Located on Lake Union, Ivar's has an amazing view of downtown. There is plenty of outdoor seating, which is perfect for summer time visits. Ivar’s Salmon house is also a an excellent place to bring out of town guests who are not accustom to Seattle.
I should also mention that the food is good. I have only order the Fish and Chips and the Clam Chowder. No need for me to try anything else, because this is what I come to Ivar's for.
The bar, The Whalemaker (ask the bar tender the origin of the name) has on of the best happy hour around.
I am also a fan of the decor. If you have time, walk around the restaurant for a while and check out the various Northwest artifacts and memorabilia.
