Dining in Mendocino

Our Focus: Natural and Organic

Drawn primarily from local farmers and purveyors, morning and afternoon offerings for guests of the Inn are crafted to feature organically-grown fruits and vegetables; free-range poultry and livestock; and fresh-caught fish. During mushroom season, local foragers bring their products by the kitchen door at the Inn providing us with the freshest mushrooms from the surrounding forests.

Heirloom Tomatoes, Signature Dishes...

...breakfast at the Inn is a culinary experience not to be missed. Fresh pastries, whipped Belgian hot chocolate, artisan coffee, organic eggs, fresh-squeezed juices, and a wide variety of selections from the seasonally-changing, cooked-to-order breakfast menu are presented each morning. Guests may choose to dine by the iconic fireplace in the Great Room with a view of the birds at our back deck feeder, or ensuite. And don't forget to ask about the Inn's most famous creation, their Millionaire's Bacon.

 
 

Our Evening Wine Hour

Each evening, our executive chef prepares a selection of appetizers for our guests that is included with their stay. These selections are presented in room-specific Mendo Boxes crafted by local woodworker, John Myers, from the eco-salvaged redwood used to build the inn. Guests will find any dietary restrictions addressed within. Many of our guests consider these appetizers enough for a light dinner.

  • Herb-Crusted Lamb Lollipops with Pear-Mint Redux

From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, we felt wonderfully cared for. The staff showered us with individual attention, the accommodations were lovely and the food was comparable to a high-end restaurant, creative and plentiful.
