SEATTLE – Consolidated Restaurants Inc. is bringing an innovative dining experience to the Seattle waterfront with Elliott’s Seafood Café. Designed as an energetic sidewalk oyster bar, the new Café offers a casual complement to Elliott’s Oyster House.
Opening this summer, Elliott’s Seafood Cafe will feature the outdoor oyster bar where guests can sit or stand, a full service bar with wine and cocktails, happy hour offerings and a menu of casual and fun seafood dishes with table service available all day. There will also be take-out availability and retail items for sale.
