All Water Seafood & Oyster Bar — Restaurant in Seattle

Had dinner here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Our server was very nice and professional. Our meal was mediocre. The food took a long time to come out, especially considering it was not busy on the Tuesday we went.

Fritto misto: 4/5 Small portion and skimpy on the seafood. We counted only 3 rings of calamari and two pieces of shrimp among zucchini, onions, and squash. The lemon aioli was really good. Overall, not a good value for $22.

Baby kale Caesar salad: 4/5 The salad dressing was not tossed evenly. There were some pieces of romaine with no dressing while others were drenched. The croutons were the best part about it. The dressing was tasty.

16oz ribeye: 3/5 Undercooked in parts but edible. It wasn’t well marbled with big areas of inedible fat. For $95, this was disappointing. The “charred broccolini” side was actually steamed broccolini, overcooked and not seasoned at all. The roasted garlic needed another 20-30 minutes in the oven. Truffle fries were great and the highlight of the entire meal.

Moroccan lamb shank: 3/5 The first one came out lukewarm. The kitchen staff didn’t heat it up enough and didn’t do a temp check. Second one was hot. Both were under-seasoned. I was expecting something very flavorful but there was nothing that made it “Moroccan” other than the pistachios they garnished it with. The mashed potatoes and spinach on the side appeared to be an afterthought.

Our server handled the lamb issue professionally. Given how slow things were, the manager on duty should’ve come to our table.

Updated to add: We came again the next night since we had a $50 hotel credit and I intentionally ordered something I felt the kitchen couldn’t mess up: a Caesar salad with grilled salmon. However, the salmon was undercooked and they forgot the croutons so unfortunately I had to send it back. We happened to have the same server as the previous evening who felt so bad she comped our meal. Once again, the manager didn’t come to our table to apologize or acknowledge our poor dining experience.

I would not recommend coming here unless you have a hotel...

Seattle is known for its seafood, and All Water Seafood and Oyster stands out as a beacon of that reputation. Nestled conveniently in the heart of downtown, this establishment is a sanctuary for seafood enthusiasts.

As soon as I entered All Water, I was greeted by the chic maritime décor that paid homage to Seattle’s seafaring history. The ambiance struck a balance between upscale and relaxed, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.

The oysters, the stars of the menu, were some of the freshest I’ve ever had. Served on a bed of ice, each variety I tried was succulent and brimming with oceanic flavors, paired beautifully with a classic mignonette sauce. Beyond oysters, the menu offered an impressive selection of seafood, from the hearty clam chowder enriched with smoky bacon to the pan-seared halibut that was a symphony of flavors and textures.

The service at All Water Seafood and Oyster was impeccable. Our server was knowledgeable, passionate about the offerings, and provided recommendations that did not disappoint. The timing of the courses was spot on, and our glasses were never left empty.

To complement the meal, the wine list was thoughtfully curated, featuring crisp whites and sparkling options that were the perfect match for the fare.

While the prices reflect the quality and locale, the experience is well worth the cost. Whether it’s for a special occasion or a treat-yourself dinner, All Water Seafood and Oyster is a gem that captures the essence of Seattle’s...

My visit to All Water Seafood and Oyster Bar was a delightful excursion into the world of seafood. As we were drawn in by glowing reviews of their Oyster bar, we decided to give it a try during our out-of-state visit.

Arriving around 4 pm, we were promptly seated, and despite the limited menu during happy hour, we found the offerings quite enticing. The deal of a dozen oysters for $25, paired with half-off drinks, was simply unbeatable. We kicked off our experience with the house Manhattan and a fancy drink for my wife, setting the tone for what was to come.

We also indulged in an order of chicken wings, which were visually stunning upon arrival. However, they fell short in terms of flavor and tenderness, unfortunately. The rub lacked the punch we were hoping for, and the wings turned out to be on the dry side.

Yet, the true stars of the evening were undoubtedly the oysters. Each bite was a burst of fresh, oceanic flavor, leaving us craving more. In fact, we couldn't resist ordering another round, simply because they were that good. our experience at All Water Seafood and Oyster Bar was a memorable one. While the chicken wings didn't quite meet our expectations, the exceptional quality of the oysters and the fantastic happy hour deals more than made up for it. We left satisfied and would certainly recommend this spot to any seafood enthusiast looking for a tasty and affordable...
