My friends and I went for my birthday dinner last night and we weren't disappointed! One friend had the salmon special (cooked perfectly..sauce was amazing!), the other the bacon blue burger (best bun she's ever had, burger was super juicy) and I had the "Pig" - which is hands down the best mac and cheese I've ever tasted!!! Service was great and we lived the variety of art on the walls!! This is my new favorite restaurant and I'm already making plans to go back!! read more

Smalls has such a flair in the kitchen for amazing food and amazing service. Me and my wife were looking for a dog friendly place to eat and Smalls was gracious enough to let us come in with ours . Mind you our dogs are very well behaved so we were just grateful for them allowing us. They even brought out a dog bowl for water . The vibe was just really beautiful and decorated beautifully. It's perfect for date nights or family dinners. Service was amazing, we had Emma and Matt, between them both we were taken care of from all angles. The food was pretty delicious , I got their chicken artichoke... the sauce was amazing, the chicken was tender, the shrimp was delicious. My wife got the eggplant parmigiana, she absolutely love the eggplant and but she said the sauce and the pasta was ok. She did enjoy it overall. We closed it all off with their Colombian coffee creme brulee. The flavors were there but the custard did not sit appropriately... so it was a little more liquid and warm. The flavors were there so we enjoyed it. We love the heart that Smalls has in its ambitious nature and know they will only grow from here. If we lived in the area this would probably be a regular for us to go to. It seems like the chef loves to try new things and have new specials so you just can't go wrong with that. read more

I suggest making reservations!! Crazy busy, especially today on a Friday dinner rush. Quality/Quantity - We got lucky! As we got here, a nice lady gave up her counter top seating so we would not have to wait, THANK you! So today we got the following: Dirty Beto Burger - My daughter's option, and it was a home run; well ALL of our dishes were a home run! Bolo Pasta - My wife's order, another good dish. I just would have preferred more. Just being greedy. LOL. And I got more wings for my dinner (had wings for lunch also at Viethai in Santa Rosa; see other 5 star reviews). Actually, these wings were even better (slightly better). The flavor, slight kick, etc. And to wash it all down, I got the local Mad River Brewing Steelhead Extra Pale Ale. So smooth and refreshing, especially in a frosted glass. All orders were made to order, so please be patient. Ambiance - Very small local business. Service - 6 stars. From Matty, our very experienced waiter to the owner chef. Matty was so professional, I actually enjoyed watching him work. Work the tables, train the day-one waitress, communicate with the chef, etc. So impressive. Price - $65 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since opening in mid 2025. We will be regular customers but next time we will make reservations ahead of time. BTW - You are the talk of the town! Congrats again. read more

10/10!! Been wanting to try this place and I'm so glad we did!! Amazing service--loved our waitress, Emma-- she took care of us the whole night and was so sweet, made us feel very welcome. The restaurant is located in a place where you might overlook but it's a hidden gem. Really cute and cozy inside and the food! Everything we tried was 10 out of 10, the chicken was cooked perfectly--not too dry at all. Mashed potatoes were amazing, asparagus had a really good grilled flavor and the crab fat wings! Omg Crispy wings, hard to come by in Humboldt County, can't wait to come back. This will be our new place. Happy to have Smalls here in Eureka! read more

The location of this restaurant is in Eureka port city, in California, on the way to Redwood National and State Parks on US-101, so it's a pretty convenient stop. Parking is a street parking, also check side roads like O st. Restaurant is small but cozy with attentive and kind staff. Both bolo and crudo pasta were delicious and light. read more

The restaurant was super busy when we walked in and we were afraid we weren't going to be able to eat at this amazing place. We were so lucky that we did, the food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the crabfat chicken wings which were perfect. I loved the hint of crabfat and spice and the crispy chicken. We also ordered the squash pasta and pork belly which was one of their specials for the night. It was absolutely amazing, I loved the creamy pasta and the bites of squash with the seasoned pork belly. Street parking available here. Absolutely amazing meal, thank you for having us! read more

This place is such a hidden gem--quaint, comforting, and full of heart. The food was absolutely fantastic and bursting with flavor. The bolognese pasta dish is a must-try--so rich and delicious! I also had a vegetarian dish that was perfectly done. The staff were beyond wonderful--friendly, organized, and so welcoming. You can truly feel the pride and care they put into every detail. An all-around beautiful dining experience! read more

Have staying at Eureka for the last couple days during my camping trips by the redwoods and wow as someone from SoCal this joint's comfort food has cured my homesickness & made me feel like I was in Laguna Beach again. The inside has a very warm & cozy feel with a more rustic interior complimenting the outside environment of eureka. The service has been great at describing the meals and kept the ship tight. The lamb meatballs were terrific & super saturating. The Gruyère, brothy gravey, parsley, and caramelized onions added a rich & savory taste. While the meatballs themselves were packed in a more spiced flavor, from what I'm assuming was coriander/or cloves. Not much to say about the garlic bread that paired with the gravy terrifically as garlic bread never disappoints lol. Had the coffee creme brûlée for dessert and the custard tasted like tiramisu made into pudding. Could not have had a better meal during my journey through NorCal so far :) read more

Street parking only. I parked along the street right after the location. Small restaurant 7 or so tables. Nicely decorated. Friendly service. We didn't have to wait long to get our entrees. We got the Bolo, Chicken wings, Salmon, pork chops. They were all perfectly cooked and seasoned. Spent prior week in San Francisco and this place was the best food I've had so far in Northern California. Highly recommend! read more

Found this little gem in the middle of a very busy street and decided to give them a try. So glad we did. The place is small but done simply but nicely to make it a charming comfortable place to be. The food we had, all of them, were inventive and amazing without being pretentious. Service was great. Staff were friendly. I believe they are probably still ironing out some new business kinks. Looking forward to coming back to try more of their dishes! Sorry no photos since our food got disappeared too quickly and we simply forgot to. read more

Had family visiting from LA and Boston and wanted to satisfy several different tastes and dietary restrictions. Smalls turned out to be just the ticket! We were seated promptly (making reservations helped. The reserved table was the only empty one), any questions were answered, and a remarkable variety of food was served up in very short order. We'll be back! read more

Went here based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. The place is small, but what it lacks in location, it makes up for in charm, comfort, and flavor. Being a Tuesday evening, it was slow and uncrowded. Our service was attentive, but not overbearing. Our meals were delicious. We got the Winter Pig Mac which was a curly pasta covered in a delicious and rich (but not overpowering) cheese sauce, butternut squash, and succulent morsels of tender pork. We also had the special of the night which was a chopped beef sandwich made with chopped ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and pickles with a scrumptious dressing with a little kick of horseradish. My description does not do this sandwich justice. Sometimes the simplicity allows for more of the essence to shine through. We chased this all down with Humboldt Ciders of which they have a nice selection. For dessert we shared a chocolate mocha creme brûlée which was divine! A decadent rich dark chocolate creme with a perfectly crunchy chocolate sugar topping which was torched just enough to elude to a burnt flavor without ruining the experience. We give all meals 10/10. Give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

Came here for brunch. Their brunch menu differs from their dinner menu, so no eggplant parmesan. I had the braised mushrooms and eggs over a croissant with potatoes. It was yummy. Service was fast and friendly. Casual sit down atmosphere with a trendy vibe. read more

Great new (opened May 2025) eatery in Eureka. We chanced by this spot on our way to find lunch and we were not disappointed. Great food, friendly service and the space is cute and full of interesting art. Kind of on the small side so if you're bringing a bigger group than 4, you might want to call ahead. We got the Bizniscut and the frittatas, super tasty and the side of potato's was perfectly cooked. They only serve brunch on Sunday, check out the pic for dinner hours. We can't wait to go back to try more items on the menu. Great new spot with amazing eats, my biscuit was light, the chicken perfectly fried with a light honey drizzle & a couple slices of ham to round out that salty sweet combo. Had a refreshing iced tea but we spied a nice vino selection to go with the dinner menu. Parking off to the side is a good idea as it's on 5th St/101 northbound. read more

An all-over perfect, delicious restaurant! Wait staff greeted us and, though the restaurant was full, we were seated promptly because we had a reservation (strongly advised). We started with the Warm Winter Salad, a perfect blend of vegetables, crunch, and tangy dressing. I could eat this salad everyday and gotta try to duplicate it at home. We each had a nightly special: Salmon and Pork Chop. The excellent Salmon came with perfectly cooked asparagus and a delicious pesto penne pasta. The tender Pork Chop was complimented with a savory mushroom gravy and perfectly seasoned steak fries. We could eat dinner here every night! read more

Great food , very good hospitality and lovely ambience. The place seems new but hosts are very caring and we loved every dish we ordered from the menu. Will visit again on my next Eureka trip. Highly recommended. read more

The food and service is really good. The portions were "small ". I had a couple of things that the restaurant could improve on. Their price for wine by the glass is a bit higher than most. Especially for the wine offerings they offer. read more

Our aunt was visiting last weekend from Redding, and she had heard about Smalls Fusion Comfort, and suggested we go there! We didn't know that we should have gotten a reservation... Fortunately, they were able to squeeze us in! We all ordered different things, I got the Chicken Cacciatore! We also shared two of the desserts... Everything was so well prepared! The flavors were balanced. The portions were good. Service was prompt and good. Nice selection of wines to choose from! We look forward to returning! Definitely need to get reservations! read more

So many great choices on the menu, each with their own temptations. Choose the Bolo which is spaghetti sauce with beef and pork on bucatini pasta. Waitress was attentive but not intrusive. Serving size was just right with lots of sauce. Great experience for a new small restaurant. read more

I love everything about the new addition to our restaurant scene. The humble, small front of the house is cozy and welcoming while still giving you privacy and room to visit. The servers are friendly and curious with the right balance of making you feel welcome but giving you space. We have returned several times and every dish has been on-point! They use fresh local ingredients and let diners know when local goods are used. The menu reminds me of eating out in New Orleans. Comfort food elevated, I'm so glad to welcome this new coming restaurant to Eureka. read more

My wife and I heard about this new restaurant and decided to try it out. The food was really amazing. I had the rockfish special it was served with broccolini, mushrooms and spinach and was seasoned perfectly. My wife had the chicken special served with mashed potatoes, shrimp, broccolini and artichokes. I snuck a bite and really enjoyed it. For an appetizer we split a 2 beet salad with pickled and roasted beets. It was very good. Our server was wonderful and friendly and took good care of us. We will be back. read more

Smalls is delicious! We had dinner last Saturday and the food was fantastic from start to end! With four of us sharing, we were able to order a number of items off both the main menu and the specials list. The dragon balls were our favorite off the main menu, although the meatballs and bolo we're also delicious. We had the lamb special and the market vegetables. The lamb came with blue cheese mash potatoes. So good! We all agreed it was our favorite. The market vegetables came in a delicious sauce over grits. Again, amazing! Our desserts -- peach cobbler with ice cream and chocolate cake -- were inspired as well. I'll also note that our server was eager to know what we thought, saying that the chef wanted feedback. I get the feeling this place will only get better with time. Do not miss that excellent new restaurant! I didn't know it existed until I drove by one evening and saw people inside. The space is cute even if the location isn't ideal. And the food really was that good! read more

Passing through and tried Smalls based on Yelp reviews. It lived up to its 5 star rep. The Crabfat Chicken Wings were crispy, the right amount of spicy and with a hint of crab - a fan fav. My 2Beet Salad met my craving for healthy and savory veggies. My son's Special Burger included a fried crab cake with macaroni. I don't know how they did it, but each dish was a taster's delight. Also the server was friendly and the atmosphere artsy. Highly recommend. read more

Cozy Bistro Brunch. Although the servings were on the smaller side they were just the right portions. We ordered the Bzniskit and Huevos Verde y Jamon ( green eggs and ham). Both were delicious. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The green chili gravy was flavorful and not spicy. Different and delicious. The fried potatoes and onions were crispy , flavorful and puffy little gems. No ketchup needed. Will definitely return next time we are in town. Good prompt service with a smile to boot. read more

We visited Eurica and had a wonderful dinner at Smalls. Everything we ordered was delicious. The beets prepared in two ways was the first dish and it obviously made with great care and attention to flavor and detail. The mac was creamy a bit spicy and awesome . The burger was juicy and flavorful. The bucatini was decadent. The lamb chop was tender and cooked to perfection. And the Halibut special was a great dish. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We couldn't help but compliment the chef on his exceptional culinary skills. He came out to thanked us, making our dining experience truly memorable. Would definitely recommend. read more

Wonderful! Loved the food - very high quality with an intimate atmosphere and nice staff. The chef/owner Scott can cook. Loved it!

Phenomenal! I was curious about this new restaurant opening up and we decided to try last night. It's cute and small and the food is delicious.

We found this place on yelp. This place did not disappoint. The place is very clean and the staff amazing and friendly. The food is solid. I had the lamb shank that was solid. My wife had a pasta dish. It needed a touch more seasoning. If you want a fine dining experience in Humboldt....put this place on your list. We'll be back. read more

Really impressed with the elevated comfort food offered up at Smalls. Add to that a delightfully small venue that feels cozy and welcoming. The waitstaff were attentive without being intrusive. The prices were great! We had a hard time choosing but settled on the beets 2 ways-I think I might need this at every future visit, The Bolo-bucatini with meat sauce and the Cajun Mac which was truthfully better than anything I sampled in the French Quarter. We will be back to try more! read more

Wanted to give this new place a try. First, location is not ideal, no parking at all. The hostess/waitress was so sweet and attentive. Food was pretty good, only complaint would be i wish bread came with the food. Overall good experience, we'd eat here again. read more

Poor service. Went out on a date with my boyfriend who had made our reservation. When we arrive, the place is packed and we were seated at the end of someone else's table. Upon pulling out the chair, there was half eaten food still on the seat and the menu he had handed me. I feel bad for the one server on that evening, as it was busy. However, he was noticeably more attentive and personable to the two tables in the restaurant that they had known personally. He would ask us questions then immediately walk away without waiting for our response. When he walked up to take our order, he did just that. He approached our table and said absolutely nothing. After awkwardly assuming he was taking our order, we told him our orders, and we saw him write down the whole order. Then our food came out without the appetizer that we asked to come first. It never came at all. In fact, he had a conversation with the chef about not being able to deliver the appetizer, and didn't tell us at all, just took it off the bill. We appreciated the proactive response, but were disappointed when no one told us we weren't getting the appetizer we were waiting for. Lastly, right before we left, another table had stepped outside for a brief second, and they were given a warm goodbye, as he had known them, but as we were leaving after a disappointing service, not a word was uttered. The only good aspect of this restaurant was the food. The chefs crafted beautiful plates that tasted exceptional. We will not be returning. read more
