Location: Located along Elliott Bay in Seattle’s Pier 54, this is the flagship location of the popular Ivar’s seafood chain. The waterfront setting offers great views of Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle.
Atmosphere: Casual and family-friendly with a nautical theme featuring nets, buoys and boat decor. Can get crowded and noisy during peak times. Outdoor patio dining available in the warmer months.
Menu: Focused on seafood as you’d expect, with an emphasis on fresh salmon. Popular dishes include salmon sandwiches, chowders, fish & chips and clam strips. Also offers crab, oysters on the half shell and other seafood. Some chicken and steak options for non-seafood eaters.
Quality: The seafood is considered top-notch and very fresh since it’s right on the waterfront. Salmon is cooked to perfection. Chowders and clam strips are praised.
Service: Efficient but can be overwhelmed at busy times with long waits. Staff is pleasant. Order at the counter and they will call your number.
Price: Moderate to high for the area. Expect to pay $15-30 per person without drinks. Good value for the quality and atmosphere.
Overall: A Seattle institution and especially fun for the waterfront views. Great option for fresh seafood and a memorable Northwest dining experience. Come prepared for crowds but worth it for the Ivar’s experience.
