Ivar's has become somewhat of a chain over the year's, but their chowder is still good, especially if you are strolling along the seafront.
If you have some time on your hands and want some exceptional dining in a beautiful location, then consider the Salish Lodge (approx. 30 miles from Seattle).
They have an award winning menu and the view of Snoqualmie Falls is breathtaking (if you recall the waterfalls shown at the start of the TV series "Twin Peaks", then you have seen it):
Bon appetit,
