Boundary Bay Brewery

Setting the Stage
Anne was up visiting me on Samish and we were seeking an adventure on a Saturday evening after vising my family on Guemes for the twins' 6th birthday. Anne had not yet spent too much time in Bellingham, so that destination sounded like a priority. We drove from Anacortes up Chuckanut Drive while discussing the Bellingham "brewery scene". Anne research online and found lists (Aslan was mentioned a lot). After further discussion I talked her into Boundary Bay Brewery, an old favorite that's been there since 1995, which was my freshman year at Western.
We ran into Scott Ritchie while we waited. We were given a corner table that was quite nice but hard to hear given loud music and some form of echo.
Place
Nice place. Would go back. Vibrant and happening. They had Irish dancers the night we were there; was fun.
Service
Our service was definitely amiss but it should be forgiven. College kid?
Vibe
Good vibe.
Food
Appetizers
Salmon chowder
Roll
Looked good, didn't eat. Came with a little ball of butter which looked good.
Amount
Quite small.
Was tasty. Enjoyed. Nice little potatoes cubes in there.
Clam chowder
"Very good," said Anne.
Caesar Salad
Really good according to Anne. Nice shaved parmesan.
"Really good. Anthony's is slightly better, though."
French dip
Big bread.
Small jus cup.
Low flavor. Bland and dry. Some pepperiness.
Skewers
Blue frills.
Side salad
Looks good.
Good dressing. Nice greens. Fresh.
Jus
Flavor meh. Pretty weak.
Size
Too small.
Sandwich
Dry.
Meat
Dry.
Cheese
Meh.
Onions
Nice to have this as a selection but I don't think they added anything.
Bread
Too much. Sourdough? Seems like high quality bread but wasn't toasted to my liking and was just too much volume, I thought, for the sandwich.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Anne said good.
Beverages
Beer
Came in small glasses, not pints.
Scotch Ale
Perhaps too sweet for me.
Blonde
Was fine.
