Sautéed Clams ($21) – The star of the meal. Generous portion of tender, perfectly steamed clams swimming in a light, buttery broth with hints of white wine. Loved the fresh dill and the mix of carrots and celery adding brightness. The toasted bread was ideal for soaking up every drop—and I did. At $21, this felt like solid value for the quality and portion size.
Seafood Cocktail ($16) – A chilled tower of fresh crab and plump shrimp, topped with sesame seaweed salad for a nice twist on the traditional presentation. The cocktail sauce had good kick without overpowering the seafood. Clean, fresh, no complaints—though at $16, it’s a lighter portion if you’re hungry.
Service & Vibe: Sat at the bar top, service was efficient for a 2 PM visit. Nothing remarkable, but no issues either.
Bottom line: A reliable waterfront spot when you’re craving fresh, no-fuss seafood. The sautéed clams are the move. Keep clam.

We had a fantastic experience at Ivar’s Acres of Clams, right on the waterfront in Seattle.
The atmosphere was wonderful—relaxed, lively, and classic Seattle. We sat in the bar area at a high table and appreciated that they offer happy hour cocktails and food, along with a full dinner menu.
Ray ordered an Old Fashioned and absolutely loved it—the bourbon selection was great, and the balance and mix were spot on. I had a mule, which was also very good. For food, Ray ordered the cioppino and I had the coconut shrimp, and everything was excellent. Truly marvelous from start to finish.
Our server, bartender, and mixologist was Justin, and he was a pleasure—gracious, knowledgeable about the menu, and clearly very skilled at mixing drinks. Ray also had a chance to speak with the manager at the end of our visit, who was equally kind and welcoming.
If you’re looking for great drinks, delicious food, and a classic waterfront Seattle atmosphere, this is absolutely a place we would recommend.

The food was great. Delicious, fill your belly to the brim great. I had my fill of Northwest seafood on my visit and it was glorious. Service was spot on. But along with the great food and service were the amazing views. Just happened to be eating at sunset and you can’t ask for much more than what we got with the sun’s rays shooting over Elliott Bay while we ate. It was a great evening and sitting among all the history of the pier and Ivar Haglund, it really made it feel like an authentic Seattle experience. Love his motto too, “KEEP CLAM!”

Right on the water and convenient. We’re taking the ferry and had an hour so hopped over to get some food. They have a walk-up area with some seating right on the boardwalk, and then inside. They have casual Cafe eating and dining with inside tables that has a more limited menu, and then a full dining room with a full menu. If you want to do that, of course that takes more time. Service was great. Restaurant was very nice. Your view is great z

We just wanted a nice meal and seat with a view. The atmosphere was nice and the service was wonderful, but the food was quite unpleasant.
Halibut had bad flavor and was over cooked but had good potatoes and side veg. Another dish was Alaskan salmon the first time it came out it was dry and hard, then the second time it was raw. The shrimp scampi was really oily and shrimp was rubbery.
The manager was kind and tried to do his best in making the situation better for us but we just had to leave.
To the staff you all were sweet and helpful. Friendly smiles and a warmth made the visit just a little bit better.
The food was flat out not good. None of the dishes had a redeeming quality.
Big fat bummer!

I stopped at Ivar’s on a work trip with a colleague. Delicious seafood with tasty fried clams and creamy clam chowder. We sat down by the water and made good friends with the local seagulls as they waited for bits to be thrown into the air or water.

I want to give you a review that I will be posting. That’s both Sweet and salty..
During our trip to Seattle, we picked to eat at the historical Ivers at clam acres. I have to say the cocktails were presented very well and very delectable. The food which includes the pretzel bites the clam chowder, and the halibut and salmon were beyond delicious. The server we had she was gracious, kind, informative, attentive, and seemed like she really wanted to take care of your customers.
Now let’s get into the salty part and I’m not talking about the food! When we departed, we were walking down the sidewalk and realized we left a bag on the table within 15 minutes , we returned to the restaurant!
My significant other went in to the area where we were seated and asked our server if she had found the bag. She graciously stated yes I gave it to the host upfront. You can retrieve it there next to my significant other, went up to the host and asked about the bag. The host which I’ll identify the young man with the purple hair was wishy-washy about the bag. He finally went to the closet and retrieved a bag and said is it in a blue Seattle bag? My significant other said yes it has a little boys hat and a little boy’s T-shirt in it.
The host then said well what color is the hat? What color is the T-shirt? My significant other said the hat has a bear on it. Then the host still trying to be antagonistic said well what color is the bear . At this point I was very irritated with the way we were being treated to retrieve our property. We had just left the place. It wasn’t that busy and I did not think we should have to go above and beyond to prove that it was ours. I finally stated the T-shirt and hat is for my grandson. There’s two receipts in there with my credit card number on them give me the bag. And then I said you’re being extremely rude after retrieving the bag.
After we started walking towards the door, the host with the purple hair kept saying very loud loudly bye now bye-bye as if he wanted us to come back for a confrontation.
My significant other turned back around cause he had enough of the behavior and instigating antagonistic ways of this host.
He informed him that his behavior was horribly inappropriate and the way he treated us was disrespectful.
We should not have to plead with the host of the business to get our property back and it should not be that complicated and then to be treated in such a manner after we just dropped about $150 on drinks and appetizers.
Iver’s whole hospitality environment says upscale, however, the way we were treated by the purple haired host really put it below getting a hotdog at a truck stop.
I I travel all over the country and out for my j career and I am dumbfounded why a restaurant of this caliber would have such a disrespectful and bad taste host greeting their customers in setting the tone for the start of the evening and the end of the evening!
If our entire dinner would’ve been like this, we would never come back! And we will be telling all of our friends of the good and the bad! So just remember as management you know all it takes is one person on your staff to penalize the rest of your staff on your customer Base whether they are repeat or they take their business elsewhere and trust me in Seattle there’s a lot of competition!

Great spot! The food was tasty and the atmosphere/view was incredible. I had the fish and chips and the cider on tap. If you are visiting the area, I would 10 out 10 recommendation.

Delicious seafood restaurant on the water. We ordered the bread basket, clam chowder, Cajun salmon and chips and halibut and chips. Everything was tasty. Possibly the best clam chowder I’ve ever had. The service was nice and friendly. They have various seating options. I went for midweek lunch. There was a 5 min wait for an inside table near the window. I would highly recommend.

The casual Fish Bar had a long line and we wanted our out of the country family to really have a terrific lunch experience. The weather was good ideal for sitting on the deck. The lunch menu had very affordable options and the clam chowder always is the best! We had such a wonderful meal!
