If you are at Pike Place need a lunch spot or a good casual dinner i would recommend this place. The service is good and the food is prepared well. There always seems to be a wait even for lunch but it is definitely one of my favorite spots at Pike Place.

We have been to Pike market to pick up fresh fish or flowers in summer. Etta's is the place to sit down and treat ourselves afterwards. We didn't go there on weekends, so booking is not a problem to us. Try their cheese plate with dates, red wine figs, and almonds. We love their Halibut, Salmon and all other seafood they offer. Always good and never over-cooked.

Etta's is one of Tom Douglas' four Seattle restaurants and specializes in seafood. It's at a great waterfront location, and the food was pretty good. I got a simple halibut plate that was tasty, but if I recall the appetizers and desserts were even better. Good service, good cheese plate - close to the market and waterfront activities.

I realize that Tom Douglas may be as big of a tourist attraction as the Space Needle but I can't help it, I think he's a fine chef. I echo Suzanne's post about going to a restaurant that isn't pretending to be something it's not. Etta's is totally relaxed (but what place in Seattle really isn't) and the food is good. Sit back & relax! It's in a good location for you to take a walking tour of the market, head down to the pier, or just browse around downtown. On that note, if you will have already hit the tourist traps or your friends have been to our fine city before, I vote for Salty's in West Seattle or Ray's Boathouse. I think everyone already knows my opinion about the view of the downtown skyline from Salty's, as mentioned in my previous posts about said subject. And Ray's, well, it's just darned good food! Have fun and two thumbs up to the grandfolks for taking the tater tots off your hands for an evening!

The perfect restaurant to take visiting relatives or friends to, Etta’s never disappoints at brunch or lunch. The jewel in the Tom Douglas crown of restaurants, Etta’s is busy all times of the day. That said, the wait is usually manageable for small parties, and the food is certainly worth the wait. Virtually everything is house-made from scratch, and it shows: the scones are delectable and flaky, the roasted beets sublime; their Bloody Mary is happiness-in-a-glass (with or without the vodka).
