Having arrived for an overnight stop in Eureka we asked our hotel to recommend a restaurant for dinne and they were very enthusiastic about Sea Grill. We had a lovely dinner in this beautiful, relaxed and friendly restaurant. An extensive menu and good wine list add to the appeal. Samuel was extraordinarily helpful and gave some great advice about what to see in the area. Samuel, thank you for telling us about Willow Creek. It was sensational. I would highly recommend Sea Grill.

I come here with my dad every time I visit Eureka, and the breakfast and lunch are always good. Nothing fancy but consistently good. Gill's has a working fisherman breakfast place feel though I rarely see any fishermen there (maybe I get up too late). Service is always good - my dad is old and cranky and never has a complaint which is rare :-).

Cafe Waterfront is a beautifully restored Queen Anne style house that looks out over the harbor. It apparently has a checkered past of "ladies of the evening" working upstairs and liquor served downstairs, even during prohibition. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly and efficient. The view of the harbor and the street is nice. On the Friday night in September when I was there, there was live music on a square just up the street and I could see people dancing in the square, a wonderful ambiance. I was dining alone and had the calamari, clam chowder, grilled halibut and a creme brulee, 2 glasses of wine and a cocktail. That came to about $75, $90 with tip. There is a limited wine selection (2 each for major varietals) but they are inexpensive compared to my home in the SF bay area. The calamari was done as fingers, that I haven't seen before. It was nice and creative. Those must have been large squid. The claw chowder was unremarkable. It had fewer potatoes than usual (I like that) and fewer clams than usual (I didn't like that). It could use some more cream or butter and less corn starch, or whatever they used to thicken it. The halibut was good. Parts were well prepared and parts were a little dried out. The seasoning consisted of too much black pepper and wholly unnecessary hot red pepper. I do not ascribe to the current fascination that pepper replaces all other sense of seasoning. A little butter and salt on the well cooked parts would make for a delightful mouthful. The fish seemed very fresh. It was served with raw spinach and sauteed mushrooms and a bed of wild rice. I would have sauteed the spinach with the mushrooms (and some garlic and oil) and topped the fish with it. I think that could have addressed several issues for me. The creme brulee (sp?) was fine. I would go back to this restaurant again. It would be great to take my wife to if/when we vacation in Eureka. I would choose some other dishes but I expect to have a good meal.

We love the Humboldt Soup company! The meal deal is the best deal in town. There's enough food for four people. The produce is fresh, it's unlike any other sandwich/soup place in town. The soup is always hot and tasty! My one only complaint is the seating... but the food out weighs that! My favorite is the greek salad and tuna melt!
