dining at trillium: reinventing the romance

indoor & outdoor dining available

Picnic boxes to-go, additional new indoor dining room, and No Outdoor Dining as of December 22 when we reopen from our winter break. Until we complete our outdoor project. Great things take time!

Outdoors:  NO OUTDOOR DINING AT THIS TIME!  DECEMBER 2025, We will have 15 outdoor tables in the garden, with lots of separation between tables. The garden will be covered by a combination of a new pergola and large heated umbrella and fire pit. Please remember to bring jackets, a blanket, and maybe a hat, as Mendocino’s weather can be unpredictable. Most of our outdoor seating is still available in the rain, as it is covered.

Indoors: In our cozy dining room, we have 10 indoor tables with ample separation.
