Lakeside restaurant with beautiful scenery.The price is moderate, there are couples and families gathering, and the place is full of guests, so you need to book a table in advance.There are many packages to choose from.Today I ordered salad, halibut, crab cakes, asparagus, and red potatoes. Paired with beer, it felt great!

Went there for Easter brunch buffet. Wasn't the greatest experience. The food was adequate at best. For a place that took reservations, it was chaotic. You were shown to your table but not given any directions. They had two stations and they both had lines that were quite long. The main line I stood in for about 20 minutes before even getting to the plates. The chicken, salmon, and beef were dry and the beef tough. The French toast was almost black and the pancakes cold and looked like they were made by a machine and then warmed up. The fruit was non-seasonal so it was adequate. Looked for fish and chips and didn't find any. Looked for the fried calamari and didn't find any. Both of those items were on the menu but not available at 10:45 which was my reservation time. When I asked for tea it came in a paper cup as they said they were really busy and ran out of mugs. I would not recommend this place unless all you're looking for is the ambiance of looking at the space Needle from your table. Disappointed at $50 a person before tax and tip. It should have been much better.

Easter brunch was terrible. Long lines, empty dishes, mediocre food when you did get some. The employees were miserable.

Stopped at the fish bar for Ivar's birthday promotion. We got the celebratory cupcake and the birthday fish and chip deals. A bit chilly, we ate in the dining room, a real nostalgic throwback. Happy Birthday, Ivar! And Thank You for all you've done for our city.

Ivar's is iconic. The Salmon House is my favorite of their locations. Tucked under the ship canal bridge with a view of Lake Union, it's a little off the beaten path so there are fewer tourists or commuters, and the vibe is just that much more relaxed.Food is a little pricy, but it's a nice casual experience with friends.

Really delicious restaurant with a beautiful view. We stopped here for lunch and the service and food were phenomenal. We really enjoyed the view while we ate our lunch. There are lots of gluten free options and the staff is very helpful if you have allergen concerns. It was easy to accommodate my dairy allergy without issues here. Best place in Seattle to get crab legs and salmon.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy freeKid-friendliness: Dedicated kids menu with good options at a good price

The atmosphere is really nice, you can sit by the windows of the lake and enjoy the sunset. The food is really mediocre, beef is dry and tastes bit old! Salmon is overcooked… it’s really more like the fast food standard. Service is
