Our Take
The Spot
Driftwood sits directly on Alki Beach, with views over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains framing the room. The menu is built around what's in season across Washington, drawing on Puget Sound shellfish and produce sourced from local farms, fishermen, and foragers rather than holding to a fixed lineup.

Oysters and shellfish anchor the kitchen's program, with rotating selections meant to reflect the range of the region's cold waters. The bar takes the same approach, working local spirits and seasonal ingredients into its cocktail list.

The space includes a bar and window counter for walk-in dining, along with a covered, heated terrace that hosts private events for up to 22 guests. Driftwood was named to Seattle Met's Best of 2025 list and holds a 7.3 rating from The Infatuation.
