An understated storefront hides a coveted skyline view—just one of the many ways you could underestimate this longtime cafe on Mount Baker’s main drag. The menu, the sign—even the name—are a bit of a throwback, but current owners Guy Devillier and David Hoefer took over in 2018 and keep things attuned to today. Carbonara packs more nuance than you might expect, the slightly crackly pizza’s better than it has to be, and the bar pours lambrusco and negroni. No wonder tables are loaded with a diversity of diners.

We did the Fairmont at home dinner for Christmas special. The food was delicious. We ordered for 2-4 people and had enough food for 6-8 Definitely a good option for someone interested in hosting a thanksgiving dinner but shy about the cooking.

This was our first time here and we enjoyed the pizza. I think their deep dish had a very good crust and the cheese/sauce were both good as well as the ratio of the two. I found it odd that the build your own topping prices were significantly higher than the equivalent prices of their offered combos. Overall a good night out.

This place is great. The seafood is fantastic. Slightly touristy and right on the beaten path? Yeah, but there's a reason everybody eats here. Service was great too.
