Currently, all our seating is indoors, and we provide a unique experience in the heart of downtown Petaluma, nestled in the historic and beautiful Hotel Petaluma.

To ensure we can accommodate all of our guests, we kindly ask that table seating is limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes for parties of 2-4 and 2 hours for parties of 5+ or more.
While reservations are recommended, we do have an 18 seat first come, first served bar and hightop table selection for walk-in guests.

We LOVE the Shuckery and go at least once a month. The Film Noir cocktail is the best. We had the short ribs dinner last night that we were not thrilled with but the salads are always very good. I think its best just to stick to fish dishes.

Went for happy hour and it was early (3:30 pm) and not busy. Oysters were fresh and excellent and even though we got brought the wrong menu item, it was a delicious accidental substitution and we accepted it as something the universe intended. Very happy and we will always go back for happy hour.

It was overall a positive experience. Went there with a guest from Boston and we both enjoyed it. The oysters were excellent as was the whole fish. We totally devoured. We definitely will go there again.

We always come here for happy hour, it’s always a great time! We always get the two buck shuck and the cocktail spread of crab and shrimp! I will say they’re cocktails are okay, doesn’t taste as fresh as some other cocktails I’ve had but we enjoy it!

Food is always great. Prices are so expensive but I understand inflation is a real thing. The restaurant added a 4% living wage to the check which I thought had been outlawed (or banned) but I guess not?!?!

Food is very good. The mains are particularly good. Very noisy so not great if you want an intimate conversation.
