I was looking for a savory salmon and I found it at this place. It was really combination of smoky flavors and great texture. I also liked the halibut and the sauce and the bread was really incredible. Staff worked diligently to serve it. Staff also cleaned up very quickly after each costumer.

We only stopped here for ice cream, not a full meal, and unfortunately it was really disappointing. The texture wasn’t great, and the flavors were so faint that it would have been impossible to guess what they were without being told. For such poor quality, the price was shocking — $30 for just three scoops. Definitely not worth it.

We stopped for lunch on August 13, 2025. Ordered smoked salmon and Jo, Jo's. The salmon was good but almost cold, and Jo Jo's were cold and almost burnt.
Terrible. Cod was so tough it was almost uneatable. Grossly overpriced.
This place has better location but the food quality and prices are subpar. Go to ivars down the street instead. You’ll be happier.

This location had a wide variety of food to choose from at a good price. Also the view outside was amazing.

Came here on a whim, as we were cruising the pier and got hungry before our reservation at the nearby aquarium. The prices were a bit high, but what do you expect from a heavy traffic, tourist area.
I got a simple Caesar salad, my son got the chicken tenders, and my boyfriend; the fish and chips. Seating was a bit rough, it was extremely packed and we had to wait a bit until someone left. The outdoor patio seating by the water was beautiful.
The workers bring the food to your table, and they have a condiment station with a water dispenser, where you get those things yourself. My salad was fine, hard to mess up a salad. My son and boyfriend’s fried food items were okay. My boyfriend’s fried halibut was a little tough? A weird texture for something advertising halibut, as it’s usually more tender and smooth. But the batter portion of the fish and chicken were good. My son’s chicken tenders were a bit tough too and he only ate a little bit of it.
Overall, a good location for this restaurant if you want just a quick bite, but nothing too crazy. Just be prepared to spend a little.

The salmon was excellent, so fresh! The salmon dinner plate comes with coleslaw, bread, and chips. It’s in a great location. Prices are what you would expect for being on the water. They have clean indoor and outdoor tables. Food was ready rapidly. The 4% service charge for a restaurant that doesn’t have wait service is annoying. Price your items accordingly without a hidden fee.

We stopped by here because it was right on the pier and just down from the harbor cruise we were going to. I didn’t even check the reviews since we were on a time crunch. It’s a cafeteria-type ordering system where you pick out your food and beverage, pay, get a number, and they will bring it to your table. I enjoyed a bowl of fish stew, and my son enjoyed his shrimp poor boy sandwich. We both had their microbrewed lager, which was overpriced and average. They have a condiment and lemon-filled water station to refill your water.
There is a 4% service fee. There is no table service besides bringing your own order. Seattle pier prices. Fast turnaround after the order. Clean tables. It wouldn’t be my first choice again, but its location made it right for the time.

Great smoked fish and chips, prices have gone up as you would expect in the year 2025, but for a great taste of the area and some time on the waterfront- it's hard to beat.

Great smoke salmon
The restaurant had a good atmosphere and the staff was nice and service was good, unfortunately my fish was dry and bland, the potato wedges were tasteless and disappointing. The coleslaw was excellent. For a place with salmon in their name, I expected more.
