Best Casual Restaurants in Ferndale

10/10 everytime. Simply perfect. The food and the flavor is all outstanding.

New seats, new tables, outstanding wait staff, and of course, always fabulous food! I did actually like the clear barriers between tables. They provided a little more privacy and helped reduce the overall noise... but still always a great experience. And we always take advantage of the $500 GC with the add'l 10% 😉

Food: wonderful and interesting. They do everything great from fish to meat to vegetables. The squash dish with a sort of sweet / savory / spicy topping was excellent. So was the black cod and the bavette steak. Pricing was as it would be for what they are serving, though Bellinghamsters are notoriously cheap when it comes to restaurants so we will see how Roe goes over. The service was excellent, good recommendations and attentive. The atmosphere was ok - the space has been lightened up with light furniture and walls, since the spaces last incarnation Ciao Thyme. I personally don’t care for that in a dinner setting, and ouch hard chairs! And not enough soft made for a loud space that could use some sound dampening, hence the less one star for ambiance. Definitely will go again.

We liked the gem salad, rye bread, carrots, and duck confit. The mushroom dish was flavorful but heavier on lentils than mushrooms. The tuna in the crudo was a bit fishy. Overall a nice meal in B-ham. Cocktails nice though wine selection limited.

Lovely setting. Good steak salad. Fish and chips scored high on the fish but the chips were sad.
