Best Fun Restaurants in Ferndale

We have dined at Carnal many times and we never leave disappointed in the food quality or the service. On rare occasions when restaurants are a bit slow everywhere, Carnal can be under staffed and service is understandably slow. But even then the service is always friendly and the food is delicious. As the menu changes periodically, to keep it fresh and fun, we can always find new things to keep our experience fresh. Based on previous visits we knew the pasta and the steak was good so we ordered that again. The half chicken was new to us so we decided to give that a try. We were surprised by how delicious it was.

We've dined at Estelle several times and the food continues to be excellent. Our 6 person table sampled all of the entrees, two of the salads and two of the sides. Everyone like everything! Cocktails are also excellent and the ambiance is warm and sophisticated. The only reason Estelle doesn't get 5 stars is because I'm a wine lover and their wine list is too limited and not as good as their food.

Appetizers are always great. Entrees are often interesting but sometimes miss the mark. Ambience is nice, and having fire pits is a cozy touch. Service is sooooo slow, though. Don’t come here in a hurry. It doesn’t matter if it’s busy or not - you will wait to get a menu, to order, to pay, to get a to go box, to get refills… it’s every time - otherwise, I’d give it a 5.

was a great experience at all. We go there not very often, but when we do it's always awesome.

The food was good. I would recommend the scallops And the salmon dip. Only problems with food were that the smaller pieces of bread that came with the salmon dip would break having had to much dip on it and the lemon was VERY sour, the most sour lemon I have ever had. But otherwise both of us loved our food and the waitress was great even though the kitchen was a little loud. If anyone we know comes to Bellingham we will recommend this place to them and come back if we can!
