My husband and I shared the chunkiest bowl of clam chowder ever. It was hella amazing. I wish I have room in my stomach to try the $2 oysters but the deal is only for 6 at the minimum. Staff were quick and sweet. She was also very understanding because I felt really bad that we only wanted a bowl of soup and that's it. We were eating so much that day. There's also an indoor and outdoor area to eat. The restaurant is a hidden gem and kind of tucked away inside the hallways so you definitely want to look out for the two dollar oyster signs. that will be your beacon.

Never felt so discriminated in my life. This place is the absolute worst! Management you need to do better about your establishment! This place discriminates and for no reason We are visiting Seattle from SoCal. We are of Asian decent. Our family joining us were visiting Seattle for the first time. They are military and moving to Japan tomorrow. They are African American and they wanted to try Shaker + Spear as their last meal in America. We all walked in as you can see from outside that there were empty tables. We were a party of 6. The white hostess looked at us and basically said she doesn't have a table to accommodate us and that she won't have any for the rest of the night. My group consisted of 3 adults and 3 children. There was a table right in front of her that accommodated more than 6 people. She said I can recommend somewhere a bit more "casual". I didn't understand what she meant by that as we were just as casual as she was, along with other people in that restaurant. She then proceeds to call on another guy saying what's that one Mexican place that you recommend? The guy looked confused as he was like it's Italian. She then proceeds to name other places that we had no desire to eat at. We hear of this happening all the time to other people and today, this ignorant POS wanted to give us that experience. Does this establishment not accept kids? Is there a dress code to eat here? Do you have to be of a certain race to be allowed to eat here? Are we, as tourists, not allowed to dress casual in jeans, pea coats, and Nikes, to feel comfortable in the rainy Seattle weather as we are sightseeing? Is this attire just not acceptable to eat at this establishment? Do you just judge people as if we look like we can't afford to eat there? Whatever her ignorant reasons were, we all felt discriminated by this white chick. Then to top if off, as we were exiting, one of our kids was approached by another white ignorant idiot. My nephew had a boot on as he broke his leg in an accident. This idiot decides to ask my nephew hey kid what did you do to get that boot? Was it something stupid or smart? He's like there's only one right answer but I bet you that you did something stupid right? I was like wtf are you f-ing kidding me right now?! What kind of idiot talks like to this a child??!! Man this place sucks! F this POS racist place! read more

Shaker + Spear in Seattle absolutely deserves this glowing 5-star review--this place is a standout in every way. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive without ever feeling rushed. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with just the right amount of energy for a memorable night out. The meal started off on a high note with their house bread--fresh, warm, and served with a perfectly whipped butter that made it hard to stop at just one piece. We shared the fingerling potatoes as a side, and they were incredible: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned to perfection with just a touch of herb and salt that made them totally addictive. The wine selection was impressive--well-curated and thoughtful, with options to suit every palate. Our server gave excellent pairing suggestions, and the glass of white I had went beautifully with the star of the show: the salmon. Cooked to absolute perfection, the salmon was tender, flavorful, and accompanied by a delicate balance of sides and sauces that elevated the entire dish. It was easily one of the best seafood plates I've had in Seattle. Every detail felt intentional and elevated, from the food to the ambiance to the flawless service. If you're in Seattle and want a dining experience that feels both special and relaxed, Shaker + Spear should be at the top of your list. I can't wait to go back! read more

Shaker + Spear in Seattle is an absolute gem! From the moment I sat down at the bar, I knew I was in for a treat. Rick, the bartender, was phenomenal--kind and attentive, providing excellent service throughout my meal. The dining room's elegance is matched by its simplicity, creating a beautiful and inviting atmosphere. I started with the spicy margarita, a perfectly balanced kick of heat and sweet that tantalized my taste buds. The hamachi was fresh and expertly seasoned, a must-try for any seafood lover. The pan-seared scallops were the star of the evening--succulent and perfectly cooked, paired wonderfully with the subtle tanginess of the chèvre cheesecake, which was an absolute delight and a perfect end to my culinary journey. The noise level was just right, allowing for easy conversation. This restaurant is an excellent choice for a romantic date or a relaxed evening catching up with good friends over a delicious meal. I highly recommend making a reservation to ensure you get to experience this wonderful spot. Thank you, Shaker + Spear, for such a memorable evening! read more

After eyeing this seafood restaurant for a while, I finally decided to give it a try-and what a delightful experience it turned out to be! I don't typically indulge in seafood, but every bite tonight was a revelation. The cauliflower steak was simply delicious, and the roasted pepitas added a fantastic crunch that elevated the dish. Despite my usual preference for fully cooked salmon, I thoroughly enjoyed the medium rare preparation, which paired perfectly with the squash and pickled watermelon. As a side, the brussels sprouts were a tad spicier than expected, but the combination of flavors was absolutely amazing. Overall, I can't praise the dishes I enjoyed tonight enough; the flavor profiles were outstanding and truly memorable. The dining area is small, so I would recommend making reservations to ensure you get a table. This restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their enticing menu. read more

We visited Shaker + Spear while in Seattle, and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive without being overbearing, and everyone made us feel right at home. We started with the octopus appetizer, and let me tell you--it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, it had just the right balance of tenderness and char. Every bite was a delight. For our main course, we split the burger, and it did not disappoint. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and accompanied by fresh toppings that elevated the dish. Even splitting it, we found it to be satisfying and well-portioned. The ambiance was also worth mentioning--modern yet cozy, with a great vibe that complements the stellar food and service. If you're in Seattle and looking for a spot with top-notch food and excellent service, Shaker + Spear should definitely be on your list. Highly recommend! read more

I visited this establishment for breakfast and opted for the shaker hangover, a dish featuring fried chicken perched atop a biscuit with gravy and crowned by a fried egg. It proved to be quite delightful. The biscuit had a rich, buttery taste, and the chicken was expertly fried. As you might expect, it's a hearty meal, and the name suits it perfectly. Securing a reservation for a 10 AM Saturday morning visit was a breeze, and it seemed like we could have easily walked in as well, as the restaurant was not overly crowded. The service we received was of good quality. While their breakfast menu is somewhat limited, I found myself intrigued by some of their seafood offerings, so I may return to explore the dinner options in the future. read more

Very good food. Slightly overpriced. It's inside of a hotel, so you're paying a "we have you captive" tax. We came here for brunch. I had the trout Spread and homemade crackers and my husband had the crab cake Benedict which features the cakes as the muffins. This is a great idea! Yum. He had a cappuccino which ran $6, and I had a $4 tea. Both were alright, but definitely not worth those costs. If you're charging $6 for coffee it better be something to write about and not in the way that I'm currently doing it. The trout was awesome. In a city with so many options, this was good, but not worth the rating it currently has. The service was great. Hosts and servers super accommodating. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. read more

We returned for breakfast because it was convenient and I specifically wanted one of the wellness juices on the menu. Unfortunately, we were told they weren't offering juices that morning. My Sweet Toast arrived burnt, and my husband had to take it back to have it remade. Even the replacement was disappointing and simply didn't taste good. We understood it was a busy Seahawks game day, but visibly burnt food should never have left the kitchen. Across both meals, the food quality and preparation were inconsistent. Our dinner server deserves praise, but the kitchen needs much better quality control.

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!

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.
