- OTOpenTable DinerSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur server was fantastic. We were a party of eight, some family and a close friend whom I hadn't seen in 20 or so years. We attempted to get together for lunch a year ago, but the late snow storm in Bellingham cancelled those plans. It took us almost a year to finally get together. The server was attentive but allowed us to catch up and enjoy our conversation. The.food arrived quickly after ordering and it was good based on how everyone pretty much cleaned up their plate. Overall, we were at the table for almost 3 hours, but the restaurant was largely empty due to it being slow time between lunch & dinner. I left a healthy tip as a way to thank the staff. Happy holidays!!More infoAnthony's - Squalicum Harbor BellinghamPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Bellingham•4.5

Skylark Cafe did not disappoint. We chose to start with elegant and simple salads and one of chose traditional turkey while I went with the holiday ham.
