I reserved this place for anniversary and it was honestly okay. The views are amazing here but I think the service and food fell a little flat for us. Service was a little slow. For special occasions it seems like it depends on who your server is because some servers give you free dessert while others aren't even aware it's a special occasion if you reserved a table online. The clam chowder was really thick and my partner and I weren't a huge fan of the texture but taste wise it was still good! The 5 cheese ravioli was a little bland, maybe the water wasnt salted before adding the ravioli but unfortunately it was a miss for us. The New York steak was also average but the shrimps and mashed potatoes were really good and loved the consistency. I've been to this restaurant before during happy hour and I think the food is better during that time. read more

Go for the views - stay for the food! Every bite was delicious and well presented. They were having a buy one get one special on select entrees; two of us had chosen the pesto crusted rock fish with ricotta gnocchi (melt in your mouth delish!) perfectly complimented with pickled fennel salad. The other had the cioppino and reported deep satisfaction. Our waiter wasn't as engaging as I would have expected for this caliber of restaurant so I probably should hold back a star; then again maybe they were just having an off night. I wished I lived in the area to go again to compare. read more

Always a great view, always great service, always a great meal. Take your friends from out of town and expose them to what this part of Skagit/Whatcom is really like. I hear the brunch is pretty special too! Thanks for the amazing service Mel! read more

Not sure what happened over the last couple of years, but there's actually very little seafood on the menu. They used to have excellent scallops- not any more. No salmon or fresh halibut. Just non-local shrimp and a rockfish dish. Pretty disappointing. We'd come here more if there were more seafood options. Always leave thinking that it could be so much better. Excellent service and cocktails. read more

I made a reservation for two people for Friday the 10th at 6:00 PM, specifically noting that it was my wife's birthday; however, the restaurant offered absolutely no surprise gesture whatsoever. I felt a bit disappointed. As for the food overall: the appetizers were good, as were the salad and soup. However, the main course didn't really "wow" me read more

Nice spot! Beautiful view inside, though we sat out on the lawn at the picnic bench with our dog. Nice treat after driving down Chuckanut Drive. The halibut was fresh, very good, but wish it had been crispier. So, it's not my favorite I've ever had but certainly no slouch. The ciopinno was pretty good too, though I do wish there was some squid in there. Overall a nice experience you're going to pay for. We had a nice time. read more

Wow! What a happy hour! Spectacular view from the deck overlooking the bay. Cocktails were pretty much on point (had to ask them to switch the bourbon in my old fashioned and manhattan...I'm sorry, but Rebel 100 is complete garbage) and the nibbles were tasty and affordable. Standouts: the crab cake sliders (ask for cocktail sauce on the side to punch up the flavor) and the prawn cocktail (excellent quality; so many people miss how satisfying can be when it's done well). The fish tacos were a bit bland, but well presented - almost cost them a star - but they were well cooked and presented, just not to my taste. The oyster shooters were accompanied by too many salty elements (green olives, salty pickles) and needed a bright acid to perk them up. Super fresh though, a cut above most that you'll find locally. Only Oyster Shuckers down the road in Allen does a better bivalve. And that leads me to the service. Sooo pro! Really impressive. Our server, Laurissa, was bloody brilliant; though stretched a bit thin and with demanding customers (not us, of course ) she still took time to make sure we were well taken care of, and even offered us an amazing off-menu bananas foster sundae dessert. Oh. My. Goodness. Just...I mean...ok: toffee crusted fresh caramelized banana topped with rich vanilla and chocolate ice cream, anointed with fudgy sauce and mounded with fluffy whipped cream ARE YOU KIDDING ME..?! GET IN MY BELLY IMMEDIATELY! (Ahem) ah, um, yeah, so: we liked it... Best local happy hour, no contest. Will be back to try tempting offerings on the dinner menu, and see if the same quality is in evidence. A good bit of the value was in Laurissa's service, admittedly, but: high hopes.

Saturday lunch opening. Arrived at noon, no wait...nice. Mom, dad and wife enjoyed their selections: Reuben sandwich, street corn/prawn salad, and halibut tacos, grilled, not fried. Service by the bartender was impeccable. Ambiance was quite pleasant and food was good enough, no leftovers. Nice job Chuck Man! read more

Road up a ways is still closed from the rockslide but CM is still open. Yes!! Liked the remodeled exterior and interior it was much needed to give that upscale fine dining vibe. The old sign was pure ugliness despite what one may say about preserving history. Glad that was gone. We came earlier on a weekday and got to catch the HH deal. You don't need to be at the bar to enjoy this. 2-5 weekday and all day Monday. The main menu had awesome offerings but due to my food limitations, I was so glad to find some decent offerings besides salad! Highly recommend the grilled fish tacos with pico and slaw. I got 4 and it made for a filling dinner platter they piled on so much fresh crunchy pico/slaw it was super scrumptious! The fish was grilled to perfection but you can get the fried version too. The HH Bloody Mary shooter for $6 comes with 2 shooters and all the Bloody Mary fixings. The oysters were tiny if there's more oyster it would take it to the next level. The $10 crab cake slider was delish. If you don't want to get the $28 appetizer from the main menu the one slider would do the trick in satisfying your craving. Hubby absolutely enjoyed his oyster Rockefeller! I ended up trying one and was wowed! It was way better than any Rockefeller we have had. You get 4. Umami through and through. Get this! His clam fettuccine was to die for. The chopped clams were infused throughout IN ADDITION to the copious amount on the bottom. Super garlic forward and huge portions! Very yummy! If you love linguine alle vongole, get this! The mocktail lavender lemonade was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Hubby enjoyed his mocktail margarita but he liked mine even more. Definitely not going to wait so long to hit up this wonderful gem. Worth the long drive for good food, awesome view and ambience. Great place for romantic celebration for sure! read more

Love the views and always great service!! Kibble is good, drinks are even better! Great happy hour menu and vibes are high.

What a wonderful experience! This was our second time here for an evening dinner and once again, we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. First, the ambiance. Talk about "First Class Presentation" as everything from the decorum to the views makes this place one of a kind. Tucked away, you get a breathtaking view (get a window seat during sunset, you won't regret it). The food was delicious. Everything we tried (apps, main and dessert) was delicious. They cocktail menu had a lot to offer and the drinks were well crafted. Our Server was great at pacing the meal and had pretty good recommendations based on preferences on taste. I absolutely will return and recommend that you give it a try. 5/5. read more

On my way up to Bellingham on the scenic route, I happened to stop at the chuckanut manor which has the most beautiful view of the bay. The interior is neat, clean, and minimal. I love the little touches of local art and paintings. I ordered a half portion of the watermelon salad and a cup of clam chowder. The watermelon salad was super refreshing, the sweetness of the watermelon works really well with the dressing and fragrant flavors of the arugula and basil. Clam chowder was nice and thick; creamy and loaded with different things. Service was super sweet. I felt very well taken care of. Was a wonderful surprise, I loved it here. read more

This was our second choice as we wanted to go to Taylor's oyster farm but it was too crowded. The place is mostly for the view to be honest. The food is mediocre. It's on the nicer side so don't expect to be dress in sweats or pj's here :) We got the hangtown fry which came with 4 pieces of fried oysters on top of cheese omelette with hollandaise sauce and bacon. Breakfast potatoes on the side. Each component was good, but it didn't go well together...I rather just eat each on it's own We also got a bowl of clam chowder. It was pretty standard. My husband wish it was thicker but I thought it was fine Service was good. They check on you from time to time Overall, it was just ok, nothing really amazing except for the nice view. read more

I can't wait to return to this coast for another meal at Chuckanut Manor. The Caesar Salad was perfect. The Bloody Mary was perfect. And I'm a fish 'n chips guy. Seriously. I make 'em. I seek 'em out. Their Alaskan Halibut version is just unbeatable. But there was so much more I wanted to try. Every plate I saw spoke to me! And our server, Nicole, was wonderful, and my StepMom is very particular. Friendly, knowledgeable and when I messed up the order she took responsibility. When I figured that out I was doubly impressed. Such a pro! Hard to find that kind of talent these days and I've consulted with more restaurants than I can count. I regret not leaving an add-on tip, even though it was not my tab. read more

Wow want to just wait here and eat my next meal our server was excellent !! Everything was excellent . I had a pure Prosecco martini some type of margaritas Long Island ice tea. I heard they were good. The margarita had a jalapeño and salt and pepper started off with brussels sprouts we had clam chowder one of the best clam chowder I've ever had kind to order a bucket of it to go, my sister-in-law had crabcakes with garlic aïoli. My brother had grilled halibut was excellent. My boyfriend had fettuccine with baby clams really good garlic bread, especially cleaning up the sauce with it and then there was dessert having a smoke so I have to go try the dessert come back here and our server Melissa, unbelievable she was one of the best servers very well informed told me the history of the restaurant gave me a shortcut to go have a cigarette very knowledgeable about the food. I would come back again and sits along the river or the river the ocean. if you're in the area, stop by if you're not definitely make it a destination. read more

Our three stars are for the location and view, the service - our server, Melissa, was phenomenal, and the creme brûlée. We were greeted three times when we first arrived by very attentive, friendly staff. We were seated at a lovely window seat and were able to see the water and a couple of trains that came by. Loved that so much. We ordered a small Caesar salad to share to start and are sad to report it wasn't great. It was romaine with some dressing but no real flavor...no anchovies, no croutons, no Parmesan...but I was in the mood for some type of salad so I ate the good looking romaine. We also shared a ($28) crab cake appetizer which was bland (and completely not worth the price - there was one discernible lump piece of crab). There was an aioli which came off as flavorless mayo. Again, neither of those had flavor. I did really like the slaw that came with it. Flavor galore in that. For our main, we shared the linguini and prawns. The overriding flavor is black pepper. It had black pepper, peas, black pepper, asparagus (including some of the inedible woody ends), black pepper and thinly shaved zucchini with black pepper and large prawns (Randy thinks they were boiled and would have been better sautéed) and linguini. The sauce was meh. Pretty thin and peppery - other than that, we couldn't tell what was in it unless we read the menu. Definitely would have benefited if it had some garlic and maybe basil. And if some pepper was subtracted from the dish. Randy added black pepper to his, unaware of the already peppery flavor, so this review of the linguini is mine although he didn't enjoy his either. We decided to get the chocolate creme brûlée - Ohmygosh the flavor. So chocolaty - Randy said it was very cocoa forward - and we both loved it. Randy ordered the cinnamon roll bread pudding and said it was only ok (he's a bread pudding connoisseur lol). We won't go back but if you decide to go, ask for Melissa. She's really on top of everything she was responsible for tonight - making drinks for all tables (it seemed she was the only one making the drinks) as well as serving several tables. She split our salad and the main for us when we mentioned we were sharing it and she kept me in lemons for my water all night. We had three different water refills throughout our meal and she kept in touch with us throughout our visit. She really is a gem. read more

Ahhh! Chuckanut Manor did not disappoint! It's been a few years since we have been here, and we LOVED their fish and chips! I was afraid that I had built it up in my mind, and it wasn't going to be as good...but, it was awesome!!! It was a cool, overcast day, with threatening rain, but we ate outside as we had our dog with us. Our waitress was outstanding and never once complained about catering to our needs. You just can't get fish and chips anywhere else that is as good as what we had here! Add that to the view, and you are in for an incredible experience! read more

***Update 10/17/23*** I hadn't been back here since before the pandemic, but this is one of my kid's favorite restaurants, so we decided to venture here for dinner. I was worried that the place wouldn't be as wonderful as we remembered it being. (There's nothing worse than re-visiting a favorite place after a few years, only for it to have lost its charm, or have changed for the worse. That happens so often). Luckily, it turned out my fears were totally unfounded. Chuckanut Manor not only is as fabulous as I remembered - it was even BETTER. How, you might ask? Well, the food is as amazing as I remembered, but now the restaurant interior is, too. It has been totally remodeled and revamped. (Before, it was quite dated, with a 60-s-70's-esque decor. I remember a green carpet, old-fashioned tables, and a VERY tiny and old bathroom). NOW the interior is open, with more modern seating (tables, and integrated booths along the wall. Clean grey carpeting, unobstructed window views over the water and Samish Bay, lots of light, and a private dining room for a large party, with a gorgeous mural on the far wall, depicting local landscapes. Oh, and the entryway is more open, too, with a coat closet, even. And the women' bathroom now is fantastic! Large, clean, with modern fixtures). Such a huge difference in the actual space. And the view! Spectacular as I remember. Like a postcard. SO special. Food-wise, it was excellent. We were there on Monday, as the restaurant has "all day happy hour on Mondays". We ordered a bunch of plates: Bloody Mary shooters with an oyster in each and a skewer of vegetables on top, grilled fish taco and a prawn cocktail. All were good, but the grilled fish taco was AMAZING. Best happy hour dish there, for sure. My kid ordered a few plates that were not on the happy hour menu: a cup of clam chowder (as wonderful as she remembered it), and 6 oysters on the half-shell. These were so fresh and delicious (I had a few!). They brought us fresh, warm bread with whipped butter (SO good), and we shared an "Autumn Margarita" that was made from tequila, spiced pear liquor and other magical elixirs. SO good. Our server was super nice and attentive, and we watched the sunset over the water. It truly was a fabulous night, and my kid and I have already decided what we'll be ordering the next time we visit - which will be SOON! read more

My husband and I went for my birthday dinner. The view was absolutely beautiful. We went during sunset which was FANTASTIC. Our food was ok. We ordered three apps. We couldn't decide on what exactly we wanted (mussels, brussel sprouts, oysters)....all were delicious. Our entree's (filet mignon, potatoes and 3 pieces of broccoli) were under seasoned but the cook on the steak was perfect. My husband ordered two cocktails both were underwhelming. He ordered an old fashioned and whiskey sour. Our server was nice and friendly but not really attentive unfortunately. The male bartender on shift was very attentive....he had saw that my napkin fell to the floor, notified me and grabbed me a new one, also my husband sneezed and he made a point to say "bless you". Very kind and nice guy when he didn't have to be. read more

Can we talk about the view for a moment? Stunning . Even when it's a foggy and chilly, the water is absolutely beautiful. While the space is a bit dated you can tell what the draw is. We ordered the special, a crab omelette with spinach and avocado with hollandaise. And a crab cake Benedict. Omelette was might and lovely, the crab could have been a bit fresher, but it was flavorful. The Benedict was delicious with a perfectly cooked egg. Our server was patient as I was having a moment of paralizing indecisiveness. He laughed with me as I pondered, and changed my mind a dozen times. For the record, all of my decisions were just right. read more

Had an excellent dinner with perfect service and great company at Chuckanut Manor. When I first saw the menu at the restaurant, I was surprised to find an almost equal balance of steak and seafood options. For the first time in 15 years, I considered ordering Rockfish--despite a terrible experience at a restaurant on the East Coast. I was hesitant, but our server, Drew (who was excellent!), assured me: "Please order it. If you don't like it after the first bite, I'll be happy to exchange it. And if you don't finish, I'll gladly take the leftovers." That sold me, and I'm glad it did--the Rockfish was fantastic! We also ordered raw oysters, steaks, and more seafood, and no one was disappointed. Everything was delicious. And a special shoutout to Drew; his service truly made the evening even better! read more

Had been here for dinner maybe 10 years ago with former owner. Wife and I were coming home up I5 right before sunset and we decided to come up Chuckanut. She'd never been to the Manor. Newer owner has created a lovely space! It was busy, but we found a spot right out front, walked in and were immediately sat at a window table with ten minutes to spare before sunset! We were quickly welcomed and greeted by our server Natasha. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming. We ordered drinks which came out promptly. We the ordered 6 oysters and the Brussel Sprouts and they came out fast! As "foodies", we love to try new places and dishes. Brussels are a fave of ours and these were done really well. Oysters were fresh and tasty. They happened to have a BOGO Feb special. My wife ordered the Steak with Fries and I had the ravioli. The main entree dishes came out fast, hot and best of all delicious! Thanks Natasha and CM, you helped us make a great night! We'll be back! read more

Beautiful restaurant by the sea. The dining area is spot clean. First time here with my friend. I thought this was the oyster house but more like seafood restaurant. Not on the menu, but I had some raw oysters of 3 kinds. Each of them were really creamy and fresh. Can't remember the names.. but this definitely makes the best appetizer to go with some cocktails. I also ordered the steak bites with hummus which was delicious. The steak bites were pretty dry though. Fried pita bread slices as dippers were really good, never had in my life. Great idea! My friend had the halibut dish. Huge halibut piece with mustard cream sauce along with tortellini. The fish was fresh but the sauce was ok. This would be a good dating spot during sunset time. They do have happy hour til 5pm 25% off appetizers and $1 off drinks. read more

Great dinner this past Tuesday evening with my adult niece who was visiting from Colorado. This was after visiting the last day of the tulip festival. Our meals were delicious, starting out with oysters as shown in the photograph. We had 6:30 reservations, but there was less traffic so we arrived before 6 o'clock pm and were seated promptly. Hostess was pleasant; server was quick, friendly, and informative. My niece's older sister and I visited here when she came to see the tulip festival eight years ago.
