The food has gone down hill over the past few months. I think there is new management. The wonderful daytime bartender is gone and Sarah, the daytime waitress, is being run ragged, it seems. She still does an excellent job and is consistently checking back to make sure everything is done to our satisfaction. We had the wedge salad with... more

Excellent food, great full bar, and heavenly view from the bar!!! I can't say anymore but try it for sure! more

I love this restaurant. I think the food is wonderful. I absolutely love the crab cakes! They are my favorite. They also make a great eggs benidict. The atmosphere is great. I love the decor, and the view sitting at the front tables with my husband, is amazing. The service is great. I have always had a great time here.... more

The food was good, although the portion sizes varied hugely. My husband had a chicken dish which was tiny, and my salad was huge. The barman/server was pretty rude. We would not be encouraged to go back there. A strange attitude altogether in this town, not welcoming. more

Two waiters for 20+ tables, they were running around. The lady bartender was nice, but she disappeared and we noticed others waiting for drinks. One guy, behind us, left $5 for their... more

My husband and I have eaten at the Mendocino Hotel Victorian Dining Room several times in the past few years. We were there last night, 3/1. We got there at 7:00pm and ordered Caesar Salads, which, alas, is no longer made at table side, soup for my husband, and the entrees. I was keeping an eye on the clock because,... more

My wife and I had a late lunch in the bistro section. The garden like setting is very attractive, and the food was fair, but not exceptional value for the money. The only negative, which spoiled the occasion, was the service. We both ordered soup and a hot entree. The waiter brought them together, so that we had to fast... more

We enjoy fine dining experiences wherever we travel. Tonight's dinner at the Victorian Dining Room at Mendocino Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way: setting, wonderful attentive and INTELLIGENT service by our server, Ashley, creative yet subtle and nuanced flavors in all courses. The duck rillettes salad was a wonderful combination of textures and rich flavors; my husband had the... more

I was very impressed with the Victorian Dining Room especially since I have never heard of it prior to this last trip to Mendocino. The evening scenery from the restaurant was beautiful and even though I did not expect the food to be that spectacular, it was. Theresa was our server and I was impressed by her friendliness, knowledge of... more
