“We celebrated our anniversary at Estelle and it was wonderful. Every dish was both visually appealing and absolutely delicious. We had a few cocktails, Imperial City and Barefoot Bandit both had a great combination of interesting, unique flavors. The snap pea salad was great, crispy and fresh with the candied walnut adding great flavor. Both the chicken liver mouse and the steak tartar were rich and exquisite served with delicious sourdough bread. The duck confit with watercress salad was spectacular. The hanger steak frites was good. We would definitely highly recommend this restaurant.“

“This new little cute place is now my go to favorite for interesting cocktails and an amazingly sophisticated menu for such a petite place! As a vegetarian, I found many delicious options and had a hard time choosing! That means I can come back over and over and try them all! The decor is artistic, reminiscent of an English pub but so much more. The downstairs has a vibrant neighborhood pub atmosphere, there is a covered parklette seating area outside, and my favorite aspect of this place is the parlor like feel of the upstairs space! I will be coming back either before or after a film at the Pickford Film Center regularly! Thanks for opening such a creative and unique space in Bellingham!“

Also, they have a baller cocktail menu and the crew there is always so welcoming and fun to visit with. 10/10!“

“We made a reservation when we came here and I’m glad that we did on a Friday night at 5 PM. When we got here there weren’t that many people here and we figured oh this place isn’t that busy but the place began to fill up rapidly glad we made a reservation, we got the truffle cheese bread as an appetizer it was divine and the brussels sprouts there’s plenty of parking across thestreet which is paid street parking. the staff is exceptionally nice and getting oven baked pizza is unique and very delicious and makes the bread very crisp. We end up getting some drinks which they have an open bar beer and cider but not too many choices but just enough to have a little of each, I would definitely recommend this place if you’re ever in Fairhaven.

Vegetarian options: You could make almost anything here vegetarian

Parking: There’s plenty of street parking“

Definitely will be coming back with family/friends for burgers and onion rings in the near future, I just hope whoever cooked that night doesn’t stop cooking that good. I couldn’t stop eating the onion rings. Our server was very good, friendly, attentive and the atmosphere was just very pleasant“

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.“
