    Vodka Soda

    The venue is gorgeous. Have stayed at the hotel before but didn't eat at the restaurant with so many nearby excellent options. Decided to have brunch on checkout and found the service to be excellent and friendly. The food is fresh and high quality. They pay attention to the ingredients and it shows. The melon salad with mint vinaigrette (no photo) and fried pancetta was remarkable. While I would normally only provide 4 stars for a venue like this, they exceed expectations given their location. Fantastic view, reasonable prices while delivering excellent quality and great staff.

    Strange Falafel!

    Go for the view, not the food. The patio is lovely - you'll see and hear the waves breaking on the shore, and if you're lucky, you'll see a ferry and train - a quintessential northwest scene. The food is another story. We expected more of the restaurant within the Chrysalis. The service was good, but the actual food? Don't bother. Actually the house salad was quite good- served with pecorino, shaved asparagus, pine nuts - and perfectly dressed. The falafel was another story - extra large balls with a hard exterior and gummy interior. Served with feta (why?), hummus, and waaaaay too much paprika. Call me a traditionalist, but smaller balls/patties with tahini would be a good place to start. Too much going on here... My friend said her crab cakes were "flavorless". Go for the view, maybe a glass of wine and the house salad...

    My child almost fell off of the pier because your food attracted a bird and my kids chased the bird off of the pier, but luckily I caught them!

    Stopped by on a whim and got seated right away. The food took about 20 minutes to arrive, but it was absolutely worth the wait--delicious! The place also has a nice view, which made the experience even better.

    Lovely Sunday lunch here! I got the fish tacos with clam chowder and both were scrumptious. We did not have a reservation so they sat us in the bar area which was perfectly fine. I would recommend a reservation. It was a beautiful view of the bay and our server was friendly.

    Have been wanting to try Keenan's for a while and finally got the chance to do so-- it did not disappoint! The service was incredible! What we ordered: - clam chowder: although a little salty, it was the perfect creaminess filled with an abundance of ingredients! Every bite was something new.. and it just paired so well with the cheesy bread the came along with it! - classic breakfast: your choice of 2 eggs, bread and protein with hash! it was very filling!! And honestly, can't go wrong with this options - breakfast omelette: just big enough of a portion, but slightly salty Inside was spacious and had many tables! Ask for a water view if you can to up the entire experience!!

    "Bahn mi" frozen meat substance  sandwich
    LJ R.

    Positives: best view in town from the deck. Server was very nice. Cons: food was terrible. Like, bad airport hotel food. Veggie sandwich was two thin slices of pre-cut mozzarella, one anemic tomato slice, a few spinach leaves, and 3 avocado slices n the driest, most cardboard-ish focaccia. Soup was essentially hot ginger water. Ew. But that all pales, literally, next to the "bahn mi" sandwich.... Four white (!) meatballs, obviously taken fresh from the freezer, and not fully warmed up. Honestly so bad, like beyond bad. Keenan's seems like a great place to have a drink and look at the sunset, but not ever again for food. Very disappointing cause this is supposed to be the special date night restaurant... nope.

    Fresh fish tacos, sunshine and water views. What could be better. The service was as outstanding as the food. Don't miss this location.

    CHICKEN BREAST This was amazing! Cooked to perfection! Tender and full of flavor!
    Kimberlee H.

    An amazing setting here on the Puget Sound! Compliments to the Chef and the whole staff for such a lovely and friendly experience! The food was spot on with flavor that was a step above and the portions were very nice. The specialty drinks are unique as well! Five star establishment in every aspect of professional service and rock'en the flavor food guys! We will be back!

    MAHI MAHI*

    The view is great. The food is okay... I ordered the seafood chowder to start, which was good but nothing special. I got the mahi mahi as an entree, which was disappointing. The "lemongrass rice" had absolutely no flavor, and was mushy. The broccolini was under-done, un-flavorful, and hard. The mahi mahi clearly didn't have any kind of spice or seasoning, it was just a piece of cooked fish, which was fine I guess. The mango salsa was good, but nothing special. My mom got the halibut which she said was incredibly dry. Our server was rather abrupt...she wasn't rude per se, she just seemed very rushed which would have been understandable if the place was packed, but we went early and seemed to be the only table she was serving. Ultimately, the experience was fine, but at a $45 per plate price tag, totally not worth it. I think they get their business based more on the quality of the shoreline than quality of the food.

    Most unappetizing "rosemary potatoes" that were burnt, mushy, overcooked and stale served next to underwhelming eggs Benedict

    Hi there, we are traveling from out of town and I saw you still require masks for guests? I just wanted to check and see if that was still accurate so we can be prepared.

    No masks required.

    Is it kid friendly? We have a two and a half year old who is pretty well behaved in restaurants but want to verify first!

    Yes. It is perfectly fine for kids in the non bar era of course.

    Is the 3-6 happy hour menu only available in the bar or can you order from it anywhere in the restaurant?

    Hi Megan! We serve happy hour every day from 3-6pm in the bar, Living Room and on the Terrace only. It is not served in the dining room, outside patio, or with room service. Hope that clarifies and that we see you soon!

    Do they sell gift cards?

    Yes, I believe Keenan's does have gift cards.

Most barcades will lock the patron in a singular experience exclusively and assume "this is what people want, right?" And while 1up knows that this is totally a valid part of a gamer's experience, they remember that sharing games with your friends is what makes gaming memories last. Thanks for creating the most unique and thoughtful space for really enjoying games and employing staff that understands that.

    I just love this place. They have something like 2500 games and every system from Atari to…read morePlaystation 4 and everything in between. So I can get my mario fix and check out some of the newer games. (Like the newest Tomb Raider on PS4!!!! Ahhh I love it!) This place is so nostalgic for me. One game I used to play a lot as a kid is Alex Kidd on sega. So much fun to play that and think of "the good 'ol days." They have happy hour everyday from 4-7. Which means the drinks (draft beer and a simple selection of liquor) are a bit cheaper and it is drink to play. If you don't want to drink it is $5 an hour for the first hour. Up to $15 for a day pass. Or $40 something for a month pass. Considering what you can get for that it is an amazing deal. They also have food. This is the only spot that made me consider not giving 5 stars, but I love this place even if they didn't have food. It was what I imagine all teenage boys eat while playing for hours in their basement. Frozen food they pop in a convection oven. And it is all nasty. However, I do watch people eating and they seem to enjoy it. Oh! This place is 18 and up after 8. They seem to be a bit easy on this rule, but just keep it in mind when you have a hankering to play some Mario at 9pm with a teenager. Lol

The dining room was elegant yet cozy, with great lighting. The staff was also very friendly and our waiter was very helpful in aiding our choice. We ordered the Focaccia bread, the salmon momtadito and the tonnarelli as our entree. The focaccia was the only dissapointing item as it was very basic in my opinion, which isn't bad but just nothing exciting to write about. The appetizer, the salmon montadito, was probably my favorite item of the night. It was served on focaccia bread and drizzled with a truffle honey butter and sat upon a mascarapone yogurt. It was elegant and it was incredibly flavorful. The sweetness of the truffle honey butter was a great contrast to the salmon itself, and all melted together to make an exceptional appetizer. The tonnarelli was a pasta dish we split and was also very tasty. The pasta itself was a thicker spaghetti like pasta served with plenty of crab. It was tasty and it satisfied and I'd likely order it again as I will be back when my sister's visit. All in all, a great restaurant to spend a nice night right in the heart of Bellingham!
