COA Mexican Eatery & Tequileria Bellingham 1065 E Sunset Dr, Bellingham Mexican • $$
1065 E Sunset Dr, Bellingham

“A friend took me there last week. I Had probably the best margarita ever, plus snacks. I wanted to bring my wife there yesterday but it was in a terribly hard to find location So I checked their web site, and it only mentioned their older locution, 30 miles south. So I called the older location (it's a family business, I think). That older location told me the new one didn't have a web site yet, even tough its been open for 5 months. They gave me the new own's phone number so I called it. I spoke to "the manager" and told her the new one didn't have a web sit. She said yes it did. She old me was wrong. I said I wasn't and she argued with me about it. Finally she said "look it up" which what was I had done. Their Bellingham location is death to any restaurant (at the end of a dead end road You'd have to drive past a Starbucks, a pizza joint, and Applebee's before you'd see this up ahead, at the dead end. Good luck, COA! I think you'll fail with that attitude and location.”

Nancy was great to work with and worked with our day-of coordinator to get the cake delivered to our outdoor wedding during the reception so that we didn't have to worry about the heat. Perfect cake!”

Five Columns Greek Restaurant 1301 E Maple St, Bellingham Greek • $$
1301 E Maple St, Bellingham

“Went here for my birthday with the family and it didn’t disappoint. We tried the Saganaki (fried cheese flamed at our table) for appetizer. And we decided to go with the Greek Platter for 2. This was a 3 course meal that was more than enough for me and wife and needed a box to bring home leftovers. The first course was one spanakopita and one tiropita. Both were tasty. Followed up with 2 small Greek salads paired with the house dressing that brought a nice balance and didn’t over power the salad. The main course was a HUGE platter of two dolmades, moussaka, Greek ribs and rice pilaf. These dolmades were delicious, the moussaka was seasoned, tasted amazing and held up well. And the Greek ribs was a first try for me. The meat was covered with a dry rub that is beyond flavorful and the meat was so tender. This was all served over rice pilaf that was moist Ended with night with a Greek special dessert. Coming to this restaurant for the first time we were well pleased. Will be back again for sure. Our waitress was attentive and helped us understand the menu. If you are looking for a place that puts love into their cooking. Look no further than Five Columns.”

We lucked out and got the french onion soup as our second course which was very well done. Our one disappointment was the stuffed portobello. Both the flavor and texture were off and it just felt a little mushy and not appetizing. The cocktails were fantastic and the pistachio ice cream paired with the espresso martini was absolutely decadent. I wish I could give 4.5 stars because my only complaint is the portabella dish, but otherwise it was a wonderful date night and I would highly recommend.”

“Great hidden wood-fired pizza place in the pocket of Fairhaven a few steps from Fairhaven Village Inn hotel and down the hill from the Village Bookstore.Cute sit down fast casual restaurant, relatively small place with around 15-20 tables with an additional semi covered seating area outside. If you have a party larger than 5, I suggest calling to see if there is an inside option available.We ordered the Matterhorn pizza 12” and full Kale Caesar Salad which was plenty of food for us (2 adults).The Matterhorn is a must get with cheesy béchamel, Gruyere, thin potatoes, caramelized onions, and slightly sausage on a smoky, crispy yet chewy crust. Definitely one of the best pizzas we’ve had ever and wish this place was closer to our home.The homemade lemonades are delicious, slightly more tart than sweet which we love and I personally liked the rosemary option to give the lemonade an herbal flare.The Kale Caesar has my favorite cheese, grana padano, an anchovy base Caesar dressing, and a couple of lemon slices. I’m a big fan of anchovy to give a little salty flavor to the dressing especially when paired with the acidity of the lemons. The salad is well balanced and light to complement the pizza.Our server was super sweet and excited that we tried her favorite menu items.Overall amazing dining experience. Next time we are in Fairhaven, we will definitely stop by!”

“I was the first person to be fired a few months after they opened over 30 years ago! I was one of original few people getting the place ready for the grand opening. At the time it was the only nonsmoking bar in town and that was a great draw. I remember the opening night quite well - before opening time there was a line up the stairs and within minutes the place was jam-packed until closing.The original owner was kind of a jerk (not just because I was fired!). I guess it's on the 3rd owner now. This was the first time I've been back since my inglorious departure about 30 years ago. This visit - 30 years later, my buddies and I had a great time over great brew and and grub (I had the elk burger). The server was great during our about 5 hours there. I would likely go back in fewer than 30 more years when I make my way back to Bham!”

“We arrived on time as we had reservations for an anniversary dinner. The host greeted us warmly then informed us that the dining room was quite full and loud, though the wine bar was less so. We opted for a table in the wine bar as it would be less noisy. Even so, it was difficult to hold a conversation over the din.We ordered the spring wine flight. She the red and I the white. The proffered offerings were quite nice. One on each flight worked as a pre dinner drink. The other was obviously meant to be paired with food.It was a bit rough.My dear one ordered the lasagna, which she described as quite buttery and delicious. While I myself had ordered the Sicilian lamb meat balls. The flavor of which was very complex and most enjoyable.The staff were attentive and pleasant.Parking: We expected that the restaurant lot would be full and we were correct. Street parking was available, though we did have to walk half a block. Be careful of the sidewalk if you chose this option as it is not even at the seams. posing a tripping hazard.Those of us with bad knees and hips, as we found out the hard way.

Polished design, very attentive service, unique menu (the right size for me as I don't like large menus) and every dish was delicious and integrated well together. The carrot dish was our favorite appetizer. Minor improvements would be to serve less sauce on all the entrees (duck, steak & fish) as the meat was cooked perfectly but overshadowed. Entrees were a little salty overall, but did not notice that on the appetizers. Definitely recommend and will be back!Dietary restrictions: Most of the dishes were gluten free which was great!”

We also had three rolls, the Spider Roll, Wild Thing, and the Super Tempura roll. All were very fresh and tasty. The fresh fish was melt in your mouth.

200 E Maple St #101, Bellingham

“This is one of the best Indian Restursunts I've found so far. Happen to stumble upon it on a walk with my partner, and I'm glad we sat down to eat. The food was amazing (had the coconut chicken curry), and the original naan was sooo buttery and delicious. I only wish the servings of the entrees were a bit bigger, but It was the highlight of my day. All in all, i am happy to find another place to eat. The man and the waitress were very nice, and I loved their personalities. Great place!”

“Swung by this joint for the first time during our Christmas break getaway with the wife and kiddos. Went for the BLT and wife got the chipotle black bean burger. Gotta say, we were both pretty impressed with the grub! Our kids both got fish and chips - it was so tasty that I had to snag a few fries for myself. Our server Alexander was super friendly and great with the kiddos. He let us know that Cyrus was the mastermind behind our burgers and he knocked it out of the park! Definitely bookmarking this spot for our next trip to Bellingham.”

Scotty Browns BLI 4255 Mitchell Way, Bellingham American • $$
4255 Mitchell Way, Bellingham

“Honestly really good food considering it's at an airport (super small one at that) and it's the only restaurant in here. Arrived at BLI and had to kill a couple hours before friends arrived (driving to Canada). Super friendly wait staff, and although the food is pricey, fairly tasty! The cauliflower appetizer was nice and crispy, seasoned well with a nice dipping sauce. We were recommended any of the chicken dishes, so we got the chicken salad and chicken sandwich. Salad was actually the favorite of everything! Only downside is the price, with an appetizer, two entrees, and two beers running close to $100 with tip. But if I'm ever flying through BLI again, will make a pit stop here!”

“Overall a good experience!This is exactly what you expect from a hibachi grill. The place was decently busy with multiple birthdays and my wait was still under 20 minutes before the chef was cooking in front of me. It seemed like they had 3 or 4 grills running at once.Parking: Descent size parking lot. Even fit my diesel truck with no issues.Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly. Fun family experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything seemed very wheelchair accessible. (I cannot speak for bathrooms)”

Skylarks Cafe 1308 11th St, Bellingham Cafe • $$
1308 11th St, Bellingham

“Everything we ate was just great! Spinach artichoke dip was quite a big portion and its meant for sharing between 3-4 people. The tuscan chicken had nice touch of spices, it was tender also creamy. The main star for us was their creamy garlic fettuccine and alfredo with prawns, it was to die for! One of the best pasta we ever had. The choice of cocktails also vary and overall decent.Ambience was nice, there was a live music, also the bartender was very friendly.”

“What a clean and well-organized Costco. From parking to check out, my wife and I had a great experience. Like other Costco stores, there are sample stations, a food court with cheap hot dogs, and boxes to put your groceries in. Every staff member we met was helpful, especially Shawn H.”

Jalapeños Fairhaven 1007 Harris Ave, Bellingham Mexican • $$
1007 Harris Ave, Bellingham

“We got takeout and the jalapeños in Fairhaven is exponentially better than any other jalapeños in the Bellingham area. I’ve had some pretty bad Mexican food in my life, and the waterfront Bellingham jalapeños is not a restaurant I would go back to. But the one in Fairhaven was incredible and a full 10 out of 10! The service and our experience with our servers at the door was lovely and the food we got was absolutely incredible!”

Zen Sushi & Bar 3001 Cinema Pl, Bellingham Sushi • $$
3001 Cinema Pl, Bellingham

“My grandchild was excited to try a sushi place with a conveyor belt. I was concerned when my friend recommended this place because of all the bad reviews, BUT we enjoyed the experience and the food. We went on a weeknight, so it was almost empty. Seated right away, and the waiter was friendly and helpful. Agree that there is no labelling of the items on the belt, but the waiter was more than happy to explain what the items were. We got several things off the belt in addition to a couple items off the menu. I don't know if this sushi is the best in town, but I do know we all enjoyed our food and the experience. It came to about $20 a person, and we were all satisfied, including the gluten free adult and the picky teen.”
