They prey on their captive audience! Unfortunately we stayed for a couple of days at this resort, and regretted it very quickly after arriving at there restaurant. The staff was very rude and made sure to make you feel unwelcome. We sat a the bar and had to suffer through extremely poor service and listen to the staff complaining about being reprimanded by management prior to there shift. I think the reprimands might have been warranted. The food was mediocre at best but could not make up for the staff. We will not be back! read more

your kinda stuck coming here and stuck with the prices unless you drive to dwtn Blaine but the bar looked nice. Long wait even though there were a bunch of empty tables. Harry Potter themed cocktails for some reason but it was good. Chicken wings weren't that great at all and really expensive and you only get 6. My friend got fish and chips and gave me a piece and I could only eat one bite cause it tasted off and not fresh at all. Pizza was super expensive and soggy in the middle but edible. total was almost 100$!!! crazy. Drive to Blaine and skip this place . read more

Our overall meal was average at best considering the price point and level of the hotel. To start, it would be nice if they had a printed list of what tap offerings are available. Our server wanted to recite all of them (and did) , but my husband ended up getting up and walking over to where a list was posted since he couldn't remember them all. I enjoyed my wine, but didn't realize until we got the bill the price of my pour, since the menu only listed one price. I appreciate having a 6 or 9 oz. option, but tell me up front. My cioppino ($42) had good flavor and heat in the broth, and a lot of clams, but I could hardly find the cod or salmon that were supposed to be in there along with 3 or 4 shrimp. My husband's 10 oz. Flat Iron steak & frites ($36) ordered medium rare, was very unevenly cooked. The edges had no pink, and what was supposed to be a bernaise sauce seemed to be a cold dish of butter. The fries were at least good. The plating was very uninspired/uninviting as well. We did enjoy the mixed green salad ($11), and that was also the best value. Our service was pleasant if a bit disorganized. There seems to be a lot of walking about without making use of accomplishing something while in the area. Not sure why she removed the bowl for my shells before I was done, either. We were very glad we had decided to bring some take out Mexican from a food truck with us the first night of our stay! Even if we stay at the resort again, I'm not sure we would dine here again. We definitely would not make the drive out here to dine after dark when there I no view. read more

I love Packers . Every-time I am here the food is always delicious, the staff is always friendly and it's always a great time. This last visit (October 2020) all servers wore masks, required customers to wear masks and kept the tables separated. Things I recommend Fish and Chips - the fires are sooo crispy and flavorful Woodfire Pizza- Fig&Blue- if u love that sweet and savory vibe- this is it! Salish Sea Cioppino- this has some spice and is absolutely shareable. The broth is soo delicately delicious and the seafood is abundant . You just can't go wrong . read more

Party of 10 & our server couldn't be bothered to check on us after food was delivered, ask for drink orders or split a bill properly. Skipped over the children at the table as if they wouldn't be ordering/ eating. Out of date menu online. 1/10 for service. read more

We went to Packers Kitchen last weekend and the food for lunch was horrible. First we got six tiny oysters, which we like, but the minuett sauce was warm and usually it has shallots but this one did not. My husband ordered the fish and chips. We are sitting on the bay with gorgeous views of the water and all the boats bringing in fresh fish. Yet, his fish and chips were frozen. I ordered chicken wings. These were the worst anorexic chicken wings! Do not order, ever, these chicken wings were so small, no meat at all, dried up sauce and these to are frozen. Our server couldn't care less about us, never asked how our food was. When he finally showed up, no he was not busy there were literally two tables in the whole restaurant, he could see I only ate one chicken wing And we asked if everything was frozen and he said yes. He noticed the fish and chips were not eaten but he never asked about the food. Our bill was over $100 dollars. I ate three oysters and one chicken wing. Final thought, The Packers Kitchen has awful frozen food when they sit five feet from the bay, with boats bringing in fresh fish. I bet every customer goes in there believing there getting fresh fish, when it's not, just gross frozen fish. read more

Way too expensive for what I'm fairly certain was a microwaved hamburger. The setting was kind of nice next to the water, but the staff seemed almost indifferent. I'd pass. read more

Great views. Good service. Average food but Large portions. Expensive and usually a long wait. One of the few restaurants open a little later in the area. You're paying for the views and less for the food. Usually very busy so would recommend calling ahead or making a reservation. Salmon - decent size salmon. Slightly over cooked but well seasoned. Broccoli was light and scalloped potatoes were good. Chowder - creamy and very filling. Generous with their chunks of seafood. Not too overwhelming fishy Garlic fries - huge portion. Very garlicky and flavorful but the sauce made a lot of the fries soggy. Still would recommend. read more

It would be impossible to overstate how bad our meal was last night at Packers. It is truly a shame that this place can't get their act together and serve a decent meal. The service was good, we sat at the bar, but it was probably the worst meal I've had at a restaurant in years. The setting is absolutely gorgeous, if they could even put out average food it would be good enough because the location is so stunning. But, nope. It just isn't happening. read more

The food was not great. The burger seemed like it was a frozen patty, lettuce was in small hard pieces. The Salmon was overcook, we sent it back and the server left the sides with us and didn't return for a long time with the Salmon that was over cooked even more! He should have seen it and not even brought it. So ate only the two cold sides! Very disappointed read more

The food had no taste and zero spice! There is only 1 option for vegetarians, sadly. The good thing is that there is a kids menu, but the grilled cheese wasn't even grilled! Just raw! NEVER EVER going to come back! Highly DONT recommend!! read more

Five adults and two kids We paid a gratuity for almost self service! The waitress complained about everything; blamed the cooks, the bar etc..... everyone but herself! She would not walk around the table ..... just passed everything; same for taking things away! Everything took forever to come and some got good and others did not....... So we ate before it got cold ; the other half came as we were more than halfway through our food!! So overall not a good experience for a very expensive meal!! read more

What a waste of a great space and fabulous view. We went for lunch in the middle of a weekday. Mediocre food served by frustratingly slow service. read more

Wife and I went to this place by recommendation from our hotel (Worldmark). We did not have a reservation but were seated in relatively short time. We ordered the Heirloom Tomato & Summer Vegetable Salad, Spicy Fried Calamari and the Salish Sea Cioppino. Here is my breakdown: Atmosphere and views - 5 stars, more if possible Service - 5 stars also. I regret that I cant recall our waitress's name but she was stellar. Food - 3 stars. The Cioppino was sooo salty; it had potential but it was as if they took the entire bottle of salt and poured it all into the pot. The calamari and salad were quiet tasty. Overall, we still recommend this place, but don't have too high expectations on the food. read more

Worst pizza ever! Burnt, no taste - described as blue cheese, mushrooms, Alfredo sauce, pretty much zero ingredients and dried up. So salty, ate a couple of slices (not enamel cracking crust) with ingredients sparse and only on 1/2 of each slice, could not figure out what kind of pizza I was eating. Very few people in restaurant and after 30 minutes had to flag down waitress to ask where is our order. She came by much later after delivering food and told her terrible pizza and she asked if I wanted a box to take it home. 3 hr later my stomach still bothering me. read more

The service was 5 stars! Erin the bartender hand stuffed the olives with blue cheese upon request for our dirty vodka martinis. She was amazing! Tiffany our server was also great and attentive for a busy Saturday night. We had an amazing corner table with a great view of the water. We weren't that hungry so we just had the garlic fries with bacon and the boneless chicken bites. read more

What a joke. Unfortunately we are staying at the resort so kinda forced to come here.We came in for drinks and appetizers, one hour wait for bar seating . Went into the bar to order a drink and wait, four tables are open. The waitress sat a party of three with no reservations out of the blue. What about us? 30 minutes later same three tables are open, still waiting! Food is below average,drinks are OK but prices are way over what they should be. I was there in 2014 and loved it, what happened? I will never come back again. read more

Pack a cooler with food cause this place is a waste of money and time. TOO much time. Our entire evening plans were ruined because it took over an hour to get our below average, dry over cooked steak and salmon. Thankfully our toddler was in a good mood and was patient because I sure wasn't. The focaccia bread is honestly embarrassing. (Pictured) Our server was so nice and apologetic, wasn't his fault - kitchen needs to pull it together! Very disappointed as this was our first visit to stay in the resort and the only restaurant in walking distance. Yikes. read more

Packers Kitchen + Bar - This was the pathetic focaccia that took 35 minutes to get after ordering. Nothing focaccia about it! - Seafood Near Me - Blaine, Washington

The view is excellent. The bar was good. My companion ordered fish chowder, which was delicious, and a salad. I had the fish and chips. The fish was good and I prefer beer batter but the batter didn't adhere to the fish and most of it ended up in an oily pile uneaten on the side of the plate. We haven't been there in 27 years and the resort is looking a bit worse for wear, with peeling paint and dry rot in the siding and signs of wear and tear in the interior. read more

I definitely recommend it. The food is really good, always fresh. Amazing drinks. Excellent customer service. Please bring back your awesome fried calamari. It is one of the best we have tried. Love them!! read more

Worst worst worrrrrst place we could've gone! From bad service to bad food!!! This is kitchen nightmare status... We had to literally got our own waters, then waitress came to ask if we needed drinks 30 minutes after being seated (1 st acknowledgement) took forever for the food, they closed as we were still waiting, my 8 year old being the last one served cuz they put cheese on her plain burger and she had to wait to eat after all of us cuz they kept bringing out our dishes like it was a five course meal... I.e. no bread with a bowl of seafood soup.... Caesar salad with no Cesar, (then bringing me MAYO AS THE CESAR DRESSING AFTER NO DRESSING ON MY SALAD!! , fries but no burger etc just so bad. The only thing this place has going for it is the view and aesthetic. read more

The ambiance is the only thing this place has going for it now. Besides the one snotty woman I asked a question of, who literally yelled at me, the rest are really nice and competent. The bartender's are fun and upbeat. We loved this place before the pandemic; now the menu is down to about 10 items. I ordered the Fish taco's - very bland, but the chips were good; my husband had a bacon cheeseburger - too much bun for the burger, again, chips were good; our friend had lamb-burger - too much bun, chips were good. We were hoping for there amazing pizza, nope sold out - on a Saturday night ??? Can't say we'll be rushing to go back. read more

This was our first visit; I had feared it might be a snooty place. No pretension here - only very friendly staff, extraordinary food, a great bar and incredible views. We purposely arrived early to enjoy a beer before dinner, with lots of options on the water, including rocking chairs, chaise lounges, teak benches - all meticulously maintained, and even driftwood. Best bartender. The staff were all delightful. We ordered an appetizer of calamari. Maybe the best I've ever had - small and tender, just enough breading, not at all greasy, with a sauce that perfectly complemented the dish. We both ordered the cioppino - a whopping amount of shellfish, salmon, cod and andouille sausage in a rich broth. The andouille provided just the right amount of spice. The crusty bread was the perfect accompaniment. The ambience of the converted fish canning facility was excellent. Gigantic beams, high ceilings, good lighting, an architecturally respectful conversion. And did I mention the views? Windows lining the walls, overlooking the Puget Sound and Canada. I have an attitude about rotating restaurants and those with incredible views, resting on that instead of the food. Not so here. And no, I'm not one of those Amazon-like reviewers paid for their high ratings. This was a memorable experience. We'll be back. A special call out to our server Susan, who had a lot on her hands, and still made us feel like we were special guests. An all-around great experience. read more

Located right on site at Semiahmoo Spa & Resort. I've toggle between 3 or 4 stars but decided to go with a 3 due to limited selection on their menu. The foods are not bad. The pasta was actually very creamy and flavorful. I've enjoyed it much. The salad lacks a little dressing but fresh. The pizza was too thick for me and not enough toppings but it was still yummy. The only downside was their hostess was not too friendly. read more

Excellent lunch dinner or a great place to watch the game with good eats. Packers is open 9 am until 9 pm most days, they are open later Friday and Saturday. These times are different than what is shown on the YELP main page. read more

I'm so glad this place is able to operate during COVID . I did see some Lower rating , i wasn't what that was about . I decided to give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised. COVID precautions are strictly applied . There are some seating areas in front of the bar and the set up is in a way to respect social distancing . staff is helpful and nice ; they made some spot on recommendations. It's not hard to make gd calamari , but it's tough to make a good one . Probably the best calamari I've had in this area. Clam chowder was good and definitely compares to other places that are known for that . Fish tacos are also delicious . Spectacular views . I highly suggest this place if your visiting the area . read more

My wife and I stayed at the Semiahmoo Resort while on a trip of the Pacific Northwest. We arrived to Semiahmoo pretty late in the evening, but heard that Packers was still open, and we were hungry. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. I ordered a bowl of steamers and my wife had their wings from the appetizer menu. Both items were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. You know steamers are good when you can put them in a tasteful, but not invasive, broth. They still tasted a bit like the sea, but were succulent and filled me right up. We also had this delicious peach and ice cream dessert thing that was to die for. I'm fairly certain it was a seasonal dessert, but it was unique and very well-done. The view here is something special as well, it's right on the waterfront, and it may hold the record for being the closest restaurant to the western Canadian border in the US. You can look across the bay and see White Rock, BC and it provides such a peaceful atmosphere and ambience. The decor is modern and upscale. It's a good place to come and grab a drink at the bar and hang out to watch the game, or it fits as a nice little romantic dinner on the water. Either way, you're more than likely going to be staying at the resort in order to visit this place, but it is off the hook!! read more

Rick was our server tonight (8/29) and we did apps, drinks, mains and dessert. He was funny and personable. Attentive, but clearly he knew how to serve like a pro. He let us talk and talk and only checked in at those perfect windows. The food was fantastic and the sunset was glorious. I'm coming back here any chance I get. read more

While staying at the Resort, we decided to have dinner here. We were asked to be put on the list and given an estimated one hour wait time. They asked for a cell number so they could text when our table was ready. It was about a half hour and we got our text. They have a nice variety and from the looks of it, they use local resources/companies. They said they had a 90 minute limit for the tables due to their busy night. That seemed like a lot of time.. no one enforced it or anything but kind of an odd thing to mention. Maybe as to not stay and linger with the tvs playing? Cute environment .. it was dark when we got there but I would assume during daylight it would be an amazing view. Staff is friendly. Kids 5 and under eat free, which was nice because my daughter is 5 and they can choose a drink, a meal (only 3 selections for the littles but they have another kids menu for 8.50), a side dish, and dessert. I tried the chowder (meh, it was ok...) and the salad with the greens, hazelnuts, and blue cheese. My husband had the fish and chips and they were delish! Would eat here again when we come Back read more

Stopped in for a quick bite at Packers. Seafood chowder was delicious. Didn't have any but sweet ciders on tap, but my server, Jack, came up with an alternative. In fact, his service was exemplary. BTW, I was a resort opening management team member for Semiahmoo in 1986. Nice to see the property looking so good and the staff well trained. read more

I had high hopes for Packers, but I was sadly disappointed. I'll start with the things we liked. Our server was very nice and the shrimp hushpuppies were really tasty. The rest of our experience was not great. We ordered the Seafood Starter Platter. It was not good. They were out of the mussels so we opted to have two more raw oysters added instead. Big mistake. I'm a huge oyster lover so I was excited to dig in. However, these oysters were awful! They 1) were not cold and 2) had a horrible taste...like what I would imagine stinky feet would taste like. Very bad. The flat bread was basically baked chewy pizza dough with a sprinkle of parmesan. It was lacking any real flavor. Last but not least, they had run out of salmon dip, but let us know they were making some fresh dip in the back. We waited, and waited, and waited. The server was very nice about it and offered to just discount the bill if we didn't want to wait. We said that would be fine, but in the next 8-10 minutes she came and said the dip would be out in just a minute. We asked for it in a to-go container. When it finally came, I sampled it and it was not great either. It had a runny consistency and was way too salty to be edible. We ended up leaving it on the table when we left. It was not worth taking home. Besides the unprepared kitchen and the poorly tasting food, the bill was WAY too high for the horrible seafood platter we received. The next time we are out that way, we'll opt for a sandwich at the little cafe and gift shop instead of going to Packers. read more

The service is good but wow, the food is not! After waiting for 90 minutes for our food, our seafood boil was like a soup! Tons of liquid and we couldn't eat it! See pic read more

After a long day of driving, we checked into Semiahmoo and were looking foward to a drink and some delicious food. Instead we got very small drink at top notch prices... and bunch of Happy Hour appetizers that were very sad to say the least. Our waitress was tired to busy and was pretty rude. First impression are everything... that was our only meal at Semiahmoo.... Too bad.. read more

What a beautiful setting right on the water at Semiahmoo! We came for a late dinner and enjoyed the sunset while we ate our meal! The service was very friendly and quick. We ordered a few dishes and ate family style. The Fig and Blue Pizza was good. We thought that it could've had a bit more to it...maybe a drizzle of olive oil and honey would have finished the dish off nicely! The Asparagus Salad was good too but once again it could have had a bit more flavours it! I did love the fresh Burrata cheese...so yummy! We ended up topping our pizza with the ingredients from the salad. We also ordered the chefs specialty dessert...brown butter cake with an apple compote...yummy but I was expecting more flavour from the bourbon caramel icing. All of the ingredients sounded so good on the menu but the food itself fell kind of flat. Would come back for a glass of wine and some charcuterie just to take in that spectacular view! read more

We sat down at Packers Restaurant at 7p. We ordered shortly after. When 7:40p rolled around, I got up and walked back to the waiter area and asked the manager what they hold up was with our food. She said, the top sirloin was overdone and they had to recook it. We didn't get our food til 7:50p!! We basically spent $100 for dinner for dinner to come out 50 minutes later! For a nice resort, I would have expected this to be handled better!!! If we would have known it would have taken this long to eat, we would have gone somewhere else. Nice view... Food was decent, but way overpriced and slow.... from the other reviews, sounds like they need to learn how to cook steak. Gave it a star for nice view and decent tasting food, though couldn't tell if I was hungry or it was really good food after waiting almost an hour to eat! Would not come back here again. read more

Staying in the hotel, and we have to walk down to place a to-go order. When I call the line, the only option is to leave a voice-mail requesting a reservation and they will call you back. Not very inviting to walk down, place your order and come back 20 minutes later. Very mixed food quality. I'm a bit more suspicious of the $20 6oz Kobe beef burger I had last night (though it was pretty good), after having the $20 chicken strips today to find they were basically Tyson frozen & breaded chicken. The tomato soup that came with my grilled cheese was also way over-herbed. I don't want to dip a grilled cheese into tomato soup that tastes more of fines herbs than tomato. Wasn't thrilled paying $52 for a meal I could get at Denny's for $20. I'm not Denny's shaming, though I haven't eaten there in a decade, but at least you know what you're signing up for. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this menu comes from Sysco. That's not terrible, but it's not great. I'd give (an honestly generous) 3 stars for the food if the service were better. View is admittedly 5+ stars. Edit: Scrolled the reviews after posting mine and I see an interesting proportion of recent 5-star reviews come from profiles with a very low number of overall reviews. read more

Very good brunch today. I asked for and received a blueberry cosmo since I saw they had fresh blueberries in other drinks. Very nice. I had the seafood chowder. It was excellent, with lots of salmon and chopped clams. The flavor reminded me of whiskey crab chowder. I miss the chowder from years ago which had clams in the shell but this was very enjoyable. Mom enjoyed her lemon ricotta pancakes but I found them a bit dry. Our waiter Andrew was a delight and bartender were really nice. View of course was awesome. read more

Great view, excellent service. We had been looking for good, locally sourced fish and found it here. The king salmon was excellent.

We had two meals during our stay for a girls weekend at Semiahmoo. The choices are a bit limited, but very good and there was enough variety to come back! On the first night, our server Tiffany overheard us saying we were celebrating our birthdays. When we ordered dessert she brought out the cake with a lit candle! This was a late celebration for us but so thoughtful. I would recommend timing your meal for sunset, but the view is great regardless. read more
