You'd never really pay a lot of attention to the building, coming up on it from the street (I couldn't believe it when she turned into the parking lot, thinking she must have had some errand to do first). She had to lead me inside along the speakeasy passage to the tunnel, it was so dark. I thought it was styled very fun and cute when my eyes recovered and adjusted. I wasn't super hungry so I only had the fried breaded pickles and the house battered prawns--both were great, but those prawns were something else. They were some of the best things I've ever put in my mouth--ever! Perfectly cooked, huge and moist and so flavorful. Their cocktail menu is great with lots of choices--we loved our drinks. We also loved Athena, our bartender and server, who had wonderful suggestions for us and was just wonderful in so very many ways. I so want to go back!

Definitely come early (they open at 4:00) to get seated right away, especially if it's New Year's…read moreEve, apparently! We were just in town for the day and hungry after tromping around the beaches all day. Is it always really busy? Hopefully- it's delicious. We took a walk down to the pier and back while we waited for it to open and beat all the crowds. We both had the fish and chips, which came with fries and coleslaw. I've never seen fries cut like this- as if potato jojos/wedges and twirly fries had a brain child?? Tasty though! The fish was crispy on the outside and I loved that it came with lemon AND there was malt vinegar on the table (and it came with tartar sauce too!) Perfect triple combo in my opinion and I didn't even need to ask. Coleslaw was great- not too much mayo or celery seed or anything weird. Just a good scoop of salad. I ordered scoop sauce on the side and it wasn't my favorite because I am the weirdo that doesn't like ketchup. If you like ketchup (and a touch of horseradish!) this is your sauce! It was creamy and balanced and it's popular.

A male, assuming he was the manager brought me my food and insisted I order and pay for my beer separately. I explained I already ordered and paid, he was rude and insisted I did not. He called the hostess over and asked her, she confirmed my story. The man told her to never do that again and walked away and told the bartender to get me a beer as I already paid for it. Not only was she extremely rude, but she helped other guests that arrived after me. I will never come back to this restaurant again. If you expect to be treated kindly, choose another restaurant!!!

The interior of the restaurant itself feels very retro, beach house-y which was cute. For food, I ordered the lobster and shrimp Mac n cheese, and the apple cobbler for dessert. Mac n cheese was super saucy and cheesy. It was a bit on the salty side for me, but I still very much enjoyed it. The bits of shrimp and lobster were fine, not huge chunks or anything. The dessert was real yummy as well. Good texture and good flavor. Service was a little slow, but our server was so naturally hilarious and friendly we didn't mind. Overall, a solid meal, friendly people, cute ambience.

Lively, helpful staff is really the secret sauce here. And while I usually roll thru the drive thru, tonite I went inside, and the space was bright, clean, and the young fellow using a floor cleaner immediately turned it off in consideration, before the door had closed behind me. I also enjoy that the more exotic choices on the menu (hand scooped ice cream shakes, jalapeno poppers) have so far exceeded expectations. My fifth star is for how, every time I've shown up, I tangibly feel valued as a customer. Carl senior must be proud!

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.

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.

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.
