I made numerous attempts to contact the business by phone, email, and text to obtain an update and after several day/ weeks, I later requested cancellation. I never received a response.

They happily put the game on when we asked and were very attentive throughout our visit, which made a great first impression. I ordered the burger with bacon and blue cheese and requested no condiments. I think there may have been some confusion in the kitchen, as the garnishes were left off as well, but our server promptly brought them out when asked. Unfortunately, the burger itself was overcooked and lacked flavor. The ciabatta roll was only partially toasted, and overall the dish fell a bit flat. The fries, however, were excellent hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious. I don't usually like coated fries, but these were a home run. My dining partner ordered the BLT and said the sandwich was great overall. We also shared the mozzarella sticks appetizer. They were a bit different from traditional mozzarella sticks, thicker cheese with a heavier breading. While they were good, I felt the order should have included six instead of four. Overall, even though we were one of only two tables in the restaurant, we had a great lunch, thanks largely to the excellent service.

The dining room was elegant yet cozy, with great lighting. The staff was also very friendly and our waiter was very helpful in aiding our choice. We ordered the Focaccia bread, the salmon momtadito and the tonnarelli as our entree. The focaccia was the only dissapointing item as it was very basic in my opinion, which isn't bad but just nothing exciting to write about. The appetizer, the salmon montadito, was probably my favorite item of the night. It was served on focaccia bread and drizzled with a truffle honey butter and sat upon a mascarapone yogurt. It was elegant and it was incredibly flavorful. The sweetness of the truffle honey butter was a great contrast to the salmon itself, and all melted together to make an exceptional appetizer. The tonnarelli was a pasta dish we split and was also very tasty. The pasta itself was a thicker spaghetti like pasta served with plenty of crab. It was tasty and it satisfied and I'd likely order it again as I will be back when my sister's visit. All in all, a great restaurant to spend a nice night right in the heart of Bellingham!

This evening we went to Roe for a family dinner. Hidden on the edge of downtown Bellingham this…read morehidden spot serves up creative seafood dishes using all farm to table ingredients. We came in for an early dinner so we were really able to enjoy the rustic ambience of this restaurant all by ourselves. As soon as we sat down the waitress was attentive and ready to take our order. I order the garden party off their cocktail menu. Snap pea gin, bay leaf vermouth, genepy, saline and pea shoot? I really was feeling adventurous with this one, a regrettable mistake. The first sip I thought I was drinking sea water with a touch of olive oil in it. I never send back drinks although I was close with this one, I sipped it throughout my meal. One critique I have about the cocktail menu is that every drink was over complicated with many exotic ingredients. There was nothing for someone who was looking for a simple craft cocktail. The table shared the Strawberry Panzanella, and once again I was accosted by an overwhelming salty and sour flavor. A traditional Italian salad consisting of grilled strawberry and focaccia croutons. The lemon vinaigrette dressing on this salad was salty and sour, and very overpowering. Unlike my drink we were unable to finish this one. I ordered the Roe Burger, which I had been really looking forward to trying, thankfully this one did not disappoint. Two smash burger patties that were thin, crispy, and cooked to perfection with slices of cheddar cheese on top are then placed on a bed of classic burger toppings. Tomato, pickles, and iceberg lettuce. This burger was served with crispy fries and garlic aioli. After my fist few bites my mind was beginning to change about this restaurant. We also shared the Reuben Croquettes. A super creative and unique spin on one of my personal favorite appetizers. These little fried pocket were filled with a delicious mixture of cheese and shredded corned beef. They were garnished with a small slice of pickle which was a great touch. For dessert we decided to try the hazelnut torte which was fantastic. It had a nice crisp outer layer with a soft gooey center. Lovely flavor and texture that ended our experience at Roe wonderfully. In conclusion our experience at Roe had its ups and downs but I left feeling satisfied. If you are looking for a unique culinary experience I would give this restaurant a try.

I'm especially fond of the blackberry-flavored flax oil emulsion, but also the peach and mango-flavored fish oil emulsion. Great, cost effective way to get high quality Omega 3 fatty acids into one's diet sans the strong smell and taste of fish. (Flax and borage oil? Both can be equally unpleasant minus any attempt at flavoring agents, natural or otherwise.) I know that a longtime friend who lives in Washington routinely buys all her littleneck and Manila clams fresh from Barlean's, but I (a humble Okie) can only find Barlean's Omega 3 emulsions at Sprouts.

Finished off with a tiramisu, which had rich flavor. Looking forward to the next time! Our server was attentive, but not too much. We sat outside, which was quite pleasant.

Arrived during the hottest day of the year so far to find a nice cool, clean, classy interior. Was immediately greeted by a friendly hostess who seated me immediately. Restaurant was moderately quiet. Water and menu obtained, I perused the choices and decided Pizza was the thing. The pizza prices were a bit on the high side for a franchise place but the descriptions were promising with some interesting ingredients. Then I spotted it on the bottom of the menu...the Fig Pig. How could I not try it! About 15 minutes later it arrived, I took the first bite and Oh My Lord...when they redo the menu, it needs to be at the top. This is my new favorite pizza in Bellingham. Salty, crispy, meaty and sweet. It hits all the hot buttons. The crust is actually tasty, the pork is perfectly done. It was freaking delicious. Even better, once I finished half the pizza...it was that good...and a box and the check were delivered...the pizza was half off. I called the hostess over to ask if it was a mistake and she said all pizzas are half off on Tuesdays. I now know my Tuesday dinners. I've told a bunch of people now and will be taking my neighbors next Tuesday. Oh and turns out it's not a franchise but a family run restaurant.and it was staring me in the face the entire time.

She recommended the Greek pizza--omg! Perfect choice! I admit I do like salty, and some people might have found it so--I thought it was flavorful and perfect. Exquisite, really. I really liked the Caesar salad. It doesn't come across as very fancy as it does in other places, more high-end, but the flavor of the dressing is pungently perfect and I thought puts many I've had to shame. Pleasant place overall. I'm really glad for that one day when I walked across the Bellis Fair parking lot and tried it out.

I couldn't determine what it was, but I would order it again. The bowl of clam chowder was very generous and again "unusual". Plenty of clams and thyme. I would order it again. I went to the bar to request another beer and buy some pull tabs. I noticed the wall of pull tabs was entirely covered with Christmas decorations. When asked, Yonzo informed me that the new owner had not yet completed the process to offer pull tabs. Apparently, a new owner arrived in April of this year (2024). It was interesting to note that the entire place looked to be cleaner, with a very upbeat and friendly atmosphere. In all, we enjoyed the food and had a great time in the "new" tavern.

So we all met up for a lovely dinner here and the entire experience was fabulous. From our incredibly attentive (and very patient) server to wonderful drinks and tasty food, everything was top notch. We had a reservation (which you can do directly through their website - yay!) and had a couple of minutes to watch the chefs work their magic in the open air kitchen while we waited to be seated. Our server arrived quickly and took our drink orders, then gave us plenty of time (at our request) to enjoy our bevvies and each others company before returning to take our dinner orders. In the meantime, he kept the baskets of their delish butter-and-garlic-imbibed bread coming. Soon, dinner was before us. The Dude and I shared a rotisserie chicken cobb salad and a shrimp appy. Both were fabulous. The rotisserie chicken is smoked and prepped in house, and it was a more than generous portion. The shrimp was good, too, and we topped off the meal with creme brulee. My parents enjoyed their salads, and my son said his burger was quite tasty. We were also impressed that they had locally-brewed Kulshan Bastard Kat on tap.

The Matthews Cabernet - which is sold at the winery for $50 / bottle - was $48 at the restaurant, and the Orin Swift Papillon - which retails for $90 - was $80 at the restaurant, and they serve the wine with good quality Riedel glassware. The Burrata Peach Salad and Gems Salad were both delicious. A couple of the fresh oysters were a bit mushy. The Pan Seared Lamb Chops were cooked just right (medium rare) and the pickled blackberries offered an interesting twist. I'm told the Hamburger and French Dip were also very good.

Hmmm...where to start?…read more The LH B&G is one of the more expensive spots in town, and we've not been for over a year. This was our 33rd anniversary meal, and I'm fairly certain we'll be eating elsewhere for our 34th. The drinks were decent, so no complaints there. The bread used to be complimentary and served upon being seated - no more. That's now a $6 starter. The salads/chowder were delivered promptly and were quite good. Things went downhill from there. They were not busy at all and it was well over 45 minutes before we were served our entrees. The salmon was decent, but you had to get past everything else to even taste it - too much seasoning, pickled blackberries, and a blackberry sauce that drown out the salmon itself. The cod was also decent, though the brown rice served under it was wildly undercooked (pretty sure rice isn't supposed to crunch). Serving sizes were also small for the price, as others have noted. We're not generally ones to send food back, so we endured. Dessert was also a let down - banana cheesecake was very bland, and who puts some sort of berry flavored sauce under apple pie?? Our server was nice, so no issues there. But when spending $250 on a dinner for 2 the expectations around the food are somewhat higher than "meh". We might go sit in the bar for a cocktail and a snack, but as for a higher end evening/meal out the LH B&G has unfortunately fallen off of our list of possible options.
