This is not the only bad experience at Ivars recently. I took guests there in January 5 people. I’m not sure about their food. No one likes to complain. But 2 of us had terrible food. Salmon was not fresh. Not prepared well. At all then just a few days ago we had an experience described below this photo. Long time customer of Ivars and service was terrible. Please read. Thnx.

Sadly Ivars has , like others, gone downhill and cut corners even though prices have escalated and tips are larger as is pay for workers. But waiters all over this country don’t know or have a clue about what real service is. The servers don’t bring condiments that everyone needs with certain foods. By the time they come back by you’ve eaten half the food without condiments. Then you get the ketchup but it won’t come out of the bottle. Your margarita order precisely with rises lime and triple sec has a large slice of orange and two limes in it. Once extracted your drink is at half the glass and it’s also full of ice. You get about 1/4th a glass of a drink. You notice you need malt vinegar. But your food is now almost gone. Oh well. That is what you pay for these days! I had a gift certificate When it’s used, I won’t go back. It’s a few blocks from home.
*I did send this to the manager, he offered a gift card, It is 50.00. I have not yet used it.
I was there the night of the storm some friends went to storm watch.
Ended up the floor came up to the sea in part of the dining room.
No one was being a customer really, waves were hitting over the roof. Distraction. Everyone was trying to be a customer or a waiter. But it wasn’t quite manifesting. Suddenly they tried rushing us out the side door. They were panicked. My friend kicked a pail of water in the way over, and it tipped over spilling water everywhere, I asked a tall man to fix the door to stay open, he was too flustered and ran out the door. It was crazy.
The storm. It took the restaurant out and took years to rebuild. Now All these years later prices 3 times as high, not as good,,servers who can’t serve. It’s a mess. They should send waiters to Mexico to learn to be professional.
