My fiancee & I spent two weeks in California, mainly in Sonoma, and we ate a LOT of food. We spent one weekend in Mendocino, and someone recommended Sharon's By the Sea. It is a little tricky to find, but well worth it. My fiancee had the Seafood Cioppino, which he still talks about a year later, and I had... more

my fiance and i just got back to ourroom from having eaten dinner there, so here is my review: we stood at the door for 5 minutes while the staff walked passed us several times without acknowledging our presence, finally, we asked if we should seat ourselves. after being seated about 10 minutes and munching on our bread while waiting... more

I was recommended this place by my friend in Los Altos. It is at the very end of the pier. The decore is nice and whimsical, nothing pretencious in attitudes or surroundings. But the food was superb! Try their fried oysters - they are incredible - crunchy on outside and very gentle inside. Lunch or brunch there is a must... more

(We suspected this after some research and then were sure when we saw the old Sharon's sign cast off near the entrance to the restaurant.) I ate the fish and chips which was recommended in many reviews. Not seeing it on the... more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to eat and stumbled upon Sharon's -- the last restaurant on the Wharf. The building is a bit ramshackle, but unpretentious and quaint. It overlooks the harbor and the open sea. We started with absolutely delicious clam chowder (it's not fake-thickened with flour or stodgy, but rather a slightly thinner consistency).... more

During whale season we sit in the terraced dining room and enjoy tasty, beautiful food. The windows are situated to the sea, so it is almost like swimming with the whales themselves. Brunch is amazing. more

Overpriced ($26 scampi-7 shrimp) and not anything special. I'm not sure why this place has received such good reviews. more

We had dinner at Sharon's By The Sea on the busy MLK weekend. The tiny place was busy but our server was attentive and friendly. Hubby and I shared a salad, shrimp martini, clam chowder, and a seafood pasta with a light lemon sauce. Along with a bottle of nice local wine, it made for a lovely meal. The clam... more

When you drive into Ft. Bragg and ask anyone to recommend a restaurant, Sharon's always comes out at the top of the list. Located in Noyo Harbor, the tiny building is home to some of the best seafood in California from the clam linguine, to the cioppino. Before digging in, take time to feast on a true Caesar Salad, one... more
