That looks like a GREAT restaurant/s and I'd love to go there, but I live on the other side of this great nation. That selection from the raw bar looks YUMMMY!
Many thanks for the info and the pictures. :-)
Sounds like you have a great sense of humor ... and taste! I was hoping that what I typed about Ivar's would give you something to think / smile about when you're being ribbed. ;-) Just keep that dancin' clam in mind.
And if you ever get to the greater Puget Sound area, you'll know of some fine dockside eateries to visit.
