So I had to post an update. We just finished a grueling drive. We were starving and it was 9:30pm…read more Eel River was a logistical choice. Our service was 5 star which helped since we were exhausted. I have a super strong recommendation for the Cali 101 sandwich. It might be one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The fried parmesan on the tops of the bread sealed the deal. My wife asked for a custom burger. Mind you, the kitchen was closing but chef pulled off a beautiful dish. I don't normally photo food but wish I did. My wife goes bun-less and they served the dish on a bed of spinach (which she requested and they had to dig for it). To do all that as the kitchen is closing says something. They could have just thrown it on top. I am completely stealing that one. I love amber ale and they make a good one. I hope we can squeeze one last visit in before we leave.

Amy was our waitress, and she made the entire experience amazing from start to finish. She was…read moreincredibly helpful when it came to choosing our drinks and appetizers. The onion rings were absolutely brilliant, and the Organic IPA was also fantastic. What really stood out was how well Amy understood the drinks menu -- she listened to the kinds of flavors we were looking for, answered all of our questions, and recommended drinks that matched exactly what we wanted. She also had a great sense of humor that made us feel completely at home. On top of that, the atmosphere was incredible -- even the people around us were interactive and engaged in conversation despite us not knowing each other. The whole night was filled with great energy, shared laughs, and an overall memorable experience.

We loved this place so much the first time we came back for another dinner…read more We ordered the beef ragu - it was sooo hearty and delicious! I felt like it was definitely big enough to share for two. Really rich and comforting, perfect for the weather. If you're looking for a nice dinner, don't hesitate to come here!

Maybe a better place for just drinks and great service?…read more Execution on food could be a lot better. The food that needed the least amount of cooking were the stars. Aka the salad that comes on the side and the creamed spinach. I had the surf and turf that which comprised of ONE scallop and pork belly. The food came out cold and wished it was better tasting. They did reheat it after my complaint. My husband had the fried chicken (not pictured). The chicken was crunchy but that's bc the batter on the chicken was hard. Our server was really nice and attentive.

We had a small table for two with a nice view of the bay. Didn't have to wait to be seated (it was…read morea Thursday). Our server was very pleasant and let us know the special of the day, a halibut dish with a creamy pepper sauce. Debating between that and another dish, we asked her recommendation and she suggested the fish. So we did it. My wife and I traditionally split meals at restaurants, because they generally give you so much food, you leave uncomfortably stuffed. We prefer leaving comfortably satisfied. So we split the Arugula Salad. They bring complementary bread with a garlic butter or basalmic and olive oil. We preferred the basalmic. The garlic butter wasn't very garlicky. But the salad was excellent. They split it for us for a small upcharge. The Halibut was excellent. We had to split it ourselves, but that was not a problem for us. It was served over couscous and was excellent. A bit small to split, so we added a cheesecake dessert with ganache. Very good. We paired it all with a Cabernet from the Oakville area of Napa (where we had just visited) and it was excellent as well. Our server was attentive. The pacing of our meal was very well done. Not too long between check-ins, but also not rushed. We recommend!

If you're in the area, **GO TO CAMPGROUND.** Seriously…read more I walked in not knowing anyone, and before I even really knew what was going on, Eli came out from behind the bar to personally welcome me in. That immediately set the tone for the entire night. After talking for a bit, he found out I was up here for the university, that I'm a firefighter and Marine, and that it happened to be my birthday. From that point on, he absolutely made the experience. His recommendations were spot on. I ended up going with the filet mignon and asparagus, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was **one of the best steaks I've ever had.** Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. Eli also paired it with a drink that was absolutely amazing. I wish I could remember the name of it because whatever he picked was PERFECT with the steak. It did have Black Berries iirc. The food alone is worth coming here for, but Eli's hospitality is what made Campground stand out. I came in as a complete stranger and left feeling like I had been coming here for years. **Campground just earned a customer for as long as I'm up here.**

A lovely neighborhood bistro with an inviting feel and incredibly friendly staff…read more The chef melds a bunch of different flavors and cooking styles to create a whole new set of interesting dishes. From the fresh flavors of the vegetables to the delicious and rich consommé broth, there is a lot to like in Smalls take on comfort food. We certainly did. The restaurant is small and has a skeleton crew of staff, but they don't miss a beat and provide an excellent dining experience for all their guests. There's a nice list of California regional wines by the glass or bottle, and a local selection of beers and hard cider. It seemed that the biggest hit of the evening was the deserts. To a table on the night we dined, everyone was eating the desserts. My only regret from the evening is that we didn't eat the desserts because we had to go in a bit of a last minute dash. Oh well, all the more reason to come back.

It's a smaller place, with just a nice little coffee shop vibe. My server was Abigail. She was very friendly. I asked her if the name of the restaurant was a play on the TV show "Hells kitchen," and she confirmed that yes, it was. I thought it was clever. I decided to have the "vegetable mess. " Potatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, mild green chiles and eggs, "all messed up". It came Topped with jack cheese, salsa and sour cream. I had them leave off the bell peppers, and I paid a little bit more for them to add mushrooms and spinach. The "mess" came, and it was huge!! It was also delicious! The eggs were fluffy, you could definitely taste the garlic, and all of the veggies played very well with each other. The cheese was delicious, and it was just the right amount The chilies had a good flavor, and yes, they were mild The potatoes were good, and just the right texture as well. I liked the sour cream, and the salsa was not spicy at all. It had a bit of a smoky flavor. The thing was so huge, I had some to take home. The toast was a good quality sourdough, the coffee was great, and they kept my cup full. The price was reasonable. Thanks for a great breakfast. I will be back.

On top of that, the entire facility was exceptionally clean, and having live sports playing was a fantastic add-on to the vibe. When it comes to the food, the portions are incredibly generous and you definitely get plenty of food for what you pay. However, while the quantity and value are there, the actual quality of the food could be improved a bit. Overall, it was a really good experience! If they can just elevate the food quality a notch, this place would be a 5/5. Still highly recommend stopping by for the great hospitality and atmosphere!
