This usually doesn't happen at restaurants. What the waiter failed to tell me is that the lamb meatballs are spicy, and we also didn't hear the day's specials. Lamb meatballs: good but too spicy for me. When I commented on this, the waiter said, "oh yes, I should have mentioned they do have a bite" We also ordered the duck (good--nothing too special) , French onion soup (delicious), and a chicken terrine (interesting and tasty, served with a pesto sauce and bread) Overall, a pleasant atmosphere and food experience.

The service was great, our waiter/server was very nice and answered all our questions, he checked in on us often and offered what we needed when we needed it Drinks : we'll be coming back to try their margaritas and such, they have such a long menu of different variations / flavors we're excited for, but only ordered soft drinks this time around, I'm pregnant currently so we'll be back down the road when drinking is something I'll be able to participate in again. Food: food was great ! My husband ordered street tacos and loved them, they had great flavor and each bite had enough of everything. I ordered the grilled chicken taco salad, the one in the crispy tortilla shell bowl- loved it ! The shell was perfect, it added such a great crunch, the salad itself was good, and we had a lot of leftovers to take home as well ! The restaurant itself is super cute with a nice ambiance ! The tables and restaurant were super decorated and they had fun music going too so the vibe was super pleasant and we were just happy to be there. Definitely recommend :)

Worst dining experience we've had on this trip so far…read more My fiancé and I are road-tripping up the 101, and we knew restaurants in our destination city would be closed by the time we arrived, so we intentionally stopped in Arcata around 6 PM to grab dinner well ahead of time. We ordered a California burrito, chicken enchiladas and a side of tortillas to go. We were told the food would take about 20 minutes and it ended up taking closer to 30, which honestly wasn't a big deal. If anything, I assumed that meant everything was being made fresh. Unfortunately, when I took my first bite of the enchiladas, there was nothing inside except cheese. I checked again to make sure I wasn't somehow missing the chicken and then brought it to the staff's attention. Instead of offering to remake the meal, they offered to bring me shredded chicken on the side so I could essentially open up the enchiladas and stuff them myself. In my car. That alone was frustrating, but then I realized I had also been charged for three sides of tortillas instead of the one side I ordered. The original receipt was voided and I was made to repay for the burrito and all three sides of tortillas. They took back my enchilada plate, but I was still left paying for tortillas I had specifically ordered to eat alongside the enchiladas, with no enchiladas to actually eat them with. What really turned this into a 1-star experience was how the situation was handled. Pickup initially felt friendly, but once I pointed out the mistake, the interaction did a complete 180 and became rude and dismissive. I even explained that this was my only real dinner option for the night because of where we were headed, and they still wouldn't offer to remake the enchiladas. This all happened before 7 PM, and the restaurant doesn't close until 9 PM. Mistakes happen. Forgetting the chicken could have been fixed incredibly easily. Offering me a DIY solution in my car instead of simply remaking the meal is what made this such a disappointing experience.

Although the sunset did not provide, as it was a cloudy day, we enjoyed good service, amazing clam chowder, and our dinners were exceptional. Plus!I They provided bread with a couple of dipping sauces to the table. (And although we didn't know it, we needed this and it was amazing!) If you were in the area, I wouldn't miss it. The setting is in an old Victorian home, and although visitors do not have access to the entire house, what is available certainly meets all needs.

The service staff waits on the tables for food but you have to go the the bar for drinks. Not my favorite vibe but it seems to work. We would go back for more lobster rolls!

Staff overall were great, and our waiter was very professional. The menu looks really good and as the name implies, there's a lot of seafood options for dinner. Someone got the fish and chips which was pricier than other places BUT it came with FOUR pieces instead of the usual three. I did the Snapper Almandine which was so good so amazingly delicious, I would absolutely eat that again. the polenta side tho was probably my favorite of the night, so crispy on the outside and soft and tender inside, flavor was amazing . If they piled high on a dinner plate and served that for 30 I would take it!!! I'll be very curious to try one of the steaks next time and see how it compares with other restaurants in town that I hear recommended often. The only minor issue was trying to get a replacement water glass after we first sat down because of lipstick print on the glass. I hate talking too loud in restaurants so thankfully the hostess noticed us before long. I feel for the kitchen staff, those oils do not wipe off cleanly and I often wonder how it is removed from cloth napkins.

We were quickly seated and water was brought over and that our server came to take our drink order. They had specialty cocktails, beer, and wine and a full bar. I just wanted a glass of wine, and i did get a glass of wine. However, I would say the choices for by the glass wine was not great. The food however, was excellent! We started with the Dungeness crab cocktail, which was a very nice portion for two. Then we followed with a cup of clam chowder that we shared. We each had a house salad that I thought was delicious. I had vinaigrette on mine and my husband have thousand island on his. He has been on this eternal search for the best thousand island dressing and he swears by this one! We also split tonight, special of Halibut with a white wine, garlic butter sauce, and Shitake mushrooms. It was not only the perfect portion size, but extremely good! We skipped dessert, but moved to the bar for a nightcap where we met a local guy and a few other visitors...it was very fun...everyone was very friendly! If you're passing through and you would like a good dinner, I would suggest this location.

Update: Came back here after four years and this place has really gone downhill. We came as a party…read moreof 8 on a Saturday. Got sat down right away at 5:30. Asked about the happy hour and was told it's only at the bar and patio. Our table is literally between the bar and patio. Server said we can order at the bar and bring it to the table ourselves. Weird! At the bar, we waited patiently as there seemed to be a lot of confusion at the bar cashier and general chaos. There were swarms of flies EVERYWHERE. One even landed on my sister's face while talking! We finally got our drinks and he sent the tab back to the table anyway. What was the point of making us order at the bar? Even more weird! We ordered 6 oysters, but couldn't decide whether to get fresh or grilled. The server suggested both so my husband said sure. A dozen oysters came out. Way to upsell us. I tried to order a cocktail off of their menu and they were out of the ingredients on a Saturday night. I ordered grilled cheese off the bar menu for my four year old. They brought out pastrami panini instead. By the time the correct order came out, he was no longer interested in eating. Grilled cheese was untouched. There is only two bathroom stalls for both genders at this restaurant. One was out of order so there was only one working bathroom for both men and women. My four year old was bent over in pain waiting in line for the bathroom to open. Thankfully he didn't have an accident. When we left the restaurant, there were four people waiting in line to use the restroom. Yikes! After an hour of waiting for our entree to arrive, I was pretty annoyed, but the food was actually good so I was ready to brush all the other annoyances off. But then we asked for the check. The server says their system is down so they can only accept cash. We don't have enough cash to cover dinner for 8. After 15 minutes of waiting around, the server says she will take a check! We don't carry around our check book on vacation. After another 15 minutes of waiting, the server offers her personal Zelle. What a joke. No wonder there was so much confusion at the bar when we first sat down. It's been down this whole time and they never mentioned it! It would have been courteous of them to let us know BEFORE WE ORDERED that it was going to be cash only. Also, they took our credit card information when we made our reservation so they could have charged to it when the system was back up. The food was a lot better this time, but I'll never be back. It's too bad because the view really is gorgeous. The flies and bad service is enough of a turn off. We will keep an eye on our card statement to make sure they don't double charge us.
