Went to the waterfront today to play tourist and came across Elliott's. Stopped in for lunch and sat outside on the deck. We started with a couple of non alcoholic drinks that were very refreshing. For lunch we ordered the long cod and chips and rye crab and shrimp melt. The long cod was nice and moist and flaky. It paired well with the tater sauce. The order also came with a generous portion of French Fries and homemade coleslaw that was nice and creamy. The crab and shrimp melt was also delicious with a nice rich flavor. Our waiter, Hunter, provided excellent service and made great entree suggestions. This is a great place to eat and to take in the beauty of Puget Sound. read more

Was in town for work and decided to take a walk on the pier. Ended up landing here to grab some oysters! They also had great reviews on Yelp which is always helpful. Greetings at the door were kind of awkward can't explain how or why, it just was lol. Since it was just myself, I opted to sit at the bar. Found seating at the oyster bar. Was greeted pretty quickly by Brandon. Service from waitstaff was kind of on the slower side (I had to grab my own menus since some time had passed... not sure if this was supposed to be handed to me at the front or not), it also took a bit to get my order and tab. But once i ordered the food came out pretty quickly (just got oysters, a beer, and chowder). But my waiter was def super friendly! Could've just been an off night. I think the saving grace here for my experience was Brandon! Glad I opted to sit at the oyster bar. This was my first time into Seattle, therefore first time visiting Elliot's. Appreciated the tidbits of knowledge he dropped regarding the oysters - honestly made me appreciate it more! Had him pick 6 different ones since I didn't have any context of the different species of oysters. Chatting with Brandon also felt like catchin up with an old friend. The oysters were delish! Super fresh and my favorite was the shigoku. The amount of oyster choices they had were overwhelming, in a good way! The spicy crab and corn chowder was also bomb, which was also recommended by Brandon as I was originally just going to try the classic/regular one. Id totally come back here again next time in town. read more

Decided to do happy hour at Elliot's! Two of us ordered: black raven hazy $7 sauv blanc $8 ahi poke tacos $8 HH oysters were $2.50. We tried all of them on the list. The "deer creek" one was the best one! Kumamoto was a bit disappointing $5 ea Miyagi was a better premium one $4 ea Auto 20% service charge. Staff was friendly...didn't catch their name. Some oysters had a bit of shell/sand in them. Nice ambiance inside. Walked from hotel. Street parking only or probably a garage nearby. read more

We're back at Elliott's Oyster House after a many many years, and wow, what an upgrade. The space has been updated beautifully and feels more upscale while still being inviting. Service was excellent from start to finish. We felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of the entire time. Of course, we came for the oysters, and they did not disappoint. We worked our way through almost the entire list, ordering by the dozen, and ended up finishing three dozen between the three of us. Each one was incredibly fresh and truly tasted like the ocean. We also tried the seabass and ceviche, both of which were delicious, but honestly, it's hard to beat the freshness and quality of their oysters. Keep it up, Elliott's! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Seattle. read more

Elliott's Oyster Bar is a great spot to dine in for oysters! We sat at the bar and found a very knowledgeable oyster shucker! Came in at night time without a reservation, so they asked if we would be ok with sitting at the bar which had all the oysters on display. So we were fine with that and glad we got to hang out with the person who helped us learn more about the different oysters they were carrying at the time! We literally only ate different types of oysters, and they were displayed very well on the plate! Overall the service, standard, and getting a little note for which oyster was which, was an awesome experience! read more

I came here for my birthday during lunch to celebrate with a couple of coworkers. We seated in the back section and our server was Griffin. He's very knowledgeable on oysters and honestly a lot of different topics which made for a very fun and entertaining lunch & learn! We quite enjoyed his company. We all have three oysters each: Indigo, Shinsei & my favorites Kumamoto. But in the end, I realize that I really love the indigo oyster!! if ever you see that at a restaurant I had to recommend that you order them! For lunch, so I ordered the grilled prawns which came with a rich and flavorful risotto ! 5/5 I would definitely order that again. It was so delicious. The risotto was cooked just right and the prawns were huge! I also paired my meal with a very nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc. I typically don't order dessert either, but Griffin came out with an amazing crème brûlée for my birthday. My coworkers ended up ordering a carrot cake, which was very moist and delicious. The ambience of the restaurant was very inviting with lots of rich wood texture and comfortable seating. If you're able to get a booth in the back, you can see Pier 56 and the water. Especially on a nice day the view is spectacular. Overall, you just can't go wrong dining at Elliott's! read more

Come here for the oysters/raw shellfish and everything else is missable. Oyster bar is probably the most impressive I've ever see with dozens of varietals. Shoutout to David, our server, who knew SO MUCH and had clearly guided many people through choosing the right oysters for them. Prices are a bit expensive ($4/oyster). Good wine list as well. read more

Came here for the food and signature cocktails and honestly everything was so good I forgot to even take pictures. The cocktails were well balanced and unique, and the food was excellent from start to finish. Jeremy made the experience even better. He was very friendly, welcoming, and took the time to explain the menu and drinks in detail without making it feel rushed. You can tell he really knows the menu and cares about the guest experience.

Went here for Happy Hour (2:30pm-4:30pm, M-F at bar & lounge until Memorial Day). The hostess asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or at a table by the window. We picked the table because I just can't miss out on a view of the water, even if it's on the side of the building! I love raw oysters so I had to take advantage of the oyster deal for happy hour. There were two types- Little Skookum or Samish Pearl, for $2.50 each. Got six of each. I thought it was really cool that the menu included that the oysters were "beach" and "tumbled"... I had to look up what those terms meant and it opened my eyes to a whole new world of knowledge in oysters... but anyway back to the review... When the oysters arrived, they were on an ice tray with mignonette, lemon, and what I thought at first was pink salt. No mini spoon for mignonette so we just poured it onto our oysters and/or used our forks. The oysters were shucked well, delicious, and that "pink salt" wasn't salt... it was something like a melon flavored shaved ice... and it was amazing on the oysters!! I wish I had asked the waiter what exactly the stuff was, but I loved it. The mignonette was awesome, too. Also tried a few HH cocktails: Martini- ($10) You can choose between vodka or gin, my partner went with gin. The server asked how he wanted it, and he was able to get it "dirty" for no extra charge. I tried it too and it was definitely one of the better martinis I've ever had. Blush Crush- ($10) The description mentioned many floral elements, and strawberry infused vodka. While it tasted good, all I could taste was strawberry. I like floral flavors so I was disappointed in this. Champagne Tears- ($8) This was described as the "oyster pairing cocktail." It even had mignonette in the ingredient list. I LOVED THIS DRINK. I can't describe well what it tasted like... but it was a subtle salty & sweet something that was just so smooth and pleasant. I wish I had the recipe to make this at home. Ah yes can't forget, we also had the HH Tequila Lime Mussels ($7). While both the tequila and lime flavors didn't come through, the mussels were wonderful and plenty, and the creamy broth was great. The bread it came with was just enough to sop it up. I will say, the service was slow, but luckily we had nowhere to be anytime soon afterwards. If we did, it might've bothered me more. Also, the automatic 20% gratuity included in the check was mentioned before we even sat down, so it wasn't a surprise- but I'm not sure I'm happy with that style of charging the customer. Our server was wonderful and did not pressure us to tip anymore (although it is an option). Overall we had a great experience, and I'd recommend giving Happy Hour here a try! read more

The food was well prepared, the right temperature and the prescription was pleasing to the eye. We had great company and it was a friend's sharing. The server stated out a little iterate, however, after chatting with her and seeing she had something going on we were able to get her to interact directly. Sometime grace is the theme. Tha place was nice and the scenery was nice. read more

I was not impressed and feel it was so overpriced. We had the fish and chips and the kids cheeseburger. A lot of fries and the fish had a lot of batter. Weird smell in the restaurant as well. Service was great though and the location very pretty but I wish I spent money somewhere else wheee it was worth it. For 3 meals it was 80 bucks and 20% service fee included automatically. I wouldn't go back. I later tried Vons, song almost twice as much and wish I started there. read more

We went for happy hour and it did not disappoint! Keep in mind: they only have about 15ish dedicated tables to happy hour so you may have to wait. We got lucky and didn't but that is something to keep in mind. We got oysters, crab leg, ceaser salad, and the crab corn chowder. Service was decent but the restaurant itself was huge. The view of the water was also beautiful! Would definitely recommend their happy hour. Street parking wasn't too bad when we went. read more

Came into this place cause my husband and I were craving oysters and seen this place on TikTok. We weren't sure which oysters to order but we only order what we saw on social media which was the Kumamoto and the waiter ordered the rest for us. We also got the clam chowder which was solid. Overall good experience overall but it was just average. The staff were all kind as well! read more

I love oysters so when I walked pass Elliott's I couldn't say no. I'm a tourist and have never heard of them. I literally went in because I read oyster house. I went in and our server was really nice. Very knowledgeable on what's available and helped me decide which oysters I should try based on the preferences I told him. I loved how the oysters came with a card labeled with the type of oysters they were because i ended up ordering a second set. I loved the sea theme it was so cute. Overall tourist trap or not I'd come back. Great experience here. read more

This was the second time here as I very much enjoyed it the last time I was here 3 years ago. There was about a 30 minute wait, so I suggest making a reservation. We ordered some oysters, crab cakes, and some fish dish. The white wine was amazing, and the meals were all cooked perfectly and amazing. The service was amazing and even the views from this place were amazing. I know I'll be back every-time I'm in the area! read more

Exceptional customer service and an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The oyster selection was impressive! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The champagne offerings were equally fantastic, pairing perfectly with the meal. The entrée was a standout: scallops or prawns served over risotto, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and well-executed. Overall, a truly great experience. This is a place I would happily return to again and again. read more

This was my second visit to Elliott's, located right on Pier 56 along the Seattle waterfront. As expected, the place was packed, but we lucked out and snagged three seats at the oyster bar for our party of three. Service started a little slow since David, the oyster chef, let us know we couldn't order directly from him and needed to go through a server. But David went above and beyond, he tracked down our server right away and made sure we were well taken care of. Big shout-out to him! He was friendly, chatty, and full of great recommendations, even giving us a list of places to check out on our next trip while we mentioned we were visiting family. The oysters, as always here, were excellent and fresh. What stood out the most were the salty little Olympia oysters which are native to Washington and hands down our favorite of the night. They had the perfect briny, salty-sweet balance that was just chef's kiss. We loved them so much, we ended up ordering more. If you're a seafood lover, especially an oyster fan then Elliott's is a must! They showcase a wide variety of oysters and highlight Pacific Northwest seafood beautifully. A true seafood classic and a Seattle icon! read more

Grilled Scallops and Prawns - 5 stars Grilled Alaskan Halibut - 5 stars Dungeness Crab Cakes - 5 stars Bakers Potato Bread - 4 stars Elliot's Oyster House is a top-tier seafood spot with a stunning waterfront and city lights view that make the meal feel special from start to finish. Service was excellent, our waiter was fun, witty, and flexible, even adjusting menu selections to suit our tastes. The seafood was outstanding across the board. Both the Grilled Scallops and Prawns and the Grilled Alaskan Halibut were served over perfectly cooked, flavorful risotto, making each bite rich and satisfying. The Dungeness Crab Cakes were equally impressive, and the Baker's Potato Bread was fresh and tasty. The only minor downside was a 20% service charge that wasn't clearly explained--it wasn't obvious whether it replaced a tip or was separate. Otherwise, the combination of impeccable seafood, attentive service, and breathtaking views makes Elliot's a memorable experience. read more

This was a really wonderful and memorable meal! Our server was attentive and helpful - he enticed non-oyster enthusiasts to try some out, and they were really good! The ambience was also really nice and cozy. Food was good - we got the tequila mussels to start and I got the prawn scampi special and my husband got the seafood pasta. They also have a nice wine list and cocktail menu. I loved it all, but found the prices to be a bit high, but that seems to be the case at every restaurant I've been to in Seattle. read more

Food tastes great, slow service, expect long wait time. Made a reservation for 7pm, got there at 6:50pm, and got to our table at 7:15pm. The restaurant was very busy on a Monday night. We did not enjoy waiting for 15 min after our reservation time to be seated. There is a limit to 24 oysters per table, ranged from 4-5 dollar per oyster. Loved the Miyagis! Also came with a variety of sauce and palette cleanser. All the oysters were fresh. The main courses were average (scallop and fish and chips), but took a long time to be prepared. Would recommend sticking with the oysters! Would come back if service was faster, felt like they needed more waiters. They also charge a mandatory 20% service fee for parties of all sizes, which was disappointing as I would've expected better service with this fee. read more

Elliott's Oyster House - oysters - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It goes without saying that seafood is in the cards when visiting Seattle. This meal was one of my family's "splurge" meals as my dear auntie decided to foot the bill. (Thanks auntie!) Located near Pier 55 by the ferry boat tours, Elliott's Oyster House can easily be casted off as a tourist trap. However, the food was delicious and the service we received was attentive, so don't let the location deter you. I'd also highly suggest making reservations as dinner gets really busy. (We had to detour and come back for lunch instead.) To start, our server Jeremiah gave us details on oysters. As a beginner, the TAYLOR KUMAMOTO was suggested. We also got a few MIRAMICHI for those at our table that were more initiated into the mollusk game. I got the GRILLED PRAWNS entree, which was excellent! Three plump prawns plated on a bed of RISOTTO. Every bite was rich and packed with flavor. Loved it. To drink, I had a coconut and mango infused cocktail. I believe it was called GOLDEN GIRLS, though it seems they have a rotating cocktail menu. We all had a few bites of their house-made CARROT CAKE, which was pretty good. Side note: They do have a weird gratuity system. 20% is already included in the bill, but if you read the disclaimer, it doesn't all go to the server, so it puts the customer in an awkward position when they try to explain it. I believe servers only get 12% of it. read more

We were in Seattle for only one night and asked our hotel for recommendations and one of the places that they gave was Elliot's... after dining here I wish we would've picked somewhere else. We called and they said there was no wait but by the time we got there we had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated and sadly the food was not worth the wait. Both the risotto with the scallops and shrimp and chicken marsala were not hot. Filet mignon was not cooked as requested. The service took so long we didn't want to wait for this to be remade so we didn't say anything. I would skip this place unless you strictly coming for oysters. They do have a great variety of oysters and we appreciated that they gave a card so you knew what was what. The tipping is interesting at this place. They do include a 20% tip automatically but our server let us know that only 60% of that will go to him and there is an option to leave more... we did leave more but the whole thing felt a little guilt-tripped. With only one night in Seattle, this was a miss. read more

Elliott's Oyster House - Grilled Scallops & Prawns* cold risotto and 2 pieces of each shrimp and scallops.... Not worth over $50 - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It was our last night in Seattle, so we decided to splurge a bit (a lot!) at the iconic Elliott's Oyster House. I highly recommend sitting in their covered patio, which offers a great view of Puget Sound at sunset. So first, their oyster menu is overwhelming with 30 types of oysters. We decided to let our waiter choose 5 types (2 each) for us. When the oysters arrived, they were arranged in a progressive order and our waiter explained what each one was. Wow, who knew oysters were so complex! Then the food arrives and everything was cooked to perfection. Our waiter shelled the lobster tail table-side and out came the largest lobster tail I've ever seen. The salmon and mahi mahi were very fresh and had great flavor. The meal was delicious and also an incredible experience. This is the way to treat yourself. read more

Unfortunately this wasn't a great meal this time around. The ambiance and view are great. Waitstaff was very attentive but the meals fell short. I went with the waiters recommendation for the balsamic rockfish. The pesto tomato side was delicious but the fish was a bit dry and flavorless. Very disappointing for the price. My friend got the shrimp scampi. The shrimp was good but the sauce was soo garlicky it was too much. Very mediocre. Maybe would come back for oysters and crab but not the reg entrees. But brut champagne was delicious! read more

After much bar hunting with my coworkers around 3pm ish we quickly realized that many places shut down before 5pm dinner, thanks to Yelp I found Elliott's and was delighted to enjoy "oyster happy hour". Sadly we waited a solid 5-10 minutes before any server even came to our table (we were told only certain tables were allowed to enjoy Oyster Happy Hour - weird but whatever). After finally ordering bread, cocktails I thought the brown derby was not bad... somehow the QR code version of the hR menu showed a white wine but my coworker was charged $15 a glass when the menu showed $10- they honoured the menu price but again... weird kinda disorganized experience which you would not expect when you walk in at first glance (I expected more with this sort of a). Regardless the oysters were great, we each tried one of each as shown on our list; Idk WHY both both my coworker and I had a lil cough-fit after eating the "wild cat" Hilarious... but our server was nice enough to "replace" them after everyone kept saying "maybe they were bad!" Kinda worried me but I did not get sick afterwards so - yay! Overall 3.5 stars because initial impression/slow service is always a bummer when you're thirsty and hungry, but we ended up alright. read more

417. I had recently moved to Seattle and finally got a chance to explore the city with family in town. We decided to venture to the waterfront. We ordered a bunch of seafood including crab cakes, white clam chowder bowl, and oysters. Crab cakes were okay. Chowder was better. Oysters were solid. Service was good, but it was a confusing turn off to see gratuity automatically added on the bill with the server adding that they don't receive the automatic gratuity, only additional gratuity given on top of that. Um, what? Elliott's definitely gives off tourist vibes, but it's one of those places that you just gotta visit once. Bonus points if you can grab a seat on the patio or near the windows. Can't beat eating seafood by the ocean. read more

I will start if by saying this restaurant is in a prime location on the pier of downtown Seattle. Beautiful views, the restaurant has amazing design features and a very homey vibe. Our waiter Amaru was the BEST! He was so well versed with the menu and his suggestions were on point. The oyster sampler was great. I honestly am not one for raw oysters but I thought I'd give them a shot being close to the coast. Some of the best oysters I've ever tasted here at Elliot's. They live up to the name for sure. I will say that Amaru's recommendations were the best out of all of the oysters I tried. Moving along to the main course the salmon was so fresh! The perfect sear gave it a nice textured crust yet still light and flakey texture. The veggies were cooked very well. The asparagus was grilled very well and lightly seasoned. The red pepper, zucchini and squash were grilled to the best texture and seasoning. As you can see my happy plate. I enjoyed every bite of this meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in Seattle rather for a visit or just looking for good seafood. read more

Great location on the water! Came here because it was the highest rated restaurant by the pier (others were all 3 star). Chose to sit outside to enjoy the view during golden hour. Our server Erica gave a great introduction and great recommendations. She also told us what everything in the duo sampler was. Very much deserved the mandatory 20% tip. Garlic manila clam: 5/5 Generous serving size. Use the sourdough bread to soak up all that yummy fresh clam juice. So flavorful! Also not a speck of sand or dirt. Shellfish Duo: 5/5 Great selection of raw shellfish, including oysters, scallops, crab claws, shrimp. 2 of each except the oysters which were 4! Loved the seasonings too. Seabass cheek piccata: 4.5/5 Sooo yummy. So garlicky so flavorful. The cheek was really good. The seabass meat was a little too overcooked and chewy. The sauce was good for dipping bread in too. Smoked salmon spinach salad: 4/5 Smoked salmon was really good just wish there was more! Double R Ranch Ribeye: 5/5 Perfect medium rare. Not much else to say. The asparagus was great and so were the potatoes. read more
