This place is quite unique. The staff was very friendly. We had a reservation so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. The place was nicely decorated. All the food was delicious. The plates have rather large portions. I highly recommend the jalapeño chicken, Ceasar salad, and Brussel sprouts.

We were in fairhaven and this place was suggested all over the public forums. It is situated on the 3rd floor of a very beautiful building. There was a wait for 30 mins on a Tuesday evening. We ordered the special blueberry mock-tail, cat lemonade, caesar salad with chicken, a side of baguette and po boy sandwich with shrimp. The caesar salad was fresh and crunchy. The po boy was delicious – the shrimp was fantastically seasoned. Both the drinks were amazing as well. The staff were cheerful and quick. We were well taken care of. Though we were a little disappointed with baguette served cold – made it difficult to spread butter on it. Overall, I’d recommend it if you’re in town.

I loved the cozy ambiance and location of this place. The views were great and the food was delicious. Service was timely. But unfortunately, I took off some stars because I was charged $5 for being brought the avocado that was already supposed to be included in the salad that I ordered. Unimpressed by that.

Good fresh food and great historical building atmosphere. Window seats have views of dt and water. We had the fish and chips, bowl of chowder and a fried chicken and bacon sandwich. All tasty and hot made to order. They have a spicy house ranch that we enjoyed. Located in the third floor. Building does have elevators. Shared bathrooms for the floor.

This is one of the coolest places I have eaten. Set in an old building with the most beautiful mill work. Truly spectacular. Then the food was very yummy as well. Try the Hippie Salad but add grilled prawns. The grilled cheese was also amazing with toasted cheese on the outside and tomato soup that I believe had parmesaian stired in. Really really good. Fun place to visit if your in the Bellingham area. Worth the drive even if your not!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Fairhaven. I’ve tried quite a few of their menu items in the last couple of years and all have been something to brag about. I particularly love their crab mac and cheese which is the ultimate in comfort food. The atmosphere and decor are inviting and relaxing and the service is top notch. I consider it a good value for the money and a great place for special occasions or just a great lunch.

Really cool atmosphere and good food here. Sat at the bar and had fantastic service. Their cocktails are delicious and well crafted, and the entrees were a generous size and a fair price. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu next time.

Sat at the bar at 4:50 and the wonderful bartender made sure that I had the opportunity to order from the Happy Hour menu. Food was delicious! If I lived in town, you would find me here all the time!

Fantastic food! I was worried that this place would be more expensive but similar quality as other cheaper places but I was pleasantly surprised! The crab Mac n cheese was creamy and actually had real chunks of crab in it. Not the imitation stuff or a small amount you can barely taste. I’m talking real chunks. My partner got a po boy with green bean fries and the dipping sauce they served with it just made it even better.
The locally made cheesecake was rich and wonderful. The place was super cute and the staff were just the sweetest. This place was such a little treat! Great place to go for a date night.
