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.

Everything tasted fresh, especially the Dungeness crab, which was clean and well-prepared. For kids, the menu options were a bit limited for our taste, so we went with shrimp fried rice instead--and it turned out to be really good as well. The service was great, and the ambiance was okay. So far, this is the best seafood combo spot!

It's nice that Crawfish Chef is fairly close to where I live. My party of 5 came here at 1:45pm on a Sunday. Parking was plentiful at this time in the strip mall. I was surprised at how many people were there considering it was just past lunchtime, but we were able to get seated immediately. The menu has the usual Viet-Cajun flare, where you want to eat seafood boil or items cooked from the kitchen. I noticed that there was the option to order headless shrimp for those of you who are squeamish about shrimp heada. I ordered a pound of head-on shrimp with added corn tossed in House Sauce at Medium Spicy. The shrimp had nice texture, the corn was sweet and the sauce was pretty decent. We were provided gloves which was very nice. The server was very attentive and refilled my drink when she saw it was getting low. Overall, we had a nice experience and thought this place was pretty solid. If I had one suggestion it would be to have a stock of wet naps considering that this is the type of establishment where you eat with your hands and there is no sink outside of the bathroom.

Many of their dishes include Chocio corn (similar to hominy), and they even served a crispy version as an appetizer. We came here for dinner with a dozen people, shared 20 plates, and absolutely loved everything. It was a Monday night, which happens to be half priced wines by the bottle - we got a great bottle of Sagemoor Reisling for just $22.50, regularly $45. Service by Raquel was very attentive, and she made great recommendations. We ordered 20 dishes to share: (1) two Festival de Cebiches -- 3 types of ceviche: Classico (halibut), Popular (crispy calamari, shrimp, octopus, halibut) and Nissei (tuna, seaweed - my favorite) ; (2) two Tiradito Criollos - Hamachi sashimi w/ sweet potato in tiger milk sauce - incredible; my favorite dish of the night; (3) two Antichuchos de Pollo; (4) 2 Antichuchos de Res; (5) 2 Golden Chaufa -- fried rice with Dungeness crab and shrimp); (6) 2 Pescado al Pilpil - halibut w/ roasted garlic and crispy kale - my husband's fave; (7) 2 King salmon charapitas w/ roasted sunchokes and rainbow potatoes - wow; (8) 2 Lomo Saltados - wok fried beef tenderloin, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, oyster sauce, soy sauce w/ potatoes and rice - wow; delish, (9) 2 yuca fries; and (10) 2 wok fried broccolini - delicious flavor. For food (drinks separate) was just $93/person including 20% tip and 2.5% employee well-being surcharge, which we all that was very reasonable for the quality and quantity.
