    Beachfront view! [Blaine WA] For our last meal in Blaine we walked across the street from our hotel and dined here at Bay Breeze. The friendly host seated us immediately, it wasn't that busy for a Saturday evening. He sat us by the window. It would've been a nice waterfront view but at 6:00p it was pretty much dark out. We placed our order. I chose the Pan Roasted Salmon. The king salmon was a good size and the presentation was pretty. Good citrus salad and grilled asparagus. I didn't like the couscous that much... what exactly is couscous? is it a grain? a seed? I left it as is. The salmon, which I was anticipating to be delicious was dry and tasteless! I dunno, no hint of flavored sauces, olive oil... salt? nothing. Bland ¯\_('~')_/¯ Hubby had the grilled hamburger w/ cheese. He seemed to enjoy his meal. The fries look burnt though. Service was great. Our waiter was very nice. Unfortunately, food wasn't that great and pricey too. The best part for me... the bowl of clam chowder! Review #3624

    The gorgeous view
    Kenzie G.

    Food was fine but overpriced. I got scared out of trying the fish and chips due to all the bad reviews here. I had the calamari instead which was unique but a little too much sauce led to the calamari breaking down and becoming mushy. Clam chowder was great. The views of the bay here are superb and if you stick to appetizers I think it's worth it. Only one waitress on when I came in on a weekend during lunch and she absolutely killed it. She also had to seat people on top of serving the five tables she had at that time so she was working her butt off.

    Stopped in for fish and chips on a sunny but windy late winter day. Jeffery our server was great, considerate and professional. The fish was so fresh and crispy! And I don't think I've ever had better coleslaw. The BEST!

    We came here out of convenience of the location to our lodging. Our experience was excellent! I had the rockfish and my husband the blackened shrimp fettuccine. We cleaned our plates it was that good. They source locally and we could tell the produce was fresh and excellent quality. For dessert we got both offerings, a warm apple pie like dessert which was wonderful and a crepe dessert which we didn't care for (kind of like cold tortillas with sauce). We had an amazing view of the bay, excellent service and again amazing food! I would definitely come back.

    View of the sea

    If you're looking for a place that offers a nice view, huge portions of food and is by the beach area, Bay Breeze is a solid stop. Came here with a big group and overall, had a nice dining experience here. Things to note: - View: If you want a nice view of the sea, do recommend putting in a reservation and requesting this in advance. Totally worth the extra effort. - Service: Friendly staff! Our server definitely did a great job with accommodating my group as we had a couple of small kids. - Cocktails: Wowzer, these drinks pack a nice kick. Definitely recommend ordering one of the many yummy drinks on the menu. Well crafted and worth the taste. - Food: Overall, generous portion for the dishes and quality was excellent. The menu is quite extensive ranging from typical seafood to some Asian fusion style ones. So definitely take a look at all of the options. For me, had the pleasure to try: - Calamari: Sauce had a nice spicy kick to it surprisingly... pretty good overall - Sriracha Shrimp: Not too spicy but I love the broth! Very hearty and dipping the crispy calamari with this was a pretty good combo - Surf & Turf Salad: This thing was huge!!!! Loaded with super fresh veggies, juicy steak and plump shrimp, I was stuffed by the time I finished this dish. Definitely a shareable dish for those who aren't as hungry. Plus, the sesame sauce = sooo good. - Price: Very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you order.

    Crab cake to go
    Thomas K.

    The food was just not good. We got it to go, so not sure about how it is dining in but the portions were very small and on the pricier side. The grilled octopus came with 2 small octopus and undercooked lentils. The calamari was undercooked. The clam chowder was good. Service was very good, staff were nice and friendly.

    My hamburger with cheddar cheese, bacon, and ketchup. Next to it: my fry's. All were really good!
    Jackson N.

    The only thing that I can complain about is the weird brown spot on the wall and how the fries were greasy, and that's literally it! My server was VERY nice, the crab cake was DIVINE, and the hamburger was AMAZING! I went with my mom, and she said her chicken sandwich was awesome too! Would recommend. this is going on my list of best restaurants!

    Espresso martini & corpse reviver cocktail
    Katie K.

    New menu is great - service was slow but friendly and they were a bit overwhelmed when we came early on a Saturday night. Loved our cocktails and the fish & chips - the fish had a light batter (reminded me of tempura) and the fries were delicious. We ordered the bang bang shrimp and were surprised it was more of a salad than a shrimp dish - it was good and had lots of avocado, my husband loved the round shrimp but I found the batter to be too thick. Definitely will be back to try more of the new menu soon!

    Connor is a genius! I told him I wanted a couple of n/a cocktails and that he could pick for me…read more(I'd like anything) or experiment on me. He chose the latter. OMG! Each used n/a spirits (n/a mezcal in the latter) and a symphony of sophisticated ingredients, which wish I tell you what. Each had a speared dried citrus slice and a luscious ginger bite (or something!) a top. The first had included honey, but it wasn't sweet--just complexified with a little snap to it that the honey smoothed; the second was a little sweeter in tone, including a bit of huckleberry along with the mezcal. (Connor might recall them by my play name for them. Inspired by a book in my hand on collecting meteorites, I nicknamed the first the "Extraterrestrial Visitor" and the second the "Heavenly Visitor.") They were so delicious I suggested he put them on the menu. If he does or doesn't, no matter. Just ask him if he has time to get creative for you. He'll ask you flavor tone preferences, or you can just go for whatever he wants to make, like I did. Again, he is excellent. I enjoyed my lovely drinks with a Caesar salad (another OMG!) which included crispy bacon bits and loads of tiny shreds of a delicious white cheese along with a creamy dressing. It was scrumptious as was the very lovely charcuterie plate. Pistachios, green apple slices, fat outstanding Castelvetrano olives (caution: with pits), a luscious pepper jelly that went beautifully dipped into with their choice of excellent crackers, delicately flavored salami and a prosciutto so elegantly-flavored it could make you weep. And it was lovely enjoying it all on their "porch" on a sunny day.

The place has potential but honestly disappointed. See photo below of the Hummus Platter. Really? Next came the "Baked Brie with Figs & Cherries" - which sounded delicious. No figs in sight - yes, a ramekin of baked brie with a bit of cherry in it, but... uninspired. We also ordered the Stuffed Potobello - and left most of it on the plate. Pros? It was close to our hotel, and has charming half-moon booths. Summary? Uninspired with potential.

    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.

It is the worse hard liquor I have ever bought. Lavender?? No, just some slightly amber gin that I can't even mix with anything. Whitley Niell makes a great Parma Lavender Gin that I first tried in a cocktail in Portsmouth UK. It isn't sold in Canada anymore unfortunately and was only for a short period. That was the reason I snapped up the Roots and Wings gin but I am resigned to using it for cleaning. I did try some of their other products and only the Abisnstine impressed me. I would have loved to have given a great review of their liquor but that wasn't possible. Drinking their cocktails is a different thing as they have a great mixologist. My advice- visit them, get a sample before buying, and buy only what tastes good to you. Everyone has different tastes.

I was the only there since it was 1pm on a Monday after all. Was about to grab to an Old Fashion after looking at their online menu, but was then told that they did flights so that's what I got. The flight; You choose six from a list of about 15. They do primarily vodka, but they do have some whiskey, gin, and even am Absinthe. I was very happy with all 6 and would order them again. I won't really go into any detail about each spirit since everyone has their own preference when it comes to alcohol. What I can say is that their Old Fashioned Spirit was my favorite. The service: The person working at the time was really friendly and helpful. Willing to answer questions about the spirits and make recommendations. The distillery: It's small and due to Covid Protocols they're only accepting 6 people in the building; however, they have a lot of outdoor space to enjoy. Their pick-up truck bar is the most eye catching so that's where we sat. I'd 100% come back here and if I lived in Langley I'd probably make this place one of my go to hangouts.

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!
