5 /5 Ryan Tolman: 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 had a great classical guitarist who was providing some super mellow tunes, perfect volume. Lighting was great, great mise en scène. We started with the crab cakes, then had them bring out a Caesar salad, then the scallop potatoes which are cut up, razor, thin. I thought the star was the potatoes and the very interesting sauce. Cap off with Pellegrino and mocktail since we don’t drink, super mellow and enjoyable evening. We spent quite a bit of time there and it just slipped by pretty quickly. I don’t understand the other reviews about the service, the service we got was prompt in excellent. Thanks to Erick and Maureen for helping us feel at home and I hope we’ll be back soon!
