- MMountainmarianneSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoE&C has really upped their game in the last year. Loved the falafel wrap. I requested it without the Tortilla so it made a very tasty salad. My 8 year old granddaughter is very particular about her cheeseburger (absolutely no condiments). She wolfed it down. Sitting in the back room, the noise level was perfect for a lively pre-show dinner.More infoElephant & Castle - SeattlePrice: Moderate• undefined• Downtown•4.2
