Pre-dinner popcorn is a great touch, and it's top notch popcorn - crisp and salted well. Carrot salad - loved this. Smoky carrots roasted nice and soft with some sweetness, some crunch, some creaminess, and a tasty dressing. Great dish! White bean soup - this is very savory and hearty, perfect on a cold day, and the portion is generous too! The sundae is such a great idea. Classic soft serve with pretty much every topping option you can think of. Thank you for the great experience and the great meal!

Food choices are limited here in Point Arena, especially during the week so we decided to give this…read moreplace a try since they had a jazz quartet performing and pier place was closed. The place is lively, the vibes are great, and the service attentive- however, the food is another story. We started out with a michelada and a sangria - both were decent. Next ordered the bean dip that came with a beet hummus and a black bean dip plus bread to eat it with. The dips were just ok flavor wise, but the bread that it came with was burnt, overly salty and just not enjoyable. We were hungry and hoping this was just the wrong item to order. So we ordered the buffalo wings that took FOREVER to come out and it's probably because they were busy overcooking them- super dry chicken meat and the most unpalatable potato wedges that I have been served. Several pieces looked rotten and they were completely drenched in oil. No crisp, overcooked- disgusting. Paid $70 + tip and left hungry. Unfortunately, once we left there no other food places were open. Won't be back.

This is a small town that highway 1 runs through and this Japanese restaurant is worth a stop when…read moreyou drive through. It is fantastic. They have a very large selection of sake, and the servers know and talk with the locals which is so nice to see in our modern society. The sashimi was absolutely stunningly good. Every dish was fantastic (we did the chef tasting menu - 5 course meal) and at the end we both looked at the Michelin guide because "this place has to be rated!) Take a drive or reroute yourself through Point Arena. You won't be sorry.

Went to Gama for my bday dinner. Had a reservation and it was pretty quiet inside so we were able…read moreto sit at a table instead of the bar. Usually we like sitting at the bar to see the chefs do their thing, but this place is not like that at least the night we went to which was surprising cause Japanese establishments typically are cooking out in the open. They had a lot of different sakes which was really nice to see but no draft beer unless I missed it. They let you pick a cup for your sake which is so cute, I loved that. All their table wear was so beautiful. We got a fruity sake first and loved that one. The second one was the "goku" it was giving straight sake. I'd prolly stick to fruitier ones. The server was very kind and she was easy to talk to and provided great service. As for the food, I thought it was pretty okay! We ordered the omakase which was $75 per person and it was very filling. We had trout sashimi which had some bite texturally not my fave fish tbh. Potato Salad which a jammy egg omg I loved it but wondered how it'd taste if the egg was marinated. The mushroom soup was lemony and oniony it was pretty good. The karage could've been crispier imo and I wish the wasabi aoli was a lil different but it was still good. The robata was hella good my fave was the meatball one, I'm not a big fan of cartilage but that it very well cooked, and I appreciated the pile seasoning provided as well. The strawberry topped panna cotta was so good no notes. Overall, pretty good and I'd go again if I was in this area and order individual dishes especially the potato salad and panna cotta. Not really the vibe of an izakaya imo but def a nice Japanese restaurant with some twists.

Garcia River Casino Sits in an…read moreOpen ranch style area - in Point Arena, They have very friendly staff, just a handful of machines, and we had a great time! After driving and seeing most all the natural sites, forest trails and beaches in the area in the morning and early afternoons, we were returning from Fort Bragg and decided to follow the signs to Garcia's River Casino for some nightlife. There were only six cars in the parking lot. Walked in and they had a slot tournament ending in 10 minutes, so we played and I won first place! With my more play, we sat next to each other on two machines and had a ball! Both machines kept giving us bonus rounds and terrific combinations. It's a very small casino, and a different activity for us for the week. But it sure was fun! It doesn't compare to LV or other casinos, but gave them 3 stars because we had a great time playing their machines. For us, It was definitely worth a stop.

As soon as we walked out to the car, we changed our minds and decided to go back in. The host said "let me see if I can find you a table really quick".

I looked at the menu and we're talking hamburgers fish and chips etc. it's a very casual place, not white tablecloth fancy dining at all, very casual. We each ordered fish and chips. $29 each! It comes with French fries and an itsy bitsy 1 oz. container of coleslaw. Period. It comes with two big pieces of fish, but the breading is about 8-in thick. It was very greasy and way overcooked. I was not all impressed with the food. The service was good and the view is a million dollar view with a fresh flower on the table. We only had water to drink, no cocktails, nothing else. nothing special. Out bill came to something like $76. I would not go back there. I could walk around the Pelican Bluff coastal trail for the amazing view.
