    Hot chocolate
    Melissa W.

    The costumer service here is great. They also sell hot chocolate since it can get a little windy down by the water.

    Rip off. Pieces of fish are smaller than my finger

    Rip Off. $14 for an order of fish and chips pieces of fish are barely the size of my index finger.

    Crab bisque
    Mai L.

    We made a reservation in advance and were lucky enough to be sat next to the window so we were able to overlook the water. Our server came over immediately to give us menus and bring water. I ordered crab bisque and the seafood risotto. Our server brought some bread over shortly after we ordered. It was warm and came with whipped butter. Yum. The crab bisque was delicious. I got some chunks of crab in there so that was great. My seafood risotto was packed with seafood! There was halibut, cod, salmon, and shrimp in it. All was good. The risotto itself was just okay. I little watery than I would've liked. I was sooo stuffed by my coworkers wanted dessert so I got chocolate cream that came in a pizzelle cookie. It also had some raspberry sauce on the plate. It was a perfect way to finish the meal.

    3 Piece Fish 'N Chips

    Nice lunch for mothers 84th birthday Server was super attentive. Food was good. Quality of fish is there. Tacos were very tasty and well prepared. The view at this location is wonderful. A nice casual place to eat. Do recommend trying it out.

    Service was excellent along with view. Food was prompt and hot. The crab however did not taste very fresh and was yellow throughout with a metallic aftertaste. It didn't taste bad but was dry and just not like dungeoness should be. The oysters tasted great. The salad tasted great with the smoked scallops. However the salmon was super dry and difficult to even cut through. The king salmon entree was excellent. That dish was perfect. Salmon was tender, brocolini was crisp tender, and mashed potatoes were very tasty. The price for these dishes, the food should all be excellent. It's unfortunate...

    Used the party room for an event. Staff were attentive and helpful through the whole process from the first phone call to helping us wrap up. They were attentive to our needs and were conscious of not over or under selling us. The food was delicious and the buffet attended to well.

    Possession Sound Paella
    Alana K.

    I was excited to try Ivar's during my first trip to the West Coast, but found the food to be a little lackluster. I went for dinner around 7:30pm with a party of four and was able to get a table easily. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful and since it's right on the water, there's an excellent view. We ordered the Possession Sound paella, Ivar's famous cod fish 'n' chips, and the Alaskan halibut in a tomato and fennel broth. I thought the paella had a decent amount of seafood in it and was tasty, but not really a paella. The Alaskan halibut was okay but nothing special. While the service was great, I can't say I would return any time soon since I wasn't that impressed by the food. While Ivar's is a really nice restaurant, better seafood can be found elsewhere.

    Original Cod Fish and Chips
    Latifa S.

    Pulling in here is always great. Be it in your car for that very long ferry wait to Langley ( which I've done so many times) or just to come to the beach! Once you enter / cross the beach, there's the ferry, seagulls, seagulls singing, the beach; the light house, the waves. And this! Just so beachy! Been here a few too many times yesterday being my recent visit. Yesterday was also the day seattle has our first 70 degrees weather... everyone was out! Lines are huge!! Even here, but for ice cream! Luckily, they had 2 lines. Ice cream line vs anything fried food line. I went for the latter. They are known for true cod and chips but for some reason, I always like their shrimp & chips more. Or even clams & chips. Jumbo prawns & chips is the way to go. Always super sweet giant prawns with freshly fried fries. I usually don't eat the fries but prawns are definitely delicious especially with their tartar sauce. The true cod! Still not my favorite but it's still tasty. You can get it Cajun style if you want spice and it is spicyyyyy. I got mixed but you can tell by the color. The wait wasn't too bad even on such a busy day. I usually order, walk the pier with my pup and pick up the food. Fish & chips by the sea? You just have to do it! Luckily, their food is tasty! Always a good stop!

    Loving the bread before we eat!
    Taylor R.

    We went here for lunch around 1pm on a Saturday. They were following all the COVID protocols and sat us outside on the patio on the pier with a great view of the ferry. They attended to us quickly with water and fresh bread (SO fresh and warm and delicious). I wasn't sure what beer I wanted so our server was nice enough to let me sample two before I picked one. Most of the group had fish and chips, while I had clam chowder and a house salad. The clam chowder here is super creamy (and is very different from Duke's). It was slightly not seasoned enough for me but I think that is a personal preference. Food came out hot and we all enjoyed our meals. This is a nice location if you're looking to have a meal outside with a great view--recommended!

    Sophie W.

    Yum yum yum. We stopped off at Ivar's before heading over to Whidbey and it was so delicious. The wait took a lot less time than they predicted so that was a nice surprise! Everything we ordered was so tasty and I hope to be back soon.

    Fish sticks!
    Connie B.

    $18 for fish and chips. The French fries were almost bigger than my fish sticks. Won't be returning that's for sure.

Our local…read morenews station did a story highlighting local businesses and this was one of the businesses they chose. I have always wanted to pop in, and was happy to finally have a chance to stop by. Parking can be a little difficult depending on the time of day. It is located near the Mukilteo ferry and although this place doesn't have it's own parking lot there is street parking. Depending on the time of day it can be easy or difficult to find a spot. The shop is small, but does have two small tables for customers to enjoy their treats. We saw a lot of chocolates, ice cream and all kinds of other non-chocolate candy! We ended up getting birthday cake ice cream cone for my little one and a box of 9 chocolates. This was our first time in a chocolate shop so I was happy to see that you can customize your own boxes of chocolates. We tried nine different flavors and all were delicious, but my personal favorites were the almond clusters (both milk chocolate and white chocolate) and orange! As far as the ice cream goes, well she gobbled it all up and has no complaints! The lady who helped us was very friendly, patient and was able to answer all my questions about the different flavors. We spent about $27 on the ice cream cone and box of nine chocolates. The prices were a little up there, but it is worth it when you want a nice treat!

It took 30 minutes to check out two people, even when we were the only two there and I'd politely mentioned, several times, that I had a time crunch. The check out person took each truffle, examined it, put it on a tray, didn't weigh the tray or anything, examined it again, then put it in a box. She stopped while ringing me up, adding whole sentences unrelated to the chocolate or store. I don't even know what she was talking about. I'm really sad to say, I found a chocolate store that I dislike.
