Decent Sunday Brunch Buffet, Dinners are good. The regular menu is above average fresh seafood. Especialy enjoy the Sunday Buffet (all you eat) Brunch. Nice selection of Sunday brunch seafood and they refill the food trays quickly wit fresh hot entrees. Good view of the Puget Sound.…
Red Lobster + Huge Markups - Portion = Ivar's Acres of Clams. Easily my worst dining experience in Seattle or any other American city. I had guests from overseas with me, and I felt like a second class citizen! The server took our order then forgot about us. While we waited, tables all around us were turning like crazy. We were about to walk out when they brought the food out with half hearted apologies. Everything felt fake and unprofessional. I will not be going back.…
Brunch was far from great.
My wife and I drove up to Seattle from Portland for a romantic weekend. We went to Ivar's Acres of Clams for Sunday Brunch based on it's reputation.
I was very excited about this as I'm a huge seafood guy. I have to say, however, that the brunch as average at best.
The clams and mussels were a bit cold.
The Eggs Benedict and breakfast sausages were very cold. In fact the hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict had thickened....
The oysters were good and the crab legs were good.
The $3 bloody mary was literally tomato juice and Vodka.
I'd like to visit Ivars again and dine when it's not Brunch time so I can try their regular menu. The Brunch I'll not be back for....…
Overrated. I've lived in Seattle for the past 5 years and have never been to the Ivar's "sit-down" restaurant (Acres of Clams). I've been to the stands outside and had their fish and chips which I always thought was good food so I decided to take some out of town guest to eat inside the actual restaurant. Bad mistake- the waitress was horrible. First the waitress kept talking to us like were on a game show and after she saw the confused looks on our faces finally brought it down a couple of decibels. Then we found the menu to be very limited and all 4 of us ended up ordering off of their anniversary special menu. Thank god for that menu or we would have all had a $16.95 plate of fish and chips (note- we could have gotten it outside at the stand for $5.99). The food itself was on par with what you would find at Red Lobster, the atmosphere left a lot to be desired and our waitress ended up throwing away my sisters post cards that she purchased before dinner in the restaurant's gift shop. All-in-all, my advise is to skip the actual restaurant and just eat outside at the stand for $5.99.…
Food was good, service was bizarre.
Food was well prepared, but uninspired.
Our server acted as if he could not have cared less about us.
When we indicated that we didn't want the expensive special he lost interest entirely.
Took forever to bring our drinks.
Forgot my wife's appetizer entirely. He wanted to cancel it, and seemed disappointed that we still wanted it.
He was totally lacking in friendliness, perhaps he should consider a different line of work like foreclosures.…
