Arcata Restaurants

Wish we lived closer so we could come often! Casual, affordable but lovely, full of beautiful wood in a fun restored antique indoor shoppng "mall." Cider and ginger beer are yummy too.

Love!! They let my wedding party bring in my cake to celebrate , the food? The absolute best! Clam chowder = 5 stars! the best my whole family has ever tried!

Polenta with marsala sauce was fantastic, possibly best marsala sauce we've ever had. Soup was rich and complex. Excellent pasta with claims, which tasted like they just came put of the sea! Very friendly service, family owned.

After many years talking about dining here we finally made it and celebrated our 20th anniversary. Probably a bit slow, even for a Wednesday night but that was fine by us for quiet and privacy. The first brought complimentary bread and butter and these little cheese stuffed potato balls sat in some sort of mushroom sauce. The escargot was excellent, being my first time trying it. The roasted beet salad which is a favorite my wife and I might’ve been the best one ever. The dressing was incredible. Then on to the Wild Mushroom tart that was my wife’s favorite of the night. There was this sweet and tangy goat cheese that made the dish. We would up splitting 1 entree being quite full from all of those appetizers and setting on the apple and onion pork chop nestled in a bed of polenta and collards. Cooked so well and quite a large chop it was perfect to split. The apples and onions were cooked down in molasses I believe and added such a unique flavor. So good. Finished with a crème brulee dessert which made the entire meal and dining experience absolutely amazing. My wife and I taking the month of October off from alcohol, we were shocked with how cheap the bill was so we gave a little extra to make up for it and because our server was a delight. Can’t wait to go back

My family of 6 ( counting 2 children) loved this restaurant. My picky “foodie” adult children were absolutely thumbs up on their food (scampi and prime rib). Our waiter was efficient and personable- we loved him. It delighted me to see my family so happy!
