The Vault Wine Bar - Bistro & Event Space

Hands down my favorite restaurant in all of Whatcom County! The food is phenomenal and the amount of local places they source ingredients from is impressive. They have an incredible selection of wines and all of the food I’ve eaten here is to die for. It’s the perfect spot for birthdays, anniversaries, Sunday brunch, or just a really yummy meal. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our experience here! We arrived with a party of 9, 2 hours before closing on a Sunday. Even though there was a mostly full house and only 2 people serving, including the owner, they were so attentive and kind. We really appreciated their service and great attitude as they effortlessly managed the busy afternoon. Thanks so much! We will definitely be back again!

Dined in for the first time for our 5 year anniversary. We had the best time and the live music was a treat, especially the owner, Alan hopping in on trombone. Everything from the vibes , service and food were excellent. Great happy hour menu too! We loved the burrata salad, octopus hash and that might have been the best, juiciest burger I’ve ever had. We will be back!

Took the family here while we were visiting Blaine for the weekend and we’re blown away with The Vault. The wine list was extensive, the tasting flights were excellent, and the food was absolutely outstanding. We both had the black cod and it was one of the best cooked fish dishes I’ve had eating out. We also had miso snap peas, the clams, and the meats/cheese plate and everything was delicious. The owner was friendly and though the service was a bit slow and the staff we let still learning about wines, we loved every minute. When your kid says “best restaurant ever” what else can you ask for?

Celebrated our 11th anniversary with dinner and drinks at The Vault. It was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, so courteous and attentive. We had the watermelon feta salad, black cod and mushroom pasta. The watermelon feta was really good. The mushrooms in the two mains were a little overpowering with their char but beyond that the entrees were so delicious. The drinks were on point and just plain heaven in glass. We will absolutely be coming back again.

Went here for trivia night, lots of fun!

Excellent small plates that my partner and I shared, a phenomenal wine list to choose from, and super friendly service. We made a day trip from Bellingham to check this spot out and we keep talking about how we need to go back! I highly recommend, and totally worth the drive if you don't live in Blaine!

Great food, Kitchen is a win, but portion size could improve. Wines are great too, but service is sub standard after many visits, and the owner is often drinking & eating vs making sure customers are the focus. If service could be tightened up, it’s closer to 4.5 stars.

Everything was outstanding! We had the potato carrot soup that was creamy, flavorful and so elegantly served. We also had "Tea for Two" cocktails that had several flavors going on but EACH flavor was so perfectly paired, one did not over power the other, they were well balanced. The drink made for a pleasant treat to sip on.The servers all had a genuine smile and kindness to them and made sure we were taken care of.Lastly, the atmosphere was perfect! Somewhat dim lighting and decor made for a warm, cozy feel while still feeling very clean and airy.Thank you all for the wonderful work you do! You can tell there is a lot of love and passion put into this place. ?
