Casual, good food with a Thai twist. Or a Mexican twist. Or an Italian twist. So I call that American. We had great pot roast and excellent rosemary chicken. And obviously great guacamole. more

We had a quick lunch here before heading out of town. The outdoor seating is nice and dogs are welcome. Beware of bees...the garden is pretty and has lots of flowers so if you sit outside, you're likely to have bees buzzing around you. The food is decent and there is a variety of menu items to choose from. more

After a lovely day at the botanical gardens, my husband and I decided on a late lunch/early dinner at the nearly and highly recommended Mendocino Cafe. The location is convenient with a lovely outdoor deck and view of the headlands. Service was very good. Food was disappointing. When we arrived at 3:50 p.m., the server seated us and mentioned we... more

We had lunch here and we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing, unpretentious place. I had the mexican burrito with tofu which was yummy - could have been a bit spicier but that's okay, there was a nice chili sauce to go with it. My husband had the fish tacos which were also perfectly decent. It had a good... more

The dining room is cute and the small but bright and airy as well. The waitress... more

Cute little cottage with a nice patio/deck for outdoor dining. As it was a blustery day, we decided to eat inside. I ordered the Thai Fire Pot and was extremely happy with my choice. It's moderately spicy (hot, but not so hot that you can't eat it), with a savory coconut curry broth. I chose tofu and rice to accompany... more

We'd had a good lunch at the Mendocino Cafe on a previous trip so did not hesitate to return last week. Unfortunately, the cafe was populated with more flies than customers and the staff was not at all concerned. Seemingly, the flies were hungry and determined as they would NOT leave our food alone. Twice we asked the waiter to... more
