    I didn't like the steamed clam broth. Unusual combination of flavors. I would not order that again.

    Truly an exceptional dining experience. A rare “grown up” restaurant in Bellingham with exquisite food, great cocktails, perfect ambiance and fantastic service. It will be 5 stars when the new owner pays a bit more attention to the wine list. Highly recommend.

    Typically Estelle is very difficult to get into. However, we went on a Tuesday night, so they were not very busy. Thursday to Saturday is very busy. We had the Hamachi Crudo, Roasted Carrots, Beet Salad and Steak Frittes. All was outstanding, and the delivery and services was timely and excellent. Everything tasted great, but the Roasted Carrots and Steak Frites stood out as Fantastic. Cheers

    Under the new owner, Davis. He seems to be carrying on the tradition well and plans to change the menu often seasonally. Hanger steak frites cooked to perfection. As always, our server, Nadine…fabulous
