“ All 5 dishes at brunch were excellent and prices have not gone up here as crazy as some other local spots ”
“ Just incredible, honestly. The food, the service, the overall vibe, it's the whole package. Excellent food (We had the pesto gouda chicken and bacon balsamic Brussel sprouts). Very pleasant, attentive staff. We made the drive from Camano Island for lunch, and would absolutely do so again! ”
“ We’ve been here maybe a dozen times, and love this place. Any time we’re in Bellingham, this is our go-to Solid food, service, atmosphere. Recently had po boy, amber ale, pot roast, salmon sandwich, fish & chips, and blueberry cider, mixed greens. Excellent ”
“ Cozy and awesome view of the sunset. Server was accommodating and made changes to the food and drinks menu at our requests. The place is inside a court yard type building and is on the 3rd floor (accessible via stairs or elevator). Definitely would come back. ”
“ Been here dozens of times and they never disappoint. We're always greeted as soon as we walk in. The staff are so nice, the service is great, the food and drinks are amazing, the views are awesome. This is a great spot day or night, especially during sunset. The happy hour is unbeatable. We love every visit here. ”
“ The Black Cat is a charming eatery with a vibrant energy. The crab mac & cheese was fresh, creamy & delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive. It's worth seeking upstairs, inside an old historic Fairhaven building. ”
“ We went to the Black Cat for happy hour during our first visit to Bellingham. I'm glad we made a reservation because this place is popular, and with good reason. The food and drinks were delicious (yummy angus burger on the HH menu!), the service excellent (thanks, Brandon!), and we loved the vibe of the historic building and large windows. The angus burger is all we ended up getting from the HH menu, and it was 10/10 on a gorgeous brioche bun with. We also had french fries and the flourless chocolate cake from the regular menu. The fries were 9/10 (could have been a bit fresher/hotter but still pretty crispy and delicious). While the flourless chocolate cake was yummy we both found it a bit dense and had expected it to be lighter. Still had no problems cleaning the plate, though! Instead of the HH 1 off wine and we'll drinks we ordered from the cocktail menu and both loved our choices. Hubby had the Cat Scratch Lemonade and I the Campbell's Anthem, both still reasonably priced though not on HH. (We're used to Seattle prices.) Recommended without hesitation! ”
“ After sundown, this dimly lit restaurant brings a charm that is lost in today's modern dining. The old building is top Fairhaven, and is well maintained. The food choices are fantastic. Especially their crab mac and chesse. Their entrees vary in size, but are subtle tasty spins on classic dishes. The full bar can make any drink, but their signature drink menu offers unique delights. Heads up for the late night diners. They are open until 11:00 most nights with orders to the kitchen closing at 10:00. ”
