    Seafood pasta
    connie v.

    I thought the views of the restaurant and from the restaurant were beautiful. I think when I went in a Saturday evening they were pretty busy so the service wasn't quite how I expected it to be given the calibur of restaurant. Host could have been friendlier. We had a reservation, waited 5 minutes to be seated. Ordered drinks, took a while. Almost seemed l ike servers make drinks? I could be mistaken. We ordered table side Ceasar salad, it was really good but on the strong side. I would order it again though. My tequila drink was good but on the lacking tequila side. I ordered seafood pasta and it was good. My husband had the lobster and steak and he said it was really good. Although, for the price point I believe elsewhere would have been better. Overall good experience, but don't think I'll be back, I'd rather try out other places for better food for the price point and better service experience.

    This was recommended to me by my YE friends and I'm so glad we scored a reservation. Our Uber driver got a little lost, but pro tip: if you're heading here just map Pier 70 and you can't go wrong. The restaurant sign can be deceiving, it's actually towards the end of the pier towards the water to the left . From there, you should be able to see the sign for the restaurant. It sits on Pier 70 waterfront that adds to the dramatic, scenic setting over Elliott Bay with views of Mt. Rainier, the Space Needle, and the city skyline. The interior leans upscale with modern-classic touches, and live piano music adds an elegant, romantic vibe. You can instantly tell this is the type of place people come to celebrate. I was taking photos when James, the general manager, came right over and asked how he could help. Without me even asking, he knew I wanted to capture the sunset. He personally unlocked the outdoor deck gate so I could step out and get the perfect shot. That's when he introduced himself and shared that he's originally from Santa Monica, now recruited to Seattle. This restaurant is so lucky to have James. He's the type of manager who's professional, personable, and not afraid to roll up his sleeves. I kept noticing him throughout the night helping the staff, delivering food, and checking in on guests. That kind of leadership sets the tone for the entire restaurant. Bob was our server and he also did an amazing job. Even with how busy the night was, he never once forgot about us. He coursed everything perfectly, even though we ordered all at once, and gave us excellent recommendations. My boyfriend and I split everything, which was perfect for tasting: Passion Mojito- strong but really good!Sancerre Wine- crisp and perfect with seafood. Caesar Salad- classic, done right. Grilled Spanish Octopus- charred just enough for a smoky edge, paired with romesco sauce such perfection. Alaskan Black Cod- buttery, tender, caramelized edges with crispy leeks that added the best crunch. Sauteed Foraged & Cultivated Mushrooms- earthy and meaty, a must if you love mushrooms. Broccolini- nothing fancy, but still tasty. Baileys Chocolate Caramel Bread Pudding (James's pick!) - OMG, demolished in 5 minutes! Every single staff member we encountered was attentive, friendly, and on point. Between James going above and beyond and Bob's flawless service, the hospitality here is truly top-notch. If you're looking for a date night restaurant or somewhere to celebrate a special occasion in Seattle, this is it. Aqua by El Gaucho checks all the boxes, unforgettable food, a killer view, and people like James who make you feel like a VIP.

    The service was excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive, but not underfoot. He also gave great recommendations when we asked for some and timed our food really well. We made a reservation on a Saturday right when they opened but didn't really need it that time of day in the winter as it turned out, but I'd still recommend one to be safe because it filled up quickly. We had a great view of the water and sunset too. The food was good, though I wish they had had more vegan options for folks with allergies. This is a pricier meal but I do think we would come back for a special occasion, especially because the service was so good compared to other similar restaurants in the area.

    Tonight we had dinner at AQUA in Seattle. AQUA Restaurant is part of the Fire and Vine Hospitality Group. They also own El Gaucho Restaurants. It's been a while since we visited AQUA. The restaurant sits on Pier 70 on the Seattle waterfront at Elliott Bay. Their hospitality was awesome and the GM James Bushart and his staff went out of the way to make our anniversary memorable. Our server Rochelle was awesome and attentive. This was our 43rd anniversary. As with El Gaucho, there were rose petals at the table and a Happy Anniversary card. The menus had both our names printed on them. For appetizers: Grilled Spanish Octopus, A Kale Salad and a side of corn. For Entrees: A Frenched Rib Chop and a Black Cod. Dessert: Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pot De Cream. Our food and drinks were great and we had a fabulous time. We highly recommend this restaurant.

    From the hosts to the servers and helpers the service was first rate! The ambiance for this spot is always on point with that view of Elliott Bay, especially during this time of year. Our quartet visited for Seattle Restaurant Week. Some in the party ordered from the regular menu while the other half enjoyed the Restaurant Week menu. From the regular menu, Tableside Caesar Salad; Farm Greens; Sea Bass with pickled stone fruit, fennel salad, wilted spinach, citrus, buerre blanc; and Frenched Rib Chop. From the Restaurant Week menu, Farm Greens; Wicked Shrimp; Grilled Salmon with broccolini, bagna cauda, lemon beurre blanc. For dessert the NY Cheesecake and the Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Pot De Creme. Our compliments to the kitchen for wonderfully prepared meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely return!

    After the general manager James reached out to invite us back for another go of it the experience we had was miles better. This time we were seated away from the middle of the room and were able to better speak with and hear ourselves and the staff. We ended up trying different dishes that outshone our previous choices. I can highly recommend the yellowfin poke, king salmon, and carrot cake. It was also nice to have a chance to meet James and several other kind and friendly members of the team and get to know our hosts. Overall a much better and more authentic second time around.

    I may have found my new favorite Seattle restaurant! Met colleagues for Happy Hour and when I walked in I loved the ambiance. They had beautiful piano and very proficient pianist right when you walk in. The food and cocktail menu had very good variety and at traditional Happy Hour prices. The service was impeccable, even when every table had guests at them. I can't wait to come back for dinner! It's one of those places you go to celebrate special moments!

    The views at Aqua are 10/10 especially on a sunny, clear day. The food is mediocre and not worth the price unfortunately. Service was great and it's a nice touch that the valet puts fresh cookies in your car when you leave.

    Beautiful ambiance, top notch service, this place is a stunner! Was part of a private party. The room has a beautiful view and walkout patio. But the long and narrow room, while perfect and intimate for dining, is awkward and restricting for mingling. Our server was attentive and personable, felt like my glass was always full. The food was pretty, well presented and delicious. Is it bad to say that I left hungry? I liked their Caesar salad and the pumpkin seed rolls were a nice touch. (They brought out gluten free crackers as needed.) Scallops were fresh and tender and the hubs enjoyed the filet. I'd love to go back and try more options. The view and ambiance is stunning. Parking: they offer valet only in their own covered and private lot.

    I personally had a high expectations because of the reviews. We went there to have a farewell party before I moved to different state. Hoping something more memorable but a bit disappointed. The food was excellent but overpriced. We ordered fresh oyster and other appetizers/ salad that I didn't take a picture of. For main course we got Fillet Mignon, Sea Bass, King Salmon, Rib chop Steaks. I recommend their Sea Bass and Fillet Mignon. We also ordered 2 bottles of wine and desserts. Our waitress wasn't attentive and at the end of the meal we were handed a blue and cream card explaining that a 20% service charge is included on each check BUT the company retains 100% of the service charge and welcoming additional tips! I really can't recommend this place. If you are unfamiliar with the area, you have to walk down the sidewalk for Aqua's entrance. There is a Valet and parking available. I can say that it has a great location overlooking the water, Elliot Bay Trails and the Space Needle in the distance.

    My good (girl)friend brought me here to celebrate my recent engagement. They were so thoughtful to add that to the top of the menu with a really sweet card from the staff too. We think they may have thought we were the engaged couple, which we got a good chuckle about, but I could see where the misunderstanding would be given it was the two of us dining this evening. In any event, it was a nice gesture. We started off with happy hour at the bar and got the halibut tacos, tenderloin diablo (both oh so dry!!! 2/5) and two bubbly French cannons to celebrate. We are now both lightweights and I definitely had a good buzz going after only a couple sips. We moved outside to the patio area which had an amazing view of the water with all the sailboats passing by. The sunset wasn't bad either. Full from happy hour, we shared: - Tableside yellowfin poke ($27): not sure why this is made tableside, as there's no real "flair" to the assembly, but anyways the end presentation was a bit sloppy. The poke was fresh and tasty although very heavy on the cucumber. 4/5 - Seared scallops ($63): Our server raved about these. Unfortunately, they were extremely over salted. My friend remembered she had ordered this before and as soon as she took a bite she said "oh yah last time it was salty too". The sear was only on one side of two of the three scallops and they weren't a crispy sear either. This was very disappointing. 2/5 - Sautéed foraged and cultivated mushrooms ($8): earthy, meaty and delicious. 4.5/5 Service was on the slow side, but it might have been purposeful so we could enjoy the ambiance. Valet parking available.

    Dinner and Service I was spectacular the appetizer scallops, oysters cliff and the seabass first class listen the piano.

    Ask the Community - AQUA by El Gaucho

    I want to bring my 18monrh old grandaughter to dinner. We will eat early. 5pm. Does Aqua have highchair? It is her Grandpa's 80th birthday dinner. Is this ok? Or not a good choice with a baby?

    Yes, of course., The restaurant has everything you need just ask them and the make happen.

    My husband has a business dinner tonight and I was wondering is there is a dress code? I didn't know I was attending the dinner and all I have are jeans.

    It is a nicer place however I went in jeans and a polo with a fleece jacket. I wouldn't wear tattered or the jeans with holes.

    How is the menu for individuals with celiac disease? (gluten free)

    Most of our dishes can be made gluten-free, and we are happy to accommodate special requests. Let us know either in your reservation notes, or to your server once you arrive and they will be happy to go over the menu and dishes with you.

    Are walk-ins allowed?

    They are if space is available.

    How is the access for wheel chairs and power chairs throughout the restaurant?

    There are no stairs, so no worries there. Tables are spaced out due to Covid, so plenty of room to maneuver.

    No free desserts for birthdays? I saw all these pictures on here with happy birthday but we didn't get one and I was pretty disappointed about it

    Hi Cindy, Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us! We are sorry you were disappointed… Read more

    How much is the valet parking?

    $12, as I recall. You can pay it with your dinner check.

    Does this location have happy hour?

    I don't think they happy hour specials, but they do in the bar of the El Gaucho a few blocks away on 1st Ave.

    What is the dress code? Can women wear pants? Or is it cocktail dress attire

    Yes you can wear pants! :)

    Is a jacket and tie required?

    No it's not required

Others ordered the salmon, which seemed to be a bit overcooked and on the dry side. We shared all of the desserts, and the lemon fennel tart was a hit. The coconut cream pie wasn't quite as good as I remembered, mostly because the whipped cream could have been a little sweeter. Service was smooth considering the size of our group, and everyone had a good time.

It was a huge feast with plenty of food to share, and every bite was absolutely delicious. The House Special sauce was the star of the meal, bringing together the perfect balance of buttery, garlicky, and spicy flavors. The crawfish were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right, with a flavorful blend of spices that enhanced the seafood without overpowering it. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, from the shrimp and clams to the crab and lobster tail. Beyond the food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Our food arrived hot, fresh, and quickly despite the generous portions.

I think my wife stole all the seasoning in the bite she had, she said it was a little dill-y, and the only dill I tasted was the pickle (which was good). Also had the marionberry crème soda, which I need to find closer to home. Overall, 4.3 stars seems pretty generous...especially since when I walked out the door I was still ready to eat.

We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

    My sister and I visited Elliott's Oyster House for the first time last night, and it was one of the…read morebest dining experiences we've ever had. Our server, Niko, provided the best service I've ever received. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the oysters and took the time to explain everything to us. I'm not usually an oyster person, but thanks to his recommendations, I actually found some that I truly enjoyed! Niko was kind, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. His genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail made our evening so memorable. And the food... absolutely amazing! The mussels were incredible, and the bread and butter were to die for. We'll definitely be back, and I'll be recommending Elliott's to all of my friends and family. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Food was delicious: fried oysters, sourdough bread, salmon ( hubby's)...I had the halibut w caprese salad and a yummy polenta but unfortunately I didn't take adequate pics of the menu so I don't remember exact preparations etc...and it was a new menu so their website did not show the updated menu. But it was so so good!!! Prices were a bit high but I guess that's to be expected for a waterfront restaurant in this area ( very touristy)... will give them a 5 star rating anyway.
