    I visited Lowell's with a coworker for a late lunch and I'm SO glad we did. You order at the front and choose one of the three levels to sit at, the third with a beautiful water view. The gentleman taking our order was so kind! Coworker got the fish and chips and I, the salmon Cesar. Both were a huge portions and very tasty but the salmon was the star of the show. Locally caught and sold in pike place market, it was some of the freshest salmon I've ever eaten. Truly melt in your mouth, and the price for each meal wasn't exorbitant. I'll definitely be visiting again next time I'm in Seattle

    Best calamari I have ever had. Fresh and delicious. The concept of ordering and finding your own seat is hectic but it worked out for our party of 6.

    Salmon Chowder Bread Bowl
    Sydney F.

    Lowell's is a must stop for incredible clam or salmon chowder in a bread bowl. It's a casual vibe inside Pike's Place where you order at a cash register and then your order is brought to your seat wherever you find one. The bread bowl was soft and fluffy which was the perfect addition to my salmon chowder. Great quality and lots of pieces of fish that was a perfect lunch on a chilly and rainy day. The clam chowder is also incredible and a staple of Seattle.

    The place was Busy for a Thursday afternoon! Only place we could find seating was on the third floor. Pretty views but was a little cold for my liking. The table near us complained they were freezing also. That being said, the food was solid. I had a chicken sandwich with bacon and Swiss . It was huge and ate the entire thing! Hubby ate the fish tacos which were flavorful if a bit messy.

    Nothing like a bowl of CLAM chowder in the morning for breakfast along with corned beef hash, eggs, and hashbrowns. Service was awesome but the view on the 2nd floor was better than awesome!

    Lowell's is a must-stop if you're in the market! We had a beautiful table tucked into a corner overlooking the harbor and outstanding service from Tyler--friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. Breakfast was delicious. My husband had the classic combo with eggs, hash browns, link sausage, and toast--perfect comfort food. I ordered a huge bagel topped with herbed cream cheese, king salmon, pickled onions, and capers... absolutely fantastic. And bonus: unlimited hot coffee --always a win. It's tucked right inside the marketplace, and we actually found it thanks to a suggestion from our server at Alder & Ash the night before. So glad we listened! Would I come back? Heck yeah! Next time, I'm trying the crab omelette for sure

    Sat at the bar. For a birthday cocktail. A special chai martini. Served iced and so good. The wonderful bartender JoJo provided excellent service. And it's a bar, so the ambiance was fun. A gentleman sang happy birthday to my sister and me. And people were overall happy here. An iconic Pike Market place. Maybe next time I'll eat some food. SYOY!

    Prime location - inside Pike Place Market! We needed a drink and a quick bite while we toured the area. We visited around 4pm on a Friday and the place was not packed. Definitely a change from a previous visit I had last in Sept 5 years ago. The VIEW gave this place the 4th star. Try to get the window seat as much as possible if you visit this place. Ordered the chowder - just mid. Nothing special and definitely had it better. Wish the bread bowl was toasted. Calamari - small portion - was good and so was the fries. This place is one of those Order, Pay then get your food type. Menu offers many choices. They have a bar on the second floor and the drinks were great. Be prepared to pay more for your cocktails :/ The bartender was nice and welcoming.

    Drinks Only- As we were meandering through Pike's market on a Sunday, we decided we wanted to pop in for a drink or two. The bartender mentioned mimosas and Bloody Mary's so my ears perked up. They had an unusual Bloody Mary with salmon, so as we were in Seattle, I felt that I should try this version. I was expecting a piece of salmon on my drink, but rather the salmon was within the mix- interesting.....not sure I would order this again. I think I would stick with a regular bloody mary. Pricing wise, not bad for being at the market. Netherless the bartender was very friendly. And very kind to address all the questions of the tourist stopping in. The view from the bar of the water was beautiful. The bar on the second floor is quite small. If eating, there are plenty of seats among the three floors. Note lots of stairs....to the second and third floor.

    Lowells Clam Chowder & Salmon Chowder
    Shana N.

    Clam Chowder: 6.5/10 mid. Unfortunately, the chowder of the day wasn't salmon which is my fav. Fish and Chips: 7.5/10. Fish was ok, fries were good, tartar sauce was great. Calamari: 8/10. Calamari was good, sauce was ok. I enjoyed the calamari with the tartar sauce from the fish and chips. Service & Ambiance: 10/10. We sat at the top level where The Crab Pot was. We were brought our food from both restaurants and the window view was amazing

    Place has a great view, service was good. Staff were friendly, beer was cold. The food was nothing to brag about. Pretty much no taste I guess it would be like having COVID and eating here..

    How much I paid
    Regina I.

    It's a a great view! Apparently that's what you're paying for ! However as far as the quality of food for the price, nah ....i paid 90.00 plus tip for overfried hash browns that were hard as rocks. The hollandaise sauce was obviously not homemade and mehhh at best, the side was $6.95 . Obviously you needed it to drowned the rock hard hashbrow on my plate. It was 4.95 for a cup of black coffee! Not a latte, a cup of French roast! My Dungeness crab eggs Benedict was served on a piece of sourdough toast not a traditional English muffin at the price of $39.95!!!! For $10 more I could've bought a whole container of crab at Costco and made my entire family that consist of seven people homemade Dungeness crab Benedict with fresh organic eggs from my own chickens ! The French toast was basic at best... Save your money go across the street to Me Sum pastry by yourself a curry bun and be happy for a cheaper breakfast and a cup of coffee outside of the spot ! That might run $12.00 total!

    Crab melt
    Jayson D.

    What a great find!--Lowell's gives you the perfect location in the world famous Pike Place Market but keeps a down to earth and inviting attitude. And all while serving up fresh catches of the day. I loved the crab melt sandwich. It's not cheap, but it packs all the meat of a full Dungeness crab without making you do the shelling. And the meat is spread all the way to the bread's crust, so you get a mouthful of oceany, succulent crab meat in every bite--no pointless bites of empty bread. Served with fries.

So when I woke up still craving shellfish, RockCreek was the call. It was the right one. A dozen oysters to start: Kumamoto and Shigoku. Clean -- no grit, no sand. Whatever they're doing back there, it's working. The brine was full and present in every shell, and the mignonette hit that rare sweet spot of light but actually seasoned. The Winter Old Fashioned? Get it. It was so delicious. Then came the crab Benedict. The side salad alone was worth writing home about -- big, buttery, peppery leaves draped in one of those feather-light vinaigrettes that sounds simple until you try to replicate it at home and realize you can't. But the real star of the entire plate was the potatoes. Crispy outside, genuinely fluffy inside, seasoned with conviction. A masterpiece is not too strong a word. Closed with a glass of pink wine. Was eyeing the bottle with the piglet on the label, but it was bottle-only -- a distinction I find increasingly arbitrary as a former server and bartender. One day that policy will be a relic. Not yet, apparently. Best brunch I've had in Seattle in two years. Highly recommend.

We ordered some of our go-tos -- hamachi crudo, tuna tartare, and calamari -- and everything was spot on. The vinegar dill fries are exceptional: thin, super crispy, and loaded with seasoning (honestly hard to stop eating). We also tried the loaded fish sandwich and the cornmeal-battered lingcod -- both solid choices. Spicy margarita lived up to its name with a nice kick. It was pretty dead when we arrived around 5pm, with only one other larger table seated, which made for a relaxed, easygoing happy hour. Always a dependable spot when you're craving seafood done right.

Upon walking in, we noticed the server was pretty quick to take the initiative to push a couple high tops together since most of the tables only sat 2. We also had a child with us so he offered us a booster seat. I feel like that was the last time we were treated pleasantly. Our server was very dry and direct when he approached us. I told him my husband has celiac and his response was "Ok." I followed up with so can you tell us what options we have that are Gluten free friendly? (Didn't think I needed to ask after mentioning a severe allergy) He just stepped away and looked like he was trying to find out from someone in the kitchen. He came back shortly after and gave us our options. We ordered a few different things to share, oysters, the fish dip and mussels tostada. The vibe we got was that he did not enjoy serving us because we had a child with us and I seem to be asking him too many questions. That is the impression he left with us. I will say the oysters were very fresh and enjoyable. We also got the crab Mac n cheese which was cheesy and tasty. We asked him for some more chips since we ran out quickly for the smoked oyster dip. He seemed annoyed but got us more. I could overhear that he sounded more pleasant with the other guests surrounding us. The mussels tostada flavors were nice but I didn't love the texture of them which is totally just my preference. He dropped off the check shortly after and noticed there was a 18% gratuity which I found out is standard for downtown Seattle. Being in the industry I do think it's a courtesy to mention it when dropping off the check to a guest. On another note, I did think the seafood tank in the center was cool because you could see all the geoduck and oysters they were offering. Overall, I think we wanted to enjoy our experience more but the servers attitude and demeanor towards us was off putting and we just tried to eat quickly and leave. Don't think we'll return to this location.

Their happy hour runs from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday; we arrived around 2:30 and the place was packed. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes to be seated. ​From the happy hour menu, we ordered: ​Oysters of the Day: The Beach Glass and Kumamoto were today's oysters, so we ordered six of each at $2.25 apiece, which was a pretty good deal. The Kumamoto is on the sweeter side and went down nice and smooth. The Beach Glass was firmer with more of a chew. Both were really tasty and super fresh. Geoduck Chowder: The chowder itself is not too heavy and was really tasty. People are probably used to having clams in their chowder, but geoduck is a great alternative. We ordered this with a side of bread. ​Smoked Oyster Dip: This one is very creamy and savory, and it tasted great with the smoked oysters in it. It came with potato chips, which were fine, but since the dip is already salty, the chips made it even saltier. It goes down really well with a pint of beer, but we ended up eating it with our side of bread from the chowder, which paired better than the chips in my opinion. ​From the regular menu, we decided to order the Crab Mac and Cheese. They used a smoked Beecher's cheese sauce which was great, but it seemed to overpower the crab meat. It isn't a dish I would recommend for the crab. ​Overall, happy hour at Taylor's is still a great deal and a must-visit for fresh oysters.

Located at the north end of Pikes Place (across the street from Cutters) is this gem of a find. We made reservations online and was able to get seated quickly (it fills up fast). Looking at the menu it looked like we also timed it with happy hour (double win!). We quickly place an order for two dozen oysters (at $2/ea it's a steal) while we perused the menu. After ordering the oyster platter arrived and it was so fresh, chilled and tasty. We quickly devoured it. Moving into dinner, some got the crab rolls, but I settled for the new menu item: halibut. The delightfully savory halibut was moist and served with a nice side of potato and was as perfect as one can make a halibut dish. I would eat this again in a heartbeat. If you are in the Pikes Place market and wanting a break for a nice meal, this is the place to pop on in. Be sure to do a reservation as they do fill up quickly! Hope you get to enjoy it soon too!

Oh, and the view on Lake Union is also really great, especially if you can grab a table near one of the patio heaters.
