RockCreek Seafood & Spirits

was great to have Rock Creek open again. Food was good, but not exceptional. Was on deck, so was quieter than it has sometimes been inside.

RockCreek is our second choice over its sister, Flintcreek, which isn't open yet. We've been twice in two weeks - lovely to have a good meal in a nice restaurant.

This was my first time having dinner at RockCreek, and it certainly won't be my last! Knowledgable and attentive staff helped me and a friend navigate the menu to select what was best for us. The food itself could not have been better (the mussels bruschetta was a hit, don't skip it!), the drinks were delightful and the deck couldn't be beat. I cant wait to return.

I recommend starting with the “Kari-out calamari. Lots of crispy calamari with Asian vegetables and sauce, served in a carry out box. It’s plenty for two. I love the Opah made with Cajun sauce and creamy grits. There are some excellent vegetarian and meat choices as well, but the emphasis is ion beautiful fresh fish.
I would like a more generous glass of wine and cocktail. I thought they were pretty small.

Every dish I had (small plate, salad and entree) was great and that's rare. Even the cocktail was yummy! Server was very friendly and helpful. If there was one downside, I prefer to go before it gets really busy because the noise level picks up, making it harder to hear or having to talk louder. I sat inside both times. Will go back regardless.

Absolutely my favorite Seattle restaurant - hands down! Every bite is heaven :)

My friend and I first discovered RockCreek in Aug 2020. We were impressed by the quality of food, service, setup for air circulation, distancing, practices to sure everyone is safe. Definitely a hidden neighborhood gem!

Overall a wonderful experience, great food and service. Highly recommend saving room for the key lime pie!! 😋

The food and service at Rock Creek are outstanding. The tuna tartare is incredible, and the Icelandic Char was a treat. We just returned from a vacation in Hawaii, and the meal at Rock Creek was far better than any fresh fish dish we had on the island.

I'd have left a stellar review anyway, but the beignets on-the-house sealed the deal! Best restaurant in Seattle, hands down! Been coming for years, never had an even remotely mediocre bite. My wife and I expressed to each other that everything just perfectly melts with each bite, no matter the dish, apps-small plates-main-dessert. I made Mother's Day reservations as soon as we were back from our last dinner here if that's any indication of my/our affinity.

Excellent food and service, as always!!!

Fantastic seafood which isn't easily found in Seattle!

Everything was superb, from the butter with the bread service to the crispy skin Icelandic char. We had smooth buttery oysters and beautifully mixed cocktails. Excellent and attentive service. Will definitely be returning.

Food service and ambience were all superb. We enjoyed arctic char, lamb Ragu, mackerel, excellent cocktails and a creative dessert. Will be back as soon as the governor allows it!

Amazing food and service! Everything was so flavorful and fresh.

Simply the best! I love the food, ambiance and everything about this restaurant!

I really like this establishment and have always had a great meal! This last time was disappointing because I looked at the takeout menu prior to going and was told 2 of the items listed were not available and the menu had not been updated since prior to COVID. I highly suggest updating the menu items to ones that are available.

Great food and service!

We made a reservation via Open Table. When we arrived they did not have record of the reservation. They had run into this problem before with other folks who had multiple Open Table accounts. They were kind enough to let us know what happened and were able to seat us at a table in the bar.
Excellent service by the hostess!
At the bar, Cody was the bartender and our server. Super friendly and helpful with our menu questions and makes a great cocktail!
The food was excellent as usual. We were especially happy with the Prawns and the Sea Bass.
Definitely going back!

Wonderful meal and service!

Got tiny table by the stairs, so a lot of foot trafic, kind of uncomfortable. The table was not big enough for the plates we ordered, having wine glasses on top also makes it cumbersome. Food was ok, we had the octopus and calamari, both very good. The tuna tartar was just ok.

If you make a reservation, make sure to get a table for 4, otherwise you can get stuck with a tiny table.

Waitress and hostess are very friendly and courteous.

Never a bad meal or a missed step at Rockcreek. Everything you want and more for an elevated neighborhood spot.

Amazing food! We had oysters, 2 small plates and one main dish. Service was fantastic. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic!

Both classic & unique takes on seafood. All super fresh, balanced (mostly) & some truly inventive dishes. Tried multiple offerings. Get oysters! Tartare had bit too much horseradish but we'll forever add it when making tuna @ home. Octopus & lamb excellent. Service exceptional! Only misstep was 'happy anniversary' @ very end vs start & no accompanying special treat from kitchen or bar. Regardless, we'd go back!

I have been at this restaurant many time, the food is delicious light but with lots of flavor.

I know times are tough during Covid but having a table right by the stair case and front door really ruined our special birthday celebration. It’s really poor service to sit someone with a reservation at the worst table in the restaurant yet walk ins get nicer more safe tables.

The tuna tartare was ruined by the spice level. You could taste the fish at all just the peppers. I wouldn’t recommend that.

Interesting cocktails. I had the Pheasant tail, a very complex Manhattan with ginger liqueur.

Excellent food and drinks menu, on the expensive side but worth it!

Incredible seafood & drinks! Great place for a first date, birthday, anniversary, or place to pop the question???

We had a lovely dinner at RockCreek. The cocktails, food, service, and ambiance were all top notch. Must try their oysters, that was probably our favorite bite! We did find the corkage fee high, but maybe that's standard in Seattle. Overall, highly recommend!

Wonderful experience over all, best oysters rockerfellers, or “Brockafellers” as they call them I’ve ever had. Knowledgeable staff, and all considering the pandemic, an enjoyable evening out.

Delicious food. Great service. Mask-wearing and social-distancing. A little bit cold inside, but overall great experience.

Best seafood in Seattle, hands down! Just love this place, it never disappoints!

Their happy hour tuna with an Old Fashioned or two is the bomb, then we split an appetizer and an entree and we are set. Having been going their for years.

This was my second experience at Rock Creek. The food is phenomenal and so is the environment. I will keep coming back!

Love this place, the staff, and their vibe. Always fun, delicious, and good for brunch and dinner. The food is consistently good year after year and the staff (many of whom have been there for a long time) know how to treat you like royalty.

the food and drinks were outstanding. Had the mackerel salad, octopus, pasta with lamb ragu and rockfish and shellfish stew. every bite delicious, but real kudos go to the management and staff. Working under these covid restrictions is difficult enough, but they did it with professionalism and courtesy.

I ordered the lamb pasta dish, threw it up later that night. Was there for an anniversary, they did nothing to make it special.

One of the best experiences I’ve had! The food was incredible and I can’t wait to go back.
