The Oyster Bar, Fine Dining on Chuckanut Drive

San Juan Island Views & Award-Winning Wine

Seafood Restaurant in Bow

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.

A Menu Shaped
by the Northwest

From Oysters to Prime Steaks

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.

A Refined Space for Gatherings

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.
