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

MENU ON THE FLY

Welcome to the BAR-FLY PUB & GRUB! Located at the old Vista del Mar (Go Fish) building – 91 Commercial St. at the intersection of Waterfront – the Pub is a stone’s throw from the Bay and just down the street from the “C” Street Fisherman’s Plaza! The building was 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. There is convenient parking with spaces all around the building; no scurrying around for street parking.

The pub is open from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m., Monday through Saturday – 21 and over ONLY. Food is served right up until 1:30 a.m. each evening. The menu consists of “bar grub” with the addition of “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 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.

Come join us for Karaoke on Wednesday nights and free pool in the back room on Tuesdays.

Happy Hour runs daily from 4 to 6 p.m. with draft specials and dollar-off well drinks. There are 26 drafts on tap and plenty of bottle beer as well – many selections including Bud Light Platinum, Hard Lemonade and Pear Cider. We also offer a full bar to serve the stronger palate, as well as wine.

SIDE DISHES

At Big Louie’s Pizzeria in Eureka we are proud to offer wholesome, gourmet pizza in a casual family dining setting.

Pizzas feature traditional seasoned Italian marinara sauce and our freshly grated premium three-cheese blend. Our delicious pizza sauce and dough recipes are handed down from old Italian Humboldt families. The pesto recipe is made with real pine nuts, 100% pure virgin olive oil, organic fresh basil, and organic spinach leaves. And our meaty and juicy BBQ Pork Ribs feature the famous, locally made Smokin’ Moses barbeque sauce.

Big Louie’s pizzas are prepared daily from scratch using only the finest ingredients. We bake our fresh dough on pizza screens instead of in pans for a lightly toasted, healthier crust. We also buy and use only fresh whole vegetables – never pre-sliced or frozen. Topped with carefully selected meats, veggies and cheeses, all Big Louie’s pizzas are made with quality you can taste and enjoy.

And for those inclined we also have great beer. Some of the finest beer in Humboldt County can be found at Big Louie’s Pizzeria. The perfect accompaniment to have with some of Humboldt’s finest pizza.

“Good Food and Good Feelings” Bless My Soul Café offers a truly unique California Creole experience, bringing the flavors of Creole Cuisine to the North Coast and offering a delightful array of fine dishes. After 18 successful years catering to the film industry, entrepreneurs, film stars and musicians, “Bless My Soul Catering” relocated to Eureka to manufacture Sweet Mama Janisse brand sauces. In the process, “Bless My Soul Café” was created, one of the north coasts’ great dining experiences.

Chef and Restaurateur Paul Prudhomme, proprietor of K-Pauls Louisiana Kitchen in New Orleans, propelled the distinctive cuisine of his native Louisiana using then popular name Cajun. He opened his first restaurant in Opelousas Louisiana, the family home of Sweet Mama Janisse (Marie). Marie met Chef Paul at a Specialty Food Show and discussed his historic work with Cajun and Creole cuisines. Chef and Restaurateur Emeril Lagasse worked for K-Paul’s Louisiana restaurant embracing the Louisiana creole style of cuisine as his own, presenting this cuisine on his TV show.

Discover these flavors at Bless My Soul Café. The great selection of Classic Southern and Creole entrées include vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices, and an enticing array of side dishes. Whatever your preference, Bless My Soul Café offers savory dishes you will love and return to enjoy again.

Marie shows off her tasteful talent with her award-winning sauces. Sweet Mama Janisse’s Brand Sauces over the years have won over 30 first place medals and awards locally at the Humboldt County Fair, and internationally at the World Wide Mustard Festival.

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 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. 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!

Next, savor a marinated char-grilled lamb, seafood, 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 a Shroomy Tri-Tip Po’Boy w/ Cypress Grove Chevre — 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 Humboldt 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 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.

T C House of Omelettes and Much More

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. 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.

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!

Five Eleven

– In the heart of old town is Eureka’s newest fine dinning destination “Five Eleven,” a modern, stylish, yet casual spot for all to enjoy. Our beautiful bar boasts a large selection of quality spirits or pick one of our house made specialty cocktails. Our extensive wine list offers our favorite wines that we have chosen that are unique, stylish, intelligent and balanced for you to enjoy.

Our menu is crafted with only the finest from around the globe. From the local grassfed beef and the free range chicken in our appetizers and entrées, to the cage free duck eggs and county creamery butter in our desserts, Chef Dave Griswold and staff bring this bounty of ingredients together in what many have described as “North Coast Market” cuisine, blending traditional classics with a bit of Humboldt’s own unique style. Our seasonally changing menu encompasses a wide range of tastes for any pallet, simple to sublime – from the fresh greens and vegetables in our salads, vegan and vegetarian dishes, to the house baked breads and pizza dough (made daily in one of Humboldt’s first wood ovens). Our hand-trimmed ribeye steak accompanied by thyme and russet potato gnocchi with brown butter is a favorite, as is the grilled polenta with wild mushrooms and rich marsala cream. For those of you with a passion for the riches of the rivers and sea, we also have daily seafood specials such as our spicy Shrimp Ragu with a crispy griddle cake of angel hair pasta, to our Bacon and Parmesan crusted Steelhead with a “clam chowder style” beurre blanc, along with many more. Trademark entrées like our Georgia Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and braised greens, or our mouthwatering double cut pork chop with pear and apple chutney are just the ticket for those of you who have a comfort food craving.

If you’re feeling like a snack while you’re sampling one of our many libations from the bar, we also have a number of small plates and appetizers, traditional and unique, perfect to “fill in the corners.”

Wether you are new to a fine dinning experience or a pro, you will love our delicious cuisine as well as our family friendly atmosphere.

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 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.

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

BREAKFAST

In 2011 Ramone’s expanded its bakery & cafe on Harrison Ave. 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!

The Sea Grill Serving Fresh Seafood Specialties & Steaks Since 1988 The Sea Grill, housed in lovely Victorian quarters 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 17 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 including wild caught prawns and salmon. All of our beef is aged Black Angus including filet mignon, New York steak and prime rib served nightly. 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 creme brulee 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. There you can relax with an extensive selection of spirits, wines and microbrews, or enjoy great speciality drinks. In addition, a private banquet room can accommodate groups up to 50.
