This intimate venue, at the top of the stairs and to the left, seats about 900 where some of the greatest musical talents in the world have played and graced this amazing stage and venue for decades now. Beer and wine is usually available for purchase, as are light refreshments. A non-smoking venue. Our most recent concert brought us back to this awesome venue for a show with Ozomatli this past Tuesday evening - This show did not disappoint! The Los Angeles based band has been together for almost two decades now, and it showed in their performance as they smoothly moved from urban latino - to hip hop, to cumbia, salsa and funk. This was an awe inspiring show, for both performers and the audience, as many have been, that I have seen at this venue in recent years. Playing at the Van Duzer theater, artists, musicians and performers all seem to thrive in this special and magical venue. It truly does bring out the best in those who play this stage. The audiences are some of the best in the world, and if you go to a show at this venue, you will find and see that those who do attend are there because they love the music and the artist performing. This in turn translates to the musicians and performers and as such the shows here are always spectacular and amazing in their own right. It does not get any better than this for live music. You can reach the Center Arts ticket office at 707-826-3928 to find out more about this venue and upcoming shows. The 2014-15 season looks to be a great one again, so if you ever find yourself on the north coast, 300 miles in the middle of nowhere and looking for world class music, this is it! A Pure 5 STAR venue. 00086

I ordered an aperol spritz on happy hour, husband had a blonde ale. Super reasonable drinks at $6 and $4 respectively. On the HH menu we chose a periogi, which was $5 and a fun snack. From the dinner menu, I ordered the very unique seaweed salad. It had seaweed three ways, fried crispy, slices and dried flakes. A completely different meal than offered anywhere else, it included crusty grilled plump shrimp and was full of umami flavor and nutty sesame oil. I would love to experience this dish again! I am so disappointed to hear they have closed permanently. I will finish my review anyway because I truly enjoyed this place, even for snackies. The service was great, and we moved on to our next destination quickly but will always remember the historic Eagle House lounge!

Our last night in Humboldt County. Bummed by the warm and humid weather from this summer's heat…read moredome, we were expecting a rather uncomfortable dinner as most of the establishments in Eureka don't have AC. We were graciously checked-in early during opening at 5, even if our reservation was at 6. Very thankful for that as Happy Hour was 5-6. This tavern was dimly lit with candles, table lamps and the ambient afternoon sun offering illumination for our mandatory photos. I was highly impressed by the ornamentation. Classy and very tasteful. Started our dinner with $6 cocktails (Old Fashioned, Aperol Spritz and Cosmopolitan). Got all three apps from the $5 HH menu. Fresh Humboldt Oysters (two), Korean Beef and Traditional Polish Pierogies. We were already full with these starters, but we foolishly proceeded to get the main courses. I'd blame this on the hardworking Eddie, a Schlansky lookalike (google: Conan Jordan image). He had this tic of repeated "how're you guys doing so far" that made this family order entrees, which was unbecoming of us. Catch of the Day. Halibut with roasted brussel sprouts and quinoa. Pork Belly Al Pastor with crispy polenta Striploin with pomme puree and sauce du jour. I told this crew of three that we were finishing the medium grilled steak and opted for the other dishes to be boxed. Thought that was the end of this meal, but noooo. My wife couldn't resist the Flourless Chocolate Torte. F & D, Service and Ambiance. All 5 stars. I'm just exasperated that a public house like this is 6 hours away from home.

For my birthday this year, I wanted to have a trip up to the redwoods and we stayed in Eureka as…read moreour base. I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.

September 10, 2025 - Fortuna, CA…read more Service was fast and friendly. We were greeted almost immediately, even though there was a line of people waiting for to-go orders. We seated ourselves and were quickly given chips, salsa, water, and menus. My husband ordered a Negro Modelo, and our server brought it right away while taking our meal order. I went with the Quesadilla con Carne a Elegir ($10.99) and chose chicken. It was simply chicken and cheese--no seasoning, sauce, guacamole, salsa, or sour cream--just the basics. The chicken was tender, but the quesadilla felt a little plain, and for the price, I thought it could have included a few extras. My husband, on the other hand, ordered the Chili Verde burrito. I found it too spicy for my taste, but he really enjoyed it. The seating was casual, and the restaurant was clean and pleasantly decorated. Overall, we had a nice meal with generous portions--enough leftovers for lunch the next day.

Not only were they juicy, they were smoky, and tasted very healthy. Healthy and tasty don't usually go along. The tri tip was tender though my wife wanted a more crispy bun. The double IPA I got was good too. Bitter is how I like it. My wife got a cider and sweet is how she likes it. Overall 5/5 I'm not sure why people didn't like this spot, but our experience was great.
