dining al fresco
Tucked away in the heart of Mendocino Village, our garden patio is a peaceful place to enjoy seasonal dishes, fresh coastal flavors, and a glass of wine outdoors. Well-behaved, friendly dogs are always welcome.

keeping it cozy
Seating in the garden has the option for heat lamps, whether you are seated amongst the flowers or under our covered pergola. We also offer lap blankets for those cozy Mendocino foggy days.
Indoors, many of our tables have views of the garden and ocean.

“The scallops were cooked just right, and the ribeye was so tender. What stood out was how fresh everything tasted. You could really tell they use quality ingredients. Made for a nice, relaxed evening.”

“Amazing setting and food. We met a nice woman near Russian Gulch, Hildie, who was local and recommended this restaurant when we asked. It was amazing. The outdoor setting was so beautiful and warm with the heat lamps. The food was so delicious and fresh. Can’t wait to come back!”
