GREAT PUB FOOD
The weather really is better out here in Blue Lake, so naturally the Mad River Brewing Tap Room is one of the best places to partake of our hand-crafted brews! You’ll find not only our award winning Steelhead and Jamaica Fine Ales — like our flagship Steelhead Extra Pale Ale, winner of multiple Gold Medals at the Great American Beer Festival — but we also feature seasonal and specialty beers that you can only get here! We’ve got a Beer Garden, covered in the winter, but a great place to soak up the sun in the summer when the tent comes down. Plus, there’s live music 6-8:30 p.m. most nights, always free and open to all ages. The Beer Garden is dog-friendly (on a leash, please) so your furry companion can join you for lunch. Our pub-inspired menu features burgers, hand cut fries, yummy sandwiches, a fresh selection of salads and other fare. Our popular fish and chips is sure to hit the spot and pairs great with one of our frosty brews! If you’re headed out for a day of fishing, hiking, biking or other adventure in Humboldt’s amazing outdoors, swing by the Tap Room first to pick up a 6-pack or growler of your favorite beer to go. Mad River Brewing... making great beer right here in Blue Lake for over 25 years! Breakfast

Mazzotti’s on the Plaza, overlooking the famous Arcata Plaza, is home to a long tradition of serving fine Italian food on the North Coast. In 1974 the Mazzotti Family opened the first Mazzotti’s Restaurant in Eureka, and after many years there they decided to open the Arcata location in 2002. Since that time Mazzotti’s on the Plaza has become one of the premier restaurants in Humboldt County. Offering authentic Italian dishes and specialties, Mazzotti’s on the Plaza provides diners a true culinary delight. Enjoy items like their Spinach Pie Calzone or the popular Prosciutto Pizza. Try one of their great sandwiches like the famous Hitman, or the delicious BBQ Tri-Tip sandwich. Mazzotti’s on the Plaza is also a good place for seafood and steak. They have wild-caught Grilled Halibut and Baked Salmon, or grilled Rib-eyes, Filets and Prime Rib. Alternatively, for the vegetarian they have a grilled portabella sandwich and a delicious eggplant parmesan sandwich. Mazzotti’s on the Plaza uses only the freshest, local, organic ingredients whenever possible. Whether in their handmade ravioli, fresh basil pesto or in their excellent salads, they are committed to offering you only the best. “Come enjoy a meal. Have a glass from our wine selection, or a pint of one of our eight unique, crafted beers on tap at our full service bar. We look forward to serving you.” ~The Mazzottis Dinner

MD’ Delicious Starts Right Here Since 1955, McDonald’s has been proud to serve the world some of its favorite food. Back in 1954 a man named Ray Kroc discovered a small burger restaurant in California, and wrote the first page of McDonald’s history. From that humble start as a small restaurant, McDonald’s is proud to have become one of the world’s leading food service retailers, with more than 36,000 restaurants serving more than 69 million people in more than 100 countries every day. As part of a global network of local family restaurants, McDonald’s and their owner-operators are proud to give back to the communities they serve. Through involvement in local sports, local charities and events, or taking steps to improve neighborhoods, giving back is an essential part of their operation. Your favorite McDonald’s meal comes with complimentary Wi-Fi. Get some work done, check email, connect with friends... for free! Kids love to romp at the McDonald’s PlayPlaces in Fortuna and Eureka on Broadway. And except for McKinleyville, McDonald’s Drive-Thrus are open 24 hours a day. “McDonald’s is a people business” —Ray Kroc Breakfast

O B All You Can Eat Buffet, Featuring Fresh Sushi Oriental Buffet has been a dining sensation since hitting the North Coast in 2005. The dishes are prepared fresh and are visually stunning – from the fresh sushi bar, where you can watch the sushi chef prepare your favorites, to the Mongolian-style grill where you choose your ingredients and sauces before they are cooked in front of your eyes. What makes Oriental Buffet different is the sheer selection and quality of food we provide: items like crab legs, mussels, oysters and many varieties of shrimp. For the kids, we feature a dessert bar that includes soft-serve ice cream, cakes, pastries and a wide variety of sweets to complement our main courses. There is also a fresh fruit bar where you can load up on a wide assortment of seasonal fruits.
And in Fortuna Come Try the Sushi Boat Buffet
The Sushi Boat Buffet in Fortuna serves all you can eat sushi and Chinese food. Located in the Redwood Village Shopping Center, the Sushi Boat offers delicious food for dine in or take out with beer and wine also available to enjoy. The Sushi Boat is open Tuesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., with lunch until 3:30 p.m. and dinner from 3:30 to 9 p.m. On Sundays and holidays they serve an all day dinner menu.

Brick & Fire / Doors Down The welcoming fire may draw you in, but the well-crafted fare will bring you back again. And again… When you open the distinctive cobalt blue door into this midtown bistro, you’re warmly greeted both by the gracious staff and by the crackling wood-fired oven that dominates Brick & Fire. The name says it all – the massive artisan-built brick oven is at the heart of the warm ambiance and the inventive menu, as Brick & Fire’s chefowners skillfully blend European tradition with fresh local harvest. From beautifully seasonal salads and fire-roasted polenta lasagna, to seafood-stuffed calamari and slow-roasted osso bucco, the menu runs from rustic casual to redefined Italian favorites. And with that great brick oven naturally comes incredible wood-fired pizza. The doughs are created daily in-house, as are the outstanding artisan handcrafted breads, baked goods and desserts, house cured meats and olives… and any other ingredients that can be house-made by the dedicated staff. Simply put, Brick & Fire is people who love food, serving the food they love. Whether you prefer beer on tap brought to the table, or the toast of Napa sipped at the bar, this warm neighborhood bistro offers uncompromising quality at comfortable pricing. Come on over to F Street. They have a table by the fire waiting for you… . And two doors down... Brick & Fire’s sexy “little sister” spot, 2 Doors Down, with a charming list of over 80 wines to entice, enlighten and entertain, as well as savory pairings and small plates, sweet desserts and espresso, and spirited ambiance and interludes. Located just 2 doors down from Brick & Fire, this cozy wine bar opens daily at 4:30 p.m. for some serious fun with wine! Breakfast

Next, savor a marinated char-grilled lamb, seafood, kofta or veggie Kebob with a Creole BBQ or honey/tahini sauce, accompanied by okra and bright rice, wrapped in a flatbread. Or maybe a Calamari Po’ Boy better suits you with a classic remoulade sauce. How about Guy’s favorite, our famous “Triple D” BBQ Pulled Pork w/fresh apple slaw Po’ Boy — all on fresh baked rolls. We also offer gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan dishes to tantalize any palate! Need comfort food closer to home? Try our 1/3 pound hand-formed patty of Pacific Pastures Grassfed Beef char-grilled to perfection with all the fixins’ on a fresh rosemary foccacia roll from Brio Bakery in Arcata, and a side of fresh cut fries! Need to appease your sweet tooth? Try our homemade Orange Pecan Baklava, White Chocolate Bread Pudding, a Gluten-Free Fudge Brownie with Mocha Butter Creme, or one of our other house-baked goodies! Wash it all down with our locally roasted organic French Roast Coffee or fine teas. Having a celebration? We also carry fine local wines (including champagne/ mimosas) and Humboldt County microbrews on tap!

BREAKFAST
The Chalet in Eureka was purchased by Vera Johnson March 1, 1975. The building was originally an ice cream parlor and only seated eight people. By 1981 the restaurant had expanded to nearly double its size and became known for its hamburgers and soft serve ice cream. Over the years, with more remodeling and hard work, it has turned into the business that it is today. The Chalet is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. It is known for having some of the finest omelettes in Humboldt County. Using only the freshest ingredients available, the restaurant has won the Times Standard’s restaurant awards for “Best Breakfast” and “Best of the North Coast” many times over. It offers great food, excellent service, a warm friendly atmosphere, and serves a complete breakfast and lunch menu all day. Except for a minor repair job due to fire damage, The Chalet in Eureka has been open 365 days a year for the past 37 years. And while Vera is not part of the daily operation of the restaurant anymore, the business is still part of the family. Her son Bill, a retired warrant officer from the U.S. Marine Corps, now manages the restaurant, making sure the same dedication and service that have made The Chalet a local favorite since 1975 still continue today.

Welcome to Chapala Café, bastion of authentic Mexican cuisine. Located on the corner of 2nd and C Streets in historic Old Town Eureka, Chapala is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Catering, banquet facilities and delivery within a one-block radius are offered. The spacious dining room can accommodate a large group and still be cozy enough for a casual meal for two. A festive, folk-style mural of a Mexican village decorates the entire east wall. Unlike some restaurants, at Chapala, if you do not receive your food, they will not charge you. Customers that request wine margaritas will be quietly asked to leave, and warnings that the Burrito Ranchero is “quite large” should be heeded. Patrons will enjoy Chapala’s fresh salsa, homemade chips and perennial favorites such as Sopes, Enchiladas, Tacos, Burritos and Carnitas. The Chiles Rellenos are a delight not to be missed. Generous portions of piping-hot entrées can be enjoyed with a variety of Mexican beers or the area’s finest tequila margaritas. Be sure to save room for dessert... delicious homemade flan! The Tumbleweeds provide live entertainment from 6 to 8 p.m. every Friday and Saturday night.

American, Italian, Pizza, Vegetarian Founded by Attilio Marcelli and his three partners, Marcelli’s Ravioli & Sausage Factory has been serving Humboldt County since 1927. Little has changed since the Factory was first started. The “Old Country” flavor that made our Ravioli and Sausage well-known throughout Northern California still exists. Production methods and ingredients have remained the same, with all products still being made by hand. We believe that maintaining the quality of ingredients helps to keep that “Old Country” flavor. We think you’ll agree.

Savor Old Town. Taste Oberon. One hundred years ago Dick’s New Oberon was a popular dining and drinking establishment in Eureka’s Old Town. Reopened in 2008, Oberon Grill has become equally popular as a dining destination. Using the old photograph of Dick and his barkeeps as inspiration, the Kohl family has brought back the building to its original glory. The beautiful mahogany bar was built by Wallace and Hinz, local bar manufacturers. The columns on the bar mirror the detail on the front of the building, as well as the features on the old photograph. Chef Nicholas Kohl has created a menu featuring California flavors. With a focus on quality steaks and fresh seafood, Oberon Grill serves up American food with a twist. Chef Nicholas offers nightly specials with market fresh ingredients. Herb encrusted Prime Rib is featured Friday and Saturday nights. Fresh Crab is available in season. We serve breakfast Saturday and Sunday, and lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday. Upstairs, Oberon Grill’s Ruby Room is available for private parties. With seating for 15 to 35, the Ruby Room offers quiet dining overlooking the main dining floor. Creating simple cocktails with complex flavors is the idea behind Oberon Grill’s classic bar drinks. We have selected top quality spirits from around the world to add to our West Coast selection of wines. Dinner

This new urban style café has quickly become the hub of the neighborhood with a comfortable, colorful, and casual ambiance. In addition to everything you enjoy from Ramone’s Bakery, the new café includes hot breakfasts daily with Sunday Brunch specials, dinner specials after 5 p.m., beers on tap and a remarkable and well-planned wine list that is kept interesting with frequent updates. The kitchen staff prepares meals with an emphasis on local produce and ingredients. All breads used are baked in-house, and Ramone’s Bakery also roasts its own coffee. As you enter the café, colors and beautiful furnishings will take your eyes around the room. But be sure to explore the place as every corner holds a surprise such as the deli case, the sheltered back patio, and the beautiful bar and farm table created by local woodworkers. You will quickly feel at home here and recognize this to be the perfect place to come alone or with friends for a glass of wine, a casual meal, or simply for a cup of coffee and a sweet treat. Should you find a reason for an impromptu celebration, choose a cake, torte or delicate pastry from the display case, and complement it with a glass of champagne!

Serving Fresh Seafood Specialties & Steaks Since 1988 A local favorite, the Sea Grill, housed in a lovely 1876 Victorian in Old Town, is the winner of the Eureka Times-Standard Reader’s Choice Award for Best Seafood Restaurant in Humboldt County for the last 18 years. The wide variety of fresh seafood on the menu is exquisitely prepared – sauteed, grilled, charbroiled, poached, pan or deep fried, and accompanied by delicate sauces. We specialize in fresh, local, sustainable seafood. All of our beef is aged Black Angus including Filet Mignon, NY Steak and RibEye. Prime Rib is served Thursday through Saturday. Spinach & Cheese-Stuffed Chicken, Chicken Saute Sec and Roasted Duck in a cherry merlot sauce round out the menu. Dinners include your choice of the soup of the day, our award-winning seafood chowder, or a visit to the extensive salad bar. All the desserts are made in house, including our delicious Key Lime Pie and Créme Brûlée which people say is the best anywhere. A beautiful antique mahogany bar that came “around the horn” in the 1880s is the centerpiece of the lounge. Here you can relax with a great specialty cocktail. We are proud of our wine list and feature several selections by the glass. We offer a wide-ranging collection of microbrews including nine on tap. Our private banquet room can accommodate larger groups up to 50.

Long-time restaurateur Curley Tait opened Curley’s Grill in the Victorian Village of Ferndale in April 1995. Fifteen years later, Curley’s Grill relocated to Fortuna, where it remained a hit with locals and visitors alike. Now however, almost 20 years after it first opened, Curley’s has returned to its original location, and is back where it all began with the newly remodeled Curley’s Full Circle Restaurant. As always, Curley’s affordable prices, generous portions and consistently good food contribute to its success. Today’s guests can now enjoy them in the newly remodeled restaurant’s bright and cheerful atmosphere.
