"One of Seattle’s biggest seafood empires is adding yet another outpost. Ivar’s — famous for its fish ‘n’ chips and chowders — opened a new Seafood Bar in Kirkland today at 5910 Lake Washington Blvd NE. On the menu are those aforementioned Ivar’s specialties, plus grilled Alaskan salmon BLTs, halibut with wild rice, cornbread, and coleslaw, and Pacific true cod tacos. Not every one of Ivar’s Seafood Bars serves alcohol, but this particular location has beer and wine, plus an outdoor patio with views of nearby Houghton Beach and seating for around 78." - Gabe Guarente
