Showed up shortly after opening last Friday and was happy to get a table since we did not have a reservation. Are server Merilee was attentive, personable and super friendly. My husband was so happy with his steak (he always wants the rarest the chef can do) our waitress went and got the chef Ben so he could tell him in person. Ordered the Calamari fries which someone on another review said was the best they ever had and I have to agree! They were tender and not overly battered like most places. The French Onion soup was delicious & savory. I can't remember what my meal description was because it was the fish special of the day, but it was Halibut on a rice pilaf with some kind of lemon aioli, topped with Dungeness crab. It was cooked perfect, nice and creamy and I enjoyed every bite. My husband got the Rib-eye and like I said he enjoyed his meal. I tried his and it just melted in my mouth. I can't wait to go back!
Probably the best dinner on our 2,700 mile trip. Maralee took great care of our group. The food & service was outstanding. What a great place to have dinner with friends.
Listen... if you don't go here, you and I are going to have a problem. The food is so good. The servers are so nice. The owner is a great guy. He chatted with us for a moment and he honestly seems genuine. I would 10/10 go back in a heartbeat. Please, don't even waste you're time looking elsewhere. Just come here. This restaurant is so good, I had to leave the review before I walked out the door.
Best Calamari ever.. and I don’t just mean in Eureka, or Humboldt.. I mean ever. I’ve had calamari which I thought was the best in Spain but this beats it tenfold! At first bite I regretted ordering anything else because I wanted to enjoy every last calamari fry. The fish and chips I had was cod. Absolutely delicious. Definitely the best Eureka has to offer. The views.. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of the water. Just stunning on a sunny day. The decor was simply perfect. Such an incredible experience!!
This was my 1st time trying. The service I received was phenomenal, hands down some real down to earth and nice people here. The surf and turf was amazing and was cooked exactly the way I liked. When I was ready to leave my server asked me if I would like my food boxed up and I was expecting that I would be doing it, but she did it for me, and I was incredibly impressed. Next time in town I will be back and that's a for sure.
The meal was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is great and the view is wonderful.
This is truly a gem and Eureka is lucky to have the Humboldt Bay Bistro and chef Brett. If you try only one thing have the crab cakes. My wife and I look for crab cakes everywhere we go and this is at the top of our list! But don't stop there! You just got to try everything from appetizers, entrees and the best desserts. Also, it's quite the place to visit in a converted home. So warm and friendly. You got to go!
Excellent sea food bay side, cozy, bistro with views of the Samoa bridge and boat docks Hallie and Aiden did a great job mixing our Caesar at the table and the clam chowder was amazing! We’ll stop again anytime we’re passing through.
Lovely dinner out with my coworkers! Everything was so good the bread was fresh out of the oven. I had the halibut special my friends had steak and lamb. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere. Thank you it was so nice to go out and have excellent food and drinks 🍹
Really enjoyed the food, service, and views. The restroom was large and clean. We attempted to call in advance to make a reservation, but no one answered. However, we had no issue getting a table for four, probably because it was a week night. Parking was free, parallel street parking, but we got a spot right out front (again, not sure how weekend parking would be). There is an accessible entrance in the back, and the front entrance has a flight of steps with elevation changes and narrow passageways throughout the restaurant, as it is a remodeled Victorian home.
