bobbie is amazing. she was such an attentive waitress. she explained each food and why it was good. i was having trouble picking between 2 dishes and she told me that shrimp pasta was good. she was correct as it was great. the place they seated us was near the sea which was nice. they do charge a 4 percent service charge on top of the premium price. the "bucket of clams" is only a half bucket of clams which is disappointing because it costed a premium amount. also the sourdough does not match well with the bucket of clam broth. service was amazing, premium price was expected but the 4% service fee was quite greedy. read more

Had a pleasant experience here! Made a last minute reservation for a party for 9 on a Friday afternoon and they happily accepted. Was seated right away. There's inside seating and patio seating with an ocean view. Read some reviews and was a little nervous about this spot being a tourist trap but it was totally worth it in my opinion and a perfect spot for tourists lol I thought the prices were decent and the food was delicious! We had a dozen oysters, the catch of the day, fettuccine, the captains plate of fish and chips and super happy with all of it. Unfortunately I forgot our servers name but she was super nice, attentive, and knowledgeable. Overall just a great experience for a Seattle Seafood restaurant - the perfect balance of nice and casual too! read more

Classic tourist trap energy. It's an okay spot, but don't expect perfection. Our server seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else, and the service bounced between poor and just okay. Food was a gamble: the cioppino actually hit the mark, but the fish and chips were mediocre, and the oysters came with a side of literal grit. Word of advice: even if the weather is beautiful, skip the outdoor seating unless you like being packed in like sardines. Sit inside instead. read more

Your typical restaurant by the pier tailored for the tourist. First time eating here as we were playing as a tour guide for our friends and they wanted clam chowder; but the pike place market already closed. Its an alright restaurant. Service was ok; server check on us one time the whole time we were there. The clam chowder and fish taco was ok; nothing crazy a out them. The cod and chip were so so; both cod from both order were dry. Its a big restaurant so you will get seated right away and dont have to wait. read more

Touristy spot that could use a refresh. We've been here a handful times over the years and it keeps looking more and more rundown each year. Stick with the staples like fish and chips and chowder here. We strayed and tried their crab cake and it was a big mistake, very cake like with little crab, ours was also burned on one side and not cooked on the other. Manager did the right thing and removed from our bill (we sent them back after a couple bites). Burger was actually pretty decent. My little guy has the popcorn shrimp kids meal which was ok. I did hear the table behind us raving about their kids Mac and cheese, so probably a safe bet for the kiddos. I got the halibut fish and chips and it was good, panko breaded. Wife got a shrimp scampi angel hair pasta special that actually felt light and refreshing. Overall a decent lunch. Service was good. read more

You know what? I'm not sure why this place isn't rated a bit higher? Yes it's clearly in a tourist trap area but the food and service here was good. We were a party of 5 and the food was all really good. First good fish tacos in the area ! My fish and chips were hot and crispy. The views were amazing. My kid wasn't sure about the clam chowder so we asked the waitress if we could get a little sample. She was very nice and brought a sample out and was so nice about it. The person who ordered the Salmon BLT liked their meal too. read more

This was a great grab and go option for our group! We enjoyed the fish and chips plate to-go as we ate outdoors around the pier. Decent portions for the price and the fish was fried to order. The small team working were the highlight- they were so friendly! read more

I had Italian Primavera with Halibut and Shrimp. Although the pasta was homemade, it really had no flavor. The halibut and shrimp were so overcooked they were like rubber. The so-called freshly baked sourdough bread had been microwaved and was like rubber. Very disappointed in the food. Was not told before the reservation was made, they do not serve food outside, only drinks, so beware. Got to view the water from inside, through windows. As far as the restaurant, it was clean and the service was good, but I was disappointed in the food. read more

Seabass Picatta - 4 stars Charbroiled Alaskan Halibut - 4 stars Fishermans Old Fashioned - 4 stars Seattle Sunset - 5 stars We had a great experience from the start with no wait and excellent service. Our waiter, Shawn, really made the evening better--witty, engaging, and full of clever jokes and puns that landed just right without being distracting. The Seabass Piccata was well executed. The fish was cooked properly and the bright, citrusy sauce paired nicely without overpowering it. The Charbroiled Alaskan Halibut was flavorful, nicely charred, and cooked just right. The waterfront view was beautiful and added a lot to the experience. Being able to see the city lights and the glow of the port in the distance reflecting off the water created a relaxed and memorable atmosphere. read more

My family and I were visiting Seattle before a cruise and were hungry when visiting Seattle's waterfront. Naturally, you would think to yourself this must be the place to eat seafood (hence the name and location next to the water). I normally don't write bad reviews but my first impressions wasn't a good one. First the dishes weren't cleaned properly. I saw food particles still on glasses and cutlery. Second, we asked for an outside table. But they put my dad (who is in a wheelchair) directly in the sun. When we asked to switch, it wasn't still in a good spot. Our server wasn't also very helpful. We needed refills on this hot day and we saw only two tables in his section. But we saw other parties (particularly of a certain privileged race) getting served properly and quickly than our table. To top it off, the food wasn't what you would expect next to a waterfront with such a high price tag. So to sum it up; If you're a tourist. This is a tourist trap. You're better off finding quality food at pikes Market. To the managers please check your staff. I didn't want to complain since i was already tired and the heat would've not made my suggestions received properly. read more

Totally understand why this is a 3 star restaurant!! It's way overpriced for frozen fish and shrimp. 27 dollars for "Alaskan Halibut" and chips. 200 dollar check shouldn't be frozen seafood. Ouch!! If you're by the water shouldn't fresh seafood be expected? To me this place is nothing more than overpriced Long John Silvers that serves waaaayyy overpriced wine. Two glasses 30 bucks! Yikes! The only reason I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because our server was very nice and pleasant. The vibe here was okay nothing that jumps out at you for that wow factor. So, if you're in the mood for fast food type cuisine and want to overpay, then this would be the place for you! Other than that, I wouldn't really recommend you stop in here. Not a fan! We won't be back! read more

3.1 average rating....you must be kidding me! This is my second time eating here and this place never disappoints!! The food is amazing!! The service was outstanding!! Thank you Kevin!

Food was okay. 4% Service charge was a surprise. Not on the menu. Not mentioned in advance. No printed check or bill. When we asked for the bill, server comes over and verbally tells us what he's charging us for and we gave him a credit card and then he tells us the total. He fails to mention that they're also charging a 4% service charge for seafood up charge at a seafood restaurant. Manager can't explain why they're charging it. Says they've been doing it since he started. No idea why. Yikes. Seems like a deceptive money grab from tourists. Not the employees' fault but creepy. They agreed to remove the charge after we mentioned you need to put any additional fees on the menu or post them somewhere. Ick. read more

Staff: The staff were friendly and hospitable. Our server was Chelsea who was nice and took good care of us. Overall, they had good service. Quality/Quantity: I grew up eating at the location in San Clemente, CA so was very excited to find it here. The food has always been good in my experience in CA. The same was the case today. We got the halibut and chips and Claim chowder. The fish and chips were delicious, fresh, flaky, and flavorful. The claim chowder was tasty with a nice sourdough bowl. Value: This is subjective but can say that 4 people ate lunch for $75 without tip. Overall: The food is good, service good, and view amazing!!! We sat outside with a view of the water and the Giant wheel. read more

This place might have a bad reputation as a tourist trap considering it's location at the end of the pier right under the ferris wheel. However, the food and service were excellent. The chowder was one of the best I've had in a long time. And of course the views are amazing. read more

I headed over to Fisherman's for a date night dinner. We shared a bowl of clam chowder, and the seafood boil. The food was absolutely incredible! Their clam chowder has to be one of the best in the city! It's so creamy and makes the best dip for the bread! As for the crab boil, the crab tasted incredibly fresh, and the potatoes and corn were great! read more

My son and I just stopped for cocktails on a beautiful Sunday afternoon on the pier. We were served cocktails at the upstairs bar and seated on the outdoor deck below the great wheel, which offers views of the bay. Seattle pier prices. The bartender was friendly, and the drinks were refreshing. It was quiet because I was there between lunch and dinner, and our seating area was secluded. read more

Our first meal in Seattle set the bar high. I was genuinely surprised to see this restaurant rated at just 3.1 stars on Yelp as our experience felt far closer to five. We were seated outdoors with a stunning view of the Great Wheel and the water--an ideal backdrop for a relaxing meal. Service was quick, and our server (wish I remembered her name) was super sweet and on top of things. Food-wise, everything was great. The clam chowder in the bread bowl ($19) was so good--definitely a must-try. We also had the PNW Captain's Plate (fish and chips) for $29, Fisherman's Crab Melt ($26), half dozen oysters ($20), and the Halibut & Shrimp Primavera ($28). Each dish was served piping hot, with fresh ingredients and generous portions - ample enough that we left with leftovers. The prices are a bit steep but with the view, good food, and friendly service, it felt worth it to us. read more

Shrimp pasta-pasta was overcooked. Sauce delicious. Steamed clams-overcooked and not throughly cleaned. Still had crunchy sand in it. It was also bland and flavorless. I sat on the second floor patio. Beautiful ocean view and view of the wheel. Nice ambiance with soft music. It took 20 minutes after being seated for someone to greet me and take my order. Is it bc I was dining solo? Or maybe my skin color? Or maybe my unique hair color? The older white couple next to me was greeted right away and the server was attentive to them. I should've just gone to a hotdog stand lol read more

Beware: they do not take allergies seriously. We made our server aware upfront that we had an onion allergy in the party. I can excuse one accidental plate made with onion, especially because green onion is a common garnish. This happened 3 separate times - no manager was brought over and nothing was comped. We're lucky to avoid anaphylactic shock here. Would not recommend. read more

I was not impressed. I got some type of drink something punch and it was pre-made a couple of days before. I returned it and got something else but I was very turned off. The drinks were not goodt!

We had some time to burn before our harbor cruise, so figured we'd grab a bite nearby. We were seated quickly and decided on the coconut shrimp, crispy fish tacos, and the halibut tacos. I've ordered coconut shrimp at many establishments and the breading is typically pretty thick, sometimes too thick, but here it's nice and thin so you get the shrimp flavor along with the cocoon it instead of coconut with a hint of shrimp. One of the better ones that I've had. I preferred the crispy fish over the halibut, but mainly because I felt they put too much avocado into the halibut tacos. Regardless both were tasty. I'm not sure why they're rated so low. My experience was definitely 5 star worthy! read more

We got here right before a huge rush and they have so much outside seating with lovely views of the water right by the Great Wheel. Our server was friendly and our water glasses were never empty. I didn't get a picture of the food but the halibut and chips were breaded and not greasy! So delicious! The salmon BLT however, the bread was so greasy it became soggy in the middle and the crust was tough to bite through. The cocktails were refreshing on a warm summer afternoon. We'd definitely come back for lunch during a trip up to the Seattle Waterfront. read more

Wow, very impressive. We had a party of 6 and had no wait time. It became busy after we arrived. The server was great and engaging. We ordered appetizers and each of us had a different entree. The flavor and seasoning on the food was perfect. Very flavorful and delicious. We all enjoyed the food. The dessert needs a little extra attention. (Mud pie/strawberry shortcake) Not what we expected at all. It was a great afternoon. Ambiance was great. Definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Such a great magical place for an afternoon in the sunny sunshine of Seattle. If you have a gorgeous day on the gorgeous waterfront ask for a table on the patio and you will be dining right underneath the ferris wheel and on the waterfront. It is so sweet. I loved the fish tacos. SO DELISH, 3 out of 4 people in my party got them. Kenny was our server and he was fantastic - a pro with legacy I hear. He's been there for awhile and has the whole entire thing down pat. He's good at timing and customer service. The hostesses were over the top kind. My 87 year old dad, who struggles walking was so welcomed and well taken care of. These people really care about the 'taking care of people and making memories' business they are in. I loved their wine selections, there location, food and kindness. THANK YOU for making our day so special. It means the world to us and we will keep these memories in our hearts forever. read more

I was celebrating my wife's birthday at The Fisherman's Restaurant, and we were shocked by the decline in both service and food quality. I'm comparing this to my experience 10 years ago, when the restaurant had the feel of a genuine seafood place with a great view. Now, it has been reduced to what feels like a cheap fast-food spot. Don't be fooled by the fancy name. They serve low-quality frozen fries, and the fish itself was poorly prepared by an unskilled chef, completely ruining the taste. The staff was also rude and unprofessional. To make matters worse, we were charged an extra $20 beyond what was shown on the check. Do not go there, you will waste your money. I am deeply saddened that Seattle is changing from a vibrant, exciting city into one that feels economically declining, with prices that no longer match the quality of service. read more

The food was great and especially because I'm particular about my salmon! I was worried about the three star review and the lack of service, but we had zero issues whatsoever. The staff was friendly and the service was great and even heckled a bit when they found out we were from Arizona. Tonight was our anniversary and we traveled in from Arizona for the game this weekend. Found Fisherman's Restaurant for our anniversary dinner and the food was delish. I had the salmon while my husband had the halibut and our son enjoyed the New York steak. We would definitely visit again if in the Seattle area. read more

Took a few minutes to figure out where the front door was lol, the walk has all these little cute stores, got a bit side tracked. Seated right away, beautiful view and our server Jared(hopefully spelled correctly) was a delight. Help with finding a meal I can eat. I always view the menu to restaurants first since I have an incredible amount of food allergies, so once I knew what to order but unfortunately some of their items are premixed. I didn't have an opportunity to take pictures of everything but my lunch date had the crab feast and I ordered the garden salad and the BLT with grilled halibut with grilled vegetables on the side. These vegetables were a show stopping! Grilled perfectly and the sandwich was very well put together. The crab feast was a plateful thankfully, but I couldn't figure out if all 3 types of crab was plated or just 2 types. We enjoyed our meal and were happy not to be rushed out due to time limits restrictions were finding at some restaurants. If you're ever at the pier and looking for a good quick spot for a meal, give this place a try. Hopefully you will enjoy! Con: Could not make clams without the wine. Crab BLT is premixed Me tomó unos minutos averiguar dónde estaba la puerta principal, jaja, el paseo tiene todas estas pequeñas tiendas lindas, se puso un poco de lado. Me senté de inmediato, hermosa vista y nuestro camarero Jared (con suerte escrito correctamente) fue una delicia. Ayuda a encontrar una comida que pueda comer. Siempre miro el menú de los restaurantes primero, ya que tengo una cantidad increíble de alergias alimentarias, así que una vez que supe qué pedir, pero desafortunadamente algunos de sus artículos están premezclados. No tuve la oportunidad de tomar fotos de todo, pero mi cita para almorzar tenía el festín de cangrejos y pedí la ensalada de jardín y el BLT con fletán a la parrilla con verduras a la parrilla al lado. ¡Estas verduras fueron una parada de espectáculo! Asado perfectamente y el sándwich estaba muy bien preparado. El festín del cangrejo fue un plato lleno, afortunadamente, pero no pude averiguar si los 3 tipos de cangrejo estaban platos o solo 2 tipos. Disfrutamos de nuestra comida y nos alegramos de no haber salido a toda prisa debido a las restricciones de tiempo que se estaban encontrando en algunos restaurantes. Si alguna vez estás en el muelle y buscas un buen lugar rápido para comer, prueba este lugar. ¡Espero que lo disfrutes! Contra: No pude hacer almejas sin el vino. Crab BLT está premezclado 花了几分钟才弄清楚前门在哪里，哈哈，人行道上有所有这些可爱的小商店，有点偏了。 立刻就座，美丽的景色，我们的服务员Jared（希望拼写正确）令人高兴。 帮我找一顿我能吃的饭菜。我总是先看餐厅的菜单，因为我对食物过敏的数量非常多，所以一旦我知道该点什么，但不幸的是，他们的一些项目是预先混合的。 我没有机会拍下所有东西的照片，但我的午餐约会有螃蟹盛宴，我点了花园沙拉和BLT配烤比目鱼和烤蔬菜。 这些蔬菜真是一场演出！烤得很完美，三明治做得非常好。 谢天谢地，螃蟹盛宴是满盘的，但我搞不清楚是所有3种螃蟹都是盘子还是只有2种。 我们很享受我们的饭菜，很高兴没有因为一些餐厅的时间限制而被赶出去。 如果你曾经在码头寻找一个快速吃饭的好地方，那就试试这个地方吧。希望你会喜欢！ 缺点：没有酒就不能做蛤蜊。 螃蟹BLT是预混合的 read more

Amazing seafood and freindly service, had a little bit of a wait but with a great view who could complain, oysters were amazing as well

Cayman (not sure if spelled correctly) was great!! Very attentive! They were very aware the sun was going down and would start getting chilly. They were pulling down the umbrellas and lighting the heaters. The sourdough bread is awesome. The views are amazing. The captain's feast was so good. Had cod tenders, calamari and shrimp. Multiple sauces and the marmalade was so good!! Slaw not the best. Shrimp Alfredo was decent. The Alfredo was great but the shrimps was not grilled like advertised and was a bit fishy. read more

Was here as part of a large dinner group, so we only had a few limited choices to order from ahead of time. This being Seattle, fish and chips seemed like a no-brainer. Sadly, it was disappointing. The serving consisted of three smallish fish sticks (not battered fillets like I'm seeing in some of the photos here), some so-so fries and a serving of cole slaw. It actually might have been a kid's meal, now that I think about it. A real let down and not at all the quality or flavor I was expecting. Several others in the group said the same thing. The best part of the meal for me was the sourdough bread we got to start. A bright spot -- our server was fantastic and did a terrific job keeping us all well taken care of. And the waterfront setting is lovely. read more

For our 22nd anniversary we wanted to do something special, so we decided to have dinner on the Great Wheel. The total for 2 people was over $300. For this price, one would expect excellent service and food. We were extremely disappointed. Upon arrival we were taken up to a small room in the restaurant where we were told to wait for our waiter who would take our drink orders. We waited for 45 minutes before anyone came to take an order. We were finally led out to the Great Wheel at about 7:30. (Our reservation was for 6:30). We had one small loaf of bread, Cesar salad and 3 shrimp in a glass. After a few rotations we were given the dessert and the entree - salmon broccoli and rice. The food was cold, but probably would have been good if it was warm. The views were great, but for the price, it was not worth it. We asked if the tip was included in the price and our waiter didn't know, so we tipped him- found out is was already included in the price. If you are looking for something special t it doing Seattle, this is probably not the best way to spend your hard-earned money... read more

Food was plain tasted like prepackaged food instead of fresh catch. Service was very good which was the only positive.

Entrees were really amazing. I finished my plate and left me wanting some more. (Pasta). The fish and chips, came with really fresh tasting tar tar sauce. The downside was the dessert, it was still really cold when it was serviced and felt like it was kind hard. Besides that the service was great and the view was really nice. read more

We selected this restaurant specifically because we wanted something next to the Great Wheel and we wanted seafood. I ordered a dozen raw oysters, clam chowder, and steamed snow crab with a side of asparagus and broccolini. The seafood was fresh and good. Service was just ok. Our waiter forgot one of the dishes so we shared our food until the last dish was ready about 30 minutes later. We had fun eating with our hands and the crab was really sweet. The view from our table was the ocean and the Great Wheel. After dinner, we bought tickets to ride the wheel (my first time). We had a very memorable evening! read more
