Perhaps best known for its unique and delicious pasta, Abruzzi is an Italian province of farmers and shepherds with a deeply traditional cuisine featuring local hams and cheeses from the mountain areas, sausages and cured meats, fresh fish and other seafood, and a bounty of fruits and vegetables. Authentic Italian cooking techniques call for the use of high quality, fresh, seasonal ingredients. In keeping with these time-honored customs, our menu features pasta made daily by hand, homemade sauces and desserts, as well as locally-grown and organic produce as much as possible.

We combine traditions of the Italian heartland with contemporary culinary methods, working closely with local farms and other vendors in our community to bring the best ingredients to each preparation, and exceptional food to each and every guest. We invite you to join us and enjoy the rustic simplicity of Italian fare at prices anyone can afford. There’s something for everyone, so bring the whole family and enjoy the delicious aromas and flavors of Abruzzi.

APPETIZERS

Fiesta Grill & Cantina in Arcata is a great place to enjoy delicious, authentic Mexican food. Opened by Rogelio and Guillermina Luna, the restaurant’s food reflects their heritage, culinary traditions and culture from Jalisco and Guanajuato, Mexico. Savor meals like Costillas, a dish of pork ribs in a rich brown sauce made with tomatillos and dried chiles, or Beef Milanesa, a dish of top sirloin breaded and fried served with rice, beans and choice of sides.

As the youngest of a family of 12, Rogelio observed the pleasure that good food could bring at his family’s small cafe in Guanajuato. He brought this pleasure with his talents to Arcata to serve the best Mexican food in the finest dining facility possible.

The Fiesta Grill & Cantina is open for lunch and dinner and has its “family” of staff offering excellent service and great food, along with a full bar. The Sports Lounge offers a big tequila selection and features four TVs and a jukebox. Enjoy special prices and appetizers at Happy Hour from 3 to 6 p.m.

HOUSE SPECIALTIES

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 2001. Since that time Mazzotti’s on the Plaza has become one of the premier restaurants in Humboldt County.

Offering authentic Italian dishes and specialties, eating at Mazzotti’s on the Plaza is a true culinary delight. Enjoy items like their Spinach Pie Calzone or the popular Smoked Salmon Pizza with goat cheese. Or 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 Breakfast

Oriental Buffet 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, which 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. The Fortuna location serves beer and wine.

The newer facilities cater to families, groups or private parties. Perhaps the best thing about Oriental Buffet is affordable pricing. The Lunch Buffet is only $7.25, and the Sunday and Dinner Buffet are only $10.95 (plus tax). There is a special Senior Discount, a discount for children 3 to 10 years, and children under 3 are free. Oriental Buffet is located just north of Arcata off Highway 101 in the Valley West Shopping Center in Arcata, and at 751 S. Fortuna Blvd., in the Redwood Village Shopping Center in Fortuna.

The Banana Hut truly represents owners Ken and Fatima’s vision of a tropical paradise, a “bit of Hawaii,” here on the mainland. The Banana Hut began in a small trailer, became Humboldt County’s first Hawaiian plate lunch restaurant from the kitchens at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds, and has finally found home on 5th St. in Eureka. Fatima made the sun and painted the sky that adorn the ceiling. Her wax flowers can be seen on the walls, and art that Ken and Fatima collected over the years adorns the walls as well. Ken learned how to attach booths to floors, and put the thatch up, decorating it with robotic butterflies. The Punkah fans on the ceiling were inspired by the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. A salt water fish tank is set up on the wall. The restaurant continues to “morph” with the 2012 expansion of the restaurant to include a banquet area and soon to be famous tiki bar.

New lunch and dinner menu items are being tested continuously, like Kalua Pig Fries. This is a meal in itself: regular french fries topped with Kalua pig, homemade brown gravy, two kinds of melted cheese, and sprinkled with green onions for a vegetable. This appetizer is so good it should be a new food group. Other dinner items include Babyback ribs with pineapple glaze, Lomi Lomi salmon, Ahi poke, pork chops, Huli Huli chicken, Chicken Adobo, caramelized tofu, and peel-and-eat garlic shrimp inspired by the North Shore shrimp trucks of Oahu.

The building has been remodeled with new front windows, flooring and a total pick-me-up inside. The cozy warm atmosphere is fashioned with antique-meets-country and western motif.

The menu consists of “bar grub” with the addition of steaks and “specials” daily. Yes, we serve a mean fish-n-chips, and our prices are set so as NOT to break the bank! You will occasionally enjoy the food freebies circulating the bar as samples – we like to try new items and recipes, sharing with our guests.

We have three billiard tables; one coin-operated in the front and two pay-by-the hour tables in the back room. The back room is available for private party rentals offering your guests uninterrupted pool playing, large screen TV, and pub tables with pews for additional seating. There are five TVs throughout the bar to watch the games with your friends; or just by yourself.

When you open the distinctive cobalt-blue door into this mid-town 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 now open! 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.

House of Omelettes and Much More 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. They are 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. They offer great food, excellent service, a warm friendly atmosphere, and serve 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 36 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 continues today.

Welcome to Chapala Restaurant, 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 Burritos 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!

ORIGINAL OBERON BAR 1908

Savor Old Town. Taste Oberon.

DINNER

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 on Friday and Saturday nights. Fresh Crab is available in season. We serve breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, and Lunch and Dinner on Tuesday through Sundays Upstairs, Oberon Grill’s Ruby Room is available for private parties. 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.

Ramone’s on Harrison Neighborhood Café with Beer and Wine Bar

BREAKFAST

In 2011 Ramone’s expanded its bakery & cafe on Harrison Avenue by moving next door after thoroughly remodeling the new site. 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 newly installed kitchen 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, chose a cake, torte or delicate pastry from the display case, and complement it with a glass of champagne!
