13 Restaurants with Some of the Best Views in Seattle

"Chef Nick Novello’s installation at this famed downtown waterfront restaurant makes the touristy spot worth revisiting. Local oysters, crab sourdough toast, and smoked salmon are a few of the standouts. Plus, not only is the place parked under the Great Wheel, but it also offers a four-course dinning experience on the ride itself, for those who aren’t afraid of heights." - Meg van Huygen, Harry Cheadle, Gabe Guarente

Seattle Fine Dining Restaurants That Are Worth the Splurge | Eater Seattle

"If you want a delightfully silly way to spend $125 per person, book a gondola on Seattle’s waterfront ferris wheel for dinner, courtesy of the Fisherman’s Restaurant. The way it works is you show up for cocktail hour at 6:30 p.m. to order wine or whatever else you want to drink, climb aboard the wheel at 7:00, and “take off” at 7:30. You get a meal of prawn cocktail, Caesar salad, grilled salmon, and chocolate custard. This is only available on Fridays and Saturdays." - Harry Cheadle

Famous Seattle Restaurants That Live Up to the Hype | Eater Seattle

"Eating seafood on the waterfront always feels a little hokey, but for out-of-towners who want to do the thing in the place, this spot on Alaskan Way is the right kind of hokey. Fisherman’s is basically a fancier version of its cousin, the Crab Pot, down the street — they do a great touristy crab boil with prettier, higher-quality shellfish, and they don’t dump it all over the table. Which is fun too, don’t get us wrong." - Meg van Huygen

Super cool location at the bottom of the Ferris wheel on the waterfront. Indoor and outdoor seating makes this a great place to stop off for a meal or drink to soak in the sound. We had the fish and chips and a fish sandwich for late lunch. Both were delicious. We had the crab and spinach dip as an appetizer. The waiter was the best. Great table service. The tables were not too close to each other so the space we had was perfect. The lip by the window was a great place to place your bag or sweater. Overall nice experience worth visiting.

We decided to give this place a try for dinner the other evening… we should have kept walking. Our server was pretty much nonexistent for most of the time, often being 20 minutes between checking on us. Drinks sat empty, we waited for food, etc. we waited 25 minutes just for him to show up and get us a check so we could finally get out of there. We should have known when we talked in and the hostess huffed at us when we asked if we could seat outside… there were plenty of empty tables. As far as food goes, well… the chowder was good. It ends there. The fish tacos were gross. The tortillas were too thick and almost slimy feeling. My honey had the fish and chips, and it was mediocre, at best. Moral of the story here is don’t melt this place be a part of your story.

My son and I just stopped for cocktails on a beautiful Sunday afternoon on the pier. We were served cocktails at the upstairs bar and seated on the outdoor deck below the great wheel, which offers views of the bay. Seattle pier prices. The bartender was friendly, and the drinks were refreshing. It was quiet because I was there between lunch and dinner, and our seating area was secluded.

The service and location are great! I ordered the Black Alaskan Cod. I felt it was over-seasoned and covered in butter/oil. I also ordered the crab dip. It did not taste much like it had much crab in it at all. Do not recommend it. My friend got the crab boil and said it was delicious.

GREAT location near Ferris wheel and lots of outdoor seating (we didn’t have to wait). The seafood boil was delicious but the fish tacos and calamari weren’t. Not sure it was even calamari 💁‍♀️ High prices but comparable to the area.

Gorgeous views and we sat on the upper deck! Would highly recommend the upper deck to anyone visiting the area for the first time. Food was good!

We popped in after a day of sightseeing, hoping it wasn’t a typical tourist trap—and we were pleasantly surprised. Our server, Santiago, was great—helpful, polite, and very attentive. All the food was solid. My son loved the smoked salmon fettuccine and even said, “This is the best pasta I’ve ever had!” My fish and chips were also good, and everything else we tried hit the mark. The only odd part of the experience was when a waiter dropped and broke a glass of water. He picked up some of the glass, placed a wet floor sign over it, and then left it like that—for over an hour. When we left, the puddle and broken glass were still sitting under the sign. It might still be there when you visit!

A very unique place. The food was fantastic. The bread bowl clam chowder was one of the best i have had. My niece had the Shrimp pasta which was really good. Calamari, really really good. My 4 star is because the staff wasn’t very friendly and appeared to be annoyed we were here. Otherwise a great experience.

We had some time to burn before our harbor cruise, so figured we'd grab a bite nearby. We were seated quickly and decided on the coconut shrimp, crispy fish tacos, and the halibut tacos. I've ordered coconut shrimp at many establishments and the breading is typically pretty thick, sometimes too thick, but here it's nice and thin so you get the shrimp flavor along with the cocoon it instead of coconut with a hint of shrimp. One of the better ones that I've had. I preferred the crispy fish over the halibut, but mainly because I felt they put too much avocado into the halibut tacos. Regardless both were tasty. I'm not sure why they're rated so low. My experience was definitely 5 star worthy!

Staff: The staff were friendly and hospitable. Our server was Chelsea who was nice and took good care of us. Overall, they had good service. Quality/Quantity: I grew up eating at the location in San Clemente, CA so was very excited to find it here. The food has always been good in my experience in CA. The same was the case today. We got the halibut and chips and Claim chowder. The fish and chips were delicious, fresh, flaky, and flavorful. The claim chowder was tasty with a nice sourdough bowl. Value: This is subjective but can say that 4 people ate lunch for $75 without tip. Overall: The food is good, service good, and view amazing!!! We sat outside with a view of the water and the Giant wheel.

This place might have a bad reputation as a tourist trap considering it's location at the end of the pier right under the ferris wheel. However, the food and service were excellent. The chowder was one of the best I've had in a long time. And of course the views are amazing.

We got here right before a huge rush and they have so much outside seating with lovely views of the water right by the Great Wheel. Our server was friendly and our water glasses were never empty. I didn't get a picture of the food but the halibut and chips were breaded and not greasy! So delicious! The salmon BLT however, the bread was so greasy it became soggy in the middle and the crust was tough to bite through. The cocktails were refreshing on a warm summer afternoon. We'd definitely come back for lunch during a trip up to the Seattle Waterfront.

Our first meal in Seattle set the bar high. I was genuinely surprised to see this restaurant rated at just 3.1 stars on Yelp as our experience felt far closer to five. We were seated outdoors with a stunning view of the Great Wheel and the water--an ideal backdrop for a relaxing meal. Service was quick, and our server (wish I remembered her name) was super sweet and on top of things. Food-wise, everything was great. The clam chowder in the bread bowl ($19) was so good--definitely a must-try. We also had the PNW Captain's Plate (fish and chips) for $29, Fisherman's Crab Melt ($26), half dozen oysters ($20), and the Halibut & Shrimp Primavera ($28). Each dish was served piping hot, with fresh ingredients and generous portions - ample enough that we left with leftovers. The prices are a bit steep but with the view, good food, and friendly service, it felt worth it to us.

This is a good restaurant if you are wanting seafood. They have a lot of different meals with fish and many types of fish. I had a caesar salad with grilled chicken and it was great. It was a huge salad but the only problem with it was there was so much dressing sitting at the bottom of the plate it made some of the lettuce soft. The servers are super friendly and are great about getting waters refilled. Food came out super quick. I'm talking about within 5-7 minutes. Atmosphere was really positive and the outside dining had a great view. I was super pleased with this restaurant and would definitely visit again if I was in seattle.

Decent service, nice scenery, and food was average. One thing to note was the broccolini had a nice sweet taste, which made it interesting and different

Wow, very impressive. We had a party of 6 and had no wait time. It became busy after we arrived. The server was great and engaging. We ordered appetizers and each of us had a different entree. The flavor and seasoning on the food was perfect. Very flavorful and delicious. We all enjoyed the food. The dessert needs a little extra attention. (Mud pie/strawberry shortcake) Not what we expected at all. It was a great afternoon. Ambiance was great. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Was here as part of a large dinner group, so we only had a few limited choices to order from ahead of time. This being Seattle, fish and chips seemed like a no-brainer. Sadly, it was disappointing. The serving consisted of three smallish fish sticks (not battered fillets like I'm seeing in some of the photos here), some so-so fries and a serving of cole slaw. It actually might have been a kid's meal, now that I think about it. A real let down and not at all the quality or flavor I was expecting. Several others in the group said the same thing. The best part of the meal for me was the sourdough bread we got to start. A bright spot -- our server was fantastic and did a terrific job keeping us all well taken care of. And the waterfront setting is lovely.

Sam Clemente Brownie - the ice cream arrived freezer burned, but brownie half was great. Requested table move outdoor to acquire only bottom floor location with a view, only to be left table-less after three waiters got into a verbal altercation.

Cayman (not sure if spelled correctly) was great!! Very attentive! They were very aware the sun was going down and would start getting chilly. They were pulling down the umbrellas and lighting the heaters. The sourdough bread is awesome. The views are amazing. The captain's feast was so good. Had cod tenders, calamari and shrimp. Multiple sauces and the marmalade was so good!! Slaw not the best. Shrimp Alfredo was decent. The Alfredo was great but the shrimps was not grilled like advertised and was a bit fishy.

Harrison was our server and he was great! Clam chowder, crab cakes and grilled shrimp tacos were fantastic. Forgettable margarita but it's all good. Tiramasu and strawberry shortcake rounded out a great experience. If we're ever back in town, we'll be back here, too!

We selected this restaurant specifically because we wanted something next to the Great Wheel and we wanted seafood. I ordered a dozen raw oysters, clam chowder, and steamed snow crab with a side of asparagus and broccolini. The seafood was fresh and good. Service was just ok. Our waiter forgot one of the dishes so we shared our food until the last dish was ready about 30 minutes later. We had fun eating with our hands and the crab was really sweet. The view from our table was the ocean and the Great Wheel. After dinner, we bought tickets to ride the wheel (my first time). We had a very memorable evening!

Ok. So we didn't get to do the whole arcade but we DID get a chance to walk thru it. And had the opportunity to play a few games and look around. This would be something every kid has to do when visiting here in Seattle. Games are 25 cents. They also have a giant bubbleg machine to buy gum from. They have the carousel here. But it closes early. I think the girl said it closes at 8 or 9. Cause we got there just before 10 to ride the giant wheel. And they were already closed. There's also a theater inside there somewhere. Its entrance is on the side where the Ferris wheel is. I'm not sure if it's a movie or a tourist attraction for fun. But they have workers depressed up in getups escorting them to the doors. Seemed intriguing. Bring some cash AND have money on a card too. You never know which they will take!

I ate here 2x while in Seattle within a matter of a week and if you are questioning whether to go, GO! First, the views here are amazing. You have amazing views of the water and the port along with the Ferris Wheel which is next door. To start, service was great - but let's talk about the food. The Original Clam Chowder is to die for. I started out with a cup on my first visit, but my last visit I did the bread bowl. Very flavorful lots of Clams and just really really really good! The fish and chips were great also, not my favorite but good. This is def a must eat spot and will be on my Seattle recommendations list.

I am shocked at how low the rating is on yelp. I really enjoyed this restaurant, it was right on the water which gave a beautiful view and it is right by the Seattle great wheel. The service was fantastic. I was seated immediately and waited on quickly. I had questions about the gluten free menu options and she was quick to check and answer any questions I had. I really appreciated that level of thought. The food. Appetizer I ordered was a prawn cocktail. It was DELICIOUS! The prawns were large and flavorful. The cocktail sauce was delicious and well made. Main dish: snow crab legs. These legs were definitely well done. The crab was delicate and tender. The sides were good but the crab meat really stole the show as it should. The meal was ended with a hot towel. All in all an excellent meal and I would 100% come back here again. Note it is not the most affordable location but the quality of the food makes it worth it for me. This meal was just over $100 after tip.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We arrived as a group of nine, eager to try the restaurant because the menu looked so appealing. Upon arrival, we were told the wait would be 30 minutes -- which was perfectly fine with us. However, once 30 minutes passed and we still hadn't been called, we checked in again, only to be told it would be another 10 minutes. Ten minutes later, we were informed they could not accommodate our party size at all -- after making us wait a total of 40 minutes. During this time, we watched multiple other groups get seated right away. At no point were we told they might not be able to seat a group of our size. We would have gladly split into smaller tables had that option been offered from the start, but instead, they continued to string us along. Understandably, we were frustrated and hungry, and the conversation with the host became tense. We ultimately left and walked over to Ivar's, just a short distance away, where we were treated with genuine kindness and professionalism. Highly recommend going there instead. Later that same day, we returned to Miner's Landing to grab some ice cream and sat down as a family to enjoy it. Out of nowhere, the same host we had issues with earlier walked by us, snapped her fingers, made strange gestures, and taunted our group -- completely unprovoked. Her actions were incredibly disrespectful, and understandably, one of us responded to her behavior. We loudly said that we would go to the restaurant and ask for a manager, but the host ran to him first. When the manager arrived to "confront" us. In which case the host came back to point us out like we were in the wrong, it became clear the host had not been truthful about the situation. The manager had very little to say once we explained what actually happened. Additionally we let security know about the harassment from the employee in which case he said he would go speak to them. It's disheartening to see such a nice-looking restaurant employ individuals who act this way. Even if you're having a bad day, going out of your way to taunt a family -- especially when we weren't engaging with you in any way -- is completely unacceptable. That kind of behavior has no place in customer service. Safe to say, we will never be returning. If you're in the area, save yourself the trouble and walk over to Ivar's -- where the staff treats you with the respect every customer deserves

The variety of seafood here is just so amazing, and it's all so fresh and delicious. The ambiance is great, making it a perfect place for a family gathering or a date and the service was even better. The atmosphere is great, with a fun mix of toys and games, and a kid-friendly menu that's delicious. Even my picky eater daughter enjoyed her meal. And of course, I had to get their lobster. My son just loved it.. We'll definitely be coming back soon.

The food was decent, the location is what sold us! It was a beautiful view, sitting outside in the summer was the best. The service was great and they were accommodating of our dietary restrictions. It is on the pricy side but we would definitely recommend. Great place to bring your family when they are visiting Seattle

Entrees were really amazing. I finished my plate and left me wanting some more. (Pasta). The fish and chips, came with really fresh tasting tar tar sauce. The downside was the dessert, it was still really cold when it was serviced and felt like it was kind hard. Besides that the service was great and the view was really nice.

Who doesn't love a long happy hour?? This restaurant was located right under the Great Wheel with views of the water. A little too cold to sit outside but the option is there. Happy hour was 4 to close and had plenty of food and drink options to choose from. The bar had a very friendly atmosphere and the bartender was very attentive. Had to knock a star off because the crab dip was too smooth and creamy. Lacked the seafood bits!

This place seemed rather empty when we arrived, but we assumed it was because everyone was eating outside on the balcony. Good choice of seafood as you would expect, and I have no problems with the food at all. What did annoy me was that wine is only listed by the glass on the menu. I asked if they sold it by the bottle - they do. Great! Except that I didn't ask for the price of the bottle until seeing the bill at the end. Rip-off doesn't even come close. Extortion is more like it. Won't be going back there any time soon

Beautiful setting on the water! We had a lovely table with a beautiful view. Our server was very slow to take our order and seemed disorganized with bringing out our food. Appetizer arrived with our meal and the bread was not brought to us until we were almost finished with our meal. We ordered the Crab Dip and sent it back because it was EXTREMELY fishy tasting. That is usually a sign that it's not fresh. The rest of our food was just okay, nothing to get excited about. Probably would not return to this restaurant.

So I've been to the San Clemente location a bunch of times. I have now been to the Seattle location twice and I must say... I love both equally as much. Wait staff attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Ambiance is killer both are oceanfront properties obviously different weather permitting. This time I tried the Manhattan Red seafood chowder, delicious. A crab boil and always must share the mud pie. I swear the sun came out for an hour it was so good. Highly recommend happy hour as well, it's a must try.

Took a few minutes to figure out where the front door was lol, the walk has all these little cute stores, got a bit side tracked. Seated right away, beautiful view and our server Jared(hopefully spelled correctly) was a delight. Help with finding a meal I can eat. I always view the menu to restaurants first since I have an incredible amount of food allergies, so once I knew what to order but unfortunately some of their items are premixed. I didn't have an opportunity to take pictures of everything but my lunch date had the crab feast and I ordered the garden salad and the BLT with grilled halibut with grilled vegetables on the side. These vegetables were a show stopping! Grilled perfectly and the sandwich was very well put together. The crab feast was a plateful thankfully, but I couldn't figure out if all 3 types of crab was plated or just 2 types. We enjoyed our meal and were happy not to be rushed out due to time limits restrictions were finding at some restaurants. If you're ever at the pier and looking for a good quick spot for a meal, give this place a try. Hopefully you will enjoy! Con: Could not make clams without the wine. Crab BLT is premixed Me tomó unos minutos averiguar dónde estaba la puerta principal, jaja, el paseo tiene todas estas pequeñas tiendas lindas, se puso un poco de lado. Me senté de inmediato, hermosa vista y nuestro camarero Jared (con suerte escrito correctamente) fue una delicia. Ayuda a encontrar una comida que pueda comer. Siempre miro el menú de los restaurantes primero, ya que tengo una cantidad increíble de alergias alimentarias, así que una vez que supe qué pedir, pero desafortunadamente algunos de sus artículos están premezclados. No tuve la oportunidad de tomar fotos de todo, pero mi cita para almorzar tenía el festín de cangrejos y pedí la ensalada de jardín y el BLT con fletán a la parrilla con verduras a la parrilla al lado. ¡Estas verduras fueron una parada de espectáculo! Asado perfectamente y el sándwich estaba muy bien preparado. El festín del cangrejo fue un plato lleno, afortunadamente, pero no pude averiguar si los 3 tipos de cangrejo estaban platos o solo 2 tipos. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida y nos alegramos de no haber salido a toda prisa debido a las restricciones de tiempo que se estaban encontrando en algunos restaurantes. Si alguna vez estás en el muelle y buscas un buen lugar rápido para comer, prueba este lugar. ¡Espero que lo disfrutes! Contra: No pude hacer almejas sin el vino. Crab BLT está premezclado 花了几分钟才弄清楚前门在哪里,哈哈,人行道上有所有这些可爱的小商店,有点偏了。 立刻就座,美丽的景色,我们的服务员Jared(希望拼写正确)令人高兴。 帮我找一顿我能吃的饭菜。我总是先看餐厅的菜单,因为我对食物过敏的数量非常多,所以一旦我知道该点什么,但不幸的是,他们的一些项目是预先混合的。 我没有机会拍下所有东西的照片,但我的午餐约会有螃蟹盛宴,我点了花园沙拉和BLT配烤比目鱼和烤蔬菜。 这些蔬菜真是一场演出!烤得很完美,三明治做得非常好。 谢天谢地,螃蟹盛宴是满盘的,但我搞不清楚是所有3种螃蟹都是盘子还是只有2种。 我们很享受我们的饭菜,很高兴没有因为一些餐厅的时间限制而被赶出去。 如果你曾经在码头寻找一个快速吃饭的好地方,那就试试这个地方吧。希望你会喜欢! 缺点:没有酒就不能做蛤蜊。 螃蟹BLT是预混合的

This was a good waterfront restaurant with a good view. They were pleasant and accommodating when we asked to be moved into an area with a better view. Solid kids menu. Crab cakes were delicious! Crab Feast was also good. We enjoyed the chowder, but the salad was a bit...basic. Our server was pleasant, but we kept running out of room because plates were not being picked up in a timely manner. It wasn't super busy, so it was easy to get a table.

My wife and I recently stopped here while on our honeymoon and...wow! I ordered the salmon BLT, which was the best BLT I've ever had. My wife ordered the clam chowder, which she was very much into. With a spot right on the water and quick friendly service, this resturant is a MUST try!

Was told to seat ourselves at the bar and waited for 10 minutes for service in an empty restaurant and when we asked a waitress for a menu we got the eyeroll with "Brooke's your waitress" and continued to wait for a couple more minutes while we watched four waiters hangout at the register. We were told we could move to the normal part and decided we didn't want to trust them with our food.

Delicious food with an incredible view of the water. The pricing was a bit high in comparison to the rest of the city though the quality of food was exceptional. Portions were large and drinks were heavy-handed. We did have an awkward encounter with who we later found out was the manager. He had approached our table to have a conversation but didn't introduce himself and didn't have a name tag. We thought he was a random person as he was casually dressed and didn't ask about the food or service, just asking if we were traveling. Overall just awkward, we had to ask our waiter who he was. Beware the chairs. All of us were very uncomfortable, and awkward shape, we skipped dessert because of how uncomfortable we were.

We stopped in for dinner and ate outside. It was a pretty view, but the chairs are super uncomfortable. Our server was very knowledgeable. The sourdough bread was really good! I enjoyed my shrimp/fish and fry platter. My husband said the salmon was cooked a little well. It's in a tourist area, so knowing what to expect, it was alright.

Let me start with the positive. They make great cocktails. We went for dinner on 3/30/25. We started in the bar and the cocktails were a great bang for your buck. We ordered dinner. My sister ordered Halibut tacos, I asked what the fresh fish was. She told me Halibut and Swordfish. My swordfish was brought out, so overcooked I couldn't even cut it with a fork. Rubbery beyond. I did get the fish taken off bill. My reorder...Halibut tacos. They were ok. One tiny piece of halibut in each taco. Super disappointed because I live so close to the San Clemente one. In addition our waitress was very inattentive. Just a bummer. Ambiance and Location

Maybe this restaurant is better if you don't go for the great wheel experience. But I took my significant other for the great Will experience. It's two hours of dining in the gondola with a beautiful view of Seattle. It's something that would be great for a love is blind date. It's a small close space but you can have conversation and go around a few times and have a meal. It just wasn't that good. The food wasn't that good. The service wasn't that good. It was very expensive and not presented well enough for the ticket price. I think they're better places to have seafood in Seattle. i've been on the great wheel and just recommend going on the great wheel and separating that from eating dinner unless they figure out a way to really amp up the dining experience, I wouldn't recommend it

Went for a long walk with a friend, ended up on the waterfront & both agreed we wanted clam chowder - was about 3p on a Sunday afternoon. Was seated upstairs and sat there for at least 10m looking at the menu with empty water glasses. Server finally came by, she was nice & apologized for the wait. We ordered NA beers (they were good), bread (wasn't bad), clam chowders (they were OK) & split an order of fried calamari strips (horrible). The calamari strips were processed & pressed pieces of something warmed slightly in the microwave. The chowders were warmish. Server did come by once to check on us, but nothing after that. Empty beers, water glasses, plates on the table. Luckily, we were talking & passing the time & would have liked another round of beers, but finally decided to get h*** out. I was on the way to the restroom, saw her & just said "we need the check". Was taken care of when I got back to the table & we left. Overall: it was a VERY disappointing meal & service & overall lousy experience. I VERY seldom post reviews, but in this case - I had to.

Outstanding service, phenomenal food and some of the best seafood I have eaten. My husband and several new friends we met for our upcoming cruise all come here and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend

I enjoy coming here every time I visit Seattle. Great fish and chips. Cozy atmosphere on the pier. Friendly staff.

Clean and beautiful inside, second floor view right next to the great wheel is fantastic, wait staff are friendly and engaged with their customers. Prices seemed high until we were served, so much food! Both types of crab prepared perfectly, and the new england chowder was best I've found in years! Forgot my coat, and after a cross town uber trip, I called, but they didn't find it. Five minutes later, they called me back to say they did find it and held it for me to pick up the next day. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, great people! Thank you, Fisherman's!

Stopped in for late lunch after our Aquarium tour and what a TOURIST TRAP! Clam chowder was excellent!!! We did one of the fish and chip platters and just plain downright awful. Very little fries, which is the cheapest thing that they can put in the basket but nope, I want to say maybe 15 fries if that.

My family and I went here for the patio and view from the Pier. The inside seating seemed a little dated, but the patio was nice, with umbrellas at each table. They are RIGHT beneath The Great Wheel, which drips, making you think it's raining, but it's really the water they use to cool the mechanics of the wheel. The service could have been much better. We waited over an hour for everyone's main entrees to arrive. We were a group of 8 people. Appetizers came almost 40 minutes ahead of the main entrees. Our waiter was friendly, but no explanation or apology was made for our wait. My husband and I ordered the crab feast with, which came with chowder, salad, mussels and clams, and a platter of Dungeness, King, and Snow crab. It was all good. I can't say it was the best, though, given the high price. However, you're on the Pier in the heart of Seattle, so that's what you're paying for. I don't think I'd return here again, but if I did, I'd order some chowder and enjoy the view.

Fresh off the Ferris wheel and hungry we popped in here for a quick bite for lunch. We were seated right away at a table with gorgeous views outside. The service was quick, the clam chowder was exactly what I needed to hit the spot, and the sourdough bread was crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Although nothing stood out as spectacular or unique, the food was good, the service matched, and it was a lovely place to enjoy a nice lunch.

I stopped by the Fisherman's for lunch and was promptly greeted and seated. The food was ok but nothing to rave about. The King Crab salad BLT sandwich was delicious but I found it a tad salty and the Captain's margarita tasted more like a lemonade. That said, my server was attentive and polite. What I enjoyed most was the simple nautical décor and views. The restaurant shares a walkway with the Seattle Great Wheel so you'll enjoy that view along with the waterfront.

First time to Seattle. Was looking forward to fresh seafood. Both of us got fish and chips (halibut). So disappointed. The fish was extremely thin and way overcooked. May have even been refried leftovers. Would not recommend.

The food was really flavorful and fresh tasty. I had the salmon BLT and is was really great. It had grilled salmon on it. It came with fries that were perfectly cooked and salty. Not to much. My friend had the warm crab salad sandwich and she loved it. We sat outside on the patio and had a very friendly server help us. He was so helpful in helping us pick our food, to moving the umbrella to give us shade. It was a pleasure to enjoy the sunshine and watch the Ferris wheel right next to us. It was a perfect afternoon spot.

Visiting Seattle with beautiful weather and looking for a restaurant with a view. While other places near the water had long waits, this restaurant was able to seat us right away. Lots of patio dining but tables are a bit crowded. The views on the bottom level are ok and there is plenty of shade as well. I tried the halibut fish tacos and the crispy fish tacos and they were a bit bland. Could use additional seasoning or salsa. Server was friendly and helpful in making recommendations.
