    If you're up for a phenomenal dinner in a casual setting, definitely come to rock and rye. Our food was spectacular and our server was even better. She had our food fired at the exact right time. We will be back.

    Service was great, food was fabulous, and greatly enjoyed sitting on the outdoor balcony, even with the occasional alley "entertainment" below. I especially appreciated our server asking if I wanted the chowder 1st! Most places push the food all at once, and it was a delight to enjoy the meal at a proper pace. I will for sure be back.

    Such a cute date night experience! Fried oysters were phenomenal- all seafood plates were fresh and delicious. I would definitely leave the littles at home when going. Our server, Pete, was attentive but respected our time and wasn't overbearing.

    Lovely experience here! I came for dinner with my family and we sat on the back patio which was perfect. I got the sauteed lion's mane and the beet salad (both pictured) and would recommend both, really flavorful and beautiful presentation. The happy hour is great as well and service was absolutely top notch. Inside was cute as well, could definitely see sitting in the bar area as a cute date night. Excellent go-to spot in Bellingham!

    The 2 of us ordered a dozen oysters and split 4 of each of the 3 choices so we could try them all. They were all very fresh but our favourite was Judd Cove. The Oysters Rockefeller was so good. We both loved it. We also really liked the Beet Salad. It was very refreshing. The Oyster Chowder was meh. We felt it didn’t have much flavour. The Albacore Tataki was excellent and very fresh. But it had a sauce that was a little sweet and we would have preferred a savoury sauce. The Seared Scallops were delicious and perfectly cooked. They were tender and juicy inside. It’s pricey here compared to other restaurants that have comparable or better dishes though.

    Loved every dish and drink we had here! Great cocktails and wine selection. The oysters were fresh and delicious. We also had the scallops, the poutine with pork belly, the ribeye steak, and the chocolate torte. Everything was amazing!

    My partner and I have been here a few times, we typically sit at the bar but tonight was our anniversary so we made reservations and sat at a table. Our server was very kind and attentive and gave us just the perfect amount of attention. 😊 we had some oysters and a salad, followed by the halibut entree and the mussels accompanied by a bottle of Bordeaux. The evening was overall excellent. From the hostess who sat us, the bartender who delivered our drinks and everyone else in between! Thank you for such a lovely evening. Wish we remembered our servers name.

    Oysters Rockefeller, beet salad and mussels were all really good. Others had the fish and chips and poutine which they said were good as well. Fresh oysters were a hit also.

    I love bringing friends here when they visit from out of town. The raw oysters are perfect! I tried the beet salad and the saffron corn chowder which were both amazing. The fish and chips are also always a great choice. Great place to go with friends, family, dates, or special occasions!

    The food here is amazing. The drinks were great. Our server was so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend this restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back.

    Took my girlfriend here for her birthday. It was such a great experience. The back deck area was great and the food and service were even better. I wish I could remember our server's name but he wore a kilt and was so incredibly friendly and helpful. He definitely elevated our experience. The food was equally fantastic.

    Very solid restaurant! Great oysters! Had the tataki and scallops for appetizer, perfectly crispy top layer with tenderness inside. We also tried their duck and ribeye- both are great. I do think the entree portion is on the smaller size. Love to come back

    A restaurant located in the heart of Bellingham downtown one of the few restaurants that was described in the blog that caught my attention and I came to try. Based on the restaurant's name surely it has specialty dishes with oyster. The recommended dishes were beef carpaccio and pan-fried oysters. My friend and I were relatively disappointed with the pan fried oysters the oysters are fresh and yummy; however, the fried layer is a bit too hard and thick. The beef capaccio was fine. By the end of the day, I was actually impressed by randomly ordered oyster chower. It was not spectacular but it was nice and delicious.

    Simply put, one of the BEST meals in my life. From the appetizer of seared peppers with sesame, tomatoes with cheese and bread to a SIMPLY SENSATIONAL oyster offering including the Rockefeller, pan fried and then one with mushroom and crust......wow! Dessert of the pannacotta and the chocolate torte was unbelievable! Our young server, so sincere and anxious to please us (and surrounding tables) was delightful! An amazing dining experience for $100 including a wine and a draft beer! The outside deck environment, charming, reminded me of eating in Italy.

    Excellent food and service! Cool atmosphere! We ate out on the back deck on a warm summer night. Our table ordered the steamers, fish and chips and duck confit. All was really good. Our server anticipated every need, without being annoying. He was brilliant. Can’t wait to go back.

    Good food at a reasonable price. Wine not so much. $12 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc is criminal. The HH mussels were very good. The corn and clam chowder was okay, but you get the feeling they are trying to stretch out the clam chowder with filler. The scallops were good. Dessert selection was small and not appealing. The back patio is nice, but it overlooks an alley filled with dumpsters. Service was good.

    Great food and deliciously inventive cocktails, music wasn't too loud for conversation, and plenty of space if you show up after about 7:30 or so. Menu is a little bit on the small side but what they do, they do well.

    Always fresh oysters, creative non-alcoholic drinks, delicious fare, and very friendly service. Comfy outdoor balcony seating in nice weather. Had the cauliflower, polenta, & mushroom main. So good! And noticed you could buy a bottle of Chateau Montelena chardonnay. (Watch the movie Bottle Shock.)
