Seasonal Pacific Northwest seafood, hyper-local ingredients, and sunset views over Puget Sound
Driftwood is a Pacific Northwest seafood restaurant located on Alki Beach in West Seattle. Our hyper-seasonal menu highlights the best of Washington — from Puget Sound shellfish to peak-season produce sourced directly from local farms, fishermen, and foragers.
With sweeping waterfront views, a refined yet welcoming atmosphere, and a constantly evolving menu, Driftwood offers one of Seattle’s most unique dining experiences.
