The place seems to do a good business and stopping by for an afternoon coffee was perfect. We ordered two large lattes and they really quenched the thirst for a pick-me-up coffee. While watching the patrons order and file through we noticed baked goods continually brought out and offered. When the chocolate chip cookies arrived we did a quick dive before they were snatched up. The baked goods seemed to disappear quickly. The cookies were delicious. It's a pleasant enough space and they have an amazing antique type stereo system playing classics. Very nice background music. This is definitely a place for a coffee or similar type cafe offering.

The restroom is clean and unisex, and the decor is fun. I sat at the bar, but they do have an outdoor patio with a ton of seats. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

It had several tables with wood chips on the ground and a small stage for live music but when I went there was a tv playing. I went for a late lunch and they had lunch specials before 3pm. So I ordered their smash cheeseburger which came with a pickle slices, a side of tater tots and special sauce. The cheeseburger burger was basic and the patty was a little. But it was tasty. The tater tots were a decent portion, crunchy and fluffy. I also ordered a cup of their tomato bisque which was creamy and with flavorful tomato chunks. The service was great two servers came by a lot and they brought my dog a bowl of water. If I ever return to Mendocino I will definitely come by and try their other dishes. Recommended!

I cannot understand all the negative reviews! The Raven's Restaurant is centered around foods and…read moreingredients that are natural, non-processed, nourishing, sustainable, and most importantly cruelty-free. My husband and I stayed at the Stanford Inn back in 2025 to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary, and my goodness! It's going to be really hard to beat. The Raven's Restaurant was so convenient being only a few steps away from our room. The views from the dining room are breathtaking. You either get a view of the garden and ocean, or a view of the Big River. Both are amazing! Breakfast is complimentary for those staying at the Stanford Inn, and like other reviewers have mentioned, the portion sizes are large! The food is nutrient dense, so you feel satiated after only eating half of it or so. Our breakfast would also double as our lunch, so that's two meals in one! What a win! Plus, the service was top notch every time. We felt taken care of every step of the way. I am vegan and my husband is not vegan, however, he enjoys and appreciates vegan food. There have been some vegan restaurants that we've gone to where he was not a fan, but he was so pleasantly surprised and happy with all the food at Raven's Restaurant. We especially loved the scones and looked forward to each morning trying a new flavor. They were all so delicious and moist, not crumbly and dry. None of their items were too sweet or too salty, which was amazing for people who are sensitive to those flavors. My husband and I just booked another getaway in a couple weeks and we are counting down the days to be back and enjoy Raven's Restaurant again!

Service was good and the atmosphere is very calm and scenic, especially given the inn setting. A good option if you're staying at the Stanford Inn or want a fully vegan meal

The fish was fresh, light, and not heavy with grease at all. I could tell the fries were homemade along with the tartar sauce. My partner eas craving classic eggs benedict and he got exactly what we was looking for. The sauce, the English muffins, and the eggs were perfectlly cooked! The potatoes were not greasy at all. They check in on you at your table and make sure your drinks are always full. Their hot coffee drinks in the morning also were fresh ; there was not one thing we could complain about we wanted to order another round of food it was good with a very vast menu! Price wise for two people was very very reasonable we spent about 80 bucks including coffee drinks and dessert so if you're looking for reasonable and budget friendly this is it!! This place is a must and we were so sad we saved this place for last while leaving Fort Bragg. We will be back and HIGHLY recommend stopping by here for the service and food!

We were fortunate to come by when there was hardly any line, a good start. With all the buzz about Candy Cap Mushroom ice cream I just had to try it. My wife chose the Hokey Pokey (described as honeycomb candy ice cream with lots of honeycomb candy pieces). We grabbed our ice cream and found a number of inside tables to relax in and enjoy our sweets. There are also upstairs and outside tables. My wife loved her Hokey Pokey, and I tried it as well and agreed - a unique concoction and delicious! I found my Candy Cap Mushroom OK, but not a favorite. Certainly points for originality (where else can you find one?) but my tastebuds like something a little sweeter. For me it was a little too like vanilla, my least liked flavor. But I won't ding them for a personal preference, as there was nothing wrong with the quality. Great location for Mendocino ice cream - although maybe next time it's the Hokey Pokey for me.
