With a view of the distillery itself, this restaurant has a wide range of food on its menu to choose from but every time we visit we have to order the Whiskey Queso Dip. A verity of melted cheeses and cream mixed with garlic, shallots, thyme, and a reduction of chuckanut bay whiskey come together in a gooey concoction delivered straight from heaven. This appetizer has so much flavor that will always have you coming back for more! For dinner we shared the Fig & Brie Pizza. A sweet fig jam base covered in brie, bacon, pickled shallots, and house made hot honey. This pizza has the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors that come together beautifully. Like I said before this restaurant is a favorite of ours and we will definitely be coming back again soon.

This was the worst pasta I have ever had! And it cost $28!!! I didn't think you could mess up pasta, but they did!

There are 2 locations, Old Town is much larger for seating than State St. and I am not sure if State St. has food. Fast and friendly service, especially for a pretty busy Saturday night. At Old Town the food is burger and a chicken sandwich. They are all delicious! Tasty potato chips too! The beer is delicious and spot on with several different varieties! Everyone in my group tried different beers and we all enjoyed them very much! I particularly liked the Edel, although Fvzz was delicious too!

Great beer and a huge delicious all vegetarian menu with tons of vegan options. They have weekend brunch and full lunch and dinner menus during the week. This is one of my favorite Bellingham spots for vegan options, and I try to make it on every trip! They have shakshuka they can make vegan with tofu, vegan beer cheese as an option for pretzels or smothering burritos, and pierogi and latkes. It's delicious! Super kid-friendly, almost every group at brunch had a toddler. And the folks who working there are very friendly and helpful.

Two stars - Disappointed…read more We went here with a group of friends towards the end of the evening on a Saturday. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. There are both outdoor and indoor seating areas. The seats by the fire pits outside were all taken, so we stayed inside. They have a variety of board games, and we took advantage of that. While I enjoyed the atmosphere, I cannot say the same for one member of the staff. I tried ordering food, but I had an unpleasant encounter with the person taking my order. They seemed completely uninterested in their job and made it seem like I was burdening them by ordering food. I ended up not ordering anything. The person at the bar was nice, and I did not have any issues with them. Perhaps it was an off night for the one staff member, but it rubbed me the wrong way. Despite my encounter, I liked the bar. I would probably recommend going to the bar with the caveat about potentially having poor service.

Loved this spot! It was a great place to hangout while we were wandering around town. They had a…read morelovely outside space with plenty of seating, and a wide variety of seating - fire pit seats, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs. We sat by the fire for most of our stay and it was lovely. It was the perfect temperature to be outside by a fire pit. The drink I got was lovely, and they had a diverse menu of options with beers on tap and cocktail options. We didn't get a chance to try the food but it looked delicious! You order at the counter and seat yourself. I'd definitely come back!

I ordered a mimosa and the ricotta lemon pancakes. Mimosa was v yummy, always a fun way to start your day LOL. Pancakes come with eggs and sausage and the pancakes themselves are hefty, so this was an extremely hefty meal haha. Pancakes were light and fluffy and lemony. I'm a waffle fan, but I would eat these again. Overall, a really good option for food. Peaceful vibes which I really enjoyed and friendly service.

The restaurant is by the 18th hole of the golf course, a great location. We had the option to pick from a indoor and outdoor table, we chose to sit outside on a great day. They have umbrellas that make it comfortable to sit out in the setting sun. We got the soup of the day, Wild Halibut and Saffron Risotto, and Bucatini & Clams. We liked the soup, both the Wild Halibut and Saffron Risotto and Bucatini & Clams were both great. We loved them both. I also enjoyed a Raspberry Whiff. We finished with Chai Creme Brulee. It was great, a lovely end to our meal.

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.
