Taylor Shellfish Oyster Bellevue

We arrived on time for our Valentines Day reservation made a month earlier and were asked to wait a few minutes. Another younger couple arrived after us and were seated immediately in the bustling dining room. We were then led upstairs to a stark, nearly empty loft area, which we declined. On our way out the door, I noticed an empty table being cleared, but not offered to us. Our Valentines dinner turned into a downer. Fortunately there is a new Spanish tapas restaurant across the street where we enjoyed a fine dinner.

Oysters were incredible, and fresh (entire reason why we came) . 1 doz oysters, 1 bottle of wine, 1 crab dish , 1 dessert dish wracked up a $200 bill for 2 people

Great place for a date night dinner. Even when busy, you can carry a conversation due to the high ceilings. The lighting at night is candles and soft spotlighting. Food is fantastic. We’ve been here a few times and we love to visit when in Bellevue.

Oysters always delicious, but the entree was even more amazing. Duck with roasted persimmon and side of potatoes. Perfect wine pairing recommended by our very friendly waitress. A highly memorable meal in every good way.

Our waiter who started as the bartender was rather rude. He was rude bartending and waiting on out table. Didn’t seem like he wanted to wait on us at all. He never checked on us while we were eating our meal Only at the very end and then gave us our check. I've never experienced a waiter or bartender being so rude from any establishment I've ever eaten at in Bellevue. We travel all the way from Bellingham just to see Snow Flake Lane and to eat at Taylor Shellfish. Very disappointed in the service but the food was good.
