- OTOpenTable DinerSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 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

- KWKendallWSeattle / Eastern Washington •1 review5.0Dined on Nov 25, 2023We've been to the Admiralty Lounge 3 or 4 times now. The cocktails are always delicious. The menu is also creative and fun. We've enjoyed the Fried Rabbit, The Bunny Chow, the Goat Herder stew, the Tavern Steak, and the Bubble & Squeak appetizer. We've had the same server most of the times we've been there. A young, energetic guy who has been excellent in guiding us to helping find the cocktails and meals for us. Really appreciate good ole fashioned service like that--thank you!!!!! Also, the ambience is great. Definitely has the old nautical vibe. We love it and will be back!More infoThe Admiralty LoungePrice: Expensive• Bar / Lounge / Bottle Service• Bellingham•4.7
