Tolle Restaurants in Bellingham

Coming from metro Phoenix which has great food, we have been pleasantly surprised by the many wonderful restaurants in Bellingham. But Carnal is a cut above. Big city vibe, and creative menu. A tad on the pricey side, but well worth it.

Estelle’s is simply great. The food is creative and never fails to impress. The cocktails are simply brilliant. The staff at Estelle’s are friendly, knowledgeable and work as a great team. The size, informality and sense of casual elegance is very appealing. Estelle’s has become our favorite restaurant to take friends to who visit us from out of town and is always a wonderful treat for us too. Nadine, who has been our server the last few times we’ve been there, is outstanding. She a charming and gracious woman who truly enhances the experience of dining. Not to mention her depth of knowledge and experience. Gray, at the bar, is an performer as well as a talented mixologist. The menu at Estelle’s is small, but each dish is so well done and distinctive it is very hard to have a favorite! A new-to-us dish that wowed us on our most recent visit was the ‘chicken liver mousse coastal huckleberry & chive with sunflower sourdough’ omg! We’ll be back soon again and highly recommend it.

Excellent service, really creative dishes. If you like mussels and fries, great but ask for fries on the side so they stay crispy, and recommended that! So fun and we got last minute tix to Rocky Horror show so they moved us to bar so we could hang out on a very busy night!

The staff are so helpful and accommodating for our large party that descended upon them with only 40 minutes notice. Could not have had a better experience! Thank you to the staff!

Thursday night not busy at all. Service was exceptional. Food was above average.
