    I'd rather eat the food from the seafood bar, which is great value and quality though an entirely different experience than the table service you get inside. There is nothing terrible about the inside experience but it lands right in the middle, and sometimes misses the mark.

    Ivars was very busy, our dining experience took about 2 hours (glad we weren’t in a hurry). Glad they are busy with business, but it took about 50 minutes to order.

    The wine dinner is such a great value. 4 glasses of wine almost makes the food free. Each course was delicious.
