The food was great, but the service truly made the experience. Sarah was outstanding—professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made sure everything was just right. Employees like her are a rare find.

April 2025

Went to Mendocino Farms when it was pretty busy, but everything was still good. Food was solid, and the staff was really nice. Diego helped me figure out the menu, which was cool since there were a lot of options. Only thing is the music was kinda loud, but that's probably just me.

It feels smaller than other Mendocinos but it has the same great food. Parking can be challenging if you get there at the wrong time. They have a nice outdoor space here. No soda machine.
