The first server held our cups by the rim as she set them on the table. This is not acceptable ever, but especially not during post-Covid times. Another server was taking our drink orders and I ask her what the hours of the restaurant are and what days they are open during the week since we boat down from Coeur d'Alene. She did not know. I asked her about the new ownership and she replied "it's corporate". We looked at the menu which is all new and that was when we decided we weren't even going to eat there. Everything is overpriced and the menu is very limited. I just really am not in the mood for raw tuna or an expensive burger or fish and chips. This is not the same steamboat grill that we've been boating to for the past 15 years or so. We got up and left and I don't know if we'll be coming back. If I want a corporate restaurant with an ornate menu I'll just stay at the north end of the lake and pay too much for mediocre food.

We chose to have…read moreour annual new year dinner at the Chinook again and had easily made reservations for 5pm through their website. When we arrived, we were greeted and sat immediately. It didn't look too busy at all, maybe less than quarter-full. I have to preface by saying despite the handful of mishaps that went against our server, Felix, throughout our dinner, he powered through and provided outstanding service. It was Felix's awesome service and friendliness that saved our dinner. Felix was very thorough with explaining everything and even showed us the monthly specials they were featuring. He did apologize and informed us that one of the specials, the Half Cornish Hen, was not available at the moment as someone accidentally dropped the pan of hens forcing them to start over. Luckily, none of us had our heart set out on the cornish hen. He then took our drink order and gave us time to look over the menu. Meanwhile, they brought us out warm bread and soft whipped butter and it was a nice start to our dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Stack and the Cast Iron Ancho Chili Cornbread. While waiting for our apps, Felix let us know that the kitchen burnt our cornbread and we had to wait for another batch. The shrimp on the other hand, was really great which we had before so at least that was consistent. When the cornbread finally arrived, it looked very well-done and on the brink of almost burnt, but it was actually really tasty and the top had a light crunch to it. For my entree, I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. Instead of a salad that usually comes with it, I opted for the soup de jour, which was a Seafood Bouillabaisse. My sea bass came with a seasonal vegetable, which was brussel sprouts. I didn't mind because I'm one of few who actually like brussel sprouts, unlike the other two guests I was with lol. The other two, both ordered the Filet Mignon. They knew they didn't want their veggies, so we ordered a sharable side of the Smashed Fried Red Potatoes. However, Felix informed us they ran out of red potatoes the evening before. So instead, we ordered the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. One of the other guests ordered a cup of chili, however, Felix informed us they were out of chili that night. The cup of Seafood Bouillabaisse was outstanding and loaded with medium-sized shrimp, baby clams, and chunks of fish. The broth was light and water-based versus a heavy cream base I'm used to seeing and having. So even with the mishaps and waiting as is, it took quite some time for our entrees to arrive. Felix even came by and told us they were still waiting on one of the filets. When our entrees finally did arrive, one of the two filets were barely warm. So that was disappointing after all that waiting. My Chilean Sea Bass was phenomenal, cooked perfectly, and had the best sear on it. It had a thin top layer of yummy tender crisp, with tender fish meat, and accompanied with a delicious lemon herb sauce. I was very pleased with my sea bass choice. Although we didn't get our first choice of the red smashed potatoes, the garlic mashed potatoes were reported to be really great. I don't eat meat and it came with bacon on it. So that's that. For dessert, we ordered a couple of the creme brulees and the Baked Alaska. The creme brulee was really good--the custard was light and creamy versus the last one I had at Beverly's, which was dense and heavy. Both were good, it just depends what texture you prefer. The carmelized sugar top had a good taste and tap to it. The show stopper though, was the Baked Alaska. It's a chocolate sponge cake with vanilla ice cream on top then covered in meringue. When it was brought to our table, Felix lit the skillet on fire and it baked the meringue. It was fun to watch and it tasted fantastic. Again despite all the mishaps during dinner, Felix was an amazing server and the food we did eat was really great. The manager even comped our desserts, which was super nice and something they didn't have to offer. Every restaurant has its off night's and we won't let this one time keep us away. We'll be back for Felix's outstanding service!
