22 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Mendocino

“Delightful spot where you can enjoy lunch, coffee, and bakery treats.While the food and ambiance are excellent, there’s one aspect that finds less appealing: the mandatory 15% service fee for the employees.Despite this, the cafe offers a wide range of organic, whole foods, including fine French pastries and baked goods. If you’re looking for gluten-free options, they have those too!“

“We had pastries, coffee, and hard-boiled eggs at this cozy coffee shop before hiking. Quick, counter-service stop. We liked the funky music. But overall the servers were a bit short with us, and didn’t think the coffee or pastries were particularly special.“

“I am very picky when it comes with pizza. This place was fantastic. Tried carbonara pizza and it was really tasty. A tad too salty but the flavour and the thin crust were both amazing. It was so good that we picked up another one to go. The outside seating area was pretty.“

“Absolutely delicious! Had pork ramen and husband had vegan ramen and I would do this 4 hour drive just to get this food again. Pork was cooked to perfection. Veggie rolls were also tasty. The people behind the counter were very nice and the music was also good. 10/10 recommend!“

“Loved this place! Awesome, Irish/small town/friendly/sports pub-like vibes with incredibly fresh and delicious food and great drink selection. Brian was a delightful server who made meal accommodations for us and had such a great attitude and energy to everyone he came in contact with. Everyone who worked there, in fact, did as well. Happy to come across Patterson’s on our road trip.“

“Trillium welcomed us into the restaurant even though we did not have reservations. We chose to eat under the tent and loved the tranquil atmosphere of eating alfresco amongst the fairy lights. The tall heaters provided a nice warmth for a crisp night. The service was great and the food was good.“

“I enjoyed every meal of our dinners at Ravens. The food is creative, delicious, and attractively presented. Most nights my daughter and I each got a small plate, followed by a large plate. One night we even indulged in dessert. The food is rich in vegetables and many other healthy ingredients, and is low oil and not fried. Our favorite small plate was the kale stack, and favorite large plate was the sea palm. As we roamed nearby parks, we were quite attuned to all the sea palms growing on rocks near shore. Ravens sources their sea palm locally, so we might have been looking at someone's future dinner. The portions are generous, and every night we took enough food back to our room for lunch the next day.“

“A must go spot - it’s located in a local fish market pier. We had a super fresh and juicy fish and chips & grilled fish salad at a very reasonable price! They got plenty of seating by the pier, which allowed us to taking in the habour view while enjoying our lunch on a warm and sunny day!“

“We spent a day in Fort Bragg and tried to see and eat as much as we could. Princess Seafood was our food favorite. We had the clam chowder bread bowl and the cod. I had the blackened cod and my wife the regular. Both very delicious and fresh. The view is spectacular from outside watching a few boats coming in. Definitely recommend this place. Sorry no pics.“

“Sea Pal Cove is a great local hangout where you can soak up some Fort Bragg ambiance. We had the fish and chips and great local brews while sitting around the open fire pit. It was great to spend time chatting with the locals. We enjoyed it so much we went back the next day for clam chowder and beer for lunch. All of the food is super fresh and not overdone. A great experience!“

“Interesting brews, and I don't mean "interesting" as a polite way to say weird. I had the cucumber ale and Japanese green tea and both were excellent. As was the porter, and the IPA. When I was ordering at the bar, there was a lady there who said don't get the cucumber, so I didn't pick that one for my flight. When the server brought me my beers, he brought me the cucumber for free and said "try it, you may like it".We went there with our kids and dog. They have an outdoor patio for when your pooch is family. Service and decor is spare, but friendly. The burgers and chicken nachos were good. Kids polished them off.“

“We came here because the restaurant is closed. The cashier (maybe also the chef cooking the oyster?) was friendly and informative. We sat outside by the fire and it is so warm despite we are by the sea.The crab roll is so good! Really big portion and we weren’t able to finish it! The lobster bisque is so warm and thick, full of flavor. The oyster is fresh and delicious. They are so big compared to the ones we see before! I love it here and definitely recommend!“

“My wife and I stopped to check out this new brewery in Ft. Bragg, while staying in Mendocino. I'm glad we did. They have a nice selection of interesting original beers. They also offer food from local bakeries and restaurants. We didn't eat. But saw some tasty looking hot baked pretzels go by! The service was friendly and helpful. The space is very large with lots of big windows out to the street. They have a lot of seating, including two very nice couches. Although there are a lot of seats the space is not crowded at all. They also have two dart boards and other games to help pass the time while enjoying their tasty beers.“

“I have done a ton of traveling, and have enjoyed food all over the world. This is one of my top 5 places I have ever eaten. The Salmon with elote was made with love and the sauce was balances In such a masterful way!Dietary restrictions: They worked around my wife's gluten intolerant dietary restrictions and made her a custom salmon dish!“

“This food was so amazing and refreshing right after touring the mendocino botanical garden. It's located inside the beautiful garden by the entry/exit point. My fiancé and I really enjoyed this meal after exploring the garden. It really felt like a farm to fork moment. All the produce in the cafe is from the garden, which really enhanced our experience eating the meal. We enjoyed the iced raspberry tea, salad, soup, and veggie and Turkey sandwiches. The ice cream from cowlicks really topped it all off- raspberry chocolate chunk and candy cap mushroom. Everything was so delicious! The only critique I have is the lady working in the front seemed a bit rude. I could hear her talking loudly with attitude and snarky remarks to customers including my fiancé as he was ordering from my table.“

“In comparison to the other breweries in town, you can tell this one is a bigger name. It has much less small town feels and as a result less personality to it all. But the beer is known for a reason and still always good to go where it starts from! They have a fun gift shop too“

“Such a fun but relaxing atmosphere. My husband and I came with our 13 year old daughter and Jimmy our waiter was so patient and kind with helping her make a decision on a mocktail:) Food was absolutely delicious and the view was spectacular!! We will definitely be back again.“

“Love the new location! Much roomier with beautiful views of the harbor. The food was mediocre. Fish and chips the breading is wonderful, light & crispy, it just needed more seasoning. The ceviche needed heat and seasoning. Also, they chopped up larger shrimp instead of using the traditional small bay shrimp which made it difficult to get a good scoop on your tortilla chip. Service was great. We will definitely be back again.“

“I was heartbroken to learn that they don't sell bread anymore. It was SO FREAKING GOOD!!! But they still sell bagels and pastries and coffee drinks, and they're still top-notch folks. I suppose bread just wasn't a profitable part of their business. Too bad so sad because it was incredible! All you people that didn't buy don't know what you were missing and now you never will! Glad I got to try it when I did.Vegetarian options: Most of what they sell is vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Baked goods are already baked, but some accommodations might be made.Parking: It's muddy, but there's plenty of space. Just use the drive-through.Kid-friendliness: Yes.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot is cratered, muddy, gravel.“

“The Wharf is a great spot in Fort Bragg noyo Harbor. We sat on the outside patio listening to the harbor seals and enjoying the wonderful cool evening. Our server was wonderful the manager was so helpful and thoughtful. We visited on Saturday April 20th in the evening and it was busy but it was a great experience. The food was excellent try the ceviche it was awesome. The clam chowder was really good fresh ingredients wonderful flavor and the bread on the side amazing.Parking: Easy to park plenty of spots bury nearby to the restaurant.“

“Rooms are a little dated but clean and taken care of. The customer service is great and definitely makes up for any shortcomings. The food at the restaurant was good. I loved that there is something for everyone’s tastebuds. And again great customer service.“
