Pike Place Chowder really is as good as advertised! It is worth the wait, which was not too bad. Getting a table can be a challenge, but, my brother and I managed. As for the Chowder...Wow! I ordered the four cup sampler and loved all four choices. I even had a spoon full pf my brothers Salmon Chowder and that was also amazing. Everything seems to be awesome on the menu! This is a must stop for any visit to Seattle!!!
