Overall a great little hidden gem in Ballard. Obviously a bit pricey (oyster MP was $5.50 per oyster, but happy hour oyster was 30% off with HH cocktails). The wine and beer selection is delicious. I had an Albariño and partner had a delicious local Bizarre Brewery Kolsch. The oysters were great. The tartar was not the best I’ve had, but I would venture to say the salted and herbed Rye crisps overpowered the flavor and simpler toasted baguette slices would pair much better with it. The service was wonderful and the staff was attentive and friendly. Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu! Arrive early to get a good spot or avoid a wait!
We came for happy hour and did not disappoint. Everything was quite delicious but some stood out as must orders. The bread came as a delicious accompany to any order. The Scallop Crudo a must so tender and sweet. The Hama Hama Clams, out of sight delicious. The oysters naturally all quite delicious. Great service and understand the hype, worth it, go with friends order a bunch of stuff and drink delicious beverages.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere. We ordered a few dishes, but the portions were quite small overall. It’s a nice place for drinks and some light bites, but if you’re looking for a full meal, you might not feel full. The oysters are also on the pricey side (about $5 each).
Also, there’s already a 22% service charge included, so just be aware of that when paying.
Overall, a good place to hang out, but not ideal if you're really hungry.

Did not live up to expectations. Ordered the oysters, fried oysters, pavlova, and beef tartare. The crunchy bread overpowered the beef tartare. The oysters were good but they were 5.5 a piece, which is overpriced, so 33 dollars for half a dozen. Beef tartare was bland, fried oysters were good.

The food/seasoning pairings are maybe not the best (halibut with chili oil?) and the tuna was a little … not fresh. The oysters were excellent and the wine choices are very good. Wonderful service and ambiance!
