Looked out this place to eat about 5pm on a Sunday afternoon. Got a lovely table at the window in near the bar. The decor is superb - dark but full of history and charm. One of the two waiting team in the bar came over and lit the candles on the tables and I expected him to come back... More

We come here a couple of times a month. Melissa always gives us great service!! The Lobby Bar has a variety of "seating options": tables, at the bar, couches, in front of the fire (we hardly ever have that choice because it is usually occupied), and our favorite tables for two by the windows overlooking the waves crashing on the...

This was our first visit after many trips to Mendocino and we will come back. Very neat old place with comfy seating, fireplace and good atmosphere. The chicken and brie sandwich was very good as was the angus burger with a nice, thick slice of gouda cheese (other choices available). We had very good service although I am guessing it... More

The Hotel Mendocino Salad with feta, pecans and dried cherries was so good I will be going back for it again later. A chicken sandwich with bacon and... More

Seated by the window looking out on the beautiful headlands and cliffs of the Northern California Coast was only made better by the wild Mendocino Mushroom soup and oysters with spinach prepared by the chef in the Hotel kitchen. Sipping a local sirah, we unwound from our long but beautiful drive up highway 128.

We did not make reservations for the Victorian room so we could not get in there for dinner, but we were happy with the Lobby Lounge we had a view of the water and surrounded by beautiful antiques and a most happy server she was delightful.

[review of the Bistro cafe in the bar -- not the main Victorian Room] The Bistro menu in the Mendocino Hotel bar offers an inexpensive and tasty dining alternative to the main hotel dining room. The bar food service begins at 5 pm and continues until the bar closes. I ordered the Dungeness Crabcakes ($16), which actually tasted like crab... More
