Recently dined here with friends and our dog. The staff were very accommodating in setting up a table and the heaters outside for us even though it was a cold evening. Staff was friendly and knowledgable about the menu and food. Everyone loved their meals and the food was delicious. Will definitely eat here again!

Friendly service, very reasonable wine list prices, and a delicious meal greeted us after a rainy day in Mendocino. A wonderful evening all-around.

We found that this cafe was highly rated by many on Tripadvisor, so we decided to try it. All (6) of us enjoyed each dish that we had. No one was disappointed. The clam chowder was excellent! Very nice area to visit.

Try the hot pot!!! You will not want to miss it. Excellent approach to Asian fusion... Did not get to try the patio but it looked like it would be a great place to have a drink with friends.

The cafe was packed and so was the outside seating for lunch. I ordered the Thai chicken salad, and my husband ordered the Caeser salad and a bowl of Clam Chowder. The food was good and well worth the price. We would eat there again.

I had the best Vietnamese Salad! The best I have ever had in my entire life. And the chocolate mousse was also scrumptious! My husband-to-be loved the fish stew!

Good was mediocre at best and the service wasn't close to good. Granted, it was a Saturday evening and busy, but the larger groups received more attention. As a couple, we were lost at sea. Pricey,and not worth it!We won't go back!

This long-standing cafe is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. The menu for lunch and dinner is casual, but offers innovative items delivered by a cheerful, efficient staff.

Right on the main strip, good selection of healthy locally grown foods. Vegetarian options. A man played guitar softly while we dined. A very busy place , (Friday night) but the staff were great.
