a note about reservations

Lunch will be returning May 1, 2026, every Friday and Saturday each week.

Construction Update and Outdoor Dining:  As of March 30th, 2026 Outdoor, patio dining is open again! It is still weather dependent, as we haven’t added the canvas cover to the top, but it is coming soon. The fire pit is installed and has 4 tables around it, which won’t be covered, so they will be first come first serve tables. (walk-in)

Last Fall we built a new dining room where our deck area was, and Dec 1, we took down our tent!

We look forward to you dining in our New Garden Area!

Thank you for dining with us! Reservations are highly recommended,

information on indoor & outdoor dining

 

Our new dining room is complete, as well as our pergola, we are just waiting on the cover and still have some plants to add to the garden. 

Dining with your dog– Please make a note on your reservation that you will be bringing your dog, so we can save a patio table for you. We ask this, because we don’t have that many outdoor tables.

Outdoors:  Covered, weather proof outdoor dining will return by May 2026, We will have 6 covered, heated outdoor tables on the patio, under our new pergola. 4 walk in, ocean view fire pit tables, as well as a few other tables in the open air with heaters.  Please remember to bring jackets, a blanket, and maybe a hat, as Mendocino’s weather can be unpredictable.

Indoors: In our cozy dining room, we have 15 indoor tables, many with ocean views and a fire place.
