Impeccable service and hospitality from start to finish, with memories to last us a lifetime!…read more I had a series of email exchanges before our stay from various topics like setting up a massage for my husband (we were celebrating his birthday), to ensuring vegan options for us at dinner. All of my interactions were handled in an efficient and personable manner by both Rakesh and Melissa. Elk Cove Inn is a wonderfully curated experience, with nice extra touches like the welcome basket, delicious port in your room, blankets and bowls for our pup, spa style robes, a masseuse on site, and incredibly delicious meals. We loved our stay, we felt so relaxed and welcome here. Will definitely return, and I highly recommend this special place to anyone looking for a remote coastal getaway.

It feels like a local hangout where everyone knows each other, but visitors are welcomed right in. The location right on the water is hard to beat, and the place is filled with funny signs and a great sense of humor that doesn't take itself too seriously. Not fancy at all, but that's the point.

Gama, in my opinion, is the best restaurant on the coast. Now, I have to admit, I have not yet been…read moreto Harbor House; however, I have been to Gama at least 6 times and each meal was spectacular. Last Saturday I ate there with my son, Julian, and every single plate was utter perfection. Josh sent us the best karaage chicken I have ever eaten in my life. The meatballs, the Hamachi, the chicken oysters, the pork belly... EVERYTHING was sublime. And don't even get me started on the miso-glazed black cod. Pure heaven. Even their wasabi is stellar. Emma and David were in the dining room and the service, as always, was impeccable. It was personable, attentive, and warm. Another lovely aspect of an evening spent with my son who was visiting. We were both looking very much forward to our meal at Gama. Anyone who appreciates Japanese Izakaya and has not tried Gama, is missing out. YOU NEED TO GO. We are so lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in Point Arena. If I could go every single day, I would. THANK YOU, Gama!

Left here feeling super confused. The atmosphere, view, and drinks were fantastic. Although the…read moreconsistency of all our dishes were incredible, each one lacked flavor entirely. Hence my confusion. Staff were awesome. Service was slow which was annoying at first, but then you settle into the vibe of it. My boyfriend and I got drinks and went back and forth from our table to the seating area outside. We got to enjoy the sunset and when we came back to our table our food was served to us. Would recommend this place for a drink and view.

Outstanding! We…read morestayed at the hotel and had both dinner and breakfast here, and was incredibly impressed with both meals. For dinner we really enjoyed the fresh vegetables and the salad and was knocked off my feet with the homemade pasta dish. Wine And cocktail selection was very impressive. For breakfast, it was impossible to settle on just one thing, but I absolutely loved the Turkish eggs and we also had to try the seasonal peaches and ricotta toast, which was truly unforgettable. The views are unbelievably stunning. Service is excellent and prices are on par with what they should be for a meal of this caliber.

This was a great stop on a Saturday evening in Fort Bragg. They offer pinball machines and a couple…read morebilliard tables for guests to play for a fee. Shuffleboard was free, and we certainly took advantage and had a blast. We weren't really keeping score, but I won (10-3) if anyone is counting. On top of that, the live music set the mood, awesome indie tunes being performed on stage and an even better sound system. There's a jukebox on site too, to go along with the quirky decor and dim colored lighting creating an inviting setting. Also, service at the bar was excellent as we ordered a couple different cocktails. The whiskey sour and strawberry lemon drop were made well and quite tasty. So of course, we had seconds. Needless to say, I'm a fan of this place.

The cutest little hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, the kind of place you'd walk right past if you…read moredidn't know it was there, and I'm so glad I didn't. It's small, cozy and full of character, with that warm neighborhood feel where you instantly want to stay a little longer than you planned. Now the real reason you need to go: the pumpkin spice latte. It's a MUST. Perfectly balanced, cozy and smooth, with real fall flavor that isn't overly sweet or syrupy like the chain versions. It tastes like someone actually cares about how it's made, and it's easily one of the best I've had. If you love finding hidden gems with a ton of heart, this is it. I'll definitely be back to work through the rest of the menu, but the pumpkin spice latte alone is worth the trip. Don't skip it!

The back room is very casual - it was "seat yourself" so get here early if you want to snag a table by the window(s). The food was mixed - started with one of the specials: "Red & Gold Beet Salad" @ $17 - it was beautiful, but the white truffle vinaigrette was flavorless so the salad was bland. Tried another special: "Steak Diane" @ $40 - ordered medium-rare and it was way undercooked. Couldn't bring myself to eat it. The Grilled Rib Eye was good - was also on the rare side but husband doesn't mind. It was a treat to have some live music (Kendall Dean) - she was super. Servers were friendly.

We had dinner at Petite Percebes/Good Bones on a trip to the Mendocino area in April…read more The service was pleasant and friendly, the space felt comfortable with both tables and couches (no live music at the time we visited), and everything we ate was delicious and nicely presented! Our favorites were: + Broiled oysters with bone marrow butter, Parmesan crema, and breadcrumb: although I'm not usually a huge fan of oysters, I did enjoy these particular ones! + Lemon cream pie with tangerine, lemon curd, brown butter graham, citrus marigold Chantilly: we split one slice of this pie, but I could've eaten a few more slices of the pie by myself (if my stomach had space left). Perfect ending to the meal. + Primavera panisse: crispy chickpea fritters topped with a variety of greens and flower petals. + Yuzu marigold kombucha (Wilder x Petite Percebes collaboration): this was a refreshing, lightly sweet complement to the heavier dishes of the meal. We also tried the cassoulet (which had roasted chicken thigh, Roundman's garlic sausage, pork belly, Heirloom beans - a heartier meaty dish); and the potato chowder with oyster mushrooms, spring greens, and wild nettle pistou (we loved the mushrooms in it). This spot is worth stopping by!

Inside was huge! Giant bar, tons of tables for dining, along with a stage where it looked like they hosted live music! We ordered our meals up at the front counter and took a seat in the dining area. I ordered a Golden State Mighty Dry cider and their grilled cheese sandwich with added caramelized onions and mushrooms. We were the only people inside, but food came out quick. Everyone was a huge fan of their meals. I loved my sandwich, the bread was absolutely delicious. Also was a huge fan of those mushrooms they used! We ended up leaving with a fresh baked loaf of bread when we left too for home. Service was great, food was on point, and loved the vibe they had going. Would love to come back to see some music one of these days.
