About
Our menu centers around globally sourced seafood from well managed fisheries; with offerings of local Northwest familiars like crab, oysters and mussels, to more tropical fish like Kona Kampachi or Hawaiian Ono, and East Coast staples like Striped Bass. Our preparations emphasize fresh ingredients that arrive daily, and pronounced flavors from around the world. Our urban-industrial two-story 'fishing lodge' was built with local and reclaimed resources by Dovetail Construction and Marian Built. Our tables were crafted from bark-beetle pine, and we even found a home for our favorite repurposed farm equipment! Our space includes the main dining area, our killer bar, a large modern patio and an

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Most restaurants are really noisy these days, but this neighborhood restaurant is especially so. In so many you almost have to yell to be heard - we are used to this, but we simply could not hear much of what each other said here. While...the food was very good and the service was even better, why would we want to pay over $100 per person in this era when even the well off have to be careful how frequently they dine out, all for the privilege of not being able to communicate? Not gonna return unless they add sound dampening. Too many other choices.More

Having never been to Seattle it wasn’t easy finding a great place for a family dinner with good quality food and a nice atmosphere so we were thrilled to dine at Rockcreek. Overall good service (although the bar was slow) and excellent meals all round....The server was hugely knowledgeable and helped us make great selections - octopus, branzino and scallops all a highlight. The Carolina prawns were excellent - please add a few more! Great find.More

We arrived earlier, waited for about 20 minutes, decided to cancel our reservation 10 minutes before our reservation. The host’s attitude is just not acceptable. Eating out is not only about food. It’s also the experience.

We had an extraordinary late lunch on Saturday. We tried the selection of oysters, really good. We also had the Chilean Seabass. It’s a must while in Seattle. Service very amicable and they have a nice variety of wines.

Excellent food. Oysters and fish are delightful, accompanied by very good wines. The restaurant is 10 minutes away from central Seattle, but via Uber it’s easy to get there. Highly recommended.

We were here for dinner after a college graduation. It was a more casual venue than I expected, but nice, and easy noise levels for conversation. The wine list was not extensive, but had some very nice choices, at reasonable prices. We were surprised and...happy to see a GSM! The food was outstanding. It is the primary reason for my rating. I had the yellowfin tuna, which is probably the best tuna meal I have had ever. Maybe top 2. The graduate had the short rib, and was very happy, my wife had a cod dish, which was also outstanding. Whoever the chef was working on June 9, total victory! As an aside, we had to ask them for a special dispensation to go from 4 to 5 at our table, which they were able to do very short notice on a crowded Friday night. Very appreciated. I am in a mobility scooter, the manager personally came out to help with the exterior ADA lift. Looking forward to eating here again!More

Absolutely garbage I personally had Neah Bay Rockfish Shell and Stew...i was NEVER more disappointed in years , there was a couple of small clams 3 shrimp and 2 pieces of small fish and all of this was resting in this cheap red broth that...tasted like Campbell Tomato Soup.... Not Kidding...this sauce overpowered everything in the bowl that was fish the kicker is that it costs $35.00 not worth 5 bucks and the service was a joke..no water refills...no alcohol refills...not even" How's Everything "go to a local bar like I did...there fantastic.....cheersMore

Made a reservation for 4 specifically for Happy Hour. We were 1st party to arrive when restaurant opened at 4p and were seated at a table outside the bar area. Only then did we find out Happy Hour prices only available at bar. Even tho...it was their mistake in seating us incorrectly, they said it was now a 45 min wait for the bar and denied us Happy Hour prices. Needless to say we walked ourselves across the street to Le Coin for their Happy Hour and spent over $350 for a fabulous meal with half price oysters and great service! Highly recommend skipping this rude service and heading directly to Le Coin.More

I enjoyed catching up with a friend who now lives in Seattle. The meal was delightful, the service attentive and the ambiance perfect for catching up with a friend. We shared appetizers (bbq spanish octopus) and desserts(key lime pie and chocolate mousse) and ordered our...respective main dishes (rockfish and shell stew for me). Each plate was fresh and well presented and served hot.More

There is not a lot of change in their menu, but there are a good range of dishes to choose from. I liked every item on their menu.
