Overpriced. 20% surcharge which our waiter was quick to point out goes to the company. Any tip was in addition. Dungeness crab was over-steamed and therefore not as flavorful as anticipated. Do not recommend.

Great service but value was lacking considering high price paid (including 20% service fee automatically added to every bill plus additional 10%+ tip as service worker state they only get half of the service fee) for so-so salmon and halibut non-memorable cuisine. The drinks are spendy at $15 each but excellent. The desert menu is lacking in non-dairy options with the exception of spumoni.
Overall, a bit disappointed. We just got married and Rainier and came into Seattle to explore. We were hopeful Elliotts would be our big dinner out but it really wasnât worth the hype in our opinion. The server forgot to bring several things to our table, the oysters were very small and the taste was really just subpar. We ordered the Celebration for our dinner and maybe that was the mistake. It was just really small for the price. Likely wonât come back and on the hunt for authentic Seattle sea food.
Was over priced for the quality of food served.
We ate outside and it was a lovely night watching the ferry boats. Service was great. Food was very good such as the salmon fritters, halibut special of the day and oysters but super expensive ; very pricey meal which was enjoyable but wish the cost was a little more reasonable. But overall loved eating outside and thought food was very good.
Our server Ardon F was great! He was very knowledgeable of the oyster types and customer service was possibly the best we have ever experienced at any restaurant. They treated us so well, we will back
Weâve always loved Elliottâs for the large seafood tower and crab Louie. Sad to see the menu get smaller and the items on your favorite dishes change or all together disappear. The large seafood tower is a sad pathetic selection of seafood now and smaller at the same price point. The crab Louie is no longer even on the menu. Canât even get a seafood Louie of any kind. The tower is the biggest disappointment of them all. It was always such a treat that we didnât mind the $95 price tag and had it everytime. The other major disappointment was the lack of dessert options fir our anniversary dinner. My husband has a gluten allergy and they used to have at least a couple options now it was just âall we have is a sorbet kind of thingâ¦â spoken like doubt you want that. Guess not. Sadly, we are probably not going back.
First time in Seattle.
We were so excited to eat here again after two amazing meals in the past. My halibut was overcooked. Very odd flavor profiles. Worst crab cake ive ever had. 20% tip already included. Waiter wasnât great and spoke so fast we couldnât understand a word. $350 for 4 people, 2 beers the rest waters. Super bummed! I loved this place before.
1 out of 10 do not recommend. The server acted afraid of our kids and was generally awkward with requests. The restaurant also charged a 20% yes 20% fee to our very expensive bill that was not intended to go to the server. Supposedly it is a fee that goes back to the house so that some day (not in the next two years) they might offer their servers benefits. This seems criminal. Shame on you Elliotâs. I own a very small business and all of my employees have benefits and I donât put that cost on my customers. Also, I noticed that they sat three different tables of black customers next to our noisy kid table in the very back of the restaurant when there were clearly open tables away from our kiddos in more desirable locations. If I was those customers I would have been annoyed and curious why all the white customers had better tables.
