“Awesome service, great food, fantastic cocktails, and a substantive wine list. Strongly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing! The food was hands down THE BEST My kids loved it wife and I loved it! Butter chicken was absolutely amazing, chicken biryani was amazing. 10/10 would return ANY TIME OF DAY”
“Their soups are a near-weekly staple throughout the winter. Very flavorful and tons of fresh vegetables. Over time we’ve expanded to try other things on the menu and it’s always excellent. Dishes that can be greasy at other places are not here and the ingredients seem a cut above. Super friendly folks, always immaculately clean; reliably one of our favorite places in town.”
“I have been here many times, through a few evolutions of three menu, and it hits every single time. Sometimes I just want to be full after a meal, that can be found anywhere - but when I want to feel good, satisfied, and truly fulfilled with a dining experience, Admiralty is where I go. The drinks are on point, and never disappoint. The service is top notch; the likes of which is harder and harder to find nowadays. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The only critique I could ever come up with would be that I want more items on the menu, only because I want to try every flavor they come up with. Keep doing what you’re doing Admiralty, and I’ll keep coming back!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“It's insane how good this place is and their "Second Breakfast" menu is to DIE FOR. Their food stands out amongst other restaurants' brunch/breakfast menu with their items like the savory Shakshuka and thick-cut french toast and I've never been somewhere else in town that does giant cut-fries that are flavored; such a fun experience! Menu Faves: Street Frites (Salt & Vinegar Flavor), Pretzel & Beer Cheese, French Toast w/ Berries & Cream, Farmers Cheese Pancakes, Shakshuka & Postmodern Breakfast Burrito (Bonus point for their delicious Bloody Mary Cocktail)”
“Their food is delicious. They have some traditional bbq items that are a staple for all bbq joints, but also have some unique sandwiches. Their buns are to-die-for, baked with rosemary. I could eat them all day. We brought a large group of about 20 for my husbands 30th birthday. No one had ever been. Everyone left happy. Thank you Big Stick BBQ!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. They're so good you gobble it down while at the same time savoring the crispness of the waffle, the just-right topping amount and how everything works together for the perfect bite! The Canadian Quesadilla and the pumpkin syrup build-your-own....shut. up. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Nate is the best host, too. Stop by.. You'll be very glad you did. Then tell 20 friends.”
“Came here for the first time today while I was waiting for my dad who was having a procedure. Not only was the food amazing but my server Joe aka my brother from another mother was amazing. He was above and beyond kind. Truly appreciated and unexpected. The service in general was great but Joe made my week! I will definitely be back🤗”
“This is THE BEST Vietnamese place in town. Love how accessible their menu is and the service is phenomenal. The duo that own the truck are the kindest people that run an incredibly efficient business. Service is phenomenal, they're great at remembering faces and the food is incredible to top it off. Vermicelli bowls and all options for Banh Mis are a fave for our crew, and their milk teas are TO DIE for. Also a shoutout to the Thai Iced Tea, which is delish. It's become a staple in my lunch routine for work (our whole office, too), and I often find myself getting them 4-5 a month! 1,000/10 recommend this spot!”
“My husband and I had Saltadena do our wedding cake this summer. The cake was absolutely delicious - there was NONE LEFT at the end of the night! And there was PLENTY made to go around, but I had friends telling me they had probably eaten three or four pieces! 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!”
“I give it a 3 out of 5. The food was wonderful. We got the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots and clam pasta dish. The place was very clean. the ONLY reason I cannot give this a place a 5 out of 5 is because the lady who was making looks like marscpone cheese at the front counter kept licking her fingers while making it ( I counted like 6 times in a 30 min wait time for food) then when they put the lid on the container they took thier finger and wiped off the excess and put it right in thier mouth and put it away. like i said the food was great ,but the whole time I got a whole show and it kinda ruined it for me especially since I drove over a hour to come to this place”

“This place is AWESOME! We recently went and dined as a large group (about 14 or so of us) and the staff was efficient and so kind and did amazing taking care of us. Their food and drinks are absolutely delicious, and we loved that there were loads of options for both our vegetarian and gluten-free diners! Definitely worth checking out and love that Bellingham is home to their new location! Menu Faves/Some of What We Enjoyed: Guacamole and chips, COA Fish Tacos, Tres Enchiladas, Burrito Loco, Chile Relleno, Fresco Salad Cocktail Faves: La Paloma, Fruit Margarita, Mazcalitas, Mojito Mexicano”

He catered our son's wedding last summer and everyone raved about the food. in fact the 1st people were wanting seconds before the last folks got through the line! Bry odd going a great job keeping his restaurant open during these challenging times! I hope people continue to support him!”

“The servers were very nice and attentive, the cocktails were good and well balanced.
My wedge salad was delicious, my wife had the burger and it had too much of a charcoal grilled/ smoky flavor neither of us liked. I rarely find a burger I don’t like but I couldn’t even finish it. Still added 5 stars since everything else was tasty and could just be our personal tastes.
Thank you!”

“The avocado toast is so flavored thematically if that means totally amazing; more is totally amazing too. This town is up the line of the Washington Bay; I assume it was made by a glacier melting as it was pushed in. In the Spring now there is more melting water current in the unfrozen air. This shop is a really nice place to get food and drinks that provide and charge. It's also got really classy honey drinks that could help pilots and sailors. The name is initiative in weather.”
“This neighborhood Westside pizza is delicious and service fantastic!
I pre ordered for pick up 2
Large Favorites; the Spicey Hawaiian, the Veggie and a medium cheese! All three were fresh and hot ready for pick up based on my specified time very appreciated! And even better they loaded with generous fresh toppings and perfect amount of cheese! The vibe inside and the employees friendly and helpful! An excellent, family friendly neighborhood pizza place and service can’t beat that!!
Thank you!!”
“There is something truly special about the Bistro at Shuksan. A scenic views and bold flavors such a perfect date spot in Bellingham that combines a relaxed, upscale atmosphere with food that actually packs a punch, The Bistro at Shuksan is it. The Fried Shrimp Po Boy were fried to a perfect golden crunch-light and airy, never greasy. For anyone who loves a bit of a heat Cajun Jambalaya, it was hearty, deeply seasoned, and loaded with authentic Cajun flavor. The ambiance at the Bistro is what really seals the deal. The view of the greens and the mountains really elevates the whole dining experience.”
“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.”
“I always have loved Olive Garden for some reason. Any state and store
But this is and was my wife and my Anniversary place to eat. We have long since moved away from Bellingham. But this was where those memories and special nights started. 20 years later we are still together and still love Olive Garden!”
“A hidden gem. They used to have a buffet, which I didn't like, but now everything is ordered fresh off the menu. The dish my wife ordered was too spicy for her, and the waiter insisted on replacing it with mild buttered chicken at no extra cost. The buttered chicken was excellent. If you like Indian food, give it a try.”
“JUXT is such a great spot in downtown. Always hosting fun events, conveniently located, phenomenal service, and their food/drinks are amazing. They've got a great list of craft cocktails and a delicious food menu, too. I especially love getting to enjoy a cocktail flight (either with a friend or solo) while hanging out before a show downtown. Menu Faves: House Fries, Poutine, Loaded Nachos, Falafel, JUXT Mac Cocktail Faves: Love Letter, Time Forgot, Eiffel 75, Bees Markel”
“Extremes was just steps from the Holiday Inn Express! Food was excellent and service from Ryan “Scooter” was amazing!!”
“Great, family friendly brewery with fun community events and local food trucks outside available for patrons to enjoy. Their beer and seltzer are delicious (with loads of fun options on tap) and their staff are incredible. Stemma consistently makes their mark as one of the best breweries in BHAM and is one of our all time favorites, for sure!”

“This McDonalds has an amazing morning crew. Every time I decide to get breakfast I have a kind drive thru attendant. I know McDonald’s is supposed to have the most formulaic impossible to make taste different food, but we all know some locations find a way to make things weird. This location always makes the food the way you crave it to be. I’ve been going here for a few months at this point and if I try a different location I always miss Samish Way. I hope the team gets a bonus or pizza party or whatever corporate can do. They work hard and make my day better.”
“D'Annas is AMAZING! Incredible Italian with a menu full of classic dishes that are sure to please everyone. Everything tastes like that perfect "made-from-scratch" taste that you love in Italian cooking and their pasta is DELISH! Plus, their desserts are SO GOOD and make for a great ending to your meal. A definite stop to make next time you're downtown. Menu Faves: Bruschetta, Puttanesca, Spaghetti Marinara, Chicken Parmesan, Gnocchi, Tiramisu, Cappuccino Cream Chocolate Mousse”
“Delicious food and drinks on a busy night. Service was excellent. I had the vegan wontons and my friend had the fried chicken boa. - both were beautiful and super delicious and beautiful . Plus, our cocktails were great. Did I mention the service was great! Highly recommend!”

“I know this is a shameless plug, but I just finished eating a beef meat pie from Holly's, and I have to write this: I just found Holly's Meat Pies and had my first pie from them. I can't say enough about how delicious my pasty was!!!! Thank YOU! 🙏🏻 The crust is absolute perfection – not too dry, not oily. Perfectly cooked. The pie stayed hot even though I drove home. Wow! I got the beef, and the filling was perfect. The balance of the spices, herbs, the quality of the meat, the vegetables and the onion was superior and absolutely perfectly balanced. This lady has skills!! The taste is wonderful. Holly gave me samples of Ty's Barbecue Sauce and Pasty Sauce !!! Yummmmm! I tested the barbecue sauce because I couldn't resist – I'll be back for at least one bottle and it won't last long. And the pasty sauce was fantastic. I'm buying a bottle. I had never heard of putting any kind of sauce on my pasty, but I'll put this on it! The thing about the pasty is it's so good without the sauce, but it's great with the sauce, too. I alternated bites lol. 😆 Since the pasty is neither dry nor greasy, it stands on its own so perfectly that I couldn't imagine putting the sauce on it – until I tried! It kicks the flavor up a notch. I bought a frozen Chicken pie for later, and I "liberated" several menus - this is going to become a habit!!!! Can't wait to try the Vegan pie (🥧 mushrooms!!), and the lamb pie and the entire menu! Feels like I found a culinary goldmine that's right up my alley. I feel so lucky that this is in Bellingham, and that I don't live too far from it because I will be a frequent visitor. And they are so friendly- great, wholesome, quick, affordable food!! What's not to love?! 💕 I also want to say hello to Holly and to Andrea who I met today and who were so friendly & knowledgeable. Smart women getting it done!! ✅ They answered every question I had. If you haven't tried this place, you've got to go and try it. This is the ultimate easy portable health food! Great with soup 🥣, salad 🥗 and Bordeaux!! My belly is happy 😊! What a therapeutic experience!!”

“Makeworth has made its mark on Bellingham as a fun communal space and coffee shop in town. They have a great menu of tasty breakfast items and roast their coffee beans amazingly.

Menu Faves: - Food: Cheddar & Egg Sandwich, Avocado Toast, Chocolate Croissant - Drinks: Mocha, Macchiato, Honey Lavender Latte, Honey Chai”
“The crew at Robeks are always fun, upbeat and friendly - even for the pre-workday morning crowd. They're one of my go-tos for a morning kickstart or a weekend lunch while running around doing home showings #realestatelife. Slightly addicted to the Peanut Power Plus, but it's fine 😂”
“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, very popular. but don't order a pizza! worst I ever had. should have taken more note of all the great reviews - not one about a great pizza. To be fair all the pasta dishes looked exceptional.”
“Just visited the Beachcat South Paw location in Bellingham today. GREAT location. Chill laid back vibes. And food trucks! Loved it!”

I have tried many GHB since, they are all good but none of them have made their Cinnamon bread quite as good hasBellinghams. I don’t know the secret. Please the husband owners are so nice and everyone is so friendly.”
“There i was, an inkling to rob upon my heart, when suddenly my eyes gaze upon a pink-haired employee. The legends were true. A Warrior of great might, deterring my criminal heart, Rustin gazes upon me, as if she knew. She nodded as if to accept my change of heart. In Rustin we trustin”

“Chicken sandwich was great. Except I don't do kimchi so I slid that off, I overlooked that on the menu, but the chicken was delicious. The Larabee Mexican dark lager is great.”

“What can I say? We went in for lunch expecting a typical pizza joint....were we ever mistaken. We ordered several appetizers to try as much as we could for lunch. Everything was elevated just that right amount. Calling this Sliced is doing the restaurant an injustice. We will definitely be back. Salads, brushetta, kids pasta, risotto, and meatball sliders were simply delicious. Looking forward to date night with my wife.”
“Love the garlic knots and hot honey on pepperoni pizza. Also the ranch dressing is my husband’s FAVORITE… usually enjoyed with a salad but sometimes just a side for dipping. Yummy”
“Fugaku has amazing sushi! So fresh and light. I read somewhere that their soy sauce is homeade and it shows, its so floral and delicious. I reccomend anything hamachi, its so good every time! Would love to go more often but it is quite pricey. However totally worth it as a splurge as the quality is superb”
“Grew up going here. Always quick and always good food. I remember as a child they even had someone dressed as Santa visiting tables and he gave me a Barbie. Pretty neat memory as a kid!”

“Lovely little place. The manager is SUUUPER nice. I don't drink so she made me a Moctail. It was amazing.”
“The Empty Bowls benefit was a huge success, thanks to the wonderful restaurants and bakeries who donated soup and bread. African Peanut soup and the Split Pea soup were crowd pleasers! Everyone enjoyed live music, picking out a local artist hand-made/thrown bowl, and eating delicious soup and bread. Thank you Colophon for supporting the essential work of @bellinghamfoodbank and @opportunity_council project Maple Alley Inn to fight hunger in our community.”
“We rented the upstairs this year for our company holiday party. Sydney helped us put together the menu and hosted with another couple awesome bartenders and servers, and they were totally accommodating to our group for the whole evening. It didn’t break the bank, the food and drinks were EXCELLENT, the room was beautifully decorated, and we had SUCH A GOOD TIME. Thanks to the whole Bantam crew for an awesome, enjoyable evening!”
“Best Stuffed Jalapenos we've ever had. We order from them often, the Irish Nachos are wonderful as well. I did order a drink with my order this evening and didn't come. Still wonderful food”

“This place is DELICIOUS! So many great appetizers, sushi rolls and of course, the ramen! Plus, they have great service and really take the time to take care of each patron in the restaurant.

“Hands down the best Thai food around the Bellingham area!!! I’ve been going to Maikham for a couple of years now and have never had anything but an amazing experience. The taste is incredible and their staff is awesome. Usanee, the head chef is very nice and personally makes sure you’re taken care of. I highly recommend!!!”
“The Souvlaki meal with pork, chicken or beef on a skewer seasoned, along with the rice that is the best rice I have tasted and the Greek salad that comes with it with the excellent dressing happens to be the best restaurant meal I have ever had. I have been coming here for the last 30 years to order that meal only when I am in town and it has always been consistently prepared the same way. I recommend that meal to anyone.”
“We love this restaurant. Authentic food made fresh by Korean chef. Highly recommend ! Enjoy”
“Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. This is one of my favorite spots for brunch or dinner. A true gem away from downtown for food and a date”
“We enjoyed a Jazz brunch today. The menu was well balanced and the food was amazing! We all had something different and each dish was perfectly prepared and served. The jazz music (piano) was subtle and beautifully executed. A great experience, highly recommended 5⭐️”
“It's a bar with pool tables that are a bit too close together. They allow people under 21 to eat and play pool. Until 8 or 9. It fills with college students as the evening goes on. We didn't see bad behavior or rudeness. Itsa chill dive bar that's good for hanging out. Rec canned or bottled drinks over mixed cocktails here.”
“Sai was amazing to work with even on a busy holiday night when they were slammed as one of the only restaurants open on town. Beautiful full color menu. Amazing range of options that everyone in our large multigenerational family can find something they like. Personal touch and kindness. Allgery accomodation was easy and no issues happened. Great response to any mistake or correction (one item missed an add on and they fixed it immediately). Clean and beautiful decor. Easy parking. We will go back for take out and next time try dining in :) hopefully the have no fragrances in the bathrooms.”

“This is the best restaurant I have been to here in Wilmington I am a chef of over 50 years and this food is Michelin Star quality”
“Went to Whole Foods on a Friday night to pick up some fresh desserts as well as some milk and fresh fruit for the morning. Also went back in the morning to get everything we needed which was a latte, breakfast sandwich, croissants and from the buffet some bacon and scrambled eggs. Hit the spot, it was delicious.”
“Food is always consistently good. Service is always quick and appropriate. This restaurant is always in my list of go tos in Bellingham. Little pricey, but what isn't nowadays.”
“Blue Fin offers the most beautifully prepared always fresh and delicious Japanese food. I have traveled to many countries including Japan and have never tasted better. The owners and staff are pleasant and helpful also. I really never order sushi etc. anyplace else.”
“The Cesar salad is incredible, their dressing is perfect! Asparagus was perfectly cooked, yellow potatoes were creamy... I did not care for my steak. It had an excellent char, however the menu said it is seasoned with an in-house blend but I could not taste anything, it wasnt even salted or peppered. It was cooked to my preference but was still very tough and I had a large piece of gristle that just didn't scream quality to me. I was quite disappointed about that but the wonderful service made up for it.”
“My wife and I made a Valentines Day trip to Bellingham. We had our dinner at Keenan's the food was excellent and the service was excellent also. They made it a memorable experience.”
“First ever time playing poker in a casino environment and it was amazing !!! As a younger lady its really hard to break through the ceiling most card spaces have, not only to play but even just to learn. I appreciate the dealers, staff, and security greatly and can’t wait to play again soon! ❤️🫶🎰”
“Consistent service and food. Great food! Also, throughout the years I've never had a server witn a bad attitude (they always seem happy to be there), and several of them were long term employees. They aren't super high end, but perfect for me and one of my go to places for lunch.”
“I always enjoy my experience at On Rice Thai. The owners provide an exceptional customer experience and are attentive. The dishes are rich in flavor and blend authentic elements together. One of my favorite new dishes is Khao Moo Dang, which is a BBQ pork fried rice with hard boiled egg and cucumber. The sauce is nice and sweet, but it is balanced with a hot sesame oil with jalapeno. I always look forward to new menu items and the great overall experience! Thanks Ann and Robert!!”
“Delicious Food and Cocktails: Tried an Espresso Martini, Arancini Balls and the Chocolate Royale for dessert 🍨”

“went there for some drinks after work and the staff there was super friendly”
“We had dinner the 9.99 meals. Service was lacking. Our grandsons burger was burnt and so was the bun. Our server (Zee) didn't check on us after we got the food nor could we find her to explain the burnt burger. She never asked about refills on drinks which was needed. She did show to remove baskets and give bill.”
“Best fish and chips I've ever had! Perfect beautiful views ! Highly recommended!”
“We wanted to grab a bite after our movie and it seems like everyone else in the theatre had the same idea. The service was so quick, the drinks were perfect, and the waitress was so helpful (thank you for recommending that Chicken Bruschetta pizza).
They even offered to stay open later so we could wait for our Uber.
I'm not the type to write reviews.... but this place truly deserves it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great spot to unwind after a movie.”
“Yes it's always super busy but of course it is, it's the only one in like a 400 mile radius! The service is good, the food is delicious, and obviously we're all going for their rolls... Be patient and you'll have a great time.”
“This is a chain pizza restaurant. What makes me most happy is that there are two girls wearing glasses here. They are friendly, gentle and kind. I like their service very much!”
“I love Jalapeños. We go on Tuesdays. It is always a really good time. I truly appreciate the staff. Antonio is amazing. The drinks are fabulous and the food is delicious. There is a beautiful view of the water from the outdoor seating area. Sometimes there are seals and sea lions, cool birds are every day. Jalapeños is a really great place for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend that you visit this restaurant. So good.”
“Mount Bakery never fails to disappoint with their delish pastries (especially the croissants) and baller breakfast items. Definitely a BHAM staple and love that they have locations in both the Downtown and Fairhaven parts of town. Definitely recommend this local spot!”
“The waiter was extremely friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back here in the future.”

“Oh! My! Goodness! Their holiday menu is just pure perfection. The ladies here are always the nicest people, always putting a smile on my face. I wasn't a big coffee drinker until more recently, so I don't get all the coffee lingo, but these girls always get what I'm trying to say. Such an odd, little location but it works. Wish they were open later into the day just so I could drive out and grab a coffee after school.”
“I had my brows done here recently and I’m honestly blown away. As a redhead, I’ve always been cautious about trusting someone with brow color, but she understood exactly what would look natural with my hair and skin tone. The results are beautiful — soft, natural, and perfectly shaped. On top of that, the whole experience was professional, comfortable, and thoughtful from start to finish. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. I’m so grateful I found her!”
“I took my first bite and thought, " S**** I'm sharing. " yes, they're great for sharing, but you won't want to. They're so good you gobble it down while at the same time savoring the crispness of the waffle, the just-right topping amount and how everything works together for the perfect bite! The Canadian Quesadilla and the pumpkin syrup build-your-own....shut. up. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Nate is the best host, too. Stop by.. You'll be very glad you did. Then tell 20 friends.”

“Mallard is THE Bellingham ice cream shop. Always mixing up fun, funky flavors in addition to classics and such a fun atmosphere to enjoy. Their staff always rocks AND they even have a fridge full of pints of their ice cream available for purchase. Plus, they're consistently creating fun collaborations with other local businesses in the area, most notably, collabs with dessert shops that bring in their dynamic flavors to match Mallard's. Menu Faves: Super Chocolate, Mint Oreo, Coconut Chocolate Chunk with Almonds, Tony's Cold Crew (Gluten-Free), Cookies & Coconut (Gluten-Free/Vegan)”
“Can't speak highly enough about this place and the people that run it. We had them cater our wedding and everything was absolutely fantastic. They were timely and the food was hot and delicious. They were also so incredibly friendly and helpful. We could not be happier. Everyone at the wedding complimented on how good the food and service was. I would highly recommend them for catering or even just for a great meal!”
“Came here for the first time today while I was waiting for my dad who was having a procedure. Not only was the food amazing but my server Joe aka my brother from another mother was amazing. He was above and beyond kind. Truly appreciated and unexpected. The service in general was great but Joe made my week! I will definitely be back🤗”

“This was an acilc8dent pearl just put and about and enjoyed it twice in a week. The pizzas are well done and the Indian drink (I had Mango) is delicious. I have had their butter pizza and tandoori pizza. Both delicious and the small size, 6 slices was great. I just and sat and chatted with the owner for nearly 30 min. Just really amazing people and a great pizza fusion place.”
“Fresh fresh fresh! We were greeted immediately with a duo of home made hot sauces to go with our meal. Tortillas are made in house and have the perfect texture to accommodate the rest of the meal. Service was insanely friendly and attentive to every need we had and any we didnt know we had. Authentic to the core, including hospitality!”
“Share tea… it’s one of the best boba shops in Bellingham if not the best (my opinion) very friendly staff and I’ve never had a bad experience here. The owners are very hardworking people and kind. Whenever I’m in there the workers always are happy to be there.
It’s a very well decorated place too, I usually enjoy sitting and playing cards with friends/family while sipping my drink. It’s a nice little cafe with a very extensive delicious menu
Some of the drinks can be a little expensive
But those are Bellingham prices”
“Bryson Filipino is a wonderful addition to our restaurant community in Bellingham! He catered our son's wedding last summer and everyone raved about the food. in fact the 1st people were wanting seconds before the last folks got through the line! Bry odd going a great job keeping his restaurant open during these challenging times! I hope people continue to support him!”
“LakeLine is awesome! Great atmosphere, super cozy and lots of great food and drink items on the menu. Everything we tried was delicious and the dill pickle dip, while creamier than we thought it was going to be, was a fun and super tasty dip. Also love that it's the neighborhood cafe for Silver Beach residents! Faves on the menu: Matcha latte, dill pickle dip, burrata & chimichurri sandwich, tuna melt (on both GF and regular bread) & chopped salad! Will definitely be back!”
“The Den is by far my new favorite bar in town! The vibe fits pretty much any need you might have: want to catch a game in a non-obnoxious sports bar? Want to grab a couple drinks and catch up with a friend, play some games at the couches, or just sit at a table? The Den has it all. Old video games, comfy couches, privacy, friendly staff. The vibe is well curated without feeling forced, you can tell the bar was designed with love and comfort in mind. Our usual bartender, Nathaniel, always has our drinks ready right when we walk in, is attentive and welcoming. And trivia at The Den is some of the best organized games in town, no confusing rules or lame questions - Craig always keeps it fresh and fun. We love it here, and I think you will too!”
