Bellingham Cider Company Restaurant - Bellingham
Carrie Beautiful view of Bellingham bay for sunset from the patio. Good food - a varied menu. The kale Caesar is great. Big fan of all the ciders, and I also like the old fashioned.
1 /5 Infinite Investments: I’m genuinely surprised this establishment has a 4.8-star rating. Here is my experience:
1. We placed a clear order for a beef-and-chicken kabob plate and a second all-beef kabob plate.
2. Despite the restaurant not being busy, the wait time was approximately 25 minutes.
3. When our order was finally ready, I checked it and found that both plates contained only chicken. I informed the staff member that this was not what I ordered. He insisted there was “no beef,” and when I reiterated that I had ordered and paid for beef, he raised his hand and told me to “calm down.” My partner then produced the receipt, at which point he apologized and said he would check if there was beef “in the freezer.”
It is concerning to be told that beef would be thawed and prepared within ten minutes.
When the corrected order arrived, it was extremely disappointing. The rice lacked authenticity, and the chicken did not resemble quality chicken—I genuinely could not determine what was served, so I chose not to eat it. The beef was marginally acceptable, but for anyone familiar with authentic cuisine of this style, this establishment does not meet expectations. What kind of portion salad is this?
Additionally, I ordered tzatziki sauce and bread, yet instead received a salad with chunks of cheese. There was no tzatziki SAUCEEE itself included at all.
Overall, this was a regrettable $50 experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant.
