5 /5 Christine Restaneo: Ocean Prime Restaurant
Ray and I stopped in Chehalis for the night and were looking for a nice place to have dinner. We passed several chain restaurants, but we prefer trying local spots—and we’re so glad we chose Ocean Prime.
We weren’t entirely sure at first, so we walked in and asked to see the menu. Everything looked appealing, and it felt like a true dinner restaurant. It wasn’t very busy, but that’s understandable in a small town.
Ray ordered the chef salad, chopped and tossed with blue cheese dressing, along with a bowl of French onion soup. I ordered the Thai chicken wings, and they were outstanding. The sauce was absolutely delicious—full of flavor—and the wings were large, meaty, and generous in portion. There were about six wings, and I could only finish four because they were so filling.
I tasted Ray’s soup and salad, and both were excellent. The French onion soup had a refined, almost gourmet flavor—definitely not your basic version. You could tell a lot of care went into it. The salad was very fresh, crisp, and cold, just the way it should be.
Our server, Maria, was wonderful—super friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. If we’re ever back in Chehalis, we will absolutely stop here again. A great find and a pleasant surprise.
