I was here on a work trip. We waited 45 minutes just to get our tickets. We were not told in advance that there would be 20% for our party until we were checking out. This impacted per diem for our company cards. The waiter was not attentive. She also charged us double even though we were there during the happy hour special; she had to correct that. It was not good service. The food was okay; the best thing about the spot was being near the water and seeing the sunset. Otherwise, there are far better restaurants near the water in Seattle.

Servers, especially Jasmine, were great! Food was very good, however, all three meals were lukewarm, at best, when they arrived. We ordered two bottles of Prosecco and they were not nearly cold enough. I had indicated that this was for a birthday, and was a bit disappointed to see that it was not acknowledged at all. Still, even with those issues, it was a magical night. I would still recommend this experience, but I hope the restaurant will take measures to improve the food service.

Did the great wheel dining for my one-year anniversary. They didn't have our reservation, and stuck us in a dark corner for over an hour while they tried to get us on the wheel, server only came by 3 times, food was good but the drinks were way too light and overpriced. I'd go again but definitely not for the wheel.

ABYSMAL For starters it was Valentines Day which happened to be our 10 year wedding anniversary. We noted that on our OpenTable reservation and asked for a "nice" table. We were seated in some noisy patio area and immediately asked if we could be moved to a different area of the restaurant that was not even half full. I was told those table were already reserved for other patrons. My wife was not satisfied with the answer and told the hostess we would wait for a better table (to which she said it might be 20 minutes or more). Within about 10 minutes we were seated in the area we requested. Not one other person was seated in that area for the remainder of time we were there; so the BS about those tables being reserved for other patrons was clearly a lie. Then we waited another 30 minutes before drinks or anything was served. When the food arrived arrived some 45 minutes later the appetizer came and then only minutes later the entre arrived (don't need to explain how wrong that is). The other bonus is that we ordered the Valentine's Day package which was supposed to be King salmon; we were served farmed salmon (if you do not know about farmed salmon, pesticides and carcinogens, I suggest you look it up). Our server was very nice and we tipped him extra because of it. MESSAGE TO MANAGEMENT: As a business owner myself, I can tell you a successful business is dependent on quality, honesty and customer experience. Repeat business is the key. As looked around at the less than half full restaurant on Valentine's Day which should be the busiest day of the year, I could not help but see the self fulfilling prophecy unfolding before me. We will never return. Fisherman's Restaurant & Bar-Seattle loosing business one customer at a time. Good luck with that.

7:48pm. Business hours showed closes at 8:30pm. Owner or manager told us we are closed. Tried tipping $100.00 bill for a seat at the bar and was asked to leave

Just walking distance from seattle downtown, we found this restaurant for waterfront view dining and were not disappointed at all, and we ended up going twice,1st time we ordered their special sea food feast, you have various options, but have to order twice as given price is per person, & you must order for two. Service was fast,and food was plenty and delicious. Next visit we ordered seafood chowder, and their catch of day and halibut fish&chips and everything was good, not extraordinary but tasted good and portions were big enough.Bit pricey when you add tax&tips.I have added their given menu.

We love the Cioppino that can actually be had in the bar so you can avoid the lines when it’s high tourist season. Come hungry and thirsty!

Outstanding dinner experience on the Great Wheel. Attentive staff and excellent service. I would recommend some kind of warning when the experience is about to end as we hadn't finished our desserts when we learned it was time to de board. Night view of Seattle was amazing. Cabin was a bit cool as the heater seemed to work intermittently. Portions were large but could have benefitted from more seasoning. Wonderful time!
The location is fantastic the service even better. This was our first time to Fisherman in Seattle we usually go to the one in San Clemente which is also an excellent venue . The food was good and the service was great.

Delicious fresh seafood! The ocean view was beautiful. Our waiter was educational and exceptional. There were several non seafood options for those who don’t prefer seafood
Fantastic dinner on The Wheel for our 25th Anniversary. Jasmine and the whole crew created a magical evening. Highly recommend for special occasions in a clear night with the city lights.

I brought my wife here for our 20th anniversary. The server Shawn was the best. Made sure the whole experience was explained and brought her a rose which made her very happy. we enjoyed the skyline and seeing ships and boats on the water. Very nice experience and will be back again.

I’m always nervous to order a shrimp po’boy, the fear that it will be mostly bread. This was not the case! Piping hot shrimp, good shrimp-to-breading ratio, a solid lowkey sandwich!

On a trip to Seattle, our family went to The Crab Pot for lunch. This was a great find since we had a large group and many restaurants could not take us without a long wait. Great crab cakes and chowder. Our group loved everything. Well worth a stop if you are in the area.
