Lighthouse Bar & Grill

We live locally in Bellingham, but a lot of people who come here are staying at the hotel. There’s quite a few options for a good food in Bellingham, but we wanted to dress up a bit so we decided to go to the Bellweather. We’ve been here several times and always had a good time, about half the time we go to the bar side, but it was a bit busy tonight. We were greeted at the front by Erick who we hadn’t met before. My wife and I are pretty social so we do enjoy having a host at a restaurant, this is something we were used to before we moved. Erick and our server Maureen were super cool, just the right amount of friendly, and just the right amount of letting us chill. We do like the vibe at Bellweather, it’s a place where you can get dressed up a little bit but then completely chill. They ha

We dined here for dinner tonight. It’s a beautiful location and they take reservations. Our food was great but our food took forever, where I felt maybe it sat for a bit making it warm hot but not hot hot. I’m not sure what really happened. There was only us, a table of 5 and another table of 2 seated. The flavors of our food was good but overall I didn’t feel full after my meal where I feel like the portions were a little bit on the smaller side. We even got two appetizers. Maybe we could have been starving from the moment we were seated till our meals came which was over an hour. I also felt that the prices were a bit on the expensive side. I would say this is a place to try for something new.

We spent two lovely happy hour afternoons on the patio here during our stay at the Bellwether, and both were exceptional. Our cocktails were delicious, the food was great, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend the fried mushrooms, meat & cheese plate, and fish & chips. Our server, Carolyn, was especially fantastic. There was large business party on half the patio that kept the staff super busy the second day we were there, but Carolyn made sure to check on us frequently and maintained her professional, courteous demeanor. We will be back next time we're in Bellingham!

We visited Lighthouse Bar & Grill during their transition from brunch to dinner, so they had a light menu available—which was exactly what we were looking for. We ordered the pork belly Caesar salad and the crabcakes, which were perfect for the two of us. The full-size Caesar salad was only a dollar more at that time and was a huge portion. The pork belly was delicious, and the crabcakes were absolutely divine. Since we arrived during the changeover, we were seated right away. The service was excellent, and the bartender was very accommodating, even swapping out one of the alcohols in a drink for us. I tried the Gunpowder cocktail, which was unique and interesting. Our food came out quickly, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. The setting was another highlight—stunning views, bea

Excellent all around. The food was outstanding, service too notch and gorgeous atmosphere. I would drive the 3 hours again just for this restaurant.
