    Oyster Mushrooms & Leeks
    Sheri S.

    Divine, OMG--this is the only way to describe the incredible meal I had last night with friends, who were in solid agreement with me. I will let readers look up descriptive information online at the restaurant's website about the various dishes, but here's what we shared: Oyster Mushroom & Leeks, Carpaccio, Grilled Radicchio Salad, Geoduck Crudo, Summer Squash Pasta, and Fried Half Chicken. For dessert we shared Peaches & Cream and the S'mores Tart. We also loved the fluffy frites--jo-jos! All were incredibly delicious. Of particular note were the Geoduck Crudo, Summer Squash Pasta, and Fried Half Chicken. The geoduck was a thing of beauty: delicate and tender and flavorful. I could consume bowls of this. The summer squash in the pasta was long slender strips of zucchini which echoed the long slender strips of the delectable pasta which was tender and delicious. The fried chicken was literally melt-in-your-mouth. Ironically, of the three of us, I and a friend initially proclaimed less than no interest in the summer squash (assuming it to be butternut or some such thing). We fell in love with the pasta and our companion who ordered it barely got a taste. Also ironically, we were told that the carpaccio came with side "smears" of beet. Same/same friend and I went, "Noooooo." However, it was a delicious beet and mustard mix which we loved--so our beet-loving friend ended up outnumbered once again! Desserts were each lovely. Cocktails were fabulous including Baby Birch and Count to Five. And I was given a beautiful, fascinating Poppy Amaro. Beautiful place and atmosphere, plus wonderful staff including Nicole (sp) and Joe--highly attentive and helpful.

    Very attentive servers and a great cocktail selection make the Elk St Tavern a new Bellingham favorite. Give this place a try for dinner or drinks you will not be disappointed.

    Crafty cocktail.  Delicious!

    Yummy food and great drinks! The sable fish was the star of the show and our waiter was very nice. Will be back for future date nights

    I wanted to try everything, but stuck with the happy hour menu - I had the Caesar salad, bar mix (seasoned pretzels and nuts), and the prawn roll.

    Drinks 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 Gorgeous view of the water and lots of indoor and outdoor

    I'd rate this place 3.5 stars, all things considered. (Rounding to 4 because I can't imagine giving…read morethis view a 3 star!) To me the biggest pro is the location and views! The outdoor patio is sprawling with space! Tons of outdoor seating and quite a bit inside as well (for the rainy days I suppose!) Although every time I have visited (sunny days!) there were people sitting inside and I am not sure why anyone would choose to sit inside on a beautiful day!! I digress. The annoying thing about the patio, the music was on what felt like, volume level 7 out of 10. It was blaring. I could not hear my friend speaking to me across the table. While I totally dug the music selection, it was way too loud to have a conversation. The speakers are on like every other post so there was no getting away from it. At one point I did ask them if they could turn it down a few notches. (I apologized and said "with risk of sounding like a Karen or an old lady, but it is so loud and I cannot hear across the table). She laughed said no problem and she could turn it down a little. (Funny inside it was like on volume level 4, but outside it was blasting!) The beer is decent, also about 3.5/5. For me the star of the show is the location and the view. The food truck out front the last time we went (January 2026) was Indian fare. It was honestly terrible. Looked like cat food (how fitting). Probably had a total of 3 pieces of chicken in my tikka masala. I would recommend avoiding that truck entirely. It was a thumbs down for all 4 people in our group.
