A wonderful experience in downtown Seattle - our waiter was present but not overbearing, informative and fun. The food was fantastic - we had the grilled octopus (beautifully tender with a delicious smokiness and great sauce), scallops (sweet, fresh and perfectly cooked), black cod (beautiful presentation and perfectly prepared, tender and juicy) and oysters (fresh and complemented with a delicious sauce). Cocktails were presented in an amusing cinema-inspried curation that was all very delicious and thoughtful. Probably our new favorite restaurant in Seattle... Worth the trip from Vancouver!

We went to eat at the whiskey bar, but decided we wanted a little bit more food and came here what a delight! The atmosphere is wonderful. The server was very kind and very friendly, and the food came quickly I got the scallops which were divine. In addition I got the tuna, which was simply delicious. My girlfriend got the sliders and fries, which she said, was very very good. Thank you so much for a wonderful time and great service. We had no problem getting in and got a seat right away.

We came in for brunch and were pleasantly blown away by our experience. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a few dishes and every bite was a burst of flavors. Plus, the mimosas were refreshing and not juiced down. The service was attentive and made us feel welcome. The bartender gave us his recommendations and they were spot on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience! I have a feeling this’ll be a regular spot 😉

Fantastic experience. Food was amazing and service was fast and friendly.
The scallops were delicious and the surf and turf tartare was seasoned perfectly.
Parmesan Truffle fries were the BEST IVE EVER TASTED. they had big bits of black truffle throughout ~ every bite was truffle heaven.
The oyster shucking person needs to get a bit more practice... not so happy with the shucking job.
Cocktails are worth a mention with the fun themes.
Definitely check this place out... but maybe skip the oysters.

Usually not a fan of restaurants located in hotels but what a wonderful surprise Shaker + Spear was. Seasonal entrees change frequently. Raw oysters, and prosciutto toast as appetizers. Our Alaskan salmon was some of best I've had, pork shoulder was delicious, and halibut with black lentils was perfectly cooked. A side of just right asparagus, and truffle fries. Cocktails were tasty. Desserts and after-dinner port to top it all off. Service was excellent. Prices reflect the quality of the food and service, but well worth it.

Walked in on a Friday night without a reservation and got lucky with bar seats. Which I am so glad we did, we had the best bartender. Very nice and engaging. I had the risotto with shrimp which was pretty good. And a friend had the pork shoulder which he said was a little dry. We had a chocolate tart for desert which was delicious and hit the spot. All and all a great experience made by the bartender.

Had reservations for a weeknight and was seated right away. Friend and I ordered the honey Brie prosciutto toast and street corn. Both were very tasty and good! Entrees we shared the penn cove mussels and the whole fried tai snapper. The fish was little bland but with the sauce and the arugula on the side it was great and refreshing! The mussels, was more of a paella than what we expected off the menu, but it was still good!

We had an amazing dining experience while on a trip from out of town. Ben was a fantastic server- so knowledgeable about the menu and personable to make the whole meal fun. The food was incredible, drinks amazing, and dessert! If I could give infinity stars I would. Thank you to the chef, manager, and whole staff for a great evening.
Colton Simmons
Loved it. Came without a reservation and sat at the bar no problem. Had a light pear n apple salad that was so fresh, then the cod and bulgogi venison. So damn delicious. The cocktails weren’t bad either.
Joy Bergevin
Everything about this place is perfect. The service is top of the line with extremely knowledgeable staff, delicious local and inventive food and a cozy, timeless atmosphere. Best hidden spot for scrumptious food and drink and a must eat for any Seattlite. Absolutely loved the duck breast and their unique take on local mussels. The Hamachi crudo is perfectly seasoned and just delicious.

Great little restaurant. Our brunch items were all outstanding. The French omelette was super delicious. Excellent service as well. Highly recommended.

Shaker + Spear is an absolute gem! From the warm ambiance to the mouthwatering seafood, this place is a must-visit. The service is impeccable, and the flavors are unforgettable. Can't wait to return!

We took the octopus, salmon and truffle fries. I was impressed by the food overall - but especially so by the full bodied taste of the veggies! Minimalist recipes, but good produce and good cooking.
The service was fast. Minus one star for the price that seems a bit high with regards to what you’re getting.

Came here with wife and mother-in-law for dinner. Reservations are highly recommended since this restaurant doesn’t have too many seatings.
We ordered Manila clams, some oysters, scallops, octopus 🐙 and for dessert we had cheesecake and Paris-Brest. The dishes overall were impeccable 👌 from both plating to taste. The scallops and the cheesecake were our favourite! The oysters were tiny though 🥲.
Was a bit disappointed that sparkling water and draft beer were both ran out on that day.
The service was alright. Would be happier if we got half the attention compared to the table next door 😅
Ian Gorton
Superb food. Lox was amazing. Halibut and scallops as good as anywhere in town, and the octopus was spectacular
R Kaur
The risotto and the scallops were perfect! We walked in and live in the neighbourhood and were delighted to get a table and have a fantastic meal! The plating is gorgeous and the food is amazing- Very few places get everything right and this is few of them!

Everything was subtly better than I expected. The gluten free chowder is better than most. Calamari breading was perfect with fennel-pickled onions.
Tyler King
Came here on a Sunday evening as a walk-in. They weren’t able to accommodate us for a table (despite being guests of the hotel) but were able to seat us at the bar. Turned out to be a blessing because the bartender, Rick, was excellent as a server (in addition to making great cocktails).
The cocktails were all excellent, as were the octopus appetizer and halibut entree. The risotto was good but got to be a little “much” by the end of the entire dish.
Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Seattle.
