The celebration seafood platter was a nice size and variety, and the setting is lovely with outdoor seating on the pier. However, service was very slow & meals were mediocre. Too touristy, I think.

Alaskan king crab legs FTW
by Youssof M.
Oysters great. Everything else meh. Tourist fare and prices. 👎🏼
by James A.
Seafood dishes and assortment of oysters
by James L
You can visit here for oysters for sure, but skip the others!
by Serdar M
IMHO bacon is an overkill for Rockefellers, that said cold seafood tower is totally worth its cost.

Touristy location but still carries an especially high variety of quality oysters
by Amy R.
Hockeye Salmon is fabulous and NOT farm raised.
by Dorothy R.
They don't offer bread with dinner. They charge extra for bread, weird.
by lindacher00
It's tourist season. Place is packed, staff is overworked and service is very, very slow. Food is adequate, nothing spectacular.

Oysters were great, friendly staff and great spot in the sun by the water. Couldn't ask for more
by Anna M
Good food great view.
by David N
Beware. Oysters are not $1 for happy hour like menu says. But they are cheaper the earlier you go. However the food and the service was amazing! Calamari, fish tacos, and oysters are great.

Whomever said "best chowder in Seattle" oh yes, it is the best: try the Spicy crab & corn chowder. Ps, it ain't that spicy, mostly mild. Also, the grilled seafood salad, it is truly GRILLED!
by Nouf P
Grilled seafood salad was amazing!

What do you think? Oysters!
by Josh M
Here is the list. They have more oysters than the ocean but I'm about to change that. The champagne sorbet with the oysters makes a boy from the south almost forget cocktail sauce--almost

by Jack Zaw
You have to try the oysters! If your not sure what to order, just ask for a suggestion from your waiter. Best oysters!
by Heather B.
Chowder is good, well priced considering to waterfront restaurant
by Ria N.
Terrific oysters. Consistently good. Good outdoor seating over the water.
by Les Gee
$1/oyster happy hour! Get there early to get a table outside right by the water.
by Kimberly S.
The king salmon is sublime. The best I've ever had by a wide margin. Their oysters are also fantastic. Ask for Tony as your waiter, he bought me and my girlfriend a couple oysters.
by Samuel Y

Progressive happy hour. $1ea at 3pm and then they go up $0.50 each hour until 6pm
by Grace
All the iconic tastes of the Pacific Northwest are here—Dungeness crab, wild salmon, and, of course, oysters. The varieties of the rocky bivalves are reliably fresh—all local and sustainably caught.
by AFAR Media
Pleasantly surprised. Top notch seafood and oysters. Excellent service (Mark). Homemade mayonnaise. Delicious fresh green beans. The champagne-vinegar-chalot sorbet for oysters is discovery for us.
by laurent J
The seafood salad was delicious. Added in goat cheese instead of the egg. Also their salmon is to die for. Highly recommend this restaurant to all seafood lovers.
by Andrelyn Izquierdo
Oyster Stew!

The Cioppino was so flavorful, tasted like the ocean.

by Deny K.
Dohui was awesome. Never mind that we walked in a hot second before the end of the night, every oyster, appetizer, entree and drink order...quickly, clean, and so very nice.
by Ginny B.
Get here 30 mins before happy hour if you want a seat.
by Joey S.
Touristy with great selection of local oysters on the half shell. Clean, large but small feel at the bar. Mouthwash in the bathroom.
by Kerry C.
Although a highly touristy place, we had a great time during Oyster Happy Hour, despite the oysters being from the East Coast, where we're from too. The view and ambience are lovely though.
by Elke N.
Amazing oysters

Olympia sweet water oysters were super good, but tiny.
by Taija T.
The happy hour now starts at a dollar.
by Andrea H.
Start with the oysters and then try one of the Alaskan salmons (planked is the best style). A bit pricey but delicious with a beautiful view! Will definitely return!
by Victoria H.
Go here for happy hour Monday to Friday at 3pm. Oysters are $1. Great Oysters.

They know their oysters. Help them pick for you and you won't go wrong. Also, get the crab legs.
by Eric M.
Awesome place right on the water.
by Brandon L.
Bypass the schlock of the touristy Crab House for fresh crab served with perfectly.
by Tiffany
So if you eat outside the service is hit it miss. The food is very good - prices are Seattle high
by George M.
I am a foodie. Holy crab this place was the best! Must go crazy and order the Dutch harbor crab! Salted ice cream too. All made in house. Coming back on my next visit.
by Jonathan L.
Excellent oyster selection. But crab pot next door is a much better value overall.
by Jonathan F.
Prices are up at $.75 each instead of the $.50 posted starting at 3pm. Still a good deal tho.
by Betty M.
Dang, amazing seafood!
by Kristian K.
Beautiful view & a great location. The waiter was really friendly and suggested an off menu entree for me (I have a strict diet and eating out makes me feel super high maintenance) which was DELICIOUS
by Laura S.
The oysters are delicious
by sheela t.
Service outside was non existent. Sit at the bar and get amazing service.
by Liz G
Attention: Ultimate is served COLD, be aware! The waiter didn't tell us... Service is disappointing...
by Renata J
Great calamari
by Carolyn S.
Definitely try different kind of oysters! And halibut or salmon!
by Alexis K.
Oysters were great but everything else was so-so. Halibut was super dry and rubbery. Salmon was over cooked outside, undercooked inside. Stick to the oysters if you come here.
by Katie S.
Try the raw oysters - @elliotsoysterhouse but of course.
by Gene D.
Try the Cajun Pan Seared Alaskan Sockeye Salmon!
by Justin S.
Cedar-plank sockeye is fantastic!
by Bob P.
Screaming fresh oysters, mussels, crab and anything else that lives in the water. Elliott's will satisfy your cravings for excellent seafood. It's beautifully located on the Seattle waterfront.
by Charles K.
OMG! Oysters are incredible, but seriously? Forget about them. The Queen of the ball is the Dutch Harbor Red King Crab. Soooo fresh and delicious. The meat was firm and had such a natural sweetness.
by Hai T.
$5 bowl of clam chowder after a harbor tour is the best!

I asked the oyster shucker to give me the oyster experience. He did. It wasn't cheap, but I will never be the same again. It was an education about west coast oysters. Amazing.

Oysters, oysters, oysters. Just try every oyster they have that day. I'm sure their other menu items are good, but who cares? Oysters.
