We had such a wonderful experience at this seafood spot! The food was absolutely delicious,, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every bite was a treat. Our server was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. We chose to sit outside, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The weather was ideal, and the outdoor seating area was comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for excellent seafood and great service in a lovely setting!

We had out of town guests and wanted to give them a classic Seattle seafood experience. Elliott’s, while expensive, did not disappoint. Everything was excellent and Rebecca our server did an excellent job!

Bad. From food being over cooked, really bad for seafood. To adding a mandatory 20 percent gratuity which they only give 12 percent of to the server. Which means the food price just went up 8 percent and I also feel like I need to add more for the server, and I did because normally tip at least 25 percent. It was only myself and my husband. Would definitely 10/10 NOT RECOMMEND.

Clam chowder, oysters and halibut were the stars of the show - with the clam chowder being the best we had in Seattle. (and we had it every day at a variety of places). The Alder-Planked Roasted Alaskan Salmon was good, but overcooked. All-in-all, good place with good food and service.

Our experiences the past few visits have been amazing. We dined for Mothers Day brunch and our server Daniel was amazing. Great menu knowledge, positive attitude and overall amazing guest service. We've ordered the King crab legs every visit and are always very content, the crab cakes are also to die for, and this last visit the white fish mango ceviche was exquisite! The best part of our visits has been the attentiveness and care we've received from the FOH supervisor Vince. We are very fond of Elliots and will continue to be committed patrons for as long as the commitment to quality and service remain. Thank you!
