`The Ship Inn

Last night on our way from Seattle to Seaside, we enjoyed a very nice dinner at the Ship Inn in Astoria. This has been a family favorite of ours for years and it%26#39;s better than ever!

I had a glass of Pinot Gris, we had the clam chowder, the shrimp salad which is made with lots of fresh, Bay shrimp and the half order of Halibut fish anc chips, for dessert we took some raspberry pie home. Our service is always warm and friendly here and we like to watch the ships glide by as we dine here. This is a casual venue in Astoria with very pretty views of the Columbia River and the Astoria-Megler bridge.

Once again, we%26#39;re so happy that you%26#39;re happy and that you let us know about your every wonderful meal, but shouldn%26#39;t this be posted as a restaurant review? I was under the impression that these forums were designed more for helping visitors with their travel plans than as a diary for an individual%26#39;s daily experiences in life.

Perhaps the new owners (The Ship Inn was for sale and is presumed to have new owners by now) will clean the place up and improve the quality of food. I%26#39;m far from a foodie, but last I

ate there (Feb 2007) I had a miserable experience from start to finish. Needless to say, I was quite disapointed b/c this was always a family favorite when I was growing up and on into my college days and after.

Syrahgirl, which Pinot Gris did you have? Did your husband have a glass of wine too? Which one did he have?

Well, I would like to ask a question of syrahgirl here about the Ship Inn, but I know she won%26#39;t answer.
