The Shuckery

Everyone was nice. Food was good. Gluten free items printed on menu. Parking want bad. Prices not terrible.

Great experience. We started with the tinned fish and grilled octopus, both were standouts. The octopus was charred just right and super tender, and the tinned fish selection felt thoughtfully curated. For our catch, we went with the halibut and it was buttery, fresh, and cooked beautifully. Service was smooth and attentive. Our server, Travis, had great timing, offered solid recommendations, and checked in just enough. Definitely added to the overall experience without making it feel overdone. Will be back!

Wade is an incredibly knowledgeable and charismatic server. Perfectly balancing space to enjoy your food and time while jumping in when you are about ask for something else. Food across the board is spectacularly prepared. Everything I had was phenomenal. Highly recommend the smoked trout dip. Will definitely be returning. Thank you guys!

Came for dinner with a group. Greeted by amicable staff and quick service. They were able to create a drink not on the menu which was great. The food was fantastic and the cauliflower wings were phenomenal. The fish was also great, sauce and veggies added a good taste. Ambiance was nice - lighting was dim, music was not loud so our group could have a conversation across the table. Free parking on the street or parking garage nearby.

We celebrated our 35th anniversary here. It was the last day of a 12-day road trip and though we were tired, we were hungry 😂, and made our way to the hotel lobby and stumbled upon this treasure. The place greets you like a warm hug, welcoming and unpretentious. We started with ice-cold oysters and made our way through the catch of the day (me), short ribs on polenta (him), shared a crisp Caesar with briny anchovies, and finished with a goat cheese cheesecake that was light yet creamy. Every dish was delicious. The service—from the manager, to our server (go, Natalie!) to the support staff—was friendly, on-point, and made our experience something special. What a great way to end our vacation and begin our 36th year of marriage. Thank you to the Shuckery! We’ll be back. ❤️

Celebrating our 6 year anniversary with my boyfriend, we stopped by The Shuckery for their Happy Hour. Great drinks and amazing selection for Happy Hour. Our server, Max, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time (1st impressions are important!!) We’ll see you all soon! Highlights: service, decor and obvi the oysters

Staff was friendly and welcoming. We didn’t not have food, just stopped in for a few cocktails, which were delicious. There’s a wine tasting room that we’ll have to check out next time. The interior renovation is fantastic and the atmosphere is hip and enjoyable. We felt totally underdressed but the staff made us feel comfortable and for this we will be coming back in full force and better clothes haha

Very cute place with indoor and outdoor eating. The oysters were phenomenal. The rest of the food was tasty but I would come here for the oysters. The server was very nice and friendly and did her best. The food took a long time to get out and wasn’t properly paced. That didn’t ruin the experience but that’s why I am giving it 4 stars. I would order the Calamari again but would skip the ceviche. The non-alcohol beer was great.

The Shuckery is a great spot for fresh seafood in Petaluma. The oysters are incredibly fresh and well-prepared, and the menu offers a nice variety of dishes to choose from. The atmosphere is relaxed yet polished, making it a good choice for both casual outings and special occasions. 10/10 The Shuckery is a solid dining experience worth checking out if you're in the area.

I recently visited this spot in Petaluma for happy hour after hearing so many friends rave about it. Initially, I was a bit skeptical since I'm not typically an oyster fan. My past experiences with baked oysters had been just okay, so I wasn't sure what to expect. However, since they were part of the happy hour specials, I decided to give them another shot. I ordered the baked oysters (Rockefeller and Miso Butter flavors), and I was pleasantly surprised, they were fantastic! I also took the plunge and tried raw oysters for the first time, and I'm so glad I did. They were incredibly fresh and delicious. While the oysters were a standout, I wasn't as impressed with the other dishes, like the clam chowder and ceviche. I'd rate those around a 3/5 stars, they were fine, but nothing to rave about. The service was fast, and the staff was friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so seating can be limited, but making a reservation definitely helped. Overall, I'd come back for the oysters alone, but I'm hoping to find some other menu items that stand out more next time!

What we ordered: -Fresh Seasonal Shrub (3/5) -Whiskey Sour (3.5/5) -Raw Oysters (5/5) -Single Baked Oysters - Rockefeller/Butter Miso (4.5/5) -Ceviche (4/5) -Clam Chowder (1/5) -Fries (4/5) _ We visited The Shuckery for their daily happy hour, which runs from 3-5 PM. Since they were fully booked for happy hour the day before when we tried walking in, we made sure to reserve a table this time. We sampled a variety of dishes from the menu, but the standout items were definitely the oysters--both raw and baked with miso butter. They were absolutely delicious, and we ended up ordering over a dozen raw oysters! Unfortunately, the clam chowder was a bit of a letdown--it was bland and lacked that rich seafood flavor we were expecting. The service was quick, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. The restaurant is also connected to a charming hotel, which is worth checking out for its cozy vibe. Overall, I'd definitely return for happy hour--especially for the oysters!

As someone who has shucked oysters before, I know that it isn't always easy, especially to do it cleanly AND fast, so I understand everyone is going to have a different skill level, but on our last visit, not only did the oysters have a ton of shell fragments, they were also completely mangled. Again, everyone is going to have a different skill level, but there ideally should be an expeditor that helps maintain at least a minimum quality bar for all the food that goes out, especially now that oysters are pushing $4+ each.

The food was delicious! I tried the mussels, octopus, and calamari which were all very tasty. Each dish had a unique flavor that made each of them memorable, in a good way. It's a smaller sized restaurant and unfortunately had a hard time with the noise levels for my parents. We did go out on a busy Friday night so maybe not quite as loud on a weekday! I miss the days they had the outside seating.

Took my friends from San Jose here since they love seafood. While the service was great, the food here really wasn't too enjoyable. The seafood seemed fresh but overall wasn't exciting and lacked in flavor for us. The only thing we all really enjoyed was the clam pasta. If you're looking for seafood, I would recommend just going to the coast.

Delicious food, great oyster options. The staff were friendly and attentive. Nice spot for a casual date night.

The Shuckery is the real deal and a perfect spot for all seafood lovers! Hands down one of the best happy hours in downtown Petaluma! They also have happy hour seven days a week from 3-5 PM so if you can't make it during the week, stop in on the weekend!  A couple of favorite menu items includes: - Fresh oysters that rotate daily - Ceviche with cod, which is so refreshing - Fish tacos that are scrumptious!  - Calamari - Cauliflower wings - And of course the Della Fattoria bread basket that comes with garlic, olive oil and tomatoes! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance even for happy hour! The Shuckery is intimate, and they fill up quickly especially on the weekends!

This is such a cute place in the cute town of Petaluma. We ordered the Clam Chowder Bread Bowl, Calamari and fish tacos. The Clam Chowder was delicious! The Calamari was different than I ever had, it had fried jalapeños and fried radishes along with it. So yummy! The tartar sauce was also delicious. The fish tacos were so good, fried fish and fresh. I'm not an oyster fan, but the trays of oysters coming out to other customers looked good and you can tell they are popular here, hence the name Shuckery. Our waiter was attentive and was giving everyone around us great explanations of the oysters, sauces, and special dishes. We were driving through on our way back to Sacramento from the Bay Area and decided to stop in Petaluma to hopefully bypass traffic and I'm so glad we stopped. If you are ever near the area this place is worth the stop.

This was my Father's Day Dinner with my bride, my daughter and my granddaughter. I moved to Petaluma abut 6 years ago and I can remember eating alone at the bar while I was looking for a new home. I have been though several iterations of Shuckery (and Luma Bar and Eatery!) since then. I have to say this iteration is great, and this instance was the best meal at Shuckery ever! I ordered the California white wine blend and it was a first - my wife and I BOTH liked the same white wine! And we just finished celebrating our 54th anniversary. I started with two each of the top three oysters. I opted out of the one from MX a bit strong with the other 3. I asked the gal that brought over the oysters and asked for her suggestion. She said I'd start with this (it's sweeter) and the the other two (which are similar but not identical) as a first round and then go back the other way for the second round. It's always fun to be helped by someone who is as much an oyster lover as I am, just younger and waaay more knowledgeable! Then I had one baked oyster with the pepper (my wife had one with the parm). It was kick *ss! Then two of the fried oysters, and I even got my "no I don't like oysters" granddaughter to try a half of one and she came back for the other half. Then I had the sautéed scallops. Good as usual. But I still wanted more... I had an entrée of the clams and mussels and Della's toast all in a great broth with some spinach leaves. Sounds strange but it is GOOOOOD! We split the two desserts, creme brûlée and mixed berry galette. MMMMM good! I think that having every course be as great as the previous ones is nigh near impossible, but it happed for me on Father's Day 2024! Thank you Jasmin and staff both from both sides of the house.

My wife and I went to Petaluma on a Monday to do some shopping. And upon completion of our shopping we were hungry. I was looking on Yelp and many restaurants were closed on Monday Or closing soon. I was pleased to see that The Shuckery was open. So off to The Shuckery we went. Upon entering, it was pretty dead inside. Fine by me, I dislike crowds. I am very thankful the restaurant was open even on a slow night. My wife and I shared a few dishes. Baked oysters, prepared three ways. Rockefeller, poblano, and miso butter. I enjoyed them a lot. My only complaint is the poblano. I would not order that one again. The pickled pepper was too much. It took away from the flavor and focus of the oyster and did not complement it whatsoever. The pepper flavor was too overpowering in my honest opinion. The Rockefeller and miso butter were both fantastic! We shared a bowl of clam chowder. And an order of calamari. Everything was fantastic!!! If you are a seafood lover, I highly recommend this restaurant!

This is a wonderful happy hour spot. The oysters are so fresh and delicious. I also love the conservas with bread from Della. Don't skip the fish tacos. They're great.

We stumbled upon this place. Very nice and elegant restaurant. It was very crowded but we were lucky and they sat us at the bar. The service was nice, friendly, and helpful as we told them we had never been here before. We arrived before Happy Hour (3pm - 6pm) ended, so we were able to try some of their snacks. Oysters on the Half Shell: 2 Buck Shuck! Daily selection. Delicious, briny, and slightly sweet. Baked Oyster: rockafeller; poblano with pickled chilis; bingo; miso butter with tobiko. This was rich, savory, and decadent. The Shuck Caesar: little gem lettuce, white anchovies, croutons. Mmm... the dressing was creamy and savory. The anchovies were briny, fresh, and meaty. The croutons were nice and crunchy and added to this flavor explosion! Fish Taco: house tortilla, green salsa, lemon crema, coleslaw. The white fish was flakey and deep-fried. There are a lot of texture and flavors going on in this. Tony's Fried Oysters: remoulade. The sauce was delicious and a hint of spice. We had this bread thing which I can't remember. LOL. Picture attached.

This place slams. HARD! I've made a trip to Petaluma just to eat here. Like no joke! Perfectly situated on the corner, tucked into the beautiful Hotel Petaluma, The Shuckery is NOT one of "those" hotel restaurants that only stays in business because of the hotel - this eatery stands on its own merit, hands down! Our last server was a doll; patient, great recommendations, excellent timing... she truly made the meal even better. I can't say enough about the menu - it's so well balanced and simply offers the best of what the area has to offer. Fresh selection of oysters, gorgeous towers of seafood, beautifully presented conservas, excellent wine pairings - honestly the experience is top notch from start to finish! The bathrooms are in the hotel lobby and it's a beautiful view in there! Great patio just adjacent to the bar if you want to have a cocktail after dinner - this place is a WIN!

Went for happy hour menu before a movie a few days ago- arrived right at 3pm without a reservation (they were fully booked) but got in. Fresh raw oysters with a better than average mignonette was our starter- the oysters were delicious! Next we shared a couple roasted oysters- Bingo and Rockefeller. Tasty but not super memorable. We also shared the fried calamari basket which had interesting things in the mix like radish and fennel- this was excellent as was the aioli it was served with. We both had the happy hour white wine- $10 per glass for a decent white blend. Of course it was crowded and buzzing by the time we scooted out to the movie. Yes, I'd go back!!

Stopped in for a cocktail and stayed for this gorgeous seafood tower. Make a reservation to secure a spot at this sweet little spot. Service with a smile, including great wine recommendations and a little taste before we committed to a full bottle. Put it on the Bu key list when you're in Petaluma!

I've never eaten at this particular location, but I've walked around and I love the hotel environment and their bar in the main room!! It's an old classic Victorian building that was remodeled into a hotel, and I love all the old-fashioned carpentry!! The restaurant/dining area isn't too big, but it's perfect for friends as long as you make a reservation!! On a Friday night, my friends and I went to the happy hour But we had a reservation, and the couple in front of us tried to get seats without a reservation and they were told it was at least a three hour. Wait! Goodness! Lol. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful since we couldn't figure out what we wanted to eat besides four dozen oysters! Lol then we each got this delicious rosé bottle of bubbly, along with a handful of different appetizers to share!! We had amazing service and when our server went on break, she introduced us to the lady that was going to be taking over and she was very helpful and tentative while the other server was on break. I definitely had an amazing , filling experience!! I will definitely be back!! Everything tasted fresh delicious, and the environment was simply marvelous!!

I've been twice and it's been hit or miss. Aww, shucks! (yeah, I went there) I love seafood so I really want to love the Shuckery. The atmosphere is sophisticated and the service is kind and capable. The food is pricey for the serving size and last night the salad was so over dressed it was downright mushy. I will try it again and order it differently. Overall a nice classy addition to Petaluma.

This place came highly recommended by the hotel. The atmosphere was fun and exciting! The food was absolutely amazing!! Our server Sierra was so kind and attentive as was all the staff. We had a great time! I highly recommend it! Petaluma is a great little gem in Northern California.

I recommend this location for their wonderful service and attention to the culinary arts. I stopped by during happy hour and decided to return later. It was such a wonderful experience. The menu was an exciting adventure and I ended up with what I thought was a simple solution. I ordered the seasonal salad and the oysters with a wonderful Petaluma Pinot noir. Staff was amazing and salad wine and oysters were delicious. I recommend!

Outstanding oysters! So fresh! And only $2 during happy hour! We started with dozen and a half and had to order another dozen cause they were that good. Caesar salad was one of the best we've had - creamy but balanced dressing, fresh crisp greens. The drinks were tasty. Loved the beautifully displayed conserva (tinned fish), which tasted as tempting as it looked! Friendly, efficient service!

A FANTASTIC experience that I'm still thinking about months later. I was SHOCKED that I hadn't reviewed this place when I looked it up recently to suggest to a friend. The vibes here are immaculate and the service is phenomenal. Super knowledgeable staff that will help you choose the perfect dinner and drinks for a fancy night out. I had my first oysters ever here and I think I've been spoiled for any other oysters I may have in the future. All the food we ordered was delicious. The oysters Rockefeller are to die for. So garlicky and savory. I can't wait to return in the future and eat more deliciously briny raw oysters too! Perfect for a girls' night or for a group of foodie friends!

Favorite place in petaluma! I've gone here at least 5 times for the mussels and clams and the Caesar salad.

Incredible food, happy hour prices are really good. Waitstaff is very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended. Make reservations on the weekend

Having been here twice before, I was not pleased with the following experience. I arrived on a busy Saturday night and was lucky to get a seat at the bar/oyster area. The Oyster Shucker was also the Waitperson, and he was quite busy. He greeted me and asked for my drink. The drink arrived ten minutes later via his fellow Waitstaff, which I thought, ok, he is extra busy and that is totally understandable. I had asked for sparkling water instead of the regular water which had not yet been served. I told him twice I was ready to order over a 20 minute period; in the meantime I was enjoying reading the paper, neither prompt resulted in my order being taken. A gentleman sat down next to me in the one remaining empty seat about twenty minutes after me. He was greeted by the Oyster Shucker, asked for his drink and shortly thereafter, gave his food order. The Waiter was standing right in front of me, taking his order. Nothing said to me. Was I supposed to ask a third time? I don't think so. At that point, it seems clear my business is not wanted, so I left cash for the wine and dined across the street.

Loved this place! Fish for 2 just perfect. The service was awesome too. I had never been to Petaluma before so I used yelp to find this place! Winner

Had the pleasure of dining there last night, such an amazing evening. We started with cocktails in the lobby near the roaring fireplace decorated with Christmas cheer all around. From the time we got there to the time we left the staff was so personable and accommodating, smiles and friendly conversation by all. Once we were seated the menu had so many delicious choices we chose to eat traditional Italian style on Christmas Eve with a variation of a Feast of the 7 Fishes. Starting with a dozen Oysters on the half with a mixture of the evenings features. Excellent tasting, followed by the Calamari Misto, lightly breaded and seasoned to perfection. Shared a bowl of the Clam Chowder, so good and uniquely flavored. Will definitely have it again when we return. We then moved onto the Anchovies prepared in a Basque sauce, so good and reminded me so much of the fresh Anchovies prepared in Italy which I can never get enough off. We couldn't pass on the Oysters Rockefeller which was incredibly tasting. Our waiter was great with recommendations being our first time dining there, he was spot on with what we liked. We finished our dinner with the Crumble from the dessert menu with French Press coffee. The Shuckery you had us at "hello", we are now one of your biggest fans and will be dining with you a lot. When in Petaluma you have to experience this amazing restaurant, the food is incredible and not like anything else you have ever tasted. The staff is like family and if is located adjacent to a boutique hotel featuring a warm and inviting lobby to enjoy your amazing cocktail's before and after your dining experience. Mangiamo!

I just had a wonderful experience at The Shuckery last night. I've driven past this spot so many times over the years, and I am glad that I finally decided to check it out. We were celebrating a half birthday with seafood! We started with drinks and oysters. My partner tried all of the raw oysters and loved them. I tried the basked oysters, and they were all good, but the bingo and the one with the chili's were the best. The drinks were all beautiful to look at and delicious. I got the equatorial something something (I forgot the name) it was yummy maybe a little sweet, but not very strong, so I switched to the mezcal cocktail, which was phenomenally refreshing and packed a punch. We started with the spring mix salad and OMG this was one of the best salads I've ever had! There was so much flavor and texture in there. The goat cheese wasn't terribly tart, which was a nice change. I love goat cheese, but even people who don't like goat cheese would appreciate the soft herbaceous globs that graced this salad. There were very few pistachios but a lot of fried (?) chickpeas that were chewy and flavorful. There were also pickled red onions and sliced asparagus. This salad is SERIOUS. I would come back for this salad alone. We finished off with the clam chowder and the poke bowl. Both were *phenomenal*. I wish that the clam chowder bowl was larger. When it arrived, I thought they had mistakenly brought me a cup. The creaminess and the seasoning were great. They got the herbs just right. However, there were not a lot of clams in the soup. The poke bowl looked spectacular. The tuna had a great color, and the sauce they tossed it in was delicious. The bowl was really pretty to look at as well. I liked the addition of Japanese mayo on the rice. It set off the whole plate right. I usually like mac salad with my poke, and the mayo replaced that without the extra carbs. There was also a fresh spread of edamame, wakame salad, sliced radishes, medium boiled egg, cucumber slices, and sesame seeds. The plate. I would definitely get the poke bowl again. I watched the people next to us devour the whole fish meal for two, and I was very jealous. I'm going to have to get that the next time I stop in with a friend. The service was fantastic. We sat at the bar, and our main server was a friendly and outgoing woman named Sina. She gave us great recommendations and was a joy to engage with. Her colleague Shen also helped us. I really liked watching how well they worked together and how everyone in the restaurant enjoyed each other's company. Everyone was bringing a great vibe, even the hostesses and the food runners. The parking was a little tricky. You have to find street parking, there is no dedicated parking lot. Downtown Petaluma is a popular place, and we happened to make reservations on Butter and Egg Day (womp womp -- this is a big deal in Petaluma) which meant we drove around for a while before finding parking. Regardless, we'll be back to enjoy more of their delicious cocktails and plates.

After hearing great things for a while, my expectations were high when I finally had the chance to dine there. The food was decent, but it didn't quite live up to the glowing reviews I had read. I found it to be okay, but nothing exceptional. I felt that the menu was quite overpriced for the quality and portion sizes offered. Additionally, the chairs and tables were not very comfortable. While it was not a bad experience overall, I don't think I'll be rushing back there. It's unfortunate because I had high hopes, but it just didn't quite meet my expectations based on its reputation.

Ah shucks, I liked this place so hard that I think my head imploded! These oysters were amazing... Absolutely to die for! And the ice bed they displayed them on was stocked with some of the most beautiful ice I have ever seen! That ice looked so sharp that it could have sank the Titanic! I definitely would love to come back, however that is not really an option now. Thumbs up!

I took my Mom here for the first time last night & we enjoyed a fantastic meal. We had oysters (raw & baked), we shared the whole rock cod & paid a few dollars extra to have the famed Caesar salad instead of the seasonal salad. The sides were a very tasty black rice pilaf & the best creamed spinach I've ever had! The fish was wonderful, drenched in a mouthwatering caper lemon butter sauce. I took apart the fish like a wild animal & left only a small pile of bones. The server told us how to filet it & it all worked out wonderfully. We shared the Creme brûlée for dessert. It was lighter than what I have had before (almost like a flan) with a few berries scattered on top. Next time I will try the panna-cotta. The service was friendly & we felt at ease through our entire meal. My mom really enjoyed herself & we will be back soon.

If you want to get excellent service, delicious food, and hip ambiance stop by. I love coming and sitting at the bar. The open kitchen and view of how beautifully they approach cooking and playing is mesmerizing. We have tried many dishes but really come back for the fresh oyster, anything with seafood and the goat cheese cheesecake. It is truly one of a kind. I highly recommend coming here and enjoy whatever is on the menu, you will not be disappointed

Last night was my third dinner here over the past year and The Shuckery gets it right every single time. We usually order a salad and a conserva or two as we did last night. The Ceasar salad is nothing short of perfection: baby romaine, croutons of Della bread (IYKYK) and a dressing made of a yogurt base - a rare and welcomed creative version that avoids eggs. We also had the bijou oysters that are not to be missed if you see them on the list. For conservas it was spiced tuna pate and branzino with a generous portion of more of that Della bread. Their wine list is one of the best I've seen anywhere in Petaluma with some bold choices that I've rarely seen elsewhere. And the service is always always warm and competent. The dining room is small and despite all the hard surfaces the noise level somehow stays relatively moderate (and I am miserable at places that are too loud).

Nice little place for oysters nice ambiance and good wine! List of Portuguese's can anchovies too

Delicious meal! A birthday gift we finally got to enjoy. Lovely, attentive service. A bit noisy with the full restaurant, but we didn't mind. Try the Cioppino and The Catch with the blackberry daiquiri!

The ambiance is a bit eclectic, spread-out throughout the Hotel, with a lobby bar. Fun! $2 oysters where delicious Service friendly, prompt The clam chowder excellent Make sure to have the cauliflower Buffalo wings (haha) The NA they serve is local, best ever

Hands down one of the best seafood restaurants in Petaluma, comparable to The Marketplace. Their happy hour lounge is absolutely cozy and wonderful! It sucked ass in like a magnet and didn't let us go! Interesting ironwork lighting, gilded touches, potted palms and comfortable seating make the adjacent hotel lobby an absolutely wonderful place to meet someone for a drink or just chill with a friend. Service is great and conscious--no rush at all. The Restaurant itself gets very noisy when it's full, which usually happens after 6:30 PM. Virtually everything on the menu is freaking delicious, although pricey! But, you know how the old saying goes... From calamari appetizers to a wide range of oysters on the half shell to main dishes, you will not be disappointed! Even the outdoor seating is fantastic, with generous weather covering, strings of golden lights, heat lamps at virtually every table surrounded by a dark angled brick inlaid floor, potted plants and relatively comfortable wrought iron seating. Street parking is decent. If the weather is good, or it's a weekend, arrive early to park nearby.

Overall great vibe. Max the waiter instantly made me feel like this was a good place to stop at. I will be back. !

This is my favorite restaurant in Petaluma and I go here every chance I get...it never disappoints. The service is spectacular and the happy hour is the best in town. The scallops are so incredibly amazing that I dream about them, the flavors are just unreal! I love this place so much

Delicious food and beverage. Wonderful service, very friendly atmosphere. We will return next time in the area!

This restaurant is located within the hotel we stayed at for our stay in Petaluma. It's a wonderful but small place that gets busy on the weekends. They have plenty of items from their raw bar and appetizers' menus. The drinks come from the bar within the lobby lounge. We ordered: raw oyster selection (8 each), cauliflower Buffalo style, calamari, shrimp and crab claws, and shrimp Louie on endive apps. This was enough food for us four to get through happy hour, which is from 3pm to 5pm. The service is great even when we were slow choosing all of our appetizers and drinks. We were very happy with all of our food and the drinks that we shared. It was a nice experience even though we did not stay for entrées that I wished we did. Enjoy!

You know when you see a place that cares about every aspect of what they are doing as a matter of fact its amazing! Great staff great food and thanks! Eddie from Sebastopol

Once we walked in the door we were greeted by a surly server who treated us like we were beneath him. Ordered drinks and our food came directly after. Our minuscule four scallops were over cooked and under seared, the oysters were tasteless and all the portion's were very small, over priced. The ambiance is lacking. We will never ever return to this establishment. As locals we were looking forward to eating here but not worth your time or money!

Fabulous Seafood, delish cocktails, prompt friendly service in a cozy yet boisterous atmosphere. Located inside the Hotel Petaluma in downtown. It's my first choice destination for a nice seafood dinner in town. The mussels and clams were perfectly steamed in a rich white wine broth. I loved the Caesar salad because of the whole fillets of fresh anchovies and the super tangy and garlicky dressing.

Food: I came here during a happy hour. I loved the raw oysters! They were fresh and tasted oceany. Baked oysters were also great! Service: everyone was very nice. They were prompt, friendly, and professional. Ambiance: It was pretty casual when I went during a happy hour. Noise level was medium which felt lively.

I had a great time at The Shuckery! My S/O and I had a reservation at 7pm and chose to sit at the oyster bar. The atmosphere was lively but still intimate. What we got: * calamari mitxo - very good! light and crisp * taco bar, carnitas - should've gotten with the cod instead * baked oysters, rockafeller - delicious!! * raw oysters - super flavorful * cauliflower wings - great fry and loved the sauce * the huntress (cocktail) - super strong Everything was great! All of the servers/shuckers were very nice. We got great recommendations on what to order. Would definitely recommend coming to The Shuckery if you're celebrating or simply in need of a nice dinner.

What an amazing place to get a bite. The staff is incredible with their knowledge about what is being served. Drinks are created with care at every step with so many ingredients made in-house. The ambiance is spot-on for a good experience. I've made several new friends while dining here. Highly recommended you hit this place up and try it.

We stayed at the attached hotel and they were overly accommodating and just fantastic. Secondly the food was amazing. Overall just a wonderful experience.

Lovely place in Petaluma. Enjoyed a late dinner there. They were able to accommodate two without reservations, on a Saturday night. Mezcalientes cocktail was great!
