The service was average but the food was terrible !!! The washrooms were freezing and dirty and the atmosphere was something out of the 90's (dirty carpets, old booths, table tops that were dated and cracked) Appitizer : Calimari - greasy, very rubbery non fresh which tasted like frozen crap. Ceasar salad - the lettuce was so finely chopped it... More

I've eaten twice recently at this restaurant, and been blown away by how very good it is. It's in an unassuming location, on a street with motels and many fast food joints. With these neighbors, this restaurant is truly in a class by itself. Very pleasant, freshly furnished interior, with comfortable, clean booth and table seating. Lots of natural light.... More

The Five Columns Restaurant os one place we have to visit every time we are in Bellingham. We have family celebrations there and always introduce our friends to it. The service is friendly from the time you walk in until the time you exit. There does not appear to be a "bad seat" there, so sit anywhere! Ask any questions... More

The meals are overpriced and the food lacks an authentic Greek flavor. If you like McGreek , this place is for you. The food we ordered was too oily and not spiced well beyond lots of garlic. I had a dinner entree and spanokopeta. I have traveled in Greece and am familiar with this cuisine. More

We ate here the evening before Thanksgiving. It appeared to be a slow night with minimal wait staff on hand. Our server was OK but things seemed to take a long time getting things out to us. Disappointed in the Greek salad that came with my meal. The prices were fair for what was on offer and the entrees generally... More

My husband and I adore Greek food and have eaten it at restauarnts all over the Pacific Northwest. Most of it has been excellent, and we were looking forward to trying Five Columns based on the tripadvisor reviews. We arrived there at 8pm on the 23rd December. The decor was a generic 1970's type feel, and there was a smell... More
