Reviews for Chinook's At Salmon Bay in Seattle, WA
For starters, the focaccia bread they provide at the beginning is phenomenal! Delicious, buttery, and warm. It's a homemade... recipe and we're glad they provided us a second serving. This is also great for dipping into any sauces you get with dishes(more on that later). We got the crab cakes and shrimp scampi. Our friends got the salmon and cod and fish and chips. The crabcakes were so tender. The breading was soft and moist and it really helped highlight the tenderness of the Dungeness crab. Theshrimp scampi was perfectly cooked and the garlic butter sauce was fantastic. The potatoes that came with this were some of thebest potatoes I've ever had! My potatoes were slightly over cooked compared to everyone else's which made them a slight bitmushier which was perfect for me. Lastly, we saved some of the focaccia bread so I was able to dip this in the scampi sauce. Itwas soooo delicious! It just added more butter and garlic to the bread which I thoroughly enjoyed. Our friend had some toughercod but the manager was super nice, explained that their process made the cod a slight different texture but allowed them toorder something else that they'd love more. Service overall was super friendly and welcoming and I'd be happy to recommend thisplace to others. Read more
Delicious food, always great to come here with family especially right after visiting Discovery Park nearby. Been going to this... location since about 2016 or 2017 and we love this place! Great, professional and friendly service, my family and I love allthe menu items. The free bread is also delicious and the waiter refilled it for us generously as well. My sibling is vegetarianand when we asked to have the shrimp fettuccine without the shrimp, they were able to substitute it with zucchini and mushroomswithout a problem! Read more
We were looking for seafood and for a spot on the water and they delivered. Service was good and the seafood options were great.... Nothing overly special, just an all around solid choice. They don’t take reservations, but the pier outside is a nice waitingare! Read more

Highly recommend this spot! The food and service was incredible. Our server was helpful and patient as we asked questions about... the menu. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine, which was so creamy and delicious. There was a great amount of the small shrimp andthe vegetables in it were cooked perfectly. The salmon tacos were also a hit. The atmosphere is laid back with great views ofthe boats at port. Plus, it’s nice to walk around the boat slips if you end up waiting for a table (but it’s totally worththe wait!). Read more

The salmon burger was super tasty, so much so that I almost forgot to leave some for the photo! The Boston clam chowder was also... very yummy. Service was great, our server was kind, prompt and professional. Will co.e back again for sure. Read more
This place was amazing! First off, the ambiance of the pier and boats is unbeatable. It’s not a highly trafficked touristy... area, and there’s plenty of parking. I was expecting subpar, more cafe experience, but I was happily proved wrong. Everythingwas amazing! The meals come with bread beforehand, which was out of this world. I got the clam chowder and salmon fish tacos andmy friends ordered the crab fettuccine and scallops. Also, our server Jaime was one of the sweetest ladies. She was wonderful.We’ll definitely be back and recommend. Read more
