Reviews for Shaker + Spear in Seattle, WA
Overall: Great option for upscale dining, especially if you like seafood. The good: Charred octopus was melt in your mouth... goodness, and the truffle fries were crispy and flavorful (as well as big enough to split between 3-4 people). The scallopsrisotto was hearty and filling, and the scallops themselves were fresh and cooked well. Overall the portion sizes were prettygood and we didn't leave hungry. They had a good-sized menu for cocktails, which were great. Atmosphere is modern and clean butdidn't feel sterile or cold. The not-so-good: Food menu is limited and the service was pretty slow at times. Prices are alittle too high. Limited seating. Food/drink: 8.5/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Read more
This place is amazing for people, who love sea food. Overall the ambience is amazing along with service. We ordered Duck,... Calamari, Risotto, and bread rolls. Sea food was amazing, but I won't recommend this place when it comes to veg options. Lookslike I was the only veg person in the group and it didn't work well in my case. Read more

We walked in, got seated at the Chefs table, and the dining experience was amazing. We tried the appetizers such as the octopus,... nicoise salad, and the mussels. Every dish was delicious. The seafood was fresh. The staff is attentive. We received freedesserts from the head chef. I would give this place a 6 stars out of 5 if I could. Read more
Magnificent. I had a fantastic meal here and I absolutely loved the vibe. The black cod entree has a nice sear, is full of... flavors, and just melts right into your mouth! The manila clams are very tasty too and I also enjoyed their local greens saladwith the roasted delicata squash. Highly recommended restaurant. Will definitely be back for more of their delicious seafood. Read more
