Delish! From the moment you walk in 1888 doesn't disappoint...great lighting, music nice and at a level that encourages conversation and spot on service making for any overall great vibe. Our server, Angela, never missed a beat when we ordered things out of order, took way too many pics of our food...and the food was great form poke to steak to cheesecake. Must go if you are in Eureka!

The fruity rum drink!

I was so excited to try this new restaurant in the Eagle House! The owners of this place really know how to decorate and make an old town Victorian feel cozy. There is a nice lounge area in the front and a more intimate dining area in the back. We arrived early, just after they opened thinking we'd do cocktails & appetizers. We arrived excited to be there and we were met with a very unwelcoming hostess. With a completely EMPTY restaurant she told us we would be the ONLY people seated tonight without a reservation and then took a call right in front of us while we were waiting to be seated. Then after she hung up the phone, made us stand there waiting to be seated while she wrote her effing dissertation in the reservation book. So that was kind of a bummer. But we were NOT going to let her ruin our date night! We were seated and our server was awesome. Super friendly and attentive. Had great food & cocktail recommendations. We had the clam chowder to start, and it was more like a watery seafood stew with extra potatoes. Not that creamy chowder we were hoping for. We ordered 2 delicious cocktails. Then we had the poke tower and the crab cakes appetizers. YUM!! Both delicious. My only complaint was the plate the poke bowl was served on had all of this water on it. Maybe from the seaweed? It might have been better served in a bowl. When we left at around 7, the tables were about half full and so was the lounge. On a Saturday night. So I'm not sure what the hostess was talking about. I wonder if she would have turned us away if we had arrived then? Anyway, good help is hard to find in Humboldt County!

Wild mushroom and duck risotto!

Get here now and indulge your senses! Wonderful upgrade to the historic eagle house! First off the build out is amazing, and the interior design aone should let you know what heaven awaits your taste buds inside! Wonderful Snacks, Great Drinks, and Delicious Mains with excellent service...wow.. there currently is not an equal for this flavor county wide, try for yourself and see! We sat in Dani's section and she couldn't have been more on point. Her knowledge of the menu, the drinks and the current pace of the kitchen left us zero surprises, and it was packed. We tried multiple drinks, all the fresh fish (poke,lomi), and we were very impressed! Danis reccomendations were spot on, and you could tell she had tasted everything she reccomended, her attention details and flavors were second to none. Overall what a great meal! Well done and we will be back!!!

Old Fashion

Located below our room at the Inn at 2nd & C, the decor of Tavern 1888 is warm and inviting. Was a little dark to read the menu but that could have been because we just drove 7 hours to get here and my eyes were drowsy. Day two of our 16 day vacation. Ordered an Old Fashion and a Filet. Upon first glance, I thought that the sauce was going to over power the taste of the steak but the two complimented each other very nicely. The waitstaff was very nice and personable.

El Pastor dish. 10/10!

This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars! I've been here twice now, first for prom and the second time tonight. When I heard they were closing I was so sad to lose this place. It made an outstanding impression the first time and I couldn't wait to go back. Tonight was just as amazing. The staff is so kind and attentive. The food is some of the best in Humboldt and I'm disappointed I didn't come more often. This place is truly a gem and a loss for our community. The restaurant has an intimate atmosphere and elegant decor. I definitely recommend you go before they close on August 31st!!

Great food, music (yacht rock), ambience, drinks & dessert. Pasta was phenomenal. Sweet way to deliver the check... in a customizable book

Oysters

Really good food and drinks in a cozy old hotel. Really enjoyed the local oysters from nearby Humboldt Bay. I'll definitely be back.

We enjoyed our dinner here so much. Our server was friendly and helpful. The bread and oil plate comes with 5 large pieces of warm focaccia bread, and my husband said, "that's too much!" I quickly replied, "no it isn't!!!" The bread was perfect. We had the mango noodle appetizer and it was very good and fresh. We also had the chapli kebab. We had never had this before and found it delicious! I am hoping to recreate it once we're home again. Our main was seared scallops and they were cooked perfectly. The meal was innovative and we only wished we lived closer to go back again.

Halibut catch of the day
Diane S.

What a delicious meal and beautiful surroundings! This restaurant is a gem here in Eureka. I had the catch of the day: halibut with bok choy, brussel sprouts and roasted potatoes. I couldn't eat it all because the portion was quite generous, but I wanted to. If I lived here it would be my go-to place for a nice meal out!

Non alcoholic coffee mocktail
Chelle L.

This place is incredible!! Best modern/hip restaurant in Humboldt! Everything was delicious- the non-alcoholic cocktail, Sasspresso and the alcoholic Turkish delight coffee cocktails were amazing.. Entrees were the shrimp, cod and grits.. the best grits I've ever had! The mushroom vegan dinner was very fresh and good. For dessert, the lemon pound cake trifle was fabulous! Service was wonderful even though they were very busy the night we came. Already excited for my next visit!
