This was definitely one of my top food experiences ever. The restaurant's a bit fancy, but the patrons aren't- aka, you don't need to dress up, but there's a ton of silverware. We went on vacation on a Tuesday, so it wasn't very busy. It's also not noisy, it's a nice quiet space to have lunch. The server was also quite nice. The booths are very comfortable. I got the king salmon, which was delicious. A very light taste of balsamic vinegar, and all the flavours combined perfectly. Mushrooms, cedar, and raspberries- I'd have never thought of that! Anyone who wants to avoid "fishy" fish- this is for you. I had it with sweet potato fries, which I always like, and those came with a very nice homemade garlic aioli sauce. Very smooth and not a super strong garlicky taste. My tablemates' food: one had the bouillabaise, and said it was excellent, with a very light broth, and tons of nice seafood. The other had the fried oysters, and thought they were very well prepared. We finished off the afternoon with desserts; my tablemates got dessert wines and we got a slice of cheesecake to share. It was fantastic, as all cheesecake is; this one had a light nutty taste that wasn't overwhelming. This restaurant really made me appreciate fancy restaurants and just how nicely tastes can pair that wouldn't normally be paired in daily foods.

Wow, what an amazing experience. Had lunch on Christmas Eve on our way to Bellingham. Everything from the white tablecloth ambience and stunning views to attentive service and outstanding food, there is nothing lacking here! We had a nice two-top by the window and started with a dozen oysters - two each of what they had available. The mignonette was like an apple cider sorbet. Sounds weird but it was the perfect way to highlight the different flavors of the oysters, all of which paired nicely with both the Albarino and Muscadet. We moved onto the beet salad next, which was chock full of delicious roasted beets and fresh spinach. Afterwards, we were then brought an intermezzo of quince sorbet in Cava. Wow, even that was a winner! For the main course we had the Black cod special with chanterelles and a tomato Chardonnay sauce. The fish was super fresh and flaky, and the presentation was gorgeous. It came with a decadent side of goat cheese soufflé. Our server, Leah, was very friendly and provided superb service. We definitely recommend this for a nice occasion meal. It is a small restaurant so make reservations ahead of time.

Absolutely best meal I've had out in a long time. The Oyster Bar is now our new date night restaurant. And the service matched the food, impeccable Well done and thank you!

Beautiful view of the water through the large windows and beautiful dining room! No wait on a Sunday a little after noon. Got some raw oysters that were served with hard cider mignonette that paired very well. The fried oysters were delicious but their sweet potato fries were the best part of the dish!! A must try side. Parking is limited in the front of the store and you may need to park on the narrow side of the road nearby. The service was very friendly and attentive as well!

Service was amazing. Food was top notch. We loved everything but our top dishes were the mushroom tartlet and gnocchi. The gnocchi is top notch and a must try. Will definitely be back again.

Amazing views of Samish Bay. Fresh oysters right along Chuckanut Drive. For oysters, we had the Totten Inlet & the Royal Miyagi. We also had the Gnocchi and the Halibut Chowder Soup. To compliment my raw oysters, I had a Pale Ale IPA. Unfortunately, our table was super wobbly. The staff is friendly and our server Leah was super nice. FYI, children below 9 years old are not allowed in the restaurant. They also want you to refrain from using your cell phone, but I took pics because I'm a hardcore Yelper amd want to share my experience!

The food here is always good & the view even better even on a cloudy day. They only serve wine & beer. The menu is small & doesn't change very often. We ways enjoy our time here but it is Very pricey.

The view was absolutely beautiful and it was stunning to see the oyster farm in the water below. The oysters themselves were locally sourced and delicious. The rest of our meal had some highs and lows - the crab cakes and palate cleanser were especially a hit. However, the souffle, while technically excellent, didn't have much flavor, and the ricotta gnocchi was a letdown overshadowed by too many strongly flavored vegetables. For the price point, we were expecting every element of our meal to be above and beyond. I'll also mention, it's funny to see photos of this restaurant on Yelp, because The Oyster Bar says right when you walk in and again on the menu not to use your phone. This was weirdly a bummer. It was my first time trying oysters and was a reunion with friends in a beautiful location. I would have loved something to remember it by.

The outside of this restaurant is deceiving. I would have never guessed the inside and the quality of food based on the outside look. Instead of "never judge a book by it's cover", it is "never judge a restaurant by the outside". I would consider this spot "fine" dinning based on the quality of food, service, table setting, and the views outside the windows! I do not eat anything from the water. However, I was impressed by the oysters served to my partner. I had the best ravioli dish ever. I was very happy especially eating lunch here after a hike. There are limited restaurants in this area. I recommend this place! Lunch after a hike!
