Walked in at 430 and there was only one piece of fried chicken left and they said they wouldn't make anymore.

As much as Iove visiting Arcata... the love is mostly for the scenery and the hikes. As far as…read morefabulous a fabulous food scene, this is not the town for it. Well, at least I thought that until I visited campground. This is definitely a five star restaurant in a small little town. Prices were steep, but worth it We enjoyed cocktails to start Ordered a bottle of wine to have with Dinner Amongst the three of us, we ordered two steaks and a variety of sides I personally ordered onion soup. Of course I did enjoy some steak from the boys The food was cooked perfectly The flavor was amazing The service was stellar I came back for a second visit just for a drink at the bar. The drinks are fabulous again. The service is also. I look forward to visiting again I do hear there's a seafood restaurant around the corner called salt. That's as good as campground.

We were well taken care of at Campground. We were staying in the area for our visit to the redwoods…read morenational park and decided on this place for dinner one of the nights. We bravely walked in on a Saturday around 7pm without a reservation and although they were all booked up for tables, we were lucky enough to grab two seats at the bar. There were two ladies working at the bar and they were very friendly, informative, and cheery. I was envious of their energy levels! For dinner, we ordered: - Bruschetta Panzanella Salad - our server gave us a heads up this is deconstructed bruschetta. It doesn't actually come on bread toasts so I'm glad she set that expectation - Vodka Cream Sauce Tagliatelle with Chicken - this was delicious and the chicken was grilled nicely with good flavor - New York Strip with mashed potatoes - this was also very good and the mashed potatoes were very smooth We ordered cocktails (the campfire & up a creek) both were great and the bartenders checked up on us often. We had a great experience and would recommend coming here. Best to have a reservation especially on the weekends but if you're a couple and willing to sit at the bar, it's worth a shot if you don't have a reservation. Cheers!

I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.

Good location. Food was hit-and-miss. Pizza and pasta were good but all the other dishes we ordered…read morehave wrong texture. Risotto's texture was like grit, overly cooked. Brussel sprouts were more like steamed not roasted. Pork chop was burnt and very very dry. Chef needs to go back to learn some basics. Service was not too good either; food was served real slow but the check was given real quick. Two of us were still eating yet the check was already placed on the table. Have no idea what was the rush as the restaurant was half empty :(

Hard one here. We have tried again and again, and we both…read moreremember a time when this place was the bees knees in old town Eureka. But alas, they have failed us in some way or another on our last four visits. It was her birthday dinner and we ordered a lot, so here goes... Sloppy, Under and Over Cooked, some things maybe good, but nothing at all was great. three apps: Arancini - over fried to a hard crunch, a bit far for my liking.. finding difficulty in cutting it with the edge of my fork. flavor ok but way overdone. Polenta with ragu great flavor but strange watery sauce and custard-ish texture to the Polenta. in my opinion, not well thought out or tasted. Gnocchi with black truffle - under cooked, almost raw very soft, no bite. cream sauce was good but the black truffle shavings had zero flavor, I could not taste or smell the essence of truffle at all. Cesar Salad - On point and delicious actually the star of the show. which that alone is terrible. sloppy plating. Lasagne Bolognese - Not super hot or evenly heated. One half of my Lasagne was Luke warm, the cheese inside on that side still solid. Bolognese was good but not great. Carbonarra - Not traditional, small skinny pasta which was al dented, but entirely Luke warm which ruined the dish. panchetta was crispy almost too crispy, but completely lacked the deliciously creamy rich consistency of a light egg sauce that the dish requires. this was dry, awfully luke warm and dry... it should be godly, divine, gently served, with a peppery personality... we pointed it out and showed it dry and cold when asked, but the waitress soured on us after that... drinks: Negroni - was ok but not great Whiskey Sour - was served on ice after being ordered and emphasized with no ice please. we were instructed after that we should have ordered it "Up" then it would have come with no ice... Ambiance: Drunk girl cackling at the bar from before we went in till after we left. she kept going into the kitchen and talking to the staff, that was the only time the ambiance was on point. her voice was sharp, she was loud, drunk, and I could hear her after we left 40' away from the door. Whomever you are visiting back there knows better. to the waitress with the long curly hair (tara?), thank you for always giving a shit, thank you for offering to help or remedy even though you were not our waitress. you've always been a star. unfortunately we won't be back. that's $500 over 4 visits in the last 3 years. 3 yrs ago the meal was so off that when the waiter could clearly see our issues with the mains they comped the whole meal... It's just not worth it anymore. we did a whole Italian meal tonight and none of it was up to par, all of which are staples in Italian cooking... consider straying from the Italian twist on the menu if it can't be done right . training, more training, , tasting, and iron fisted supervision is what this place needs... overpromised and under delivered. Luckily for you guys the majority of the humboldt food scene has no idea how bad this is... par for the course for up here...

This place is the best food I have had here in Humboldt, AND , the best part about this place, is…read morethat it is, as far as I know, the ONLY 24hr business in the whole county and every time I have been the staff is super nice and the food is like I said the best around. Super extensive menu and they also have cakes and baked goods as well which all look very enticing and delicious but I have not partaken. This menu is straight up huge though, like, anything you can think of it's probably up there. Ambiance is - well 1) i'm from a real city, so rating anything in humboldt on it's "ambiance" is a funny ask, but this place makes me feel like it's not illegal to be awake after midnight! So i'll take it. It's not like "cheap-cheap" but the food is good and you get what you pay for. Like, i'm poor, and I still wouldn't and don't complain about the prices cuz you get a lot of food, and it's all GOOD food, hella good, and they doing a real service to this otherwise completely dead after 6,7,8,9,pm ahh county/city/area by being open ALL THE TIME. I love that. Looooove that. Never change. 10 stars if i could.

So bland. I could not believe the absolute lack of any seasoning…read more We had omelets, the chedder omelet and the California omelet. Cheddar had hashbrowns, underdone and the cheese wasn't melted. I dont mean the omelet sat and the cheese got cold. It wasn't melted to begin with. Same with the cali omelet, cheese not melted. On the California omelet I had country potatoes, no seasoning, just bland. No flavor at all. We had English muffins, not toasted enough. The dessert case looked super yummy but after the bland bland food we passed. Staff was nice enough, you order at the counter and give a name. Surprise there were 2 people with the same name so someone else's food cane to our table first...it's going to have to be a hard pass.
