I have been in this restaurant few times. Service is always top notch. Gorgeous setting, you get to see the creek and the forest while you dine. Their fish is always fresh. I almost tried everything on their menu, everything is excellent.

Just south of the better-advertised Oyster Bar is this Inn, a restaurant that also features fresh, locally grown oysters. In fact, you can see the oyster beds from the bayside windows while dining! We found that quite fascinating. The waiter was local, and was both proud and knowledgable about the local heritage. That was as cool as the tasty oysters!... More

This is a beautiful restaurant in a great spot, on a wooded hillside above a rushing creek. The food is excellent, the oysters on the half shell melt in you mouth, and the service is great. I hope this place is around for a long time.

We visit Washington at least once a year to see the grandchildren and always stop on Chuckanut drive for lunch or dinner driving north from Seattle. This year we had another afternoon to kill so we drove back to try the Oyster Creek Inn which we had driven by but never ventured in. Suffice to say, we will not return... More

My husband and I are locals. We dined here because it was his birthday and we wanted an intimate, relaxed, and quiet environment that served seafood. The owners have a reputation for providing quality food and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere was lovely with white tablecloths, flowers, candles, and an exceptional collection of local art. This is not a... More

We drove up the Chuckanut before dinner, saw a spectacular sunset, and then had an amazing dinner here. Really a perfect night. The owners are warm and inviting and very excited about their food. Which they should be. Everything was fantastic. We had the oyster sampler, the clams, and the duck confit. It was a very memorable meal, and we... More

The food is perfect and the service is really great as well. We had the Dungeness crab ravioli, the Halibut, gnocchi and the scallop risotto special. It was all really fantastic. We finished up with the plum bread pudding in a whiskey caramel sauce. You should really go here, it is exceptional.
