🦐🌆 Is Every Restaurant in Seattle This Good or Am I Just Lucky?

Last-minute dinner plans led me to Shaker + Spear after The Pink Door was fully booked—and WOW, what a happy accident! This place delivered flawless flavors and vibes. 😌 🍽️ Dish-by-Dish Breakdown [Hamachi Crudo] Buttery-soft yellowtail meets passionfruit sauce and sweet peaches 🍑—a perfect balance of richness and brightness. Raw fish lovers, this is a must-order! [Adobo Style Mussels] Plump, fresh-as-can-be mussels in a tangy tomato broth. The garlicky grilled bread for dipping? Heaven. 🍅 (Tomato gang rise up!) [Pan-seared Scallops] Perfectly seared, translucent-center scallops—so sweet and tender they made me emotional. 🥹 Masterclass in simplicity. [Pea Risotto] Creamy, herbaceous risotto topped with crisp apples (yes, apples!). Unexpected? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely. [Side: Fried Mushrooms] Never met a fried mushroom I didn’t love, but these? Next-level. Paper-thin crunch, juicy inside, dusted with spicy salt. Devoured in seconds. 😆 [Cocktails] Pretty Lady + Daydreaming = fruity, floral, and dangerously easy to drink. 🍹 [Dessert: Vanilla Gelato] House-made with real vanilla bean specks—creamy, fragrant, and the ideal sweet finish. 🥰 ✨ Why It Shines ✅ No weak dishes—every plate delivered. ✅ Cozy yet chic—dim lighting, marble bars, open kitchen. ✅ Service—attentive but not overbearing. Pro Tip: Walk-ins welcome, but reservations recommended for prime times! 📍 Shaker + Spear 🗺️ 2000 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98121 #SeattleEats #SeafoodLover #FineDining #HiddenGems #FoodieFinds #DateNightSpot #RawBarGoals
