What began as a roadside oyster stand on Washington’s first scenic highway has grown into The Oyster Bar, a seafood restaurant in Bow with deep roots in the Pacific Northwest. Today, seasonal cooking, attentive service, intimate surroundings, and an award-winning wine list shape the experience.
Seasonal selections include Fresh Alaskan Halibut, Fresh Alaskan King Salmon, Wild Gulf Coast White Prawns, and Maine Lobster Tail. Prime Top Sirloin Steak and Prime Filet Mignon add the depth of a steakhouse menu, while Spinach Gnocchi, seasonal greens, and house-made desserts offer further choice.
The intimate, multitiered dining rooms offer views of the San Juan Islands from every seat, while the outdoor patio opens during warmer months. Reservations are highly recommended, and walk-ins are welcomed when capacity allows. For guests coming from the Bellingham area, the restaurant is just a short drive south. Reserve online in advance and plan your visit ahead.

The Wine Cellar Dining Room offers a more private setting beside the restaurant's wine cellar, with seasonal private dining menus that can be tailored to the occasion. Company dinners and holiday gatherings are a natural fit for the space. Private dining is offered selectively, with limited availability during certain periods, so contact the restaurant in advance to discuss arrangements.
The most beautiful restaurant close to our home! It is dining in a cozy old fashioned way with a heavenly view. We kept coming back and were always amazed by the place, the view, the atmosphere, the foods and the service. Even the simplest salad was made to its perfection! They have a great wine selection and oysters from the region!
This is a nice secluded venue with a great view and delicious food. I had the lobster and my wife had the shrimp and we both cleaned our plates. The mussels and sauce went perfect with the soft fresh bread to dip in it. Great date spot. We will definitely be returning.
Husband and I went dinner here for our 23rd anniversary. We had an amazing and delightful experienced. The food was delicious. We had reservation. They sat us in the ground floor and only the two of us. It was very romantic.
10 stars… Fantastic service, fantastic view from your table, and amazing food. Will absolutely go again. Old school service and food quality. We watched the sunset from start to finish while we sipped wine and enjoyed ourselves. This is not your basic or even upscale dining experience. It's better.
This was for Sunday lunch. Soooooooo good!! I had halibut in a butter and lemon sauce on mixed veggies and basmati rice. My wife had trout stuffed with mixed veggies with an appetizer of crab cakes. Great view and even better food. Customer service was outstanding as well.
