Elliott Bay Seaview Restaurant
Verified user reviews
The most popular seafood restaurant in Seattle, the "crab pounding" here is a local delicacy that cannot be missed. Its characteristic is the brutal way of eating a large bowl of seafood poured on the table. Everyone who enters has to wear a bib with cartoon characters in the store painted on it, use a small wooden hammer to knock open the crab shell, and happily grab the seafood with their hands.
It's a very traditional American restaurant. The first thing I noticed is that the portions are large. The fries are very delicious. The steaks here are very recommended. The meat is tender and juicy. Several friends have given it very good reviews.

Industry-renowned and rated as one of the best seafood chowder restaurants in the area
Verified user reviews
The Pike Place Chowder is known as the best chowder in the United States. There was a long line before it opened... I don't know if it is the best in the United States, but it is definitely better than the Boston area... Although clam chowder is the original in our place [tears]
At Fisherman's Wharf in Seattle, you must try Pike Place Chowder's clam chowder and Boston lobster tails in bread. They are very delicious. If you go there early, you will have to wait in line. Many Canadians also come to buy seafood at Fisherman's Wharf. Ellenos' yogurt is the best yogurt I have ever tasted in my life. The taste is very pure and not the taste you can buy in the supermarket.

For two people, the set meal is too much. The portion is really exaggerated, even enough for three or four people. Come and eat your fill.
The music in the store is just right, very suitable for gathering with friends after get off work in the evening, which can relieve the fatigue of the day

Cutter's Crabhouse, this restaurant specializes in seafood. Their seafood ingredients are fresh and taste good, but the portion is a bit small, and I didn't feel full in the end!
I was not blown over by the menu or the service, but I did have a good lunch in a quiet setting. This looks like a popular place for local business people to have lunch with clients, just appeared to be large tables with business materials on the table.

This French restaurant has just opened and is not well known yet. The restaurant is small and exquisite, giving people a peaceful home feeling. The chef of the restaurant once worked in a Michelin three-star restaurant in New York and is good at showing the concept of French cuisine in a more creative way.
A nice seafood restaurant in Seattle with good reviews on Yelp. It is right next to the Ferris wheel in the tourist area. No wonder the business is so good. The oysters are very fresh and special, and many of the dishes are very delicious.

Lunch with a special guest
I often eat there for lunch and dinner. I bring my friends and family because it guarantees good food and a welcoming atmosphere. Karina served us with her usual courteous manner. I recommend this place to tourists and locals, it is a great place in any season, winter or summer. The food is great and the staff is very helpful.
This restaurant's collaboration with the Seattle Great Wheel offers a unique dinner experience where enjoying your meal while sitting on the Ferris wheel is a truly romantic choice!

The Bananas Foster French Toast and Berry Topping Bars are an absolute must--fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Portions are generous and the service is always friendly and efficient.
As a long-established brunch shop, Portage Bay Cafe's Oatmeal Cobbler French Toast is soft and delicious, perfect for sharing, and is definitely a representative of Seattle cuisine.

Popular fast food restaurant with a wide selection of meals and coffee
Verified user reviews
A good cup of coffee, let’s not talk about the taste first, but the taste, which must be comfortable, so that you can feel that the coffee is clean and has no impurities. Just like the advertisement of a certain company: "The heart follows the heart, the pleasure is smooth", "Silky feeling". Their coffee is amazing!
This Biscuit Bitch is very close to the comfort inn where we stayed this time. We had just got off the plane and had something to tidy up, so we didn’t want to go too far, so we settled here. Unexpectedly, the food tasted pretty good, especially the American-style waffles, which were very soft.
