You'd live your heart's calling, your highest dream, moment to moment stepping into the picture, like a perfect evening at Mendo Bistro getting a taste of what nirvana feels like when someone talks to God the way the Chef does with his food preparation, tastes and choices. Ah!, FINALLY someone puts love into what he's doing, and isn't it wonderful... more

Our waitress was cheerful and helpful. I kid you not, after the first bite, I literally forced myself to eat slower so I could truly savor every bite. more

The setting is wonderful, the people are even better. And the food, OUT OF THIS WORLD! The owners, he the definition of a cook in my mind, and i believe his wife was one of the more pleasant women we met on the coast.They honestly goes above and beyond to make sure your dining experience was superb. Their menu was... more

Awesome Fort Bragg experience! Beautiful old building, open concept dining area on the second floor - some views of the ocean and sunset. They use local, fresh, organic ingredients - as a matter of fact their wine list is entirely local - what an awesome idea, we would love to see more restaurants do that!! The food was all home-made,... more

or we may have never found it. It is on the second floor of a building on main st. and I had never seen it. It was a highlight of our weekend getaway. I am glad the waitress took my empty bowl of mussels away before I drank the broth out of the bowl and embarrassed myself. My halibut was... more

Husband & I spent Mon- Wed at Ft. Bragg this week for anniversary, trying a different restaurant every night, with Mendo Bistro being our final night's choice & we were blown away! We live in Sonoma County where there are many excellent restaurants & all I can say is I wish Mendo Bistro would open up here! This was some... more

It's the third time within about a year that we had dinner here. The food has been consistently good to excellent. Fish, steak, chicken, appetizers, and dessert were all very good. Service can be slow if they're very busy, but it was great today - fast and precise. I've been both with just my wife and with a large group,... more
