Ivar's Holiday Happenings
With a view near the water that's a site to see,
Ivar's full-service restaurants prepare seasonal glee.
If holiday bliss is what you are after,

Our chefs are creating festive seafood treats,
now join with family and friends to reserve your seats.
And if you're out and about enjoying holiday cheer,
Grab some chowder at a Seafood Bar or Fish Bar at the Pier.
Happy Holidays from Ivar's!
