   I had a great first time experience at Elliot oyster house for my fiancés bday and she enjoyed herself as well. Our waiter was named Jacob and he gave us outstanding service, he deserves a raise. I will be back soon.

   Worst meal I’ve ever had in Seattle! They say they’re the best seafood restaurant in America - I’m not even sure what that means. Food was so subpar and overpriced. Everyone we told we went there said it’s a ripoff. And we were forced to pay a 20% gratuity for 2 people. Presentation of food could have been done better by a 2 year old. Flavours were basic and bland. Nothing that would warrant the prices we paid. Please save your money! Even our Uber driver said we’d have had a better meal at Ivars! I’d get a better meal at a fast food restaurant than I did wasting almost $300 on a ribeye, 2 drinks and 2 appetizers. Yup - that’s how much it was (we shared the ribeye thinking it was going to be huge - nope)

   My family visited the restaurant for a birthday dinner The birthday person asks for a sangria to drink but was told the restaurant didn’t make that drink. Then my other guests asked for a Pinot Grigio wine but was told you don’t have that wine.. the birthday guest wanted oysters Rockefeller but that item was no longer available . At the end of the night my family and I ended up settling for the items that were offered to us. For the almost $500 price we paid the food was mediocre. My salmon I had was mostly dry. Needless to say we will not be back.

   Was suggested to go here. It was fair. Not bad. Fair. BUT I’m hat 20% tip for the restaurant…. That’s BS. I demanded it come off. If I lived here, I would never come back for that reason only. My server Jason was FABULOUS!!! He saved the experience.

   These were the best crab and oysters (including phenomenal fried ones) we had ever had. Our waiter was truly outstanding: helpful, jovial, and knowledgeable; overall truly remarkable. We hope to be back!

   Very tasty dishes. Crab crusted halibut with corn is $51.00 and pricey for what it is. Oysters are very fresh. Recommend the clams as well.

    We made reservations weeks ago as we were coming from Vancouver island. The waiter was very blunt. We tried to order 6 different dishes as we kept being told they were out of each dish when we went to order, only to be told they were out of all 6 dishes we were interested in without even an apology. We were unable to order the dishes we wanted and the waiter didn’t apologize or even offer us a discount of some sort or a free desert for the dissappointing dinner.

    Beware of 20% Service Fee that the ownership charges. This is not fully shared with the staff, the waiters still rely on tips to make a living. Restaurant is overpriced to start with. Much better quality food available in Seattle for the same price or less. Service Fee is just a grab by unscrupulous and unethical owners

    It’s a tourist trap restaurant, but we really expected more based on the reviews. The food was marginal. Scallops were rubbery, risotto was gummy. Fish and chips was below average. Best thing we had was the poke small plate. It turns out that the restaurant adds a 20% service fee to your bill and unlike other restaurants, that 20% goes to the restaurant, not the servers! They claim the servers are paid a percentage of their gross sales, but didn’t say how much. When we were presented our bill our server said “tips aren’t expected but appreciated” which put me in an ambiguous position. I could have walked without adding gratuity, but didn’t want to penalize the server because the service was good. All in all, a unsatisfying dinner for the price.

    So disappointing and so boring. Service was poor and dull. Restaurant was dated, bland and looks like it is not maintained. Now the food. Again dissapointing. Salmon fritters were dry and was hard to find the salmon. Fish tacos barely had any fish on it. Parsley so wilted it looked like it was from a boarding school lunch room. Nashville hot fish sandwich sounded great but again, was small, and dull. Don't bother going. Not what they used to be.

    Perfect after a flight! If you’re a seafood lover and trying to go raw but uncertain of what your getting yourself into, look no further! The great staff here is well knowledgeable and more than willing to drop some knowledge to better educate you on the different taste of the sea. I always try oysters but never knew the differences etc. Eating here not only taught me more about culinary but also got me a new favorite spot to stop by whenever I’m in Seattle.

    They charge for bread. I repeat they charge for bread. Received cold soup, plastic piece in the crab cake, salmon was way undercooked. About 6 people inside. Other than the cool waterfront touristy location, go somewhere else.

    We made a reservation for 4 people and when the restaurant called to confirm, they said they only had a reservation for 2, even though our Open Table confirmation was clear. They also texted us a full 1/2 hr before our reservation time to tell us that our table was ready and we needed to let them know if we were on our way, and when we hustled there early, the restaurant was empty, so not sure why they were badgering us early to get seated? The food was decent, the fish and chips were especially good, and my husband had the clam chowder, which he said was too salty.

    Sub par food for the high price. Atlantic salmon special was drowned in a saucy mixture of mushrooms and veggies. Blackened fish plate was dry and super spicy even for blackened fish. Crab cakes were phenomenal and so was the sourdough bread. Panacotta dessert was awful. Scallop skewer was bland, overpriced and had only one decent sized scallop. The rest were tiny. Oysters were good but $8 a pair. Beware the automatic 20% service charge.

    Our night began by waiting 35 min for our cocktail (bourbon on the rocks) and then another 10 minutes for our appetizer. A request of salad dressing on the side did not happen, but the waitress did not check until after I was almost finished. Our dinners arrived when we were only about half way through our soup/ salad. The waitress did take my dinner back to the kitchen to keep it warm, but the halibut was dry by the time she returned it. We were offered a free dessert for compensation. For a restaurant that was highly rated, we were very disappointed in the food and service.

    We went here for the first time on 12/13/2022 due to a recommendation from several friends and to celebrate getting high grades after a relatively long semester. The server we had was fantastic and timed our food perfectly and had excellent suggestions. We had the oysters, clams, and had an order of the sturgeon and rockfish. They were all delicious but the best part was the sturgeon, which went really well with the peppercorn sauce. Definitely plan to go back again. Everything is on point from the service, food, to the location.

    I think with most places there are staffing issues. Table service was a little scarce and we had to ask for drinks, drink refills and no one came to refill our water. Clearing plates to a while and we had to ask for dessert menus. We just had to ask for everything and just wanted a little higher service. Oysters came without silverware. In the summer time I am sure this place is great but there are other places for seafood in the Seattle area I would recommend. This used to be our go to place for oysters.

    Waiter brought a wine I didn't order. Also brought it out 15 minutes after it was ordered. Waiter brought food I didn't order (and was defensive about the mistake -- tried to argue that it was an OK substitution for something that had run out). The "alaskan cod" fish & chips dish was overcooked. Overall terrible experience -- never going back.
