The Owner
Ivar's Salmon House
Owner
For reflective Northwest cuisine and a unique atmosphere, visit Seattle's Ivar's Salmon House. It's a beautiful cedar replica of a NW Indian Longhouse, complete with an open-pit Native American-style barbecue for preparing succulent alder-smoked dishes. You'll enjoy memorable meals surrounded by spectacular views of boats cruising Lake Union & Seattle's skyline.
This Seattle seafood restaurant boasts favorite daily entrees and fresh-sheet selections include alder-smoked salmon & chicken, prawns and seasonal seafood specials. Stop by after work or anytime for twice-daily/evening happy hour featuring food and drink specials.
Sunday Brunch is also a well-loved family tradition, and the outdoor Fish Bar offers casual lakeside dining or quick take-out food. There's also an extensive wine selection at Ivar's Salmon Hose, the finest Seattle seafood restaurant around.

In Short
Residents bring guests here because the restaurant is so representative of the Seattle area's past. Housed in a replica of an Indian longhouse and decorated with dugout canoes, Salmon House provides visitors with Native American artifacts, a stellar waterfront view and of course, seafood. Salmon and black cod are broiled over a smoky alder fire and served with corn bread. Entrees include pasta and seafood, plus fried halibut or cod and french fries.

This place has some amazing clam chowder. They can serve it in the sourdough bowl as well. The best in Washington by far. The only place better in the Piers in San Fransisco.

We go here at least a couple of times a year during the summer. They have a great outside deck here by the water, part of which is more the bar area and part is the main dining room. Some of the food is very good, some is just good. Their salmon is usually very good, cooked just right and a variety of ways. You can also just get more simple food like fish and chips or their famous chowder (red or white).

This is a happy hour worth going to. Great drinks, good food, and cheap prices! Definitly give it a try. Bonus, we drive right up on our boat and there is typically plenty of dock space.
