Happy Hour: Daily 3:00 pm-6:00 pm
Originally, Ivar had plans to build a floating restaurant overlooking Lake Union, but after the City of Seattle rejected architect John Adam's design, he built an Adams-designed Indian longhouse on shore instead. In 1971, largely based on the interior of the Salmon House, the Seattle Historical Society gave Haglund and Adams its Award of Merit for historical contributions to Seattle.
When you visit, you will find a beautiful cedar replica of a Northwest Native American Longhouse, complete with an open-pit Native American-style barbecue for preparing succulent alder-smoked dishes. Here, in a dining setting filled with Northwest native art, décor and historical photographs, you'll enjoy memorable meals surrounded by spectacular views of boats cruising Lake Union and Seattle’s skyline.
Favorite daily entrees and fresh-sheet selections include alder-smoked salmon, prawns, alder-smoked chicken, and seasonal seafood specials. The outdoor Fish Bar offers casual lakeside dining or quick take-out food.
To pick up food by boat, we offer a dock to tie up for a quick grab and go. Order ahead to get your fish even faster!

Salmon House Executive Chef Bill Peeples
Chef Bill Peeples
Executive Chef | Ivar's Salmon House
Bill joined the Ivar's Salmon House team in May of 2015, just a few months after relocating to Seattle from his home in South Carolina, where he started on his culinary journey. He quickly impressed all with his skills, and just a year later was promoted to Sous Chef.
Bill embraced the roller coaster that is the Salmon House, and over the past several years worked closely with his General Managers and Chefs to keep it on the tracks. He has been a touchstone for the heart of the Salmon House team, and someone on whom we all heavily relied in our post-COVID refire. And in the midst of it all, he and his lovely wife welcomed their son. Bill knows balance.
