Lighthouse Bar & Grill

Came here for Mother's Day. We typically go to Anthony's across the way and wanted to try out some thing new. I will start by saying there were a lot of positives. The staff were super friendly. The location is beautiful especially this weekend with the sun out. We had booked our reservation because it was a party of 7 and we wanted to make sure that we had enough seating for everybody. We noticed on the website that there was a Mother's Day Brunch; but there was nothing on the website to state that the regular menu was discontinued for the morning; so we went in assuming those who wanted the Buffet could enjoy that but those who didn't were not forced to. Unfortunately when we had arrived we were told that the regular menu was not on offer today and the buffet was mandatory. In addition we were not able to cancel the reservation as there was a 75$ no-show fee which was the same price as the buffet. Onto the food; as with most buffets there were some standouts and some lack luster dishes. The highlights were the Prime rib, which was tender and flavorful; but dry if you didn't get it medium-rare. The omelet station was good as well as. However; the best part was easily the prawn cocktail which were amazing! Some of the disappointing selections were the egg's benedict which were essentially hardboiled eggs on top of a slice of ham or salmon. Similarly the salmon filet was overcooked and dry especially without any sauce to go with it. Overall, I think this would have been a much more pleasant experience if they were more flexible or forthcoming with the buffet; and I think the buffet was slightly overpriced for what was offered.

If you're looking for a relaxed quiet evening with a beautiful view and great food then this is the place for you. The food here has always been fantastic and the servers are professional. It *is* fairly expensive to eat here, but I'm my opinion it's worth the price.

My husband and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Bellingham, the Lighthouse Bar and Grill never disappoints. The atmosphere and ambiance is easily the first thing that is noticed it's very relaxed and adorned with great views of Bellingham Bay. I greatly appreciate the stellar we received from every staff member of Hotel Bellwether; our server Andrea was exceptional. The food also never disappoints, I really appreciate the menu including multiple vegetarian dishes.I will return and highly recommend!

We had an absolutely perfect meal tonight. We started with the baguette with olive oil and balsamic. Then for dinner my husband had the filet with a glass of Caymus, and I had the halibut, pictured, both were cooked to perfection and the flavors were perfect. We ended with the Pots de Crème and a lemon tart. So amazing Our server really took the whole experience to a new level. Thank you for a great meal!

Eat outside and take in the lovely views with amazing food. PSA: It's on the water and can be cold, but they have blankets! Five of us went to dinner, we all had something different: Salad, duck, a sandwich...So obviously a very big range of cuisine. But the good part was that they were all so delicious that we couldn't choose which was best. Drinks are super creative and delicious, but woo! Some of them are STRONG. Service was really fantastic and very friendly. Despite it being freezing and breezy, the food stayed warm while we were eating, and the experience was super enjoyable. I'd suggest making a reservation for the weekend as it can be a prime location. OR - hurry down for a great happy hour!

This restaurant is OKWe ate here with friendsThe food was good but not greatThe view is niceValue was OK prices in line with the view

Great breakfast spot--we had good service, beautiful views and delicious food. The thick cut toast and fresh strawberry jam looked amazing, and my own omelette was super satisfying without being heavy or greasy. The classic breakfast featured wonderful local sausage. This restaurant seemed to feature local foods, which we appreciated.If we can return for lunch or dinner, we will.

We hit this place up for both a birthday dinner and again for brunch the next morning. Very satisfied both times. It's a big dining room with lots of dark wood, walls of windows, and plenty of elbow room. Just how you picture a hotel restaurant at a nicer place, at least in my mind's eye. We scored a table in the corner with expansive salt water views, right next to a fireplace, and watched the boats come and go out of the marina next door. DrinksThe wine list is really nice--lots of nice choices that won't break the bank, with a few fancy options thrown in. We had a great WA chardonnay and a Sonoma cab that really hit the spot. The martini wasn't really made as ordered, but the manhattan was perfect, and the vodka soda was alright.SteaksWe hit the new york, the filet, and the bacon-wrapped new york. All cooked just as ordered, decent portion size, and nice accompaniments (carrots, potatoes, brussels, and so on). I had the pork chop, which was juicy and fantastic. My body A added a lobster tail to his steak. Great addition, though he didn't share bites.AppetizersMushroom were great, mussels were incredibly well-picked for size and juiciness, and the octopus was unremarkable. Even the octopus was still a pretty little salad, it just didn't have much protein unless you count all the white bean puree. DessertsFrozen chocolate torte was a big hit with the birthday girl, and my apple cheesecake was great.BreakfastsGreat mimosa, bloody, and good coffee and tea. The biscuits were awesome--in the biscuits and gravy (big hit), benedict, and with the omelette. The omelette wasn't huge but I stole bites from everyone else. Birthday girl loved her avocado toast. The benedict was good; they took peppers out of the potatoes on request and everything else was solid, except the hollandaise, which was kinda bland. Service was right on point and super-friendly and nice throughout both meals. Prices were fine. It was super luxurious to check in for a quick November stay, have dinner without dealing with the elements, and then do the same for breakfast.

Our visit to the Lighthouse Breakfast Spot offered a mixed bag of delights and disappointments. We sampled the Lighthouse Breakfast and the Lighthouse Benedict, opting to substitute bacon for the ham in the latter.The Benedict, served with a unique biscuit twist, left us with a mixed impression. While it certainly filled us up, we found the biscuit a tad dry, and the bacon portions were disappointingly scant - almost as if they were stretched thin. However, the flavors were passable.The Lighthouse Breakfast, featuring two perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, hearty potatoes, and Avenue Bread's sourdough toast, was a more satisfying experience. Though the bread proved a bit tough to chew, the eggs were spot on. Unfortunately, our bacon was missing initially, but upon notifying our waitress, they promptly rectified the oversight, even comping our cappuccino as a gesture of apology.Despite the hiccups, we would consider revisiting, primarily for the picturesque view and commendable service. However, we'd ensure to plan our visit at a leisurely pace, allowing ample time to savor the experience without any rush.We came in for Breakfast on a weekend a little before 10AM. The beautiful view, enhanced by the glass wall blocking any wind, added to the pleasant ambiance.It took a while in between visits from the waitresses to be served, but we were not in a rush and the view gave us something to do.Our waitresses were super friendly, professional, and accommodating. They both apologized for the delay when we first got our drink order in and another when food was brought out.We ordered a total of a Bloody Mary, Mimosa, and Cappuccino. The Bloody Mary, while nothing particularly unique, was satisfying. Adding some Tabasco sauce and lime gave it a little more flavor. My husband enjoyed his first-ever Cappuccino, and the Mimosa, served with a glass of champagne and orange juice on the side, was a delightful touch.

Took a trip to Bellingham and stumbled upon Lighthouse. Server was super sweet and helpful. Everything we got, we loved. My boyfriend tried oysters for the first time and they were so delicious! We both got cups of their different soups. And then we split the crab melt. I had one of their rotating ciders in draft and he had their house white. We came in around 2pm and were the only ppl in so got to choose a table by the window. It was a rainy day but the view was still amazing. Favorite touch was that every table had fresh tulips on it! Would recommend!
