"Top ten meal of all time. My husband and I are seafood lovers and had to try this place right on the water. We started with cups of corn chowder and clam chowder, both were great appetizers. We had the seafood celebration, their take of a seafood tower and it was fantastic. A dozen oysters of several varieties along with crab claws, prawns and other items you'd expect. The accompanying sauces were all house made and amazing. Try the champagne ice with the oyster and it will not disappoint. Shared the Beef and Scallops. The short ribs were incredible and able to cut with the side of your fork. Good beer selection. Nice ambiance. Kind server. All around wonderful meal." - Marie H.

"Amazing view, Great service, and expected prices. I travel a lot and eat out a lot. This was a fantastic overall experience. We walked in  and made a reservation about an hour before sunset, and then sat at the bar for drinks while we waited. It paid off as we got an excellent table outside just in time to watch the sun set while sipping tasty cocktails and eating amazing crab cakes and crab legs. The service was great, and pricing was fair considering the tourist location. Elliot's was one of the best meals we had in Seattle.  I would definitely go back." - Todd S.

"Oyster virgin here. Well, past tense. Asked the bartender to pick out my order and now I can confidently say I like raw oysters. The condiments for the oysters is really good. Could put that pepper vinaigrette on anything." - Vu D.

"I highly recommend making reservations well on advance. I was lucky enough to be able to snag the last reservation for the day we went, which I booked almost 2 weeks prior. This place is very easy to miss. There is just an inauspicious pink door along the alley. We eventually figured it out, but we felt like we were on a scavenger hunt. We were seated promptly and by the window. We had a gorgeous view. We ordered the ahi tuna crudo as an appetizer. Then, we ordered the fish of the day special and the cioppino pink door. For dessert, we had tiramisu. Everything was very good and so satisfying. Will definitely dine here again the next time we are in Seattle." - Joy M.

"The Pink Door is a must-go restaurant for anyone visiting Seattle. I highly recommend making a reservation since it's ridiculously popular. The night ambiance for indoor seating was a real treat, especially with the live jazz band. I'll be honest, I'm not into Italian food or seafood, I'm also lactose intolerant, so the safest item to order was the spaghetti and mama's meatball. It was a simple spaghetti, so not much to comment on that. I'm not going to dock off a star for that either. They have a wide range of drinks; I ordered a cocktail called 'Reproductive Rights'. I believe money made from this drink goes to women's rights organization ( I forgot the details after the second drink). Overall, great experience. Ambiance was amazing. Drinks were fantastic. Food was good. My wife ordered the linguine alle vongole. She highly, higly recommends it. I almost missed the entrance to Pink Door so be cautious when walking through the alley." - Winston C.

"My favorite restaurant in Seattle so far. Food and service were both great. Staff were friendly and very quick to accommodate us, although we walked in with no reservations during a busy hour. Our server, Carter, was awesome. All of her recommendations for both food and drink were great. Their linguine and bolognese were delicious. Their pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked. Their ahi tuna crudo was a great appetizer. We enjoyed all the dishes we had there. However my favorites are their Amari drinks. I got the Amaro Montenegro which was herbal and refreshing, and Amaro Mardini which was also herbal but with more bitterness. Both were great to sip and chill on a nice day." - Tee D.
