Pros

Ivar's Seafood Bar is a seafood lover's paradise, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious seafood options. The fish and chips are a must-try, and the seafood soup is a hearty and flavorful option. The restaurant has a casual and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot for families and groups of friends. The service is also friendly and attentive, with staff happy to accommodate special requests.

Cons

Some reviewers have noted that the prices can be a bit steep, especially for larger groups or families. The menu can also be a bit limited for those who don't eat seafood, although there are some non-seafood options available. Additionally, the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours, which can lead to longer wait times.

Yummy food (corn bread is a special treat, Cole slaw is perfect, fish fried to perfection and awesome soda machine), really friendly service and a great view of the sunset colored sky. Plus a parade of motor cycles on the street!

Gotta have Ivar's as often as I can when visiting Seattle area. The service here was fast and the employees were friendly. Fried clam strips are a favorite followed closely by chowder.

Amazing seafood. We are from Chicago. My wife and I came here years ago and loved the clam chowder and fish & chips. Fast forward to this past week, came here for a work conference at Mozcon and ate here again. Consistent good seafood!

Great clam strips and fries! My husband doesn’t eat fish, but he enjoyed his spicy chicken sandwich with fries. Prices were very reasonable, too. I will definitely be going again!
