One of the best and most unique sea food spots in Seattle, it is build in the style of a native american salmon smoke house. While there are many Ivar 's all over Seattle this is the one to see

Bobby Schultz

All the wonderfulness of Seattle in a single bite. Salmon House Seafood Saut - Salmon , halibut , cod , baby prawns , scallops , blackberries, toasted hazelnuts , mushrooms , scallions , lemon butter sauce ...

Hanan Mal

The service outside is excellent! Great fries the halibut is perfect! Not so keen on the mussels . A must for a trip down memory lane when in Seattle ❤️

Lucille Fisher

Amazing venue w/ water view . A Seattle institution! Order any seafood in the menu, my favs are salmon (duh), the clams and the mussels . Worth a visit every time I visit Seattle.

Liz Amill

Ivar's NW Seafood Sautee. First bite impression: cabin in the woods, fire in the fireplace , it's raining ... subtle flavors exquisitely blended with crunchy texture of hazelnuts . Unbelievable.

Christina Tyler Wenks

Ivar’s offers sockeye, chinook, coho salmon prepared a variety of ways and locally grown foods. Seasonal peaches , cherries and berries influenced accompaniments and desserts . Attentive service.

Virginia Ullrich-Serna

Everything! I had the salmon do, get the sauce on the side. It's good but if you don't like or know about Fennel .

siafu P

Great clam chowder , probably one of the best in Seattle. A Seattle Icon in it's own right. If you visit Seattle, you should visit one of the many Ivar 's around the area.

Bob Dixon

Excellent chowder ! And the seafood cannelloni is so worth it! Great service and a lovely spot on the deck make a perfect afternoon.

Hard Rocker

A must visit when in Seattle. Have the chowder . Nice view when sitting by the water. Parking can get tough. A bit noisy with I-5 just above.

Scott Rose

Just fantastic fish quickly made to order. I like the coleslaw so much I always order two. Chowder is also great.

Ray Hsu

3 or 4 piece fish and chips and white chowder . Perfect comfort food for a winter day in Seattle.

Ashley Jones

The salmon sampler was perfect! Love this place - the outdoor seating on the water is beautiful!

Christina Tyler Wenks

Clam chowder and local salmon varieties are incredible. Great preparation, service, and location.

Laurel Zacher

Still our favorite spot to hang out on the deck and watch the sea planes overhead. At the base of I-5 on Lake Union. Warning: You should like alderwood smoked salmon if you go.

Sarah

Fantastic brunch buffet ! Also a great place to come on a warm summer day and eat out on the water.

Shannon Garcia

Ask the server what's fresh, otherwise the best deals are on the specials menu. Go medium rare if you're really into salmon ... they tend to overcook.

Denise Aguilar

one of my favorite seadfood places. I am very sad that they took away the Salmon Burger . but the oyster shooters never dissapoints. Yummmm

Sam Sabri

Great ambiance and view of Seattle. You can't go wrong with their salmon .

Brett Rojas

Jacquie Rooney

Kayak up to the slip on Lake Union and have a cup of white chowder and some cod & chips !

Ben Rogers

Amazing food. Incredible view from outdoors. The warm bread is the best bread ever!

Derrick Deese

Happy hour is really good, and their salmon dish is very tasty. Mediocre overall IMO and not a standout place.

Maris Benz

Crab chowder was amazing. View was stunning and inside looked like a lodge .

N L

Note to self: outdoor seating is great but very noisy and probably dusty from all the cars.

Pelin Güvenç Kefel

One of the best places to have salmon in Seattle

The prices keep jumping up, but it's still some of the best fried fish and chowder in the city

Ordered the blt scallop salad to go... $22 and this is what I got! Bacon and scallops were both super overcooked then refrigerated, and plopped on the salad , not even cooked fresh. Disgusting!
