Elliott's Oyster House

Elliott's Oyster House is a classic seafood restaurant on Pier 56, with a waterfront setting along Seattle's Alaskan Way. The restaurant combines a traditional oyster-house character with an expansive bar, dining rooms, a lounge and seasonal patio seating. Waterfront views and the working pier location give the setting a distinctly maritime atmosphere.

Oysters are central to the experience. The oyster bar presents a broad selection that highlights the different flavors and textures of Pacific Northwest oysters, while the wider menu focuses on seafood prepared for lunch and dinner. The restaurant also offers desserts, wine and other beverages, giving the menu enough range for a full meal or a shorter stop at the bar.

The bar and lounge provide a more informal setting for oysters, shareable plates and drinks, while the main dining areas suit a longer seafood meal. Patio seating adds an outdoor option during the appropriate season, with the waterfront as a natural backdrop. The combination of indoor dining, lounge seating and the patio makes the restaurant adaptable to different kinds of visits without moving away from its seafood focus.

Elliott's also offers a kids menu, making it practical for family meals, and private dining for occasions that call for a more defined setting. Wine and beverage choices support both casual oyster stops and celebratory dinners. The restaurant's connection to the Pacific Northwest extends beyond the menu through a stated commitment to sustainability practices and organizations that help protect regional waters.

With its emphasis on oysters, seafood, waterfront dining and a polished but approachable restaurant format, Elliott's Oyster House suits diners looking for a dedicated oyster bar, a family-friendly seafood meal, a drink in the lounge or a private gathering near the waterfront.
