We had a mix of classic breakfast foods like omelettes, french toast and benedict- but our personal fave was the salmon benedict as well as the banana foster french toast!! I have to say, the food was pretty good- nothing super out of the ordinary, but the service is what blew us away. The wait staff was extremely professional, prompt & friendly. Our favorite server was Alexis, he made every breakfast feel like we were having one at home with a friend. The manager, hosts & servers were all amazing people who genuinely just want you to have a good meal. I really admire any restaurant that can truly make it feel like home. Thanks to Shaker + Spear for being amazing for our trip in Washington- will 100% be back!!

It's nice to watch the staff cook because it tells you that the food is fresh. I have high expectations for seafood in Seattle. However, I was disappointed with the scallops as it tasted raw and cool to the touch in the center. I'm not a scallop expert but this one missed the mark - the flavors were off with the sauce (tasted earthy). Presentation and color looked good, but this didn't taste good. Also came here breakfast several times. I don't have pictures, but each time the breakfast was amazing!

Every custom flight is tailored to your specific taste and price point which I love. Hannah, one of their whiskey curators, is super knowledgeable and created one of the most memorable bourbon flights I've ever had with super rare allocated stuff. The service here is extremely friendly. I was speaking with Hannah about what I wanted in my flight and shared my wish list. Based on that, she chose 4 esoteric bottles that each had their own characteristics that would be interesting to compare against one another. My flight consisted of the Pappy Van Winkle 23 years, Colonel EH Taylor Distiller's Council, Very Olde St. Nick Superfreak, and Wild Turkey Austin Nichols 16 years. It was super nice trying all of these rare bottles that I wouldn't even be able to find, and they were all interesting and delicious! The food here is also fantastic. We came during happy hour since the food is a lot cheaper. My favorite things were the Dry Aged Steak Frites and the Crispy Pork Belly. The steak was cooked perfectly and extremely tender with a great beefy flavor. I love a good french fry and these were fresh and crispy. The pork belly was tender and fatty but the fat was nicely rendered so it wasn't chewy. I love the Asian inspired flavors and the kimchi slaw provided the perfect acidity and freshness to complement the fatty pork belly.

Bread and butter, bread crust is over cooked and supper dry. Butter dip : the garlic had burned flavor and the vinegar in it was a bit too unpleasant. Pork belly very under cook and chewy. Clam was okay. Water: I took a sip of my cup and instantly spit it back into the cup, taste like fishy or eggy or disgusting unwashed cup ... Main dishes: supper disappointing steak , supper chewy , not pleasant experience at all for a $200+ single order Pork chop, the sauce was interesting but it was also very chewy and nothing special. We spend over $340 and if it was as low as $20 we would never go back and try it again. I strongly recommend you to not go there for food. Very disappointing and low quality food, nothing as it is rated

Happy hour is daily 4-6pm but all day Monday, bar seating area only. Plenty of seating, plenty of parking in an unpaved lot, or accessible by the 5 bus. The menu uses a lot of strong ingredients that sound like it would turn away picky eaters - blue cheese, anchovies, balsamic, pickles, etc, and I frankly don't like blue cheese, but all the ingredients they use, they do it well. Just order and don't think too much about the specific ingredients, or be open-minded! I got the Butcher Burger which is soooo flavorful - I love the caramelized onions and how juicy the patty is. I also got the Fistful of Dollars cocktail which was also $12 - gin, basil, Chareau aloe, lime. This was so smooth to drink and looks elegant. Service is great - the bartender checked up on me a few times and proactively refilled my water, making sure my water is almost always full. If you want to make a visit for the burger, definitely recommend going on the earlier side because it is limited quantity. Even though it is 1 per guest per visit, still go early. I was there and of the 5 parties that got seated, I think almost everyone each got the burger, so definitely a hot item!!!

Outstanding Happy Hour & Incredible Vibe! It's been a while…read moresince I had such an amazing Happy Hour experience! We booked a table in advance to catch an early bite, but the Happy Hour menu looked so good that we decided to sit at the bar instead. We ordered the Tuna Tartare, Clams, Pork Ribs, Grilled Eggplant, and Fennel Pickles from the Happy Hour menu, plus the Roasted Olives with extra Sourdough Bread from the main menu. Honestly, every single dish was delicious. The absolute highlights for me were the olives, tuna, pickles, and the sourdough!Here's a quick breakdown of what we had: Sourdough & Herb Butter: Absolute perfection. Crisp on the outside, chewy and moist on the inside. The herb butter was heavenly! Roasted Olives: The ultimate cocktail pairing. Tuna Tartare: The addition of cucumber made it taste so fresh and vibrant. Fennel Pickles: So addicting--I'm still thinking about them! Pork Ribs: Loved the Gochujang (Korean chili paste) sauce, which felt familiar and comforting. The flavor was great, though it had a slight pork aroma that might appeal more to those who enjoy a richer meat flavor. The cocktails were fantastic across the board. Now I completely understand why this place was constantly packed--unbeatable prices, top-tier food quality, and excellent service. Finding great food always sets the mood for a perfect day, and this place definitely made my day!

We shared everything - I missed taking a pic of their green salad, and this was a good portion for us both. She took home the leftover potates! The tartare was okay - I love tartare so for someone who has a preference, this landed in the intro/standard area. The salad was big and overall pretty standard as well. The potatoes were not my vibe personally - while I like dijon/grey mustard, there was quite a bit on these. I'm also not a potato person. The BEST part was definitely the mushroom agnolotti - it reminded me of a dish i got at a capital hill restaurant, Cornelly's. The sauce was incredible and salty, the filling was delish. My only thing was that the dried mushrooms on top were a little big and dry for me, that being said, i'd still get this again!

The staff was so sweet and even brought out a warm cinnamon roll as a birthday dessert, which my little cousin loved! The only downside is that it's in downtown Seattle, so parking can be a little iffy. We ended up parking at the nearby Target garage. Overall, such a great brunch spot and I would 10/10 recommend!
