What a hidden gem!! Stopped in for a quick glass of wine but ended up trying a couple small bites…read more Service was absolutely fantastic. What made this place stand out to me the most was the bartender whipped up the most absolute AMAZING espresso martini I've ever had. Just happened to have a conversation about how much I love a good espresso martini. I've had many but this place wins 1st place! There was also live music later in the evening and the environment was very casual and up beat. I will definitely be returning for another espresso martini in the near future! Tons of wine options to choose from.

I heard about this place on a podcast (ITM) and wanted to go to a celebratory dinner somewhere new…read more The drive to Blaine was super easy, the location is convenient, and there is ample parking. There is definitely at least one back room, but the main dining room is a bright, airy space that has access to a patio where may even be some live music playing. The tables are gorgeous - all live edge, which might create a bit of an issue if you have short arms and are used to stealing bites across the table, but they are absolutely beautiful and a nice nod to the area. The wine list is extensive and a bit overwhelming, but the service is happy, friendly, and very knowledgeable. In fact, I love when servers don't know, admit it, and find the answer for you - it's humble and shows they really care at getting you what you want. We got the orange wine, which is a new favorite of mine. It's like a rose for reds. Rose:White::Orange:Red. More savory, still light, and best chilled. We had the beet hummus app, which is definitely best eaten with your hands. It's light and delicious. We had the miso black cod, a personal favorite, and the lasagna for dinner and while both were good, the accoutrements with the cod were the true standout. Amazing and I could probably eat two of them. As the restaurant operates on a seasonal menu, we had a strawberry rhubarb cobbler for dessert. I know there is Sunday Brunch, and I can't wait to try it. It's not the cheapest, but it's one of the nicer restaurants in Whatcom, and is definitely worth your pennies. Everything about it makes for a truly nice experience, and we'll definitely be back.

Stephen was so easy to work with throughout the process and the musicians he selected could not have been more perfect. They were friendly, punctual and gladly played the music she selected amongst other pieces they played. All were seasoned professionals. The price was excellent value. The harpist, Matthew Tutsky plays and looks like an angel carved by Michelangelo. This was the loveliest private concert I could imagine. Jamie Chimchurian and Jae Choi on violin and cello played the most beautiful music during dinner forming the perfect elegant backdrop for the guests' enjoyment. Jacob Daniel then played keyboard and sang just amazingly well. His repertoire was so broad and tailored perfectly for this occasion. I'm looking to buy albums from each and every one of them. I was the wedding coordinator and wedding day coordinator myself and have been involved in upscale events for many years. Believe me when I tell you these are the finest musicians and management I have ever worked with.

I was driving the mains as hard as they could and I managed to dial in a severe sonic wall of full,rich sound with just enough top end to deliver the highs. The seemingly innocent looking jbl monitors ensure u hear every dynamic nuance guaranteeing a perfect reference point and a sinister level of decibels should u need to unleash some serious sound pressure levels. If you know how to mix, the gear is more than capable of producing blistering levels of sonic mayhem yet remain clean and defined throughout the entire mix. Rock solid sound proofing and acoustically treated walls maintain low leakage and controlled sound absorbtion. The shure sm 48 mics lack the crisp brightness and full bottom of it's big brother the sm58, thus needing a small boost in the top end of ur strip. Even then the sm48 falls short of the legendary 58 sound. Very similar but not. Beringer boards r simple,powerful and boasts more than decent 24 bit onboard rotary controlled sound fx. The Beringher /Jbl systems r responsive and effective choices for tight clean sound with enough head room and punch to propel you when needed, yet subtle enough to still be sweet and dynamic as well making these rooms suitable for all styles of projects/bands. Clean, secure ,comfortable pro rooms w lots of outlets and space. Lighting would not go off which drove me nuts,as I bought my own lighting which had to compete with bright overhead floods. A dimmer would be a perfect addition. Love the complimentary fresh coffee and chilled water provided. I can't w8 2 return for the next session!!! Plug in turn up,BLAST OFF! U should go,...

This place is a dump under the new owner. The three music rooms on the first floor are now gone,…read moreand the 'penthouse' on the second floor is now a third of the size with a big black curtain divider and filled with sewing machine stations. The complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and hot/cold water machine are gone, and there is nowhere to put your guitar cases as the tables have disappeared, too. As I said, it's a dump. Look elsewhere for a band rehearsal space. Once Music Makers was sold it was over. The room upstairs is just a very unpleasant place to make music now.
