We ate dinner here twice during our stay in Mendocino. We had reservations for the dining room, but decided we preferred to eat at a window table in the bar area that afforded a stunning view of the ocean and cliffs, lovely. A short wait with a glass of wine proved pleasant. We loved the bouillabaisse and the fresh fish... More

We stumbled on this restaurant the first time we visited Mendocino and wanted to make sure to eat here again when we came back. It didn't dissapoint! The clam chowder was very creamy, the crab cakes were amazing and the fish and chips were perfectly fried and fish so fresh! So glad we returned! We ate here at lunch both... More

There are many nice places to eat in the Mendocino area, but we chose to go back there for our last dinner. We were not disappointed__another great dinner, well served. Try it, you'll... More

This restaurant is located in the Mendocino Hotel. It is a small, quiet Victorian style Garden type restaurant. It has a variety of unusual and delightful entrees on their menu. We went for breakfast and our food and service was outstanding. Prices are a little on the high side, but I don't think you could find a better meal.

We had a very lack luster dinner here on the 29th. The hotel environment was beautiful and it looks like a nice place to stay but the restaurant was over rated. The food was so bland and the combination of baked carrots and salmon on pasta... just weird. I sincerely hope the chef was on vacation because if meal was... More

The Hotel was built in the 1800 and the furnishings and decor takes you back to that time. We did not stay over night,(next time) but did eat at the restaurant. We had the Sunday Champagne brunch. The food was excellent. Fresh and yummy. The place was clean, the wait staff friendly and the views were breath taking. Will definetly... More

Enjoyed an AMAZING Thanksgiving dinner there! ALL our meals were stellar! Service (Michelle) was superb! Choices were well-balanced...something for everyone! MY prime rib was lovely, and my husband's turkey dinner was fabulous! I may never cook on Turkey Day again!
