Loved the food and ambience. It was a total surprise with the taste we were just randomly exploring new restaurants/eateries and we came across this one.

It looked like a fast food at first l, which was a bit confusing.
But after adjusting to that I can say food is very good and made with no mistakes.
After my meal I understood the place serves much better food then it looks.

I thought everything was very good. Just my opinion, I added a piece of fish to my order. It was $4.50. I thought that was high for the size. Of course, just visiting the area.

My wife's grilled Salmon was very good.

Ordered through Uber eats for pickup .
Salmon and clams did not have any taste .

The red Salmon soup didn't even have a hint of salmon.

Contacted restaurant first for a resolution they could not do anything . Other locations are much better .

Go get some fish n chips and some clam chowder! Then go sit along the water with the seagulls!!! THEN FEED THE SEAGULLS! The birds are smart, they'll wait, they're patient for those delicious fries! Toss em, leave em on the ground... But I really suggest holding a big fry up and letting a seagull grab it from your fingertips! Go enjoy yourselves!

Wheelchair accessibility: The seafood bar and covered seating are accessible. The waterfront seating must go down about 6 steps.

Via Uber eats, Chowder had plenty of clams and Cod Fish was battered perfectly and tasted great.

Has to be the best Ivars location. Good old fashioned customer service, clean and a beautiful view. Fries are cooked perfectly and the chowder was on point.

We visited on Sunday. There were few people. The staff seemed to be abstracted and were chatting pleasantly about their business, not paying attention to the guests. As a result, the food is impossible to eat! Dirt everywhere! Shame!

Fantastic, the fried fish was super delicious.
Oysters and chips, which are my favorite were kinda of a small oyster portion but were good.

Kid-friendliness: Good for the kids, nice normal environment.
