We sat outside on the covered and heated patio. It was cozy and nicely decorated. We had an order of the sautéed calamari and clam chowder, both were excellent. I had the local rockfish and my wife had the Thai firepot. All of the ingredients were incredibly fresh. We also ordered the carrot cake which was one of the best I've had. We visit every time we come to Mendocino.

A charming resturant with simple and fine choices to select from. We went towards the end of the night and they were still warm and friendly from the start. We ordered clam chowder, ceasar salad, and thai bowl, and all were acceptable and filling. Nothing was rave-worthy, but it did the job. I would like to come back here to try out lunch or breakfast here. If you're visiting, its definitely a trust-worthy place with a great variety in menu options.

I always have a meal here when visiting Mendocino. Their healing bowls are hearty and filling. The short ribs pair with a nice Syrah from their fine wine list. Make sure to order one of their special desserts.

The food was PHENOMENAL. Got the chicken kabob, tomato soup, hot chocolate, beer, pot roast, and sword fish special. My favorite place on the whole visit up! The servers don't have specific sections, they all take everyone, and every server was great, even the runners and bussers too, everyone was awesome. The place itself is so cute! We were outside with the heater and were very comfortable.

We were too late for breakfast so we got a light lunch before our walk in the botanical garden. Clam chowder cup was ok. The crab cake sandwich was really good. Highly recommend the crab cake sandwich if you come! The black coffee was also easy to go down. They have lots of indoor and plentiful of outdoor seating!

The Mendocino Cafe has been a stable staple of dining on the coast for as long as I can remember. It has a cool fusion of foods to tantalize your culinary pallet to take you to another level of appreciation. The atmosphere there is very relaxing as the staff are always looking after your needs while not hovering, that hasn't changed since the turn of the century. When you can get in, their outdoor dining is one of the prettiest spots on the coast. Lush greenery surrounds you as do views where you can people watch; a true joy. We had the burger which was cooked perfectly and the Thai burrito, which has always been my go to, make sure you try the sweet Asian chili sauce. This is one spot always frequented by locals, which when I travel is what I look for . Locals know best

Enjoy some good food and dessert with a view of the amazing Mendocino coast! We stopped for lunch and could get a table outside by the corner. We had an amazing view of the ocean waves in the distance. Vegetarian options are available though slightly limited. Vegetarian options : Big River salad with Tofu, with a dressing of Olive oil and Balsamic. Vietnamese Salad and substituted the dressing with a Lemon vinaigrette (since the dressing they give you has fish sauce in it) Asian Stir Fry with brown rice and Tofu Jasmine Green tea Everything tasted fresh and refreshing. Service was pretty quick and food was great. The staff checked in multiple times to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. The dessert menu looks amazing and they also carry gluten free options! Highly recommend stopping by here for a Thai fusion inspired meal with a view.
