“Great bar venue—tasty Mac and cheese too. The bartenders made this place, and they serve some excellent cocktails—often with house-infused alcohol. Goth night was kicking off while we were there and it looked like a fun night. All the staff, including the door person, were really friendly and accommodating.“

“Fantastic dining experience! My friend took me here while visiting from out of town. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and comfort, great vibe for a relaxed evening with friends. The service was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish.

The crab cakes were outstanding—packed with jumbo blue crab meat and beautifully prepared. What really elevated the dish was the cream corn accompaniment. Its sweet, creamy richness paired perfectly with the delicate crab. The mango salmon was equally impressive. The sweetness of the mango complemented the salmon perfectly, adding a bright, refreshing contrast that made every bite enjoyable.

The restaurant also offered an excellent wine selection with plenty of options to pair with seafood and other menu items. Will definitely be stopping again on my next trip to Arcata.“
