We love this restaurant. It is perfect for dinner before a play at Taproot Theater. Service is warm and friendly (and prompt) and ambience is great - quiet music. It is hard anymore to find a restaurant that it not so noisy that it is hard to carry on a conversation. The menu is truly Mediterranean with many choices, and dishes are delicious. I gave 4 stars on food this time because my husband's lamb chunks were "chewy and sinewy" (although the ground lamb kofteh was fine.

Bellingham

About the restaurant

The Admiralty Lounge is a 21+ restaurant and lounge, offering inventive cuisine inspired by old Naval passages and Trade Routes. Our aesthetic and menu take a healthy inspiration from both the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brien as well as Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, backed by exceptional cocktails, beer, wine and more with spirited and non-alcoholic options for everyone.

Delicious comfort food like Fish & Chips arrive along side re-imaginings of traditional naval meals, such as our Imperial Swine. House Smoked Oysters, Devilled Eggs, and our Caesar Salad make way for locally harvested mussels and grass-fed steak while those seeking lighter fare may find their way to robust salads, or vegetarian offerings such as our seasonal Harvest Plate.

Located next to Bellingham's iconic Mount Baker Theater, The Admiralty is perfect for an after work happy hour downtown, an inspiring meal before a show, or a late night drink with your closest friends.

The best prime rib I’ve had anywhere. I tried a bite of a steak too and it was over the top. It’s a real gem! The owners are very hard working and creative. I highly recommend it!… beer is great too.

We were visiting Seattle and Tilikum Place Cafe was a recommended place to eat (online and from a Seattlite). Thankfully we made a dinner reservation about 6 weeks in advance because our experience was one we would have been sad to miss. The ambiance was amazing (small restaurant with a comfortable ‘vibe’). The service was well paced and the food was incredible. We sat beside a ‘regular’ who suggested that when we are back, that we NEED to go for brunch. If I am back in Seattle, this is definitely on my list of restaurants to return to!

Our group of 3 people tried several dishes and every one of them was delicious. The beets are beyond fabulous as well as the steak and frites. We liked the experience so much we came back the next night while we were in town. The cocktails did not disappoint.
