“My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at Trillium on Aug 11 and it was one of the highlights of our experience in Mendocino. The hostess that night had an amazing bouquet of flowers waiting for my wife at our table. She was incredibly thoughtful and my wife can’t stop raving about them. Next, the service was welcoming, exceptional and timely. Finally, the food was prepared perfectly. And the star of the night was the coffee! Wow. Thank you to the staff for creating a wonderful atmosphere and experience for a special milestone in our lives!“

“Loved everything about this pub! The service was great, the food was excellent (including the berry cobbler alamode for dessert - not pictured, sorry!) and the atmosphere was cozy. Our server, Ryan, was attentive and friendly and they had ample heating outside with blankets to use. The garlic cheese bread, Hollywood Salad and Beef Burger were delicious. We may go there again before we leave the area!“

“We had such a great first-time experience dining here, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Heather. She was incredibly attentive and so warm and accommodating from the moment we sat down. That kind of welcome really made us feel at home and set the tone for the rest of the evening. The food and ambiance were already a win, but Heather truly made it memorable. We’re definitely coming back! Next time, we’re planning to make a reservation in hopes of getting a table with that beautiful ocean view. Can’t wait! 🌊✨“

“Terra Mar is an absolutely stunning restaurant. There was a variety of food and everything we ordered was tasty. We were the first seating at 5pm so were able to snag the best corner window seat. While beautiful in that corner, it was quite hot with the setting June sun. Recommend requesting to dine outside on the sofas like another couple did.“
