    Good food. Our server did a nice job, but he was a little too busy late in our meal (7:00 pm). To be expected, but one more serving person would have all the difference for everyone.

    Cioppino was bland. Caesar salad with chicken was below par. All prices were high. Very disappointing experience.

    We had a meal before a performance and were glad we went early as the venue was crowded and it took a while to get drinks and service. We shared some oysters which were quite good and served with a variety of mignonette, cocktail sauce, fresh horseradish and lemon. I had the scallops served with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The scallops and sprouts were excellent and prepared perfectly. My husband had the chioppino which he enjoyed. We shared onion rings which seemed too many and overly breaded. We each had a very generous pour of wine and felt that the service was top notch. Very good experience that we will choose to repeat.

    Excellent service and fresh fish, as expected! Only complaint was that the coleslaw was on the bland side; but that should be an easy fix. Would definitely eat there again.

    First time at Shuckers, food was very disappointing, we had the pumpkin farro with shrimp, both were bland and certainly not worth the price. Husband had the lobster pasta again nothing, Kraft Mac and cheese is better! Not a glass of wine under $20. Will never go back!

    This used to be one of my favorite restaurants downtown. The food was awful. The oysters were creamy which I had never experienced. The salad had too much dressing and the popcorn shrimp was inedible. There was a large amount of cayenne pepper added which was not listed on the menu. The only thing that was good were the steamed muscles and clams. Jim was our water. Very disappointed.
