    Loved our dinner at Estelle. Made a last minute reservation so had to sit at the bar, but it was still lovely and delicious.

    The food and service were fantastic. It was everything we could do to not lick the plates. We will be going back regularly.

    Excellent food, though menu limited. Will be checking seasonally for promised menu changes, was told website menu not always accurate. Great service, very good dishes.

    Another great visit to Estelle. The chicory salad, burger, and clams were excellent. The cassoulet was good, though not traditionally spiced. Service was great as always. A huge selection of dry January alcohol drinks. The one we tried was great. They also do corkage. The place was packed—it seems like Bellingham is catching on.

    We went to this restaurant and loved the food taste. We had the mussels and the cheeseburger. Loved the different flavors included with the fires and burger. Ate the rye bread and wish they had provided extra butter. Prices are a little high but food was wonderful
