Ivars Seafood Bar - (Near Renton, WA)

Christine Restaneo We stopped here while driving through Tacoma on a rainy morning to look at properties, and we’re so glad we did. We originally noticed an IHOP and a Denny’s nearby, but Elmer’s caught our eye—and it turned out to be a great decision. The menu was excellent. I ordered a German pancake with lingonberries (they explained it’s similar to a cranberry and raspberry combined), and it was absolutely delicious. I also had the potato pancakes, which were wonderful. Ray ordered the avocado Benedict and said his eggs Benedict was great. The coffee was good and comforting. The atmosphere really stood out—fireplaces inside made it warm and cozy, which was perfect coming in from the rain. Our server, Kyle T., was amazing—very knowledgeable, helped guide me with my order, and made the whole experience even better. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be a regular breakfast spot for us. Highly recommend. PS we love your coffee mugs!!!

Zach Pickard Fish and chips was pretty good, not the best but good enough Id buy again. Moscow mule was good. Credit card fee added if using card

James Hardy My wife and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience / Dinner. We started with salad. I had a half Cesar. Excellent dressing, my wife had the washington apple salad which was also delicious. Our entrees , my wife had the Ravioli evening special and I had the cod fish and chips, very good. Our desserts were the cheese cake and carrot cake and we both found them amazing, really good. For drinks, my wife had a lemon drop which she really enjoyed and I had a local peach cider (Excellent!) Our server was Taylor B and she was personable and and did an excellent job taking care of us. We will be back!

Paul Martin The food was awesome and presented wonderfully. The waitresses were very busy, apologetic, and professional. Pricing was more than reasonable. And the portions were large. We love eating here everytime we come here. And will continue to come here. I recommend this place to anyone.
