Fresh Shucked Oysters
Lisa R.

Great Happy Hour menu daily until 7pm with a $2 oyster option! This Happy Hour menu is only offered in the bar area, which gets very busy at this time of day. The oysters on the half shell were fresh and came with different accoutrements. The ahi poke was as very tasty as well with a sesame flavor and taro chips. Even though it was busy, the service was attentive. Ambiance is bright and modern. Reminder to validate your parking ticket with the host before leaving. Highly recommend this place definitely for Amex Plat is on the Resy credit #iykyk

With espresso

Nice and classy place for happy hour bites and more. Can't remember what type of oysters they had, but they were local caught with good balance between sweet and briny for a large oyster. Must try their deviled eggs and their grilled shrimp w/mashed potatoes. Their shrimp ceviche was okay. Also, had to get their butterscotch crème brûlée which was great with some espressos. Bartenders were great so I'd recommend sitting at the bar, especially if you're a tourist; they can give you the rundown on the area.

Panna cotta
Matthew Y.

Stumbled into Seastar without realizing it was Seattle Restaurant Week, which turned out to be a happy accident. The prix fixe gave us a chance to work through a wide swath of the menu. The room was packed, mostly business dinners that day. The bread basket alone got us excited (kicking myself for not snapping a photo). Drinks were solid too. The grilled octopus was the standout for me. The Parmigiano-crusted petrale sole was comfort food done right: golden, crispy crust with mashed potatoes and haricot verts. We closed with the passion fruit panna cotta and crème brulee. Heads up: service was good, and there's a 20% service charge on top of the check.

Went here for the first time for happy hour and was immediately impressed with all the friendly and helpful staff. Very inviting and offered great suggestions on menu items. Started off with the Call Me Ol' Fashioned cocktail which is their take on the classic. Well made with one large ice cube. Also had 12 fresh shucked oysters that were amazing. After that, ate several others items off the menu, all was great. I was very impressed with the consistency in quality across all the food and service. I will be back to try more options.

Sushi Rolls
Jen F.

Had a lovely dinner at Seastar. I think we spent around 3 hours there and the waiter was incredibly patient and helpful. It has a very nice elevated modern look with dramatic lighting. I ordered the Grilled Thai Shrimp dish which was amazing. We also ordered a variety of rolls (Spicy Salmon, Super Dave, Pete's Magic Dragon) which were all great. The pineapple cheesecake was delicious. I got a Sparkling Raspberri Cosmopolitan which was delightful as well. Every thing I ate here was amazing and I would certainly come again.

Truffle fries. Really good.
Anh L.

Came here on Saturday night. Place was packed. Ambiance--cozy, romantic. Service--amazing, from coat check to our server. Food was ok. My partner liked his fish/sole. I thought it was on the salty side. Three fish crudo app was good and filling! Grilled Octopus was good. Spicy ahi roll was just ok. Prob wouldn't order sushi again. Their truffle fries are really good

Visited last weekend and had a really nice experience. The food was great, with both appetizers and main courses standing out in flavor and quality. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly throughout. The only downside was the desserts, which were disappointing compared to the rest of the meal.

Passion fruit Panna cotta
Alvin L.

Came here for an Anniversary dinner - nice restaurant in Bellevue Ordered some beverages and for our entrees we had the scallops and the cedar salmon. Food was warm and tasty. We enjoyed it. For dessert we had the passion fruit Panna cotta - this was light and refreshing. The house made fruit cocktail on top was a nice touch. In regards to service - there wasn't much communication outside of the team taking our order and delivery the food to us. Overall - the food was good. Service in my mind could be a bit better.

Passion fruit panna cotta
Maxine L.

Decided to treat myself to a nice dinner, and made same day reservations for seastar. There's validated parking in the below garage (amazing ty). We were greeted and sat immediately. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks, I was taken through a whole maze to my seat lol For food, I ordered the diver sea scallops with this cream corn base and a passion fruit panna cotta for dessert. The scallops themselves were okay. They were nicely cooked, plump, and juicy, but the flavor was so off. They had this soapy, baking soda-y taste that could only be masked by eating them with the bacon in the dish. The cream corn base was, on the other hand, rich and flavorful. But it was so heavy, I started getting tired of the flavor by the time I was done. Passion fruit panna cotta was overall pretty good. I liked the tart and sweet flavors. The texture was a bit off though. Was a bit more grainy than I'd like. Other qualms about the food: presentation felt like they were trying to be cute and fancy, but it felt sloppy. Portion sizes were also on the smaller size, especially given the price. The panna cotta itself was like a quarter cup of actual dessert, and $12 Service was okay. They were attentive and quick. But at times, it felt a little curt and unwelcoming. Overall, not an awful experience, but wouldn't come back. There's definitely better restaurants to treat yourself to.

Steelhead with apple wood smoked white shrimp
Nina S.

Continuing to offer great service, good food! Nice place to have a celebratory meal. Just want to add more pics. So glad we tired the: - Torched Salmon Belly - Black sesame sushi rice, shiso leaf, unagi sauce, $22 - yummy! - Dungeness crab bisque, $17 (cup) - always a favorite! - Miso Glazed Sablefish (Black Cod) - with braised baby bok choy, grilled shiitakes, snow peas, jasmine rice cake, $49 - love the outside crispiness of the rice cakes! Black Cod was nicely cooked with the miso glaze. Baby bok choy, shiitakes, and snow peas were cut up and mixed together -- I tatsed the shittakes and baby bok choy, but not the snow peas but still great tasting! - Steelhead with apple wood smoked white shrimp (3 shrimp pcs) - Ancho-chili, SW mash cake, chili hollandaise, lime crème, $57 - pleasantly suprised to taste the smokiness in the steelhead! Wonderfully done!

Deviled Eggs with smoked salmon and wasabi tobiko
Dena F.

I enjoyed a delicious happy hour at Sea star. I ordered the deviled eggs and Seared Ahi (the Ahi appetizer not on the happy hour menu). Both were so yummy and freshly made. It's getting so hard to find truly good Ahi anymore. Or even real Ahi, which is becoming so challenging to find. The Ahi Sea Star served was perfection And their deviled eggs were just as good as always, served with wasabi tobiko. It's been a minute since I've been here and I am so happy that Sea Star's food quality and staff are just as amazing as they always have been. Also kudos to the couple who started to sit down at a table that had just opened up, until they saw us get up from the sushi bar to walk over to the same table that became available. When they saw us start to walk back to the sushi bar, they offered us the table . This was SO nice of them, since they realized we had been there longer and didn't really want to sit at the sushi bar. So rare these days and so very kind. Yep, going back again soon!

Oysters and Prosecco

I found this restaurant while at a conference in town. What a great find. The oysters were very good. The salad and fish were excellent. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town.

Mija & I were craving oysters, so we walked to the Taylors on Capitol Hill near our hotel…read more She, another rellie & I shared a dozen oysters, caesar salad, steamers and moqueca (Brazilian seafood stew | $26) and bread ($5) - not all items pictured. 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. Taylor has a few locations in Seattle, and I believe you can also do a tasting tour at their actual farms. After my experience, its no wonder they've been in biz since 1890.

I was disappointed with my crab. I didn't realize it'd be chilled…read more The geoduck was decent but nothing I'd go out of my way to get again. I ordered two different oysters and they were meh... This was pretty expensive considering I wasn't pleasantly satisfied with my meal or full. Ambiance was typical to a wooden sailor seafood restaurant. Servers were friendly.

The vegetable dishes were excellent: flavorful, well-prepared, and apparently packed with enough fiber to move several years of unresolved business through my digestive system. By the end of the evening, my bowels had entered what I can only describe as "Super Slide" mode. This was not ordinary diarrhea. This was an express-lane evacuation. Waste did not merely leave my body; it checked out early, skipped the front desk, and fled the premises without saying goodbye. The food was delicious, the staff was attentive, and my colon emerged feeling lighter, cleaner, and emotionally available. Highly recommended for vegetarians, food lovers, and anyone whose lower intestine needs a firm but flavorful motivational speech.

There's a menu section that filters all their items based on dietary restrictions, so it was pretty easy to find items that fit her dietary needs. The aguachile was fresh and bursting with flavor, the chilies were really well-seasoned, but the duck was the real standout. So well-seasoned, tender, and that cranberry sauce?! Did not expect to like it as much as I did. We also got some mocktails which were yummy and hit the spot! Docking off one star just because the price was pretty steep for the portion, but otherwise was a nice spot.
