Ivy City Smokehouse

Lucky are the eaters who make their way to this unique seafood smokehouse. Inside the warehouse-like space, a daily market and state-of-the-art smoker reside at street level. Above this, find a tavern-like restaurant with a large, open-air rooftop. The fish is fresh, the staff is especially friendly, and the vibe is irresistible with occasional live music. Opt for the smokehouse appetizer which comes with your choice of smoked fish (perhaps Pacific Northwest-style honey hot smoked salmon, North Carolina rainbow trout, or Great Lake whitefish salad) paired with a bagel and served with chive cream cheese, tomato, red onion, cucumbers, capers and horseradish sauce.
