Strange, considering there is no service from the staff after the order is placed at the window. The water in the bathroom was dangerously scalding hot. I told the mistress at the counter and she complained about the management not doing their job, and scoffed at me for suggesting they at least put a sign up to warn the poor dirty souls who soil their hands with grease and whatnot. The garden atmosphere is lovely, a redemptive quality to the unsettling experience.

We couldn't find seating in the beautiful garden, so we just grabbed our food and drove down to the coast to eat with a view. We ordered the N'duja (with capers and olives on only one half, since l'm not a fan), and we both thoroughly enjoyed our respective slices. We're usually "ranch people" when it comes to pizza, but even though they don't offer any, I'm happy to say the pizza was so delicious on its own that it didn't miss a beat. It took about 45 minutes for our order to be ready. It was super convenient to get a text notification so we could go for a walk around town in the meantime. We were genuinely sad to find out they were closed the next day because we wanted it all over again!

On a North Coast vacation, we were in Mendocino for the day. On our list to try was Frankie's, as…read morethey serve Cowlick's ice cream from Fort Bragg, which we have long been fans of. We were fortunate to come by when there was hardly any line, a good start. With all the buzz about Candy Cap Mushroom ice cream I just had to try it. My wife chose the Hokey Pokey (described as honeycomb candy ice cream with lots of honeycomb candy pieces). We grabbed our ice cream and found a number of inside tables to relax in and enjoy our sweets. There are also upstairs and outside tables. My wife loved her Hokey Pokey, and I tried it as well and agreed - a unique concoction and delicious! I found my Candy Cap Mushroom OK, but not a favorite. Certainly points for originality (where else can you find one?) but my tastebuds like something a little sweeter. For me it was a little too like vanilla, my least liked flavor. But I won't ding them for a personal preference, as there was nothing wrong with the quality. Great location for Mendocino ice cream - although maybe next time it's the Hokey Pokey for me.

Great food Excellent service…read more We stopped by after our dinner at Cafe Beaujolais and they gave 2 choices of time- 5pm or 7:30. We picked the later time. We were there probably until 9:30/9:45 pm and they were still sitting people! Our table oversaw the garden are.

We were definitely there for the vibes! This place serves simple, mostly authentic, and genuinely great Italian food. This is what we tried: Calamari: Crispy and perfectly delicious. Caesar Salad: A solid classic and you really can't go wrong with it. Tortellini Funghi Porcini: The absolute star of the meal! It was incredibly flavorful and absolutely delicious. If you only order one thing make it this. Fettuccine Gamberi Zucchini: It was good, but it didn't blow me away quite as much as the tortellini did. The staff were very nice and helpful throughout the evening. It is a bit on the pricey side, but completely worth it for the beautiful ambiance and experience. Highly recommend this cute spot if you're in the area!

Eggs Benedict were cooked to perfection with a genuine Hollandaise sauce. Thin Swedish style pancakes with real maple syrup and thick sliced bacon.

They do not include the tax when calculating the gratuity. Sadly many restaurants do that these days. While we didn't stay for dinner, the menu looks good and the wine corkage fee is only $20.

The place seems to do a good business and stopping by for an afternoon coffee was perfect. We ordered two large lattes and they really quenched the thirst for a pick-me-up coffee.

The baked goods seemed to disappear quickly. The cookies were delicious. It's a pleasant enough space and they have an amazing antique type stereo system playing classics. Very nice background music. This is definitely a place for a coffee or similar type cafe offering.

Cafe Beaujolais is THE Sunday brunch spot for this area. I don't even need to try the others to…read moretell you. As an annoying contrarian, I really hate giving anything 5 stars, especially a place that I think already gets enough love. But the food was just too good here. I really want to give it 4 stars because of the slight mishaps, but I just can't get the omelette out of my head enough to do it. If I had to describe the meal, it's normal brunch food on steroids. We ordered the mushroom omelette, pork belly fried rice, and a fruit cup. Sounds pretty normal right? Well, the mushroom omelette certainly looked normal, and then proceeded to light up all my taste buds on the first bite. The way they've seasoned this thing is just wonderful. FULL of butter and cheese, with this really immensely pleasurable saltiness throughout. And the mushrooms were not the ordinary brown and white button tops you normally get. It didn't have a single basic-ass mushroom in it. It was filled with enoki and oyster mushrooms, all fried beautifully with none of that watery gross taste. I'm not normally a mushroom fanatic at restaurants, but I absolutely gobbled this down. And plus, the potatoes on the side, as the picture shows, were gorgeously roasted. The pork belly fried rice was something else... much more in-your-face boldness in terms of flavor, almost too much for a breakfast dish and quite heavy. But very addicting. I was really pleased to find that all the rice was actually crispy, like it would be at the bottom of a hot stone bibimbap. They also do NOT skimp on the pork belly and shrimp pieces in it. It went down a treat. I was definitely not expecting to be impressed by a damn fruit cup, but I think the picture speaks for itself. It included nectarines and figs, which was a surprise, all perfectly ripe and fresh. My girlfriend also ordered the highball cocktail. It was not too sweet and pretty refreshing. The bad: Coffee was garbage, way too bitter. And the restroom situation isn't that great. But overall, the food was just too good to remove a star. The bill ended up being around $71 before tip. Book well in advance and don't skip this place. Next time, I'm trying dinner here!

It had several tables with wood chips on the ground and a small stage for live music but when I went there was a tv playing. I went for a late lunch and they had lunch specials before 3pm.

The tater tots were a decent portion, crunchy and fluffy. I also ordered a cup of their tomato bisque which was creamy and with flavorful tomato chunks. The service was great two servers came by a lot and they brought my dog a bowl of water. If I ever return to Mendocino I will definitely come by and try their other dishes. Recommended!

The scallops were nicely seared with a lemon sauce - i would have liked a little more lemon sauce on them but they were good Finally the dessert was a Dubai bar - here i think they got a little lazy. They took a chocolate mousse and just sprinkled some crushed pistachio praline on top ( see pic). This should have been integrated into the layers . Overall a very good experience and the service was very good.

The fish was fresh, light, and not heavy with grease at all. I could tell the fries were homemade along with the tartar sauce. My partner eas craving classic eggs benedict and he got exactly what we was looking for. The sauce, the English muffins, and the eggs were perfectlly cooked! The potatoes were not greasy at all. They check in on you at your table and make sure your drinks are always full. Their hot coffee drinks in the morning also were fresh ; there was not one thing we could complain about we wanted to order another round of food it was good with a very vast menu! Price wise for two people was very very reasonable we spent about 80 bucks including coffee drinks and dessert so if you're looking for reasonable and budget friendly this is it!! This place is a must and we were so sad we saved this place for last while leaving Fort Bragg. We will be back and HIGHLY recommend stopping by here for the service and food!
