About
About Blueacre Seafood
Blueacre Seafood is the Pacific Northwest oyster bar Bellevue diners drive downtown for — a rotating raw-bar menu with oysters from Hood Canal, Willapa Bay, and Totten Inlet, plus a kitchen that treats regional seafood with respect rather than trend. Come for the shellfish tower, stay for the wood-grilled fish and a proper martini.
Highlights
What makes it special
- Rotating raw bar with Washington oysters from named farms
- Shellfish towers and Dungeness crab in season
- Wood-grilled Pacific Northwest fish with regional produce
What you'll experience
The visit, in detail
The raw bar is the anchor: ask the shucker which farms are running that morning and build a plate of six or twelve. From the kitchen, cedar-planked salmon and butter-poached halibut arrive with sides that read Northwest — nettle pesto, chanterelles in season, roasted local squash — paired with a wine list built for shellfish.
Best time
When to visit
Happy hour 3–6 pm for buck-a-shuck oysters weekdays; dinner reservations best after 7 pm.

Know before you go
Oyster selection changes daily — ask what's peak. Bar seating is first-come and often the best seat for solo diners. Valet at neighboring garages; validate at host.
