Every part of our dinner was amazing. Our waiter Tom was nice, genuine and helpful. One of the best we have ever had in the US. The food was worth every single dollar we paid. Grab cakes were scrumptious. Seafood pasta with pecorino was delightful, oysters were fresh and Toms recommendations were exactly what we wanted. Spent amazing 2 h seating outside with a glass of Pinot Grigio. Highly recommend
Delicious food with a great view. I came on Wednesday June 11, 2025 and had lunch outside with a gorgeous view of the water. The oysters were incredibly fresh and each had their own unique taste. I also had the seafood pasta which was also amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
Of course the views can't be beat and my waiter was incredible. I just had a light lunch here ..the raw bar and Alaskan crab and veggies. The drinks were sensational as well. They probably have the BEST raw bar I've experienced on the West Coast in terms of quality, freshness and variety—from sweet to briny, plump or silky, East and West Coast catches, just amazing! The best thing to do while you're here is people watch OF COURSE! They also have charter boats next door where you can sit on the deck enjoying your food and watch all the tourists board the boats to explore the Puget Sound. It's Seattle, but was a beautiful, SUNNY weekend afternoon so I felt incredibly lucky! There's no doubt I'll be back! Incredible experience, thank you!
We stopped by here due to the convenience, views, and seafood. We were caught off guard when we saw the posted 20% service fee at the hostess station, but we were not surprised because we had become accustomed to Seattle prices, charging for bags and the sugar tax. We were seated immediately on the indoor deck, which had clear pull-down windows and views of the docks and the water. Rebekah was a great server, and I felt bad that part of her initial greeting was explaining the complexity of the service fee, staff compensation, and tipping. I ordered something childish: a cocktail and seafood pasta. The seafood in the pasta included Pacific tin fish, prawns, mussels, and clams, and it was the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had. My son had the sweet Alaskan bairdi, which he said was wonderful. Indoor and covered deck seating. The inside was loud when I walked through to the restroom. Excellent service. My water glass was refilled several times without request and was never empty. Cloth napkins and nice silverware. Pricy. I would recommend it, but be ready to pay up.
Really good quality and fresh seafood options. Worth the price and fighting through tourists to get in. Great oysters with a large local selection. Solid clam chowder and fish sandwich, always a sucked for both of those. They have a good happy hour special on discounted oysters if you can't stomach the price.
Oyster selection was excellent. We went on a Saturday afternoon, the weather was great on the patio, and our server Ryan was very helpful. Ryan suggested a couple each of different oysters since there were so many options. We liked the Alaskan Gems so much, we ordered another 6 of those! Also, clams and clam chowder was good, too, everything tasted fresh. Overall, quite pricey but food quality was great and drinks were made well. Would definitely recommend if you want a variety of different local oysters.
Great food, amazing view, awesome service. We were told how amazing Elliott’s is and our experience did not disappoint! Walking in we were greeted very warm and friendly. The hostess answered several of our questions while we waited to be seated. Once seated our server, Nick, did an exemplary job of describing the oyster options. Being my wife’s first time trying them, Nick explained each one and the flavor we could expect. He gave tips on the best way to “shoot” the oyster and what she needed to do if she found the taste unappealing. As we moved in to select main dishes, Nick’s knowledge continued to impress. He knew specifics about each dish and where the respective seafood came from. Nick was truly a great help and a lot of fun to interact with. The food is simply amazing! The oysters are phenomenal and they have different types to suite your palate. The mussels, halibut, and black cod that we ordered were delectable! Finally, the dessert served as the cherry on a wonderful experience!
I came through around lunch and the location is beautiful. The hostess sat me very quickly and was really nice. Their menu had a lot to offer, unfortunately I'm scared of raw oysters and was very happy to find one charbroiled option on their menu. The service was a little slow getting to me and the only reason why it's a 4 and not a 5 (was sitting there for almost 20 minutes before someone took my order, though the support staff did bring me a glass of water - and refills- while I waited). I would probably not go back on lunch because of the time concerns, but it was lovely and delicious food.
