Elliott's Oyster House

Came here for dinner with mother and wife on a Saturday night. We were really impressed by the quality of the dishes here, even though they were a bit in the pricey. We ordered crab cakes, fried oysters, and mussels for appetizers. We really loved the oysters if that is your thing. But the grilled swordfish was the best! It was cooked perfectly and the meat was actually a lot tender than I expected: I would highly recommend the swordfish! We also ordered the grilled scallops which were super yummy too! Overall it is a great place for a special occasion!

In my personal opinion, I think the best oysters I've ever had was at Elliot's Oyster House. They have a wide array to choose from. If you're not too sure what you want, don't be afraid to ask your waiter. Our waiter was fantastic and chose a great selection for us ranging for salty to creamy. I didn't even know oysters could taste creamy! My friends and I only got the oysters, but we'll definitely have to come back to try the food. We went in without a reservation, but we didn't have to wait too long. We were able to spend the 20 minute wait by watching the sunset and ferris wheel. Elliot's has a perfect view of the ocean, and there's a secluded deck area behind the restaurant with tables to pass the time.

A great place for a stop while visiting the piers in Seattle. We chose Elliott’s specifically for the oysters and the did not disappoint. We had a smaller dozen. The waitress and oyster chef were so nice in inquiring about what we liked in an oyster and specifically gave us small oysters of a good salinity. The atmosphere is great. They include a 20% service charge and they are very transparent about this and who it goes to. The hamachi pastrami was simply phenomenal. We will be back.

What I appreciate most about this place besides how stellar the food was, is their transparency about the service fee. There is a short description about it at the bottom of the menu, but when you take a look at their website they describe more about where the service charge goes, and the commission/hourly rate for their employees. They don’t pressure you to tip, because the employees are pretty well compensated for their jobs. They do leave a disclaimer that if you feel the service wasn’t worth the 20% service fee that they can reduce or remove it from your check, but we were very impressed with our server Dante, and how knowledgeable he was so we didn’t find it necessary to ask for them to remove the fee. We went with the Caesar salad and some oysters for our appetizer, I’m not super knowledgeable about different types of Oysters so Dante recommended some different types for me to try. For our main course I got the seafood pasta which had the perfect variety and amount of seafood, and my husband got the Ribeye steak, which was immaculately cooked including the sear on the outside. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Such a fun little place. There were only 2 of us but we wanted to sit outside, so they put us at a communal fire pit table with another group of people, but it wasn’t too crowded. They sat on one end and we sat on the other. The food itself was really yummy- highly recommend the spicy grab chowder ! Jason was our waiter and he was really knowledgeable of the menu and had several suggestions. He was really great. It was a little pricey- but overall you’re paying for the experience of being on the water.

Was expecting more Food: The clams were amazing!!! I would only get back because of the clams, so fresh! the rest of the food was just okay (salmon was dry, friends did not provide good feedback about the fish and chips and rest of the plates) Service: The host was so nice and did the best to accommodate us. The waitress looked like he did not eanted to be there and was a little annoyed when I mentioned some food restrictions in my diet. Either way, a 20% service was charged no matter what Ambience. We sat down inside, which looked like any other restaurant. However, outside, they have a place by the water, really pretty for early dinner. It's just an okay place for everything except for the amazing clams
