Carnal focuses on the bold flavors of wood fire and caramelization balanced with acidic, raw, and seasonal elements. We are a passionate group of cooks who do not cut corners and hope that is evident when you try our food. Our signature dish is a bone-in beef rib that is sous-vide before grilling over an open wood fire and finished with rendered bone-marrow. We source many of our ingredients from local farms and fisheries.

We are a high-low, fine-casual concept making simple, seasonal American cuisine inspired by the culinary traditions of Italy, France, & Spain. Expect to see dishes that you are used to seeing at fancy restaurants & some you would typically find at a drive-thru or dive bar. but they all are served on a plate from Goodwill. Our menus are ever-changing, not just by the season but by the day. we embrace change, creativity & inspiration every chance we get.For groups of 2 people, we recommend ordering 4-6 dishes from the three sections of the menu (depending on how hungry you are!). for example - 2 snacks, 1 small share plate, & 1 large share plate.The food is designed to be enjoyed family-style. As such, your food will be coursed out as we see fit. for groups ordering individually, we will do our best to get your order out all at once, but you may experience some slightly longer wait times.We can’t wait to see you!

    We were in Bellingham and decided to try Anthony’s. The setting and restaurant are beautiful. The menu was large enough to have something for everyone. Our server was friendly and informative. The food and presentation were excellent. It is worth a visit if you are in the area.

    By far the best dining experience! My husband & I have come here twice and loved every minute of it both times. I love that they have such a great selection of N/A beverages as well as cocktails & wine. Their food flavors are outstanding and super creative! Nothing was on the menu that we didn’t want to order. We had the steak and then pesto pasta both dishes were incredible. Steak cooked to perfection and then pesto sauces on both dishes were top notch. We don’t live in Bellingham but every time we visit I always want to come here.

    Up for a visit and we stayed at The Leo Hotel. Enjoyed both a late night bite and drinks with family at Amendment 21. And next day Jazz brunch to celebrate birthdays in our group. The food and drinks were amazing. Lite jazz playing in the background made for a totally wonderful time and we will be back.

    The service was impeccable! Our server, an amiable young fellow, took our order by memory! An amazing feat at any age. The cocktails were innovative, and the food was very good. I am looking forward to returning very soon to try more of the cocktail and food selections. And... there were fresh flowers on every table, which adds a lot to a pleasurable dining experience.
