I used to live in the Pike Place Market. It is probably the most central place you can be in Seattle, so there are lots of great places within walking distance.
Instead of Pike or Elysian, try Old Stove (great view) or Cloudburst.
Some places in the market I would recommend:
Le Pichet - great little french bistro
Le Panier - yummy pastries (no relation to Le Pichet
AFAIK)
Sushi Kashiba - arguably the best sushi in Seattle.
Crumpet Shop - awesome crumpets, try the ham, ricotta, pesto
I'm sure I could meet up for a beer sometime in there...
