Ivar's Fish Bar

Great food, and great service. View of the water which was so nice. Had two different types of salmon both of which tasted very different. All around great experience

got the 5 piece Cajun Fish & Chips the fish itself does not really measure up to Spud’s Fish and Chips. It’s definitely fried less well - it just doesn’t have the same breading on the outside. Even the inside doesn’t taste half as good - it’s a little bit pully. There was supposed to be Cajun breading on the outside - but I pretty much didn’t notice any difference at all - there was no extra seasoning or any extra flavor that i could taste Still - it wasn’t bad. Fried fish is going to taste pretty good unless you completely screw it up - and this place certainly didn’t. The portion of fish was quite good as well - as 5 decently sized fish were enough to be filling the tartar sauce was average - nothing too special. it slightly improved the fish taste but didn’t add to it the same i will say the fries were really good. the fish came in on top of a massive portion of fries - and while there was no real seasoning there - these fries were pretty fantastic in terms of being perfectly soft on the inside. I really enjoyed them with the sauces overall: good portions and fries, but the dish was quite mid. 6.5/10

At rush hour, the patio on the waterfront can be a little noisy due to the traffic on the nearby bridge. Other than that, it's a great place with great views.

Having lived in Australia, I've always had low expectations for fish & chips in North America. However, this place surprised me with its delicious clam chowder. While the bread that came with the clam chowder wasn't anything special, the chowder itself was so thick and creamy that I would definitely want to have it again when I'm in Seattle. Additionally, the staff here were very friendly and did a great job explaining the food, even for someone like me who was new to Seattle.

Would recommend this place for someone looking to get some fish and chips with some beer. Decor is chill/relaxed and the location is great. Rates are a little expensive but we were lucky enough that we got the happy hour menu. Food was pretty fresh and quality of the food was also good. Tasted like it should so no qualms there. Service at times was pretty slow but our serves was pretty nice and helped us try a new cider. They could expand their menu a little bit more to add some options but all in all we had a good experience there.

An evening not to be missed. If you can you should go. The view of the boats, the quality of the food and drinks. The service all combined to make a most plesent experience. It is a fantastic way to spend the evening.

The large white man at the walk up window needs to take a customer service class. I asked if they had a chicken sandwich and he told me they don't have it anymore. Before I could even attempt to order something different, he turned around and walked away from me, without even asking If I'd like something else instead. It felt disrespectful. I've ate here multiple times and the only thing I thought was good enough to eat on my lunch break was the chicken sandwich. I don't know why they got rid of it. The salmon dinner was not what I expected both times I tried it. Pretty bland and kind of slimy in texture. After the bad customer service this time, I'll never be back there again. I'll choose the random food truck over this.

Great seafood with a minor hiccup! The clams and chips were delicious, and the cornbread was a delightful addition to my meal. I especially loved adding malt vinegar for an extra flavor kick. The only downside was that the fries arrived cold, which is understandable since I ordered takeout. Overall, a great meal!
