One of the better high end places to get seafood or surf and turf style fare in Bellingham.
Beautiful view. Good fish and chips. Very expensive

Great location on the water, low cost seafood for sale and you can grill them up right outside.
Litterly amazing, perfect food, great staff, informed suggestions. Everything a great restaurant is!

Worth the drive. Be sure you make reservations.
Went there for wedding party dinner. Very good food, service and views.

By far one of the best restaurants I have tried in the country. The view is to die for and then food is delicious
Fabulous Northwest inspired cuisine. Amazing views from the dining area. Excellent staff.
Everytime when we visit, it’s always satisfying.. amazing view of course, great atmosphere, amazing food and excellent service.
The food is delicious and the staff is friendly !
Unbelievable view and outstanding service! Umfortumately the food does not match the view or the service, and is very pricey for what you get.
We enjoyed a wonderful anniversary dinner a t Oyster Bar. The food was delicious and an amazing view.
Great food, great service, great view.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Sitting on the Edge of the World! Service is Amazing! And I’m Southern, so I know Hospitality!
Everything we ordered was excellent. Cannot wait to go back!
So delish!!
Like the food and view, service is a bit slow, the soup appears with a skin on it (microwaved?) and it’s a bit spendy.
Truly 5 star. Service, view food and wine we’re all exceptional. If you get a chance, a must do.
Excellent food, beautiful view . Very relaxing never felt rushed . Staff is friendly , informative and attentive .
Excellent view, location, food and service. Highly recommend
Good to great food in a cramped, somewhat uncomfortable dining room, depending on where you sit. Waitstaff can be very loud given the general ambiance of the place.
Superb service. Beautiful food that melts in your mouth. Extensive wine and champagne selections.
Eat here all the time with my spouse. The best place in bellingham hands down. They have great food and a great view.
Food is absolutely Amazing. Fantastic Customer Service.
So good! Love the view and fresh oysters! Wine menu is excellent and so is the food.
Beautiful spot and great food.
Best stake I have ever had. Great service friendly people. A+++
One of, if not THE, best restaurants in Skagit Valley!
Excellent food and service! Very nice and tasty
Seriously the best steak I’ve ever eaten. My friend and I shared the steak and lobster and it was amazing!
Incredible view, food is delightful, service is fantastic. Great for a date night.
Fabulous outdoor seating. John, our server, very special. Great food, some items pricey. Excellent for special occasions.
Great food👌👍, but spendy for what we got…😕 If you think the menu was a little “spendy”…NO Problem, the “views” will just blow you away!
Fabulous food, cozy restaurant and beautiful views – always a treat to come here. Especially love the deck dining.
Incrediable food. The view is spectacular no matter where you are seated. A once in a life time experience.
They have a great view and some of the best food I’ve ever experienced. Very friendly staff and great chefs!
Amazing crab cakes, best and most tender venice I have had, loved the wine selection
Loved absolutely everything about this place – food, ambience, location, service.
I love this place! Great place to hang with friends in the summer and shuck oysters. Staff is really helpful and will teach you how to shuck. Gets crowded on nice days.
Amazing food, view and service. 10/10 will be going back again.
Delicious, good atmosphere. Nice view
Always a favorite when traveling down Chuckanut Drive
Great atmosphere, great service, incredible food and the drive to get there is amazing if you enjoy a road trip. Can’t wait to go back!
We actually went to the retail store as the kitchen closed at 5pm. They carry his fresh sea food. The restaurant looks good from what we saw.
Great food great service amazing view. All perfect reasons to eat at the Oyster Bar. It is a little on the pricey side.
The oysters we’re incredible! The food was ABSOLUTELY incredible.
Absolutely wonderful food, and the oysters were incredible!
Perfect place for an intimate dinner or with friends. Best raw oysters on the planet. Amazing service!!
Relaxing classic wooden chairs with lovely sunset views ♥️ Their oysters was amazing with their red wine 🍷 Our server was awesome !! They also have a bottom floor that’s outdoor seating you can see the sunset views as well 🌅. A huge relaxing views of the water of pudget sounds 🔥
A wonderful place to dine in. View, great! Staff, Awesome! Food, beyond tasty.
Epic level experience at the right time, on the right day with the right people. This is where I take my favorite people who love the oysters on the half-shell. This place is not cheap, but it is worth it.
Fantastic!!,wonderful dinner , beautiful scenery!!
The food is outstanding, the staff are great, and the view can’t be beat
Amazing food with an amazing view. Wait staff was as fun and friendly as I’ve ever had. Highly recommended
Stopped here on a Friday afternoon in the fall. Wow – great views, incredible food, fantastic service. You gotta check this place out.
Excellent menu and wine selection. There seafood is killer and the view and service was top notch. An all in all quality and enjoyable experience!
Absolutely the finest restaurant in Whatcom County, food is always prepared to perfection and the service is superb. The view is the icing on the cake of an extraordinary dining experience.
Delicious food, lovely service, and the view west to the sunset from the outside seating was fantastic!
Amazing food, fresh oysters and wine list. But the view is what makes this place truly special. My favorite restaurant, hands down.
Amazing food and views. A unique Northwest experience.
A lovely place for a romantic dinner out. The only thing better than the food is the view. I highly recommend the crab cakes.
Fantastic food, incredible views and exquisite service! Oyster Bar is simply the best this side of the Cascades.
Wonderful food made entirely in house by caring chefs, impeccable service and a wine list that matches any. Love the drive out there too.
Really fantastic food even during this crazy time of carry out. Nice service. And most of all the view is amazing.
This place is so good. Literally everything on their menu is delicious. Service is excellent and the view is killer.
Fine dining and excellent food. View of ocean was stunning
Come for the late lunch sunset meal. We had lobster bisque and pear walnut salad. He had fish and sweet potato chips. I had mouth watering, fall off the bone short ribs on a parsnip puree. Followed by latte with camel pear tart. The Willard Elkhorn and shuamoto oysters on the half shell were delicious … Read more
Ambience and the view. Service was superior and the food was divine
This is one of our most favorite places to dine. And by that I mean relax, take your time and enjoy the food, service and view – high upon a cliffside overlooking Samish Bay. Excellent on all counts!
First BEWARE: Google Plus’ address is WRONG. This restaurant is in Bow, the town just south of Bellingham and a 10-minute drive to the south of the location shown. The street address is correct but the town wrong and Google maps WILL lead you astray if you look for this address in Bellingham. So, when … Read more
We each had an oyster on the half-shell: a kiss from the sea. These were from the Georgia Straight, Canada at its best!
Beautiful views, excellent food & the staff is lovely.
Great view, food and service. Baked and fried oysters were very good, as was the halibut. Suggest you make reservations 🙂
This place is excellent. A restaurant hooked onto a cliff overlooking puget sound. The view is incredible. I had the sweet onion soup which I was not a fan of. But, the Rainbow Trout dish was phenomonal.
Very nice place. Great service, good food! Amazing views.
I love stopping in at this place when I go out for scenic drives along Chuckanut drive or after a steep hike up to Oyster Dome. The view is fantastic and the staff is awesome, not to mention that it’s pretty much the best place to get oysters as fresh as possible, often harvested within … Read more
I dine at the Oyster Bar on a regular basis, and it has incredibly friendly and fun staff, peaceful ambience, great views over Samish Bay, and delicious food and wines. It is definitely one of the top restaurants in the state of Washington.
Good Chef he was cooking for a large private party and everyone in the dining room. Food was delicious, hot and on time. The view of the Sound was beautiful.
charming fine dining and oysters nestled in the trees on a steep forested slope overlooking the squamish oyster farm in the bay. fun experience. recommend sitting on the patio on a nice day and ordering the local oysters.
Best kept secret in Washington. Fantastic food, location and a wonderful staff. Snoqualmie Falls is about as close of a comparison as there is, and there is the obvious differences, but a very high level of quality, pinache, and an incredible wine selection. If you have time, enjoy.
Great selection of the freshest West coast oysters. Loved the appetizer crab cake. Have stopped here numerous times on the way to Seattle. The ambience of the Chuckanut is part of the allure.
Was looking for the oyster supplier, but was too late by the time we got there. Luckily we found this place. Great view, good food and service! No pictures though as they have a sign asking patrons to refrain from using their cell phones.
Wow. This was my first fine dining experience and it did not disappoint. I can not wait to come back and see it in the day time! Brilliant food and excellent service. It is a hidden gem for sure. Very down played.
It was beautiful and the food tasted amazing, but my ingredients weren’t the same temperature.. I ordered the Crab cakes. I still left a good tip and will return again.
Great food, service and views. Only complaint is beer and wine only. I like to enjoy an aged single malt Scotch with meals of this caliber. Still worth it though. Great spot.
Always love going to this place! It’s definitely not cheap, but for a fancy occasion it hard to beat. I go twice a year and have never had a bad experience. It is a really good spot to watch the sunset.
Excellent view across to the San Juan islands. Wide array of oyster varieties. We’ll informed and friendly staff. Excellent and interesting variety of flavorful seafood dishes.
Started out with the steamed mussels and the marinated beet salad. Both were outstanding. The mussels were bigger than I’m used to getting, but seemed like the perfect size. The pistou brought the mussels to a new level! The beet salad was very good, but without any surprises (it was my wife’s anyway.. and she … Read more
One of the best places I visited. Fresh oysters, amazing water view, a little pricey but totally worth it! Definitely will visit again on my next trip to Washington state!
This is a wow place for food and view. There oysters are their signature feature. The chef specials the day are always a delight. In the late afternoon, the view of Samish Bay and sunsets behind Samish Island and Anacortes breathtaking. As the sun sets, the lights on Samish Island adds to the scenic decor.
Wonderful. Pricey but the service and food backs it up. We had a delicious dinner and superb oysters.
Hidden gem that is worth the 10 mile drive off the interstate. Their chef is truly skilled, everything we ordered, 5 courses was perfectly executed and even surprising. Don’t leave without ordering the local oysters!
One my absolute favorite restaurants in Washington. Incredible food. Perfect service. And the view ain’t bad either. My friend and I had as close to a perfect meal as is possible.
I had the trout and my husband had the halibut for lunch. The food and service were amazing!! Definitely worth the price which was pretty reasonable for a higher end seafood restaurant. We will definitely be coming back for a dinner service.
View was spectacular on the beautiful, sunny day we had. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was good but not fantastic. Parking can a little tricky if the restaurant is busy.
Amazing views at sunset overlooking chuckanut sound. The service was beautiful, the food was incredible and I wish my cellar was stocked with all their wine. Thank you for a beautiful and memorable dinner
Lovely restaurant with wonderful staff!! The food was absolutely amazing.
Delicious grilled halibut chowder, without the overwhelming cream flavor one often finds. My partner’s truffle petrale sole special and my seafood stew were both a delight. The shared dessert was pear tartine with both cardamon and maple ice cream. We had the Wild Boar on the last visit. Not brilliant, but very good. The mashed … Read more
A quiet afternoon on the deck, with beautiful views. We ordered, oyster appetizer, entree was Wild Boar with Cherries & Harissa – it was EXCELLENT! Server was polite and attentive. It is off the beaten path, but worth the drive. Highway 11.
Amazing drive, spectacular/secluded views. Truly one of the best salmon dishes I have had in my life – plus very personable/knowledgeable staff. Must go if u enjoy seafood.
Very beautiful and great oysters
Really really good food, scenery and service. Prices to match, but we were not dissapointed. Fish and chips, seafood stew, gnocchi and mussels were all 5 star.
We came across this place while out for a drive on Chuckanut. The waitress was helpful and explained all the different flavors of oysters. The mac and cheese was delicious, as was the duck and crab cakes we ordered. I would visit again.
We’ve been here at least 3 times and it’s been especially great. Food is exceptional and wait staff have always been very friendly. We always look forward to going back. Highly recommend to friends and family and anyone who love great food.
My husband and I shared an incredible Thanksgiving at The Oyster Bar. What a breathtaking view! We were lucky to get a corner window table and I felt like we had won the lottery. Sweeping views of the islands with bald eagles flying back and forth in front of us. The food and service surpassed … Read more
The food was incredible! I had the filet mignon and lobster which was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend and I also had the crab cakes that came with a mango chutney that is to die for. Their wine list is amazing and the service was phenomenal! I will definitely be returning and ready to try … Read more
My husband took me to The Oyster Bar tonight for my birthday at sunset. Can’t beat the view . Wonderful service, great staff and the food is absolutely outstanding! Really enjoyed myself.
Awesome service! The food was amazing as well! Best baked oysters I’ve ever had and the steak was perfection! Lobster is full of flavor as well! I will definitely be going back!
Very nice. Quick service. Hot food. Good prices.
Outstanding food. Great service. The best fresh oysters.
OMG the food is exquisite. We had oysters, pork belly, and lobster & filet. The pork belly was the peak experience, I can’t recommend it enough. The flavor was intense and slightly smoky and wonderful. Not a cheap meal, but then, you’re paying for quality.
Great view, friendly staff and the food was excellent. The crab cake appetizer is a must.
The scenery, especially if your from the midwest like myself, is so worth it. My top favorite raw Oyster was the Barron Oyster. The setting is very relaxing and wait staff superb.
Overpriced, BLAND and tiny portions! At these prices you would think they could afford some spices/seasoning and to put an adult size portion of food on the plate. Would have given 1 star except the view was excellent.
This gem is truly the best of the best. In our 14+ yrs. here, we have eaten here at least 100 times & we count it as our favorite dining destination. We love the small & intimate setting, the glorious, ever-changing view and the delightful service. And the food—extraordinary! We are going to make a … Read more
Really gourmet food and beautiful view. I was sad I didn’t have more of an appetite. Wine list is short but there is a good choice for every grape.
I felt the fried oysters were salty and the crab cakes okay. The oyster bar leads me to think they have a predominantly oyster heavy menu but this is wrong. The half shell oysters are min 3.75 EACH and come with a warning that you eat at your own risk because you may get sick. … Read more
What a great place to have a romantic meal or celebrate a special occasion! View was 5 stars, food was 5 stars, service was warm and welcoming.
Love, love, love, the Oyster Bar. Beautiful views, super friendly service, excellent farm fresh food. I thought I didn’t like oysters but OMG the oysters and condiments to go with them are GLORIOUS. This was my second time there and will make it my an annual visit while visiting my son.
Food was delicious! However, from where we were seated the water didn’t appear to be moving… perhaps the wave machine was off?
Excellent food and awesome dining experience.
Great restaurant. The view is absolutely gorgeous, especially close to sunset. If you like oysters, you shouldn’t miss their local oysters. The entrees are also delicious. We tried salmon and trout, and both were perfect.
The service was exceptional and everything that came to the table was perfectly prepared. We had a great time. Looking forward to coming back.
I don’t do fancy restaurants. Ever. I usually don’t like the food and I don’t drink, so I’m like, what’s the point? I happened to be dating a fancy food liking guy, at the time. And it was his birthday. We were driving back from Darrington and he wanted me to have my first oyster … Read more
Beautiful location, excellent food, amazing service! Highly recommend the cioppino soup!
One of the very best restaurants in NW Washington. Excellent wine selection. Top quality and variety of Northwest cuisine including fresh oysters on the half shell. You will not be disappointed but it will be expensive. Like
Loved it. Food and service was perfect. The drive there is beautiful and scenic and and it doesnt end when you arrive. Got an amazing veiw of the waters and beach, perfect sunset view and everything. They food was amazing and the service was above and beyond with john our server, he was great and … Read more
My first respectfully fine dining experience. My fiance and I went here for our 4 year anniversary and it was a fun and beautiful experience. We got to sit on the deck overlooking the water and it was beautiful. The meal was multicourse starting with a salad and bread. A champagne sorbet is used as … Read more
Great place for a romantic birthday dinner at sunset!
Me and my wife have been coming here for over 14 years. This is a great restaurant where the price is merited. The food and staff are great, the food is very good and they have an awesome view.
When it came time for me to decide where I wanted to have my August birthday dinner, I immediately thought of The Oyster Bar. Yes, it is more expensive, but the food , presentation and view are worth it. Even more appreciated is the small setting and lack of extraneous noise. You can actually have … Read more
So many choices, just went in for the oysters wish we had stayed for dinner. From buttery to sweet all were fresh and delicious I still wish they had had the traditional horseradish. truly enjoyed the views. The staff friendly and professional.
Every experience we’ve had here has been outstanding! Plan for a leisurely delicious meal with lots of time for enjoying the view and your companion (s).
Best stake I have ever had. Great service friendly people. A+++
Excellent food and service! Very nice and tasty
Lovely restaurant with wonderful staff!! The food was absolutely amazing.
Very nice place with beautiful views of San Juans. Food was excellent and service the best. Not cheap, but well worth the money.
What a great place to have a romantic meal or celebrate a special occasion! View was 5 stars, food was 5 stars, service was warm and welcoming.
Outstanding food. Great service. The best fresh oysters.
Beautiful views, excellent food & the staff is lovely.
Celebrating birthdays at The Oyster Bar has been a family tradition for years. We love going when lobster is in season. There’s always something delicious on the menu and the bread baskets are fabulous. The view is the best out of any restaurant currently in the area. We love sitting in a booth. Be sure … Read more
One of my most favorite places to have baked oysters. They farm them in the bay that you can see from your dining room table. Beautiful wine selection for such a remote spot. Stunning drive down Chuckanut drive to the restaurant.
New to Bellingham. We drove by and saw that the Oyster Bar was open. They sat us even though we hadn’t made a reservation. Our waiter was so kind and thoughtful. The food was fantastic. I can’t wait to eat here again
Definitely a five star experience top of the line seafood menu.Very attentive and personal service.With the view of the Bay made it very relaxing .
Atmosphere: GORGEOUS view, clean, beautiful, friendly staff, good dinner music, a fine dining experience Food: OUTSTANDING! Everything we tried we loved! I have a garlic allergy and I was over the moon that I could have a ravioli that was flavor with black truffle and not garlic – delicious x 10! Reccomend: Try the fizzes … Read more
Such a great meal for a celebration. Perfect service. Perfect view!
Beautiful location, excellent food, amazing service! Highly recommend the cioppino soup!
Excellent oysters. Excellent food!
Fantastic food, atmosphere and the best waiters and waitresses in the business. The most complete wine list north of Seattle. Do you like oysters? Another plus!
GREAT LOCATION!! With this kind of atmosphere and view, you could get away with mediocre food. Fortunately, you get both: a beautiful setting in the middle of tree tops with ocean view AND great food. Paired with excellent service, this is a “must stop” on Chuckanut Drive. Pricey, but worth it.
Not a lot of seating and reservations are recommended. Great View!
I can only echo every 5 star review. The most beautiful view to savor while tasting delicious fare and excellent wines. The service is unparralled. Any opportunity to choose a place to dine, The Oyster Bar is my number one.
Amazing views! We had already eaten prior to visiting the oyster bar but we had to step in because of the views. We ended up having dessert and wine while watching the sunset. Service was excellent. Dessert was delicious and the waiters suggestion of dessert wine to pair with the dessert was spot on. The … Read more
Our first visit here and we were very pleased. The wait staff are very efficient ans the food superb! Salmon chowder was delicious as well as the entrees. Atmosphere was good, with the music playing just right. Parking is a little tough and I would recommend a reservation. Priced in 5 Star range. Will definitely … Read more
Great meal and raw oysters celebrating my wife’s Dianne birthday
A view to kill. A sunset to dream away. The portion is small and pricey, but superb service. The best coffee I ever tasted. Dessert is a must!
Fantastic meal! Staff was knowledgeable and attentive. Atmosphere was perfect for our date! They have a great wine selection as well.
Superb food, great oysters and so is service. View is beyond beautiful.
Incredible view, the oysters are of course exceptional, but so is the rest of.the food!
Our family of five enjoyed the food very much. My mom had the black cod which I tasted and was delicious. The rest of us all had steaks and were also wonderful. The attention we had was absolutely great. Our waitress was new of two weeks but was great and very attentive but not overbearing. … Read more

Comfortable, classy dining, beautiful view and well prepared food. The servers are solid and accommodating. Truly enjoyed our evening.
Their food is outstanding! We are fairly new to the area, being from a bigger city with more higher end restaurants, we found it hard to find a fine dining place! This place was just incredible! From their amazing oysters, to their huge wine selection! We were truly impressed! We were able to try sturgeon … Read more
Friendly service to go along with great food and a dynamite sunset view of the bay.
Amazing and flavorful food. Beautiful views! Wonderful sunset.
Quaint, 😋, not too pretentious at all. Food was amazing and well priced. Parking can be difficult and reservations are recommended. Of course get the raw oysters if you are here. Fresh and wonderful. Strawberry salad was great, bread fresh and warm, the main courses are to die for.
The place is great. The oysters were fresh and delicious!
Great food, super customer service!
Delicious food and nice view, great customer service.
Wonderful selection of oysters with an amazing view! Great place for a date
Unique oyster experience! You can literally watch the oysters go from the water to your plate.
Wonderful restaurant. Superb seafood as well as great meat, including venison. Nice atmosphere, views over the sound, excellent service. And to top it off, a great, extensive wine list.
Great service, beautiful food and great beverage selection. The bathrooms were clean and interior well maintained. Oyster selection varies day to day.
Had a great experience. The food was excellent especially their asparagus soup. Our server was also super sweet and helpful.
Great views, food and service.
Exceptional fare offered in Courses. Best of luck deciding…elegance in delishiousness abound!
Fantastic view. Fantastic experience.
Amazing food and service. Prices are decent and there is a huge wine selection! Clean restrooms and a fair amount of parking. Reservations are recommended, they seem busy on the weekends.
Had a wonderful meal to celebrate our anniversary
LOIS was our waitress/server, she was very personable, friendly and professional. She knows customer service, if everyone could be like her a restaurant would have wings.
Excellent, we had a great dinner with family at the sunset time , highly recommended
A fantastic experience. Great food, impeccable service, beautiful setting. We have eaten in many good restaurants but this is our new favourite. 10/10 will be back.
Delicious food prepared to perfection with artful presentation. Attentive wait staff all in a picturesque location.
Great cuisine with amazing view of SanJuan Islands and excellent service.
What a little gem. Great food, wine, views. Nice stop during a Chuckanut drive.
Excellent view and incredible food. Call ahead if dining on or around the weekend.
First time here, very warm and welcoming even on a cold/dark night! Incredibly friendly staff, very helpful with questions I had, and the food was phenomenal. My wife and I both tried the specials (black cod and bison) and both were delicious and tender, the morel mushrooms on the cod were a favorite for both … Read more
By far the best dinner I’ve ever had, and thanks to John for the magnificent service, if you have ever eaten here you know Heaven …
Best lobster tail I’ve ever had, bar none. Lovely ambience, stunning views, attentive service, great wine list, and the lobster — oh, the lobster. My wife and I enjoyed The Oyster Bar so much that we returned the very next night while on vacation in the Bellingham area.
Love the Oyster Bar. The seafood is superb, fresh oysters on the half shell are outstanding along with the whole menu. The view from the tables renders a magical view of the islands and water. Great wine selection and the wait staff is very professional and personable. Top notch dinning experience.
Didn’t know what to expect. Terrific food, big city prices. (Per oyster price more than Taylor Shellfish in Seattle) But killer view, good service and artisan menu, looked like nice wine cellar too.
Food was very delicious. Baked oysters were the best. It’s good expansive restaurant.
Best fried oysters out there, as a broke college student this place was worth every penny 🙂
Hadn’t been here in years but glad I came back. Food was as outstanding as I remembered, view is great and service attentive. Probably the best Cioppino I have ever had, seafood was cooked perfectly and the broth was amazing. The small green salad had a light vinaigrette with blue cheese apples and walnuts, perfectly … Read more
The service and food were spot on. The view over puget sound was absolutely stunning. Interior was warm and welcoming. Big plus for having music on a very low level in the background. We ve ordered the salmon and a dozen of oysters. Perfect match! 5 stars!
Great atmosphere. Everything we had was cooked perfectly. Just wished we saved room for dessert on my birthday.
Amazing food with an amazing view. The staff were informative and friendly. The food was to die for.
Went there for our 25th wedding anniversary and had a great dinning experience, the food was spot on from appetizers to the entrees! Thanks Sean and Stephanie
After walking the beach at Larabee, we stopped by this place… It was SO much better than we expected! We were lucky, because they had a reservation that cancelled, so we were able to get an incredible window view! I’d like to thank the staff and server for the exceptional service and wonderful experience!
From the service to the view to the food, everything was remarkable. We’d go again in a minute. Thanks for making my sons birthday memorable.
This is the best place to get oysters as fresh as they come aside from harvesting them yourself. When I last visited, we watched them pulling up baskets while we ate! You’ve got pristine views of the San Juan Islands and Anacortes, even on a typical cloudy winter day, and the building is modest and … Read more
Possibly the best meal I’ve ever eaten in my life! My wife and I went out for a retirement dinner and wanted to go somewhere special. So glad we chose to go to The Oyster Bar. Oysters were fantastic, along with everything else! Staff was friendly and attentative. We’re average blue collar type people and … Read more
Really neat to see where all of the seafood is caught and sorted. Staff are always super friendly, and the seafood is guaranteed fresh! Just be wary of the road coming in if you don’t have a car that could handle a bit of mud here and there.
Very tasty oysters and crab cakes. Beautiful drive up to this restaurant along with a beautiful view. i would come here again!
Delicious fresh oysters. The entrees had amazing drizzled sauce with subtle flavor combinations. I especially enjoyed the pear sorbet with a Riesling pour over.
Mid winter, mid week, light snow, light(as in only us) crowd. Jax , our server, was friendly and accomodating. Her intimate knowledge of wines btg was correct and appropriate for our food choices. 18 mixed oysters were fresh and delicious with only a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors. Which was good as the … Read more
Loved this little spot on Chukanut Drive. Fine dining for lunch and dinner with a beautiful setting and scrumptious food. We had the mussel appetizer, shrimp and also the salmon.
Beautiful view with above average food. This restaurant sits on a cliff off of the Chuckanut Drive and has stunning views of the water. The wine menu is huge and the food was quite tasty. I recommend this restaurant for a special occasion and would sit on the deck again (even on a chilly evening … Read more

They were awesome! We went for my parents 49th anniversary and the staff went above and beyond the call of duty. They even brought in a special comfy chair for my dad to sit in because of his cancer.

This place is Heaven.. Service was excellent very laid back,views to die for. We just stopped for a couple of drinks and some appetizers on the way through. They have upstairs and downstairs seating with a very nice patio and did I mention the views? Wine list is fantastic, if they don’t have the type … Read more
Great service and fresh oysters. We have good time here. Highly recommend. Thanks.
Your taste buds will be in conflict with your sight over which is more impressive given the delectable cuisine and breathtaking views of Samish Bay. Expect to pay. Although, I do not believe there is any one thing that will disappoint during a visit to The Oyster Bar. Enjoy!
The meal was fabulous and as always the view is breathtaking. This is always worth the drive up from Seattle. So wonderful that they are open for lunch and dinner. A place to take your out of town guests and WOW them. The drive on Chuckanut is a bonus.
After way too many years of wanting to dine here, my wife and daughter treated me for Father’s Day. This was our first experience in a restaurant of such high quality, and it was definitely worth the wait. The food was excellent, very creative, delicious, and well presented. Plus the service, and view were exceptional. … Read more
A great surprise close to the Oyster Dome trail. The jazz music playing over the speakers, the beautiful view, and the wonderful smells coming out of the kitchen provides a great environment for date nights or just relaxing after 5 hrs in the mountains. P.S. Shane is a great server.
Great dinner but filet was over cooked. It should not have been but the view
This is a favorite high end dining experience for the area. Service, food, views and the building are all fantastic. When available the gazpacho is notable — the best we have had anyplace. We use this as a destination for special dates as well as a place to take guests. Fish tacos are among the … Read more
This place is incredible! I am not a seafood person and yet I have loved everything I’ve had here. The desserts are superb, and it’s so hard to choose between indoor or outdoor seating because both are just so beautiful. Such a wonderful dining experience!
Delicious! A perfect place for a celebratory meal!
Wonderful dinner location for an evening out or a date night. The food is delicious and they have a large wine selection. The fish is always cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly with great service. Beautiful views from indoors or outside on the deck. Make a reservation in advance as they are typically booked.
Husband had the Halibut and I had salmon. Both were super moist and spiced perfectly. Our server was amazing. Thank you!
Dreamy romantic spot, especially around the holidays with tasty oysters and bald eagles looking on. After we headed back home I realized I left my credit card. No problem for the Oyster Bar, they shipped me my card promptly.
Took a drive out here on a cold winter day for lunch and it was worth every mile! I had two kinds of oysters and it was the best oysters I have ever had. Far better than anything in Seattle. The Grand Marnier cheesecake is to die for and the Salmon Pastrami is like none … Read more
My Husband and I are from out of town and just celebrated our 15 year anniversary here. He is not an Oyster fan, but we were both very impressed with our selection. Our favorite was the Kumamoto, 2nd was the Shigoku and we also liked the Dabob Bay. The atmosphere was quaint and romantic. Our … Read more
We were group of four people and pretty full but on the way to chuckanut drive, we decided to stop at Oyester bar on a friend’s recommendation! We all were glad, we did stop at this place!! Covidwise this place did follow the guidelines. The staff was friendly and welcoming! Dining area had great view … Read more
Delicious Food, Amazing Ambiance! Sean is the best! We’ll definitely come back!
Went here last night with my husband. I’ve never had fresher or better tasting oysters!! The food and the service was impeccable and you CANNOT beat the view of the bay on a sunny evening!! Parking is a little difficult….so be prepared to walk in the road a bit to get there.
Great place for oyster! It’s so fresh and tasty that you should never miss it! My son used to hate oyster but he ate 4 pieces today! A soft reminder that you need reservation in advance, it’s such a hot place!
4 months ago Amazing 🤩 Great food, great service and such a good experience! We got all of the oysters they had for an oyster tasting, mussels, and the cardamom ice cream, so good!!
Absolutely AMAZING! I recommend trying one of each oyster. The flavor profile described for each one is spot on. Their fish was cooked perfectly. Staff is amazing. Get a seat outside. It is beautiful. Definitely a 5 star restaurant. You will not be disappointed. It was even relaxing. Completely lost track of time. A new … Read more
Exxxxpppeeensiiiive, but….. We went here for my birthday. The shrimp was perfect, the lobster divine, the fillet excellent. I don’t normally like cooked carrots but they cooked all of the sides perfectly. Quite the amazing wine selection and a view to die for. We ordered more than 2 of every oyster and they were all … Read more
Very upscale restaurant. Raw oysters are the main dish. They offer a large selection of oysters from various places around the country. I had the baked oysters which were excellent. The rest of the menu has a great selection of great food. Excellent view.
Amazing food and wine selection! Loved the view and the old building, seating on the outdoor deck overlooking the Sound was amazing. They had gluten free dishes and the staff was very knowledgeable. I got the vegan truffle cake, delicious! Very fancy, don’t forget your mask
We had a dozen assorted oysters with frozen mignonette, smoked salmon chowder, rainbow trout stuffed with scallops, chocolate truffle cake (a semisweet betê noir), and hazelnut wine. My favorite part of the meal was the oysters. The frozen mignonette was fabulous and unique. I’d suggest coming before the sunset (if that ever does happen in … Read more
Great little place with great view of the Salish sea. Very good service. Food was above average. A bit pricey.
Amazing views from this cozy, but elegant historical establishment. Great service, smaller, focused menu lends to high quality and consistency. The oyster selection couldn’t be more fresh, and the Smoked Halibut Chowder is not to be missed!
Went here for our anniversary dinner with friends and Had a Blast!! Amazing views, and the service from start to finish was awesome. Very helpful with pairings etc. And the food, well they say a picture is worth a thousand words so here you go. Crab cakes. Salmon with added gulf coast prawns. Pheasant. Fresh … Read more

Great choice for fine dining w/excellent wine selection. Try the Pahmeyer/Jayson chardonnay with poached halibut. Don’t forget the desert! Well worth the drive… 😎
Great Room. Great server. Oysters. Excellent oysters.
Amazing meal! Great ambiance and view. One of our favorite places.
My wife and I love it. Great food, great service, great views.
Worth the long remote drive. Food is exquisite – and the oysters: you are literally watching the boats bring in the oysters from the beds. Unmatched views.
Awesome food and friendly staff. We will be back soon.
Superb ambiance, great service, spectacular menu. Never had a bad experience, always a pleasure to visit. The Chef creates delectable masterpieces bursting with flavor that leaves you pleasantly satisfied.
Truly charming atmosphere, fabulous view & even better food! Waite staff friendly & knowledgeable. Made excellent suggestions and very willing to visit
Last night was our 2nd time eating a treat of a meal! The Oyster Bar is by far the best dining experience in the area! Delicious gourmet food, beautiful scenery and excellent service!
Eine Unzahl von bereits geparkten Autos machte uns auf die Oyster Bar aufmerksam. Das muss wohl ein gutes Restaurant sein, dachten wir. Und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht! Ausgezeichnetes Seafood und sehr freundliche Bedienung, und ein wunderschöner Ausblick aufs Meer! Ganz super und absolut empfehlenswert!
Such a charming place with lovely food. A wonderful choice for a romantic meal.
Best baked oysters(perfect),rest of menu excellent too,service to match but the view completes the experience
Fantastic food, view, and service. One must try it.
Loved the food and the service. View was pretty great too.
Awsome staff. Awsome view.. best way to enjoy a meal while watching the sunset.
Absolutely superb service, wonderful views, and divine oysters…. Our favorite place for a delightful lunch.
One of my favorite places. I am not a big fan of oysters. I’ve ordered the lamb twice. It was prepared differently both times and both times was amazing. I also love the lodge-type vibe and views.
I celebrate all my special events here. Like when I got my * Citizenship * The driver license * Graduated from the College… See more Tasting menus · Healthy options · Creative cuisine · Romantic atmosphere · Scenic views · Fine dining · Great food · Best brunch

Everything! Our dinner was lovely. The oysters were delicious, and the steak and lobster melted in my mouth. I cannot wait to go back.
Typically a restaurant with such an amazing view has mediocre food, The Oyster Bar on Chuckanut, is one of the exceptions.

Not only was the service very slow (we began to think they were closed because we were the only ones in there), but the heater wasn’t on and it was very chilly.

Lesson learned, should have learned how to communicate with the server when the foods not quite right. We were greeted with you are early, we have no additional seating, no bar. No inside bathroom. Should check to see the tide tables, I guess. The tide was zero, so only mud flats. The waitress never asked … Read more
