The Walrus and Carpenter Seattle Reviews

All food was so fresh it was amazing. Oysters were so good. Had the special Halibut and Calamari which were all amazing. The service was so personal and it really made the night the best.

Great food and great atmosphere! Recommend the scallops, fried oysters, and sardines. The pate was sweet from the pomegranate sauce which wasn't bad but wasn't my thing.

Calvin, 10/7/2023

A hidden gem restaurant and bar famed for its fresh oysters, crudos and other small plates. Also had a solid cocktail and wine selection. They don’t take reservations so you’d have to plan enough time for it. We got there at 5:45 on a Sat night for a party of 6 and didn’t have to wait. Our fav dishes were the fried oysters and the scallop crudo. The food was good but I’ve had better seafoods for the price. Overall one of the best restaurants in Seattle for fresh seafood and small plates.
