Best Casual Restaurants in Bellingham

One of the best restaurants we've been to in the Pacific Northwest recently. The interior has a really cool, artsy vibe and the service was excellent, providing menu selection tips and recommendations. The focaccia with mortadella, mozzarella, alfredo, and parm could've been a dessert it was so yummy. The ricotta gnocchi was also delightful but their black cod stole the show with serrano ham, mussels, chiogga beets and broth -- who knew that combo of ingredients would taste and look so good!

Amazing. Cocktails Apple Gala so delicious! I am not a brandy person, but I decided to try it and boy. I’m glad I did. Steak hash surpassed expectations. The soup was amazing a Florentine with potato. Pork sliders also a big hit. Wonderful place for a friendly brunch or a date. Thanks!

Initially seated next to a door allowing staff to service customers on an outdoor patio. When door open we were confronted by a blast of very cold air. Were not relocated, despite available seating away from door, until well into the meal. Food, overall good. Service, fairly good, we had to move our own beverage classes and appetizer to relocated table. (But at least we were away from door.) Ambiance was ok. Another customer had to deal with a broken chair.

Great ambiance, relaxed, comfortable, upscale. Delightful live music. Great service. Our Manhattans were some of the best we have had. The wine (Willamette Pinot) was delicious and went well with the excellent duck confit (vegetables extra). Desert (chocolate moose) seemed like an afterthought. Ok but not up to the caliber of the rest of the meal. Expensive but reasonable value considering although I would have preferred that vegetables were included with the entre. Will go again I am sure.

The Loft has consistently good food and service. We had the fish and chips and the Cajun Mac and cheese. Has a good spice level but a bit thick. Plenty to take home leftovers.
