Always Trust the Gift Shop Lady. Always…read more We had just conquered the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse--which apparently requires climbing three flights of "not-quite-normal" stairs. After a morning canoe down the Big River and those stairs, we turned into ravenously hungry people. We asked the gift shop lady for food recommendations. Without skipping a beat, she said: "Patterson's Pub! If you get there before 2:00 PM, you can get brunch!" Challenge accepted. We took our appetites straight to Mendocino's main drag. They had a tented patio in the sunny-but-stubbornly-windy Mendocino air, but we opted for the interior. Good choice. It has the ultimate "Authentic Irish Pub" starter pack: Cool and dark? Check. Crisp draft beers? Check. Full bar? Check. The SF Giants game playing on multiple screens? Check and check. We successfully beat the 2:00 PM brunch buzzer, and the specials menu looked to good to pass up! Lobster Wontons (Pub Special): Gone in a literal flash. Blink and you missed them. Crabcakes Benedict (Pub Special): Hands down, the best this diner has ever had. The hollandaise sauce (which they kindly served on the side per request) was a lemony deliciousness! The Comfort Food Crew: The rest of the party ordered clam chowder (Boston), garlic bread, and a fried cod sammy with thin-cut fries. All around lip-smacking! The Liquid Refreshment: Paired it all with a half-pint of Scrimshaw Pilsner (shoutout to local Fort Bragg brewing). It hit the spot and paired perfectly with the crabcakes benedict! The "Too Spicy" Drama: We did hit one minor speed bump. One of the dishes turned out to be a bit too spicy for one of our sensitive diners (not me). The waitstaff deserve a medal here. They went out of their way to try and "de-spice" the meal. While my companion's tastebuds were past the point of return, the staff's effort and sweetness were noticed and much appreciated! . Excellent customer service. The Verdict: A wonderful, perfect meal for a weekend getaway in the Mendocino/Fort Bragg area. We will absolutely be back. Let this be a lesson to you all: always ask a local!

Great place to stop! Went in over Memorial Day weekend and we grabbed a spot at the bar. We had a…read morebeer and espresso martini. The martini was okay- very strong. We had the chicken Ceaser wrap and the crab cake special. Their dressing is delicious! We were so hungry I didn't even take food pics! Service was great.

Food is pretty good, although a bit pricey for the type of cuisine…read more Pizza is excellent and the right price and there's a full bar with fun bartenders and waitresses/waiters. live music outside on the patio on Sundays in the summer months, food served outside too. A fun crowd always & a nice place to relax with friends and enjoy. Did I mention... it's right on the lake with a beautiful view days and evenings. A pool table too. It's a nice place.

Companion and I went on a weekend roadtrip to Clearlake. Restaurant options that are dog friendly…read moreare limited, but The Boathouse Bar and Stowaway Grill was one of the better options for us. We came in the evening around sunset and sat outside since we had the pup. This is a great spot for lake views. It's casual and there's a decent amount of outdoor seating. Inside, we only passed in and out but it gave more of a restaurant and bar vibe for the locals. Service was friendly. To eat, I got the Turkey Bacon Avocado Sandwich. It was a good sandwich, basic but had the fixings and the fries were crispy. Companion got the Fish and Chips. Honestly, the quality and taste surpassed both of our expectations. The other items looked fine, typical American fare but a bit pricey for what it's worth. For those looking for a bite or drink with a nice view, I recommend Stowaway Grill only if you're in the area. They have a nice patio and parking outside. Find the off Lakeshore Blvd.
