The staff…read moreare wonderful: I would name them, but don't want to misspell a name or leave anyone out--especially those who've participated in making such a wonderful experience and I just haven't met them in person. They are welcoming and warm, skilled at what they do, helpful and more. I love that they have musical offerings--and often. I have loved every one I've attended. Last night I had the pleasure of enjoying the Tuesday Songwriter Showcase--this event showcased Lucy London and her violinist partner, Adam. OMG!!! It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Ever! And the food and beverages--oh my. Chelsea is my mixmaster extraordinare. When I ask her to create n/a mocktails for me (IMO, no easy task to get a truly interesting flavor sans alcohol), she always comes up with something complex and wonderful. I cannot recall all the ingredients in one of my favorites last night, but it had both an elderflower component and a rhubarb one: lovely. (And a beautiful salmon-colored hue to boot, complete with a Bartender's cherry...) The food was spectacular. I had read a recent review in the Cascadia Daily News that raved about the Admiralty (for good reason) and spotlighted the deviled eggs, among other choices. Because I make nice deviled eggs myself, I never bothered to try these, so I did last night. Very lovely: creamy and gorgeous with a different, interesting spicy little twist. (Be sure to smear the egg on the bottom of the tray to pick up more of that wonderful red spice.) And the lamb/beef sliders: I'd had them before and really loved them (and sliders aren't really my thing, so that surprised me). Either they were even better last night or I just hadn't remembered how absolutely spectacular--each bite was one of the best of anything I have ever put in my mouth. Luscious. No more be said. Love this place... (plus it's really pretty inside...)

Both had a cocktail and table was ready a little after 6:20. Ordered another cocktail, appetizer was fried green tomatoes, I ordered the fish and chips (added the 3rf piece) and wife ordered the short ribs. I should have stayed with 2 pieces. Wife loved the short ribs. She also ordered a side ceaser salad, biggest salad if seen in a while. Parking is free in the garage after 6pm. Theatre is right next door. Watch a lot of people get turned away without Reservations, so highly encouraged.

The dining room was elegant yet cozy, with great lighting. The staff was also very friendly and our waiter was very helpful in aiding our choice. We ordered the Focaccia bread, the salmon momtadito and the tonnarelli as our entree. The focaccia was the only dissapointing item as it was very basic in my opinion, which isn't bad but just nothing exciting to write about. The appetizer, the salmon montadito, was probably my favorite item of the night. It was served on focaccia bread and drizzled with a truffle honey butter and sat upon a mascarapone yogurt. It was elegant and it was incredibly flavorful. The sweetness of the truffle honey butter was a great contrast to the salmon itself, and all melted together to make an exceptional appetizer. The tonnarelli was a pasta dish we split and was also very tasty. The pasta itself was a thicker spaghetti like pasta served with plenty of crab. It was tasty and it satisfied and I'd likely order it again as I will be back when my sister's visit. All in all, a great restaurant to spend a nice night right in the heart of Bellingham!

We were seated promptly by a friendly hostess at a table in DT Fairhaven, and our server was the bartender. After being seated, we waited a long time without anyone taking our order. We eventually asked if we had a server and were told it was him, with no apology or explanation. We ordered drinks and food, but after more than 40 minutes, we noticed two tables seated after us had already been served, finished eating, and were leaving. At that point, we asked for the check and said we would not be staying. About 15 minutes later, the server returned with our food instead of the check. We declined the meal and sent it back. He then asked if we wanted it boxed to go, which we also declined. His reaction suggested frustration rather than understanding. We never got to try the food, so we can't comment on it. The service, however, was well below expectations given the restaurant's reputation. This was lunch on July 15, 2026. We may try The Black Cat again in the future, hoping this was just an off day.

I do notice in this Seattle area, there's a lot less chain restaurants, I guess maybe it's cause of the high sophistication of the foodies up here, there's less market for mainstream chain food places. I'm traveling around with a friend and I'll take him to Texas Roadhouse. I call in ahead and get us in line for a table. Parking is easy and we go in and I say I'm on the wait list. We get called in a few minutes. Getting seated we get these famous rolls and flavored butter. Biting in, I just remember these being better, like I just wanna eat these now good, but they were just rolls it seemed. Oh Well! Looking over the huge menu, I wanted something different than a steak or ribs. My friend wanted the Filet Medallions, 9 oz of filet Mignon sliced into medallions and served with a whisky peppercorn sauce. I decided on the Beef tips, served with a gravy and onions and mushrooms, sour cream and a baked potato. Each dish served with a Caesar salad. After we got our food, my friend raved about how he loved his Filet medallions! Mine, I sort of looked at it and decided , you know what, this looks just like beef stroganoff! It's served with sour cream and rice usually. The gravy smothered the onions and mushrooms and the meat was not the most tender at all. I think it wouldn't sell well calling this Stroganoff in a Texas restaurant! It was OK dish, maybe 3 stars, but I think I'd order something else next time. I'm glad my friend was wild about his filet medallions. Good visit, but maybe I'd better stick to steaks next time.
