    The Totten Island oysters were fabulous. I had the seafood chowder and my partner and I shared the wedge salad, which were both excellent. He had fries (they're the best fries in the city) and shared some with me. The lemon fennel tart was delicious. We'll definitely be back.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner at The Garrison and plan to be back very soon. The space is lovely, quiet, and a comfortable place to enjoy dinner. When we arrived we were notified ahead of time that they were unexpectedly short staffed but would do their best to take good care of us, and they sure did. I don't think I saw any of the staff slow done once. They did everything to make sure people were served in a timely and friendly manner, even under some added stress. The bartender was whipping out delicious cocktails like it was nobody's business. We were impressed! To top it off, the food was delicious. We ordered the seafood tower and enjoyed absolutely everything that was included. We can't wait to bring friends back. Thank you for a lovely anniversary dinner!

    Shuckers was a delightful experience from the staff, through to dessert. Our waitress was Jelena - she was lovely. All of the food was delicious. We had Clam Chowder, Steamers, Oysters on the half shell, Caesar Salad, and the Black and Blue tart with sour cream ice cream. OMG - the sour cream ice cream is to die for!!! My husband really enjoyed the tart. Shuckers is a must-visit restaurant in Seattle.

    French toast was excellent. Was soft and glazed with syrup and caramelized mildly to have a soft bitter flavor pairing well with the sweetness. Crispy potatoes is a worth a mention. Best I have ever had in recent treats. Staff was attentive and courteous. Must visit spot for breakfast if any plans to visit Seattle Downtown area.
