    First Supper club- food was cold- portions were huge for four courses. The cost was too high for the quality of the meal. The Wine was nice.

    I look my dad and his gf to Bellwether for a special dinner. The food, service and ambience were all perfect. I specifically chose last night so we could hear Bill McDonaugh play piano—he is a master of the keyboard and made perfect selections for subdued and elegant dinner music. We all had a great time!

    Food was delicious. Only downside of it would be the garlic bread, I kept chewing big chunks of salt so a little less salt would be nice. Drinks were nice and refreshing. Waitress was really nice and always checking on us. Overall a great experience with a great view of the sunset.

    My wife and I as well as another couple dined here last night for the first time in several years . The general setting with a spectacular bay and marina view remains the best al fresco view dining in Bellingham . Although the food menu is somewhat limited, the food was overall excellent with savory scampi with pasta and the delicious salmon over a Caesar salad with "real" and delicious dressing. The wine selection is very limited and I decided on a pint on tap of a great local brew. The prices were on the high side for Bellingham but with patio view the bay it was well worth it. I will be back soon.

    Our Server wasn't very attentive & seemed Confused often, told us she was busy. The younger waitresses we've had at the Bellwether before have always been very sharp & attentive. She also told us that the Restaurant didn't make enough money so wouldn't be offering events anymore. Seemed strangely Inappropriate. My Caesar Salad (which I've had there multiple times) did NOT have Caesar Dressing - it was strange, like an Oil Dressing. Pretty weird but difficult to get the Waitress's attention so I gave up on that. I was charged $14 EACH for a Spiked Lemonade. When I asked the Waitress why it was nearly double than it was previously she said they don't do happy hour on Sunday. I had just read the Menu on the Bellwether Website that day before I came to the Restaurant & it said YES - it DOES do Happy Hour on Sundays, Happy Hour Everyday. I was discouraged that for ONE PERSON my Meal Cost Over $70! Very Disappointed.
