Chinooks Bar and Grill
At the small boat harbor, you’ll find two seafood restaurants They have with similar menus, prices, combinations of residents and tourists, and nifty waterfront surf and turfpostcard-perfect views of across the of ocean, masts and, booms to thewith snowy mountains beyond. Which to pick? Well, Chinook's Waterfront has a sleeker look: a casual downstairs pub area filled with burnished steel and blond woods, and a quieter upstairs dinning room with tall windows set into roasted-tomato red walls. However, its food can be hit or miss. On a good night you might get a memorable crab pot pie with a steamy bisque and a crispy puff pastry crust or you might get a perfectly cooked piece of salmon stuffed with shrimp or crab. On an off night, well….there's always the beer, which is brewed on the premises. If your need for a microbrew outweighs your need for a guarantee that your blackened halibut won't be a disturbing midnight shade and as dry as a stack of napkins you might want to head somewhere else. If Chinook’s were on all the time, I’d give it three stars. Since it ain’t, one star will have to do it.
