    Lemon Drop Martini

    In town for a night on business, was looking for a nice dinner and a cocktail. The Shire Bar & Bistro did not disappoint. The Cajun salmon was delicious, and the lemon drop martini with fresh squeezed lemon juice was amazing. Great casual atmosphere. Will definitely return if I'm in area again.

    Wow. Such a disappointment.... I always say Yelpers never lie, but I feel very misled... 1. Saturday night, 6:30, less than half full...that should have told us something. 2. Have a seat guys, it will be a little while til we can get to you. (One woman waiting and tending bar, training another, and the cook... that's all... did I mention it's a Saturday night?) 3. The "beer list" was pitiful. They have a gorgeous mahogany bar. On tap were two beers from Dick's (amber and porter), Stella, and Elysian Space Dust. Nothing interesting on the bottle list either. Really?? We both had the Dick's porter which is the only porter I have had that I can see through... tastes okay though. 4. The food was atrocious. He ordered the voodoo prawns. Looked like a $6 cafeteria plate. Basically shrimp (not prawns) with buffalo sauce on white rice, with a garnish of basil and slice of lemon. Buffalo with lemon and basil?? No sour cream, as in the description, but why would there be sour cream anyway??? Just plain white rice, like the boil in bag kind. But, he said it tasted "ok" and he was hungry so he ate it. I had the cornmeal catfish. It was a soggy disgusting slab of mushiness. And who serves pesto with catfish?? It was GROSS. It was served with "seasonal vegetables" - steamed, flavorless mushy piece of broccoli, two slices of carrot and 4 small slices of some other root vegetables. Also, it came with a "shire cake" which I think was like zucchini latke. Zero flavor and also mushy. I didn't even eat half of my food. 5. Waitress came and took our plates with no comment or question about the food left on my plate. When she brought the check, my husband volunteered that this was our worst food experience in years (since Lake Charles, LA in 2016). She said she was sorry and took the bill away and returned with a reduced total. So, good on her (that's why it is 2 stars and not 1). I had high expectations based on the reviews of this restaurant and its "sister" The Branch. God help Chehalis if those are the best restaurants in town. Will try the brewery next time.

    They call it The Shire because the burgers are the size of a Hobit.

    I had the duck and risotto and it was so good! I wish they added more of the carrot puree because it was drinkable it was so good!!

    We met friends here. Honestly, I probably would never have stopped here if not for them. I have…read morepassed the spot often but just never stopped. The food was good. They have their own seasoning and you have to try it. It is pretty good. So good that I took a picture of it! The service was good. Definitely stop by when you're passing through.

    Rambling Jacks Rib Eye - Our Always-Stop Spot on the Way to Seattle…read more We stopped in for a late breakfast on our drive to Seattle and, as usual, it did not disappoint. My husband ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and I went with the Ranch Hand scramble. We split both (highly recommend doing this if you can't decide), and the portions were so generous that more than half of my scramble came home with us. What's impressive is that with portions this big, you'd expect something to give on quality -- but not here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is part of what keeps us coming back. The restaurant has that cozy, rustic charm and there's a cute little gift shop up front that's impossible to walk past without browsing. This time we grabbed some Valentine's white chocolates to take on the road -- such a fun touch. This has become one of our must-stop traditions to and from Seattle, and it's consistently worth it every single time.
