A Nice Birthday Evening and Restaurant Review: Ivar’s Mukilteo Landing

Despite having to go to work 😛 I did have a very nice birthday yesterday. After work I got home and was enthusiastically greeted by Emma. I freshened up a bit, then Shaun and I headed out to Ivar’s Mukilteo Landing for a nice dinner on the sound.

Parking is always interesting at best there thanks to the ferry, so we had an early dinner, seated by about 4 pm so we could easily park in the little Ivar’s lot. Since we came at a relative lull, we were seated by the windows and had a lovely view of the sound. Shaun had the halibut fish and chips, and I had one of their “Beat the Tide” specials – a starter, entrée, and dessert for $15.95 served between 3 and 5 pm. I chose the Caesar Salad, Mukilteo Seafood Sauté, and Chocolate Decadence. Both dinners also came with warm sourdough rolls. It was an excellent dinner at a very reasonable price in a great location, and I highly recommend visiting Ivar’s Mukilteo Landing if you’re in the area – just be aware that parking will be easier at lunch or for an early dinner.

After coming home, Shaun gave me some Alton Brown Good Eats DVDs, and we spent the rest of the evening happy on the couch watching a several episodes.

All in all a nice day 🙂
