Westcott Bay Shellfish Co.

This is more like a 3.5-star review, but that’s not an option.While the oysters were good, it wasn’t amazing, just regular like other good oyster restaurants and was a bit on the pricier side. They serve portion of 3 oysters per order, which I found a little strange. The best thing on the menu was the oyster chowder, not the standard chowder that you’d expect, lighter on the cream side, and not flour-based, perfectly seasoned. The potato salad was under seasoned, though very good and fresh ingredients.This lunch stop was supposed to be a unique treat in our island visit but I found it to be not that worth it.

This is an amazing place, with excellent service and delicious food. We had an incredible experience here, and we can’t wait to return again soon!

Had a great time here. Everything about this place was awesome, they have spent a great deal of time dialing in the over vibe. Beautiful weather to go along with sitting outside with a view of the bay. Food was awesome, highly recommend the stop light oysters and clams.. but it was all very tasty. The service was some of the best, most consistent service I have ever had.. all of the staff were pleasant, professional and kind, from the hostess to the waitress and bus staff. Our server Bristol was one of the best waitresses we have had in a long time, she has a great personality and made the experience more even more enjoyable. Highly recommend, will return! Also a fun farm store and oyster stand attached.

Awesome, idyllic place tucked at the end of a gravelly path, right on a bay. The oysters are farmed right there! We got the grilled oysters, fresh oysters and oysters to shuck. The fresh oysters were creamy, meaty, sweet and briny and served with lemon and mignonette and went down super easy! The grilled oysters are grilled in shell with flavored butter, and they were delicious! I liked all the flavors but especially loved the chipotle bourbon! Someone came by to teach my husband how to shuck the oysters and he had so much fun, he ordered another half dozen to shuck. They have a really great variety of bubbly, white and rose too. The vibe was so cheerful- picnic tables, umbrellas, little kids and dogs welcome. Will go again!

So my wife and I are not oyster lovers; in fact we are oyster skeptics at best. But we want to like them, and this place really moved the needle for us. The grilled oysters are *amazing*, and I even enjoyed the fresh oysters, especially the Little Oly. And it’s really cool that you can see where the oysters are grown/harvested from your table.Our server, Bristol, took great care of us. She happily answered our questions about the farm, oysters, and also what it’s like to live/grow up on the island. She was personable and dove all in on our mission to learn to like oysters. The staff all seemed to have fun together and enjoy interacting with customers.This place is cute as heck; the vibes are good, the views wonderful, and the branding on point.*only* downside was the portions were a little small for the price. But the quality was excellent so we weren’t bothered.

My favorite dining experience for our time on San Juan island. Friendly staff, amazing oysters, clam pasta, salad and wine! We were able to watch them harvest oysters while we ate ocean to table! I will have to find a time to come back.

Must do lunch spot! Fresh oysters and great food. Beautiful setting.

Overpriced oysters when compared with other locations in the San Juans, and especially compared with oyster farms in the greater puget sound. We were denied a table even though there were 5 open tables outside which we asked to be seated at. They made us make a reservation for an hour later which we came back for to sit at one of the 5 (still open) tables. The place has a nice view and ambiance, but caters towards reservations and people who don’t mind throwing money out the window for a few oysters small oysters. The bread was good, but $2 for a little scoop of butter. I’d recommend trying elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing. Great view, oysters, amazing service. Can’t recommend this place enough.

We found this place on the way to Roche harbor. Didn't know what to expect. We had the best oyster chowder in life!! Clam bowls are excellent ! Baked oysters are amazing.Reservation is required. We were lucky to get in. Thanks to the amazing crew!We will come back again.
