9 At North Bellingham Golf Course

Staff was great! Very attentive, and brought us delicious burgers and fries!

Finished a round of golf, took my wife along for a ride in the golf cart since she was on vacation and I bragged about the great food at the restaurant. We were told at 740 that they were no longer serving food for the night. Quite disappointing. I thought it was open until 830...

I love this golf course but the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. The head chef kept hitting on my girlfriend. Very inappropriate

If you enjoy delicious food 9 restaurant delivers perfection! You will not be disappointed with the exceptional service, quality and brilliance served here! I highly recommend this restaurant!! I would like to send 9 restaurant my gratitude and appreciation, for hiring incredible chefs! Outstanding!!!

After meeting Chef Nick Haus recently in association with the Bellingham Northwest Wine Festival, we decided to try out the cafe for lunch and cocktails. Greatly disappointing. It's really not a restaurant per se. You place your order at a tiny counter, pay and they bring the items to you. It's a practical solution when you can't afford a lot of employees, but I have seen it done with more class and finesse than experienced here. The cocktails were terrible. We didn't want anything very complicated, just simple martinis and a basil-whiskey drink Nick had made. So, the most common drink in the world and a supposed house specialty, but the person who took our order clearly has no understanding of even the most basic bartending. The gin martinis on the rocks with lemon came neat with olives. When we pointed out the error, they came back on ice--but with olives AND lemon. An Old Fashioned was the strangest version of that drink ever. Yes we could overlook that and we did, but what's the point of having such an extensive list if the servers can't make drinks? The food part of our meal didn't go much better. Actually, the bacon-bleu burger was quite tasty, and the buns they use are unusually excellent, but the two burgers ordered without sauce came lathered with it and had to be sent back. And the chicken-jalapeno burger was a disappointment. The chicken was less than 1/4 thick and tasted only of the breading, and there weren't any jalapenos! And there's not much atmosphere. The other patrons were obviously golfers. A big screen TV played some old golf tournament, and the room is so small that non-golfers are bound to feel like trespassers in someone else's world--we certainly did. I understand the winemaker dinners are very good here, and I look forward to attending one some day (quite into wine, are we). But I won't return for lunch.
