270th New Thing - Ate at Ivar's

I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 2 days ago (Mon 7/16/12).

 

We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends went from Seattle to Canada, then back to Seattle WA. First, we drove about 3 hour from Vancouver south to through border patrol and to Seattle. Then we checked in our hotel and went to Ivar's Original Acres of Clams for dinner. Ivar’s is Seattle’s most historic full service seafood restaurant is poised on Seattle’s colorful waterfront at Pier 54 that has been a tradition since 1938. This restaurant has a wharf-like feel which showcases stellar waterfront views of Washington State ferries, Fire Station #3’s waterside operations, and Puget Sound. We ordered 2 cups of Ivar’s Famous Clam Chowder $10 (Northwest style white clam chowder with a smoky hint of bacon and red clam chowder), 6 Fresh Oyster Shooters $8, and Grilled Fresh Alaska Sockeye Salmon $25 (opal basil vinaigrette, roasted zucchini, grilled Walla Walla sweet onions,
sun-dried tomato, toasted pine nuts, mashed Yukon gold potatoes). Everything was sooooo good. I love seafood!

What did you do today?
