Charge more money than I really paid !.
I went to this restaurant on Sep.21, 2010 and I came all the way from Pennyslvania to visit my friend in Seattle. I went to lots of places and restaurants with my credit card. Only Emmet Warson's
Oyster Bar charged more than I really paid. My bill was 44.65 but they charged me 44.80. I know it's only 15 cents, but it still bothers me.
I've never been charged more than my bill, and this is my first time. I will consider the honesty of this restaurant in the future and I will never go to Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar anymore. Their service was really horrible and the price was higher than the rest of the restaurants, and it wasn't even worth it.
Think twice before you use a credit card in this restaurant.…
baffled by the reviews. emmett watson's is GREAT!. i am not quite sure why the priors reviews are only 1 star. i had a great time at emmett watson's. it's a casual, cute local seattle seafood joint, complete with blue and white checkered tableclothes. delicious clam chowder and oysters, nice choice of local and regional beers on tap to complement any meal.…
Discrimination. I was denied service there on 1/16/2010 at 2pm. I seated myself at a table for one and waited for 5 minutes, but the waitstaff ignored me. Then an elderly couple entered, seated themselves at the booth next to me - they were given menus, silverware and napkins AND a waitress immediately. The only difference I saw between me and the couple was that I have multiple piercings in both of my ear lobes which some people ( who work at this restaurant) use as a means of discrimination.…
Do not eat there. We found this Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar about a month ago and the food at that time seemed really good. We went on October 24,2009 and what a revolting, service and food that we had. The service was absolutely terrible. My husband loves fried oysters. When they came out he tried one and he knew immediately that something was wrong with them. He tried to tell the server in a quite and polite way that something was wrong, but the server got loud and basically thought that my husband did not know a thing about oysters. Well he was wrong my husband has worked in seafood for a number of years and knows what oysters taste like and if they are bad or old. He did not want to bring us anymore and basically charge us for the bad ones. He finally brought some more out, they were okay but after the service that we had and embarrassment the waiter had brought to us, we will never go back. This waiter should be fired and the establishment needs to have a health inspection done now.…
Good oysters and market atmosphere, but slow and rude service..
The broiled oysters are great and the location hidden back in the market has a cool Seattle vibe. However we have stopped going there because the service is so bad. They automatically assume
everyone is a tourist, as they never have a consistent seating structure or staff that knows what they are doing. For regulars this is a pain because you never know what you are going to get, yet if you try to seat yourself they get upset (even when they aren't busy and nobody is up front to help you).
The service is also slow and disinterested, and can take quite a bit of time to receive another drink or the check. If you order broiled oysters they always annoyingly remind you that it will take time, yet from hearing them talk it's because the kitchen staff hates to make them and doesn't like schucking the oysters.
Overall this place would have great potential if it just improved its service and standards.…
