Nestled in a charming spot, this seafood haven offers fresh oysters and indulgent lobster rolls in a cozy atmosphere—perfect for a casual date night.
"Those who enjoy the vibes of the Snug will most likely love visiting the team’s modern oyster bar spinoff Little Shucker. The menu includes oyster bar standards such as baked oysters and oyster shooters, but those who want to splurge can do so on a seafood tower stacked with oysters, mussels, prawns, crudo, and Maine lobster. Beyond oysters, the restaurant serves smoked trout salad, mussels, whole roasted fish, Dungeness crab rolls, and other seafood dishes, alongside wines by the glass or some zero-proof drinks, if preferred." - Dianne de Guzman, Justine Jones
"When you need a healthy dose of Cape Cod escapism, Little Shucker is the answer. The Pacific Heights oyster bar is seafood central—especially if you go all in on the Big Shucker, a seafood tower of oysters, mussels, lobster, and crudo so iconic it should be added to the city skyline. It’s the ideal shellfish centerpiece to pick from while you get tastefully wine-drunk off spritzes or a bottle of riesling in the breezy dining room. Also know that adding one of their tremendous lobster rolls (cold, always) to your order is a requirement. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Capacity: 40 Our favorite Pacific Heights seafood spot (from The Snug team) doesn't have a separate private dining area, but they will accommodate up to 40 guests in their breezy, light-filled main room. Menus and pricing are customizable and can be tailored to whatever intimate gathering you're putting together. As for the food, seafood towers, garlic butter-baked oysters, and lobster rolls await.

"Little Shucker is a shellfish wonderland, and while you could order some cooked-up fruits of the sea, the star of Little Shucker is the raw bar. This airy spot in Pacific Heights features an open and relaxed space that’s perfect for chilling with a gargantuan seafood tower (The Big Shucker) and sparkling wine for hours. The menu is full of plump oysters punched up with a few shakes of tongue-curling, house-fermented serrano hot sauce alongside other hits like a cold (or hot, but get the cold) lobster roll. Come here on the chilliest, foggiest days so you can forget about the weather and act like you're slurping down some briny beauties somewhere a little closer to the equator.

"The multiple sidewalk tables make Little Shucker a perfect outdoor spot. Set in breezy Pacific Heights, you’ll see sundresses and peaceful little tables that get sun-drenched in the afternoon. Come on a warm day and order the Big Shucker—a giant seafood oyster tower extravaganza—a lobster roll dripping in butter and a lavender yuzu spritz. You’ll be the envy of all the dog-walking, Alo-wearing passersby. " - ricky rodriguez
