Reviews for Mackinaw's in Chehalis, WA
Atmosphere & food were good. NOTE: They did lose their liquor license about a year ago (due to no -compliance with Cov!d... restrictions) & are in the process of (hopefully) having it re-instated, so if you would like to imbibe, try some of the bars inthe area. Reservations are a definite must, as the space is small, and the food is made fresh to order. Read more
This is the first time we felt Google misled us lol (nothing against Google). We went there due to the high 4.6 star rating,... which barely beat out past the other place we were considering, but we knew, halfway through our dinner, that we had made amistake. A place that has pictures showing alcoholic beverages being available in the past should know better to AT LEAST havesome sort of postage, somewhere, detailing that alcoholic beverages are not currently available on the premises. Additionally, aplace with such a limited menu might consider having said menu posted (in person, at the restaurant entrance for example)somewhere where folks can look at it and decide if they want to proceed to have dinner or not given what is available and whatis being offered. We made reservations and were promptly seated. Service was nice enough! The restaurant, at night, is DARK. Iunderstand the 'mood' feeling, but it was pretty dark even for that. It made it difficult to see our food. Also, half of thelittle fake candles floating in water weren't working and, to me, for a self-declared 'higher-end' restaurant, seemed awfullytacky looking given they were just wine glasses filled with water and topped with plastic lamp-shade looking plastic covers. Weordered our food and the wait was noticeable. The restaurant was not even 50% seated, so it wasnt even that they wereslammed. I noticed other tables, seated after us, were getting their food first. Additionally, I noticed tables were gettingcomplimentary bread/butter - I stopped our waitress and asked what was going on there (because we hadn't received anything) andshe replied that due to WHAT we had ordered for our appetizers, we weren't allocated the complimentary bread/butter. Ok ????,nice to know. The appetizer food was good. Not amazing, but good. The shrimp were ALMOST overcooked. The fondue....it's a fundish, but for bread, apples, a few pieces of sausage, and a beer-cheese, it's hard to understand the $31 price Read more
Fantastic wait staff and menu. Definitely the place to go for an upscale dining experience if you're celebrating something and... want to support local. Read more
Very very delicious food! Worth the wait, make sure you try to get there at the beginning of the hours open. We had no issues... with food running out but I heard a few people mention the steak goes very quick. Both of us loved our meals & the saladdressings were so tasty! Will be back! Read more
This place was so good! The server was amazing. The food was so worth it. Highly recommend! Will definitely go again!
The fifth star is in anticipation of reinstatement of their liquor license. I guess they behaved badly during the... pandemic. Aside from that, it's a nice place for dinner. Closer to fine dining than most anything in the area. The service wasgreat and the food was very good. I also enjoyed the atmosphere and the fact that it's in my favorite part of Chehalis. My wifeenjoyed her chicken ravioli and I had a Pakistani style beef curry. I understand that the menu changes frequently. I'm lookingforward to another visit. Read more
