- BbobSeattle / Eastern Washington •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAlways have a very enjoyable meal when we go here. Look forward to coming back. The sunset dinners are a good value.More infoAnthony's - Squalicum Harbor BellinghamPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Bellingham•4.5
- SSallyVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •34 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoFood: wonderful and interesting. They do everything great from fish to meat to vegetables. The squash dish with a sort of sweet / savory / spicy topping was excellent. So was the black cod and the bavette steak. Pricing was as it would be for what they are serving, though Bellinghamsters are notoriously cheap when it comes to restaurants so we will see how Roe goes over. The service was excellent, good recommendations and attentive. The atmosphere was ok - the space has been lightened up with light furniture and walls, since the spaces last incarnation Ciao Thyme. I personally don’t care for that in a dinner setting, and ouch hard chairs! And not enough soft made for a loud space that could use some sound dampening, hence the less one star for ambiance. Definitely will go again.More infoRoePrice: Expensive• American• Bellingham•4.7
- RRicklandPortland / Oregon •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe liked the gem salad, rye bread, carrots, and duck confit. The mushroom dish was flavorful but heavier on lentils than mushrooms. The tuna in the crudo was a bit fishy. Overall a nice meal in B-ham. Cocktails nice though wine selection limited.More infoEstellePrice: Moderate • American• Bellingham•4.6
- RRobertSeattle / Eastern Washington •9 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWhile it "seems" expensive, in a way it's actually a bargain if you consider that many costlier restaurants don't serve food that is as good as Carnal. Flavor so good it becomes indelible in your memory.More infoCarnalPrice: Moderate• American• Bellingham•4.7
- LLeesaDenver / Colorado •5 reviews4.0Dined on 7 Dec 2024The 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!More infoSkylark's Hidden CafePrice: Moderate• American• Bellingham•4.7
