Line & Lure

Fresh Seafood Meets Pre-Show Energy

Line & Lure is a sleek, Pacific Northwest-inspired seafood restaurant located inside the ilani Resort in Ridgefield, WA—just a short walk from the ilani concert venue. The vibe is upscale yet approachable, with warm wood accents, a modern coastal aesthetic, and a spacious patio that’s perfect for pre-show drinks. Known for its fresh, locally sourced seafood and vibrant cocktails, it’s a go-to spot for both locals and out-of-town music fans.

Why Concert-goers love it

The open kitchen and bar setup adds to the energy, and the fresh seafood menu makes it feel like a treat without being over-the-top.

What People Say

The friendly, attentive staff and beautiful presentation of dishes make it feel special without being stuffy. Many reviews highlight the convenience for concert nights, with several guests mentioning that the staff asked about their showtime to ensure timely service.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that prices can be a bit on the higher side, especially for drinks and appetizers.

A few guests also mentioned that the lighting could be a little dim inside for their taste.
