant tiger prawns, fresh crab meat, and a lighter fare of mixed veggies - definitely a heart healthier option. Even though the fish & chips dish is their signature, we thought the fish tacos were over the top especially paired with the chili beans. The flavor was spicy and tasty with fresh toppings, making this our #1 pick off their menu. Yummy! read more

My experience couldn't have been better. I noted on my OpenTable reservation that it was a birthday & asked if there was a special table. We arrived & the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more welcoming. The table was amazing quiet, yet in the middle of the action & we were treated exceptionally well. We opened our menus & they said Happy Birthday inside; when dessert arrived there was a candle & Happy Birthday was written in chocolate on the plate I didn't mention the birthday in my confirmation call or when we arrived, this was all through my reservation note. The staff said Happy Birthday. Excellent food, beautiful restaurant, outstanding, knowledgable & attentive service. It was a very special night. Highly recommend. read more

I don't know how I feel about Lowell's. I want to give it 3.5 stars, but Yelp forces you to make decisions! *Shakes fist.* The food was fine, though it was $15 for alright fish n' chips. Over. Priced. But I get it! It's a tourist location where people will pay $15 for alright fish n' chips. The lady working the register gave us samples of both the salmon and clam chowders and they were both really good. The rest of the staff were just as nice and the food came out quickly, even though it was noon and the place was pretty busy. We sat on the 3rd floor and the view was beautiful. It was a good experience while we were touristing around The Market, but I think if I ever go back I'd get a bowl of the chowder instead of the fish. read more

Time and time again, Lowell's Restaurant delivers at every level. The food is inventive but not fastidiously so, the service impeccable, the room radiant, and nothing ever feels uptight or pretentious. This is a place that makes diners makes me feel good. I have had the pleasure of having dinner there and the food is spectacular the chef's reinterpretation of humble braised pig or lechon borders on the genial. Lunch is an absolute delight. A strawberry gazpacho was, quite simply the essence of a perfect fruit, and the perfectlysized coin of lardo the epitomy of earthy flavor. In sum, between its unique standard for hospitality and the brilliant cooking, E.M.P. is my favorite restaurant in a city with plenty of contenders. read more

I would put no stars if I could. These people are fucking racist! Don't eat here. I walked in and needed to sit my child down before I could focus and order from their menu. My family then wants to walk in and settle down before ordering. They won't let anyone sit until they take their order. Mind you the place is empty. Plenty of tables are open. The host is panicking for some reason. Overwhelmed by an 8 person Black and Brown family perhaps?!?! Seriously?!? Bunch of idiots. It was so stressful to have all these people not letting my family walk-in. We simply walked out. They lost major business. I don't recommend anyone supporting this place! Go elsewhere to eat there are plenty of options available to you. read more

Overall, my experience at this place was just okay. While the view was stunning, some of the hosts or servers seemed a bit unfriendly and even rude at times. I guess I should have expected that in such a touristy spot. However, I must admit, the view alone was worth the visit. As for the food, I'm not convinced it's the best seafood option in Pike Market. I ordered eggs with oysters and was disappointed--it was overly greasy and oily. Additionally, the breakfast seafood options were limited to just crab and some salmon, which didn't feel particularly special. Despite these shortcomings, the sight of Mount Rainier emerging from the clouds did manage to put a smile on my face. read more

As I passed to the area I saw this place where there's a lot of people lined in the counter. I got in and because of my curiosity I tried to order their salmon sandwich and lavender spritzer.

Came here our first day in Seattle while we were exploring the Pike's Place market. We just needed a quick lunch and that's what we got. There were some good views upstairs but this was just kind of "meh." I got the salmon Caesar salad and it was very basic. It didn't blow me away but was fine. My mom got the salmon with vegetables and rice but they were out of rice so they gave her double veggies. They weren't steamed well and were still pretty crunchy. The staff had no customer service and it was just pretty average and very expensive for what we got ($20 for the salad and $22 for the salmon entree). read more

This really wasn't a bad experience. It was OK. Just a bit touristy if you ask me. The food was good not great. So, in some respects I feel bad for just giving it a three star review. It just wasn't really over the top. I would come back. My advice to management though it to have your servers engage with your guests, make them feel unique and special. The food while good, needs to be taken up a notch. But, for those who feel that this review may have a negative undertone, it does not. I liked the place, would come back. It just has a way to go to get to a four or five star rating. read more

Beautiful View, Disappointing Food…read more This was my first time dining at Charlotte, and I really wanted to love it. The view is amazing, and it's a great spot for dinner with a larger group. One thing I especially appreciated was how comfortable the space was for conversation...we could actually hear each other! Unfortunately, the food fell short for me. We ordered several appetizers, and the pork belly was extremely salty. I ordered the ribeye, which was also far too salty. Thankfully, our server was very nice and accommodating and offered to let me order something else. I went with the halibut, and it was better. I'd definitely come back to Charlotte for drinks with friends and enjoy the beautiful setting, but based on this experience, I probably wouldn't return for dinner. At this price point, I expected a much higher quality of food. Great atmosphere and views, good service, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to the experience.

This has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in Seattle. We had the trap-raised ribeye and the halibut, and both dishes were absolutely exceptional. The service was phenomenal from start to finish, and the wine selection was excellent, with plenty of great options to pair with dinner. Charlotte consistently delivers an outstanding dining experience, and we definitely look forward to coming back on our next trip to Seattle.

After a long day out we were hungry for lunch and seeking a sit down restaurant. We came across…read morethis restaurant at the corner of Pike Place Market. When we arrived we looked them up on yelp and they got 4 stars so we proceeded. We got in line around 1:30pm, Sunday, September 20, 2026. There was one party in front of us and they were told 5-10 minutes so when we came up in line they said the same thing to us. They didn't ask for our name or get our phone number. They just said stand to the side and she'd call us up and gave us a menu to help us to plan what we . And that's exactly what happened. We stood with the other group next to the posted menu. As promised we waited not more then 10 minutes. When we asked we stated that we'd take the first table, inside or outside didn't matter to us. We sat inside and it was a very nice seat. The restaurant was really busy when we arrived. By the time we left there were lots of open tables open. We ordered the halibut fish and chips to split. They went out of their way and split it for us. It was so nicely plated. We were impressed by the presentation. The meal was perfect. The fish was perfectly fried to a crisp and the fish was very tender and flaky and didn't taste fishy at all. The fries were crispy like I like them. For such a busy place we had great service. She checked on us several times and brought us more water and ketchup. I really like them dill tarter sauce. It was so tasty.

Oysters Were Cute, But Auntie Needed a MEAL…read more It was my last night in Seattle and I was craving seafood, so I stopped by the spot I went to the night before to partake in their oyster happy hour. Very cute. Very sophisticated. Very "rich auntie enjoying oysters on a work trip." But who was I kidding? Those oysters were NEVER going to fill me up. So I got back to my hotel, got comfortable, and did what needed to be done: ordered Mama's Crawfish and Seafood House. I went with the fried catfish and shrimp basket, which came with fries, coleslaw, and hushpuppies. Now the catfish and shrimp?! Mama did her BIG ONE. Everything was seasoned perfectly, fried well, and exactly what I needed to close out my Seattle trip. I thoroughly enjoyed both. The sides, however, didn't move me. I love fries BAD, but these weren't amazing enough for me to stuff myself when I had perfectly good catfish and shrimp sitting there. I didn't bother with the coleslaw or hushpuppies either. I know where my priorities lie. Overall, Mama's absolutely satisfied the seafood craving. Next time I'm in Seattle, I'd definitely skip the delivery and go dine in so I can get the full experience. Because apparently oysters and wine are just my pre-dinner now.

I ordered the Combo #2, which came with a pound of clams, a pound of shrimp with the heads peeled off. I chose the house special sauce and asked for the hot spice level. But it wasn't that spicy and the sauce needed more of a kick. Both the food and service fell short. The shrimp and clams for the seafood boil were cooked well. However for the price point not so great!

I had a gorgeous breakfast at Bacco! I am a big French toast…read morefan, and I prefer regular French toast over stuffed variations. I had the Ravenna juice (carrot, ginger, and apple) which is fresh and a great way to start the experience. The French toast was divine and filling. I did get a side of bacon for some protein, but you'd be fine without it. It's a busy place, but you don't feel rushed or bothered. Everything comes out quickly and hot which makes a big difference. I'd easily come back!!

I stopped by Bacco Café & Bistro for breakfast, and overall it was a nice experience. Everything we…read moreordered tasted fresh, but the dishes were pretty basic -- good, simple, and straightforward. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely solid. We sat indoors, which was comfortable, but it seemed like the sidewalk seating moved a lot faster. If you're in a hurry, outdoor seating might be the better choice. The service inside was friendly. Pricing felt about what you'd expect for a tourist‑friendly spot -- not outrageous, but definitely on the higher side for what you get. Still, the atmosphere was cute, the food was fresh, and it made for a pleasant start to the morning. Would come back, especially if I'm in the area and want an easy breakfast.
