Editorial Review for Shucker's – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Inside, the Fairmount Olympic Hotel's casual oyster bar resembles a chapel: shadowed, quiet, sheathed in dark wood, with recessed seating along one wall. Local business people predominate at lunch; hotel guests and other out-of-towners at dinner. Business wear mixes affably with denim and shorts.
The Food
As the name implies, oyster selections are plentiful, and the bivalves earn respectful attention, especially the plump, crispy fried version. It's possible to make a satisfying meal of the tomato-broth seafood chowder and the Irish-soda-bread muffins that come in the bread basket. Sandwiches--grilled portobello on potato bread and ahi on grilled sourdough--appear at lunch; steaks at dinner. Chalkboards announce daily seafood specials.

Insider Tips
Where to SitThere's one table squeezed into an alcove by the window that affords a sunny (weather permitting), semi-private sanctuary--sort of a cloister within a cloister.

Their happy hour deal is a steal... great oysters and draft beers for a great price, and it's not busy at all! The bar staff is also extremely friendly and chatty. They did assume that we were from out of town, but I'll give them that, as they are in a hotel. Down to earth, helpful... just right

Ok. So Shuckers in in a hotel. Its not standard hotel food. And besides,its not just a standard hotel. Its the Fairmont Olympic. I'll get to that later. Shuckers is where you go for Oysters. You want your Oysters to be prepared perfectly,right? It doesn't matter if you prefer Oysters in the Half Shell. Oysters Rockefeller, Oysters Casino or however you like. Shuckers is THE place to get your Oysters. In fact, I make a habit of enjoying Oysters Rockefeller at the bar. Its a classy place,but not snobby.
Pros: great place to meet your friends or make friends
Cons: they have to close sometimes
