Staff were young and looked like they were there for summer jobs but service was solid. We ordered wings, bowl of chowder, drinks, and assorted happy hour bites that were all solid. Cute place for a nice hangout and they have Sunday prime rib dinner so worth checking it out. There's also ample free parking, which is a bonus.

I recommend the restaurant (not golf), especially for large groups. We celebrated a birthday and…read morehad a private area where we could chat intimately! The service was top notch as well! The server was so honest and helpful and handled our large group perfectly. They start you with freshly baked sourdough bread! Incredibly fresh and warm and such a comfort. The table got wings and ARTICHOKE DIP (cream cheese, Grana Padano, mozzarella, peppers, served with tortilla chips). The dip was warm and very creamy with plenty of cheese and chunks of artichoke! Luckily, we ordered 2 portions because this was a hit! I got CAESAR SALAD (chopped romaine hearts, house-made garlic dressing, brioche crouton, crispy parmesan). Very delicious and huge! The crispy parm added a nice touch too! I paired that with the SPAGHETTI POMODORO (San Marzano tomatoes, Calabrian chili, whipped burrata, basil, pecorino). It was huge and a lot of burrata. It needed a bit of salt and was surprisingly spicy! Food came out very fast and didn't disappoint! Exceptional all around.

I will admit: this is the one Yelp review that i've kept putting off... the one that time and time…read moreagain, i've made excuses for... because this dear folks, this is my greatest secret. I currently possess a library of 700+ books. It's safe to say, i'm a full fledged bibliophile. And i'm damn proud of my collection. I've got the Booker prize winners since my year of birth (personally mission to read), almost all the Nobel Literature laureates in the same time frame, CBC Reads authors, Giller Prize winners and even a few of Oprah's picks. I've got a couple shelves of poetry; a good collection of coffee table books and a cupboard of doubles - perfect for any house warming/dinner party/birthday gift. My library largely came together in the last three years and in its entirety, should have cost me thousands to assemble. Except it didn't. And after getting scolded by my mother for keeping quiet about a good cause, i'll explain why: The White Rock Rotary Book Sale. Hold on now. Don't roll your eyes. I know what you're thinking but this isn't an ordinary book sale full of old text books, cookbooks and bad romance novels (though, if that's your cup of tea, they have those too). No no, this is a magical land where you can find the greatest of authors in almost pristine condition. I've found Jose Saramago's Blindness in mint condition hard cover. About 8 perfect copies of The English Patient (the non-movie cover); not to mention every other title from Mr. Ondaatje. An old school version of 100 Years of Solitude before they started with the hokey covers... the list goes on and on and on. The first time my mother and I went, we left with two boxes each. Over 250 books. Because here's the best part: Not only is this for a great cause. And has a great selection. But it's $3 a book or 3 for $5. GGAAAHHHHHH!!!!! We're so notorious at this sale, that not only do they know both of us by name, but the exceptionally helpful club members occasionally set aside authors they know I like and pass on "HA HA beat you to it!" messages when my mother gets there before me. In fact, they not only help you look for whatever title you happen to be seeking but if they DON'T have it, they will take your information and call you after the sale if they come across it while sorting through the new used books. Why? Because these are the NICEST PEOPLE IN EXISTENCE. My mother and I are so obsessed with this book sale of mythical proportions that we arrange work and travel dates around it. It's serious business. So i'm telling you...still slightly begrudgingly...but i'm telling you because these are fabulous people, hosting a fabulous GEM of a booksale for a fabulous cause. And you should support them. I'm going to get there before you anyway. PS. For those with little ones (or the aunties & uncles with little ones to spoil): they have a decent collection of children's books available "by donation." Check their website for upcoming dates & stories on other good stuff.

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.
