The Fisherman's Restaurant and Bar, Seattle, WA P254
 
At the Elliot bay end of Pier 59...opposite end of the pier from the Salmon Cooker...dwells the Fisherman's Restaurant, a thoroughly pedestrian "continental/NW style" restaurant. 

Yeah, the fish is OK, but nothing special, the prices are a bit high and the service can be either good or inattentive...depending on what?  I don't know for sure. 

The Caesar Salads have the white gloppy stuff that is supposed to be Caesar dressing...why bother?  It's not a Caesar salad...not even close...so why call it one?

Seafood Fetuccine isn't bad, but it's nothing to write home about either...Shrimp Skewers are OK...but not exciting.  Halibut...OK.  Sirloin?  Well...it was flavorful, but it too was pedestrian. 

Essentially, the Fisherman's is a tourist's restaurant...in nice weather, eating outside at the end of the pier can be wonderful and the food isn't bad.  So, if you aren't looking for excellent cuisine and are looking for an excellent ambiance...go there.  If, on the other hand, you're after excellent cuisine, you'd be better off with a pass. 

Food: B-. Ambiance: A+ in good weather. Attitude: Great to indifferent. Parking: Can be a serious problem depending on the time of year and how many tourists are lurking about. Service: B. Value: C.
