Have been wanting to give this venue another try. The previous visit was less than noteworthy. There wasn't notable improvement this time. Service was improved, but that is the extent of it. I started with a Bombay Sapphire martini. No one even so much as suggested "dirty", but the overwhelming presence of pure olive brine was enough for me to send it back. Apologies because "that's the way I always make it" were accepted. Ask next time. The salad was exceptional, the salmon chowder, not so much. A bowl of fish flesh covered with a weak broth does not a chowder make. The NW seafood pasta was asking and a miss. White sauce was tasteless, shrimp were pretty good, scallops an halibut were undercooked. Again, ask your diner. Not everyone feels what the chef thinks is done, is done. Green salad was great, especially the white balsamic poppyseed dressing. Broccoli was nice, better than average as were the garlic mashers. I have to give the prime rib a fail. It passed neither the appearance nor taste category. Fat content was about average but flavor was non-existent. The jus was no help. Overall, bang for buck, not a win for either of us. Really fortunate I didn't order a $70 rib steak.

Pepper steak w/whiskey pepper sauce was very good. With Baked Brie and stramed Clams. We had very good service and left with 3 deserts for home.

We live on the lake close to the casino so we eat there a lot. This was our forth time at the Chinook.
I hate bad reviews but this place needs some help. Staff are alway great and the rest is always clean and inviting but the food is never good. We ate there last night and the Chicken Marsala had no flavor at all. We have an Idea, why not shorten the menu to fewer items and perfect them. Have a sample night and get honest opinions from your guests. We don’t want to loose the Chinook but imagine a place that’s so good people make it a destination restaurant. Everything is good except the food.
