    Wow, what coastal gem! On a father-son road trip up the coast we went a little late in the evening and needed a bit of dinner before turning in. This is important because you MUST arrive and order before 8:00 PM! We arrived at 8:01 and there was a debate over whether we could eat (we even had someone call ahead); in the end they offered to make us burgers and fries. From there, everything was great! Doting service, charming atmosphere, live music and great burgers and fries. The rest of the menu looked mouthwateringly delicious and made us wish we could come back! Several of our fellow guests at the old hippie commune at Howard's Creek had dinner here and attested to the great food!

    The inside of the pub is decorated beautifully. It keeps some of the old like the vintage ceiling and lights, and some of the new.

    Our Air BNB hosts recommended the Abalone pub to us. It did not disappoint. I ordered a house made pasta. Linguini that was really light. It came smothered in a cream sauce that was delicious. Locally sourced veggies that were cooked to perfection and topped with chicken. The dish was fantastic. My wife had a locally sourced organic salad with goat cheese, peaches, prosciutto, mixed greens, pepitas and a vinergerette dressing that she loved. For desert we had a delicious cheese cake and some Ice cream. They have a good selection of beers and drinks. The menu has a good selection of different options. The chef here seems to be knocking it out of the park. The two ladies working the bar and serving tables were so very friendly, helpful and had a great sense of humor. Definitely recommend stopping for dinner if you go through Westport.

    The Village Pub at The Vi, Ferndale, CA…read more We almost walked away.... We'd been in and out of The Vi over the years, back when the building was clearly the best thing about the place. And that building deserves better than that. If you've never been to Ferndale, this Victorian is the centerpiece of the whole town. The main drag ends right at its front door. Walking in and looking at the original woodwork, that hundred-year-old bar, the staircases, the paint, it's a genuinely remarkable space. We just stopped coming because the food and drinks couldn't keep up with the room. What brought us back? A new menu. Five egg white drinks. My wife spotted them and that was enough. It's our anniversary, let's give it one more shot. We sat at the bar and ordered two whiskey sours. What arrived looked beautiful, but no foam. Turned out they were out of egg whites. That's a tough moment when it's the reason you drove to Ferndale on your anniversary, and my wife didn't hide her disappointment. The bartender was gracious, offered to comp the drinks, offered to make something else. We said no, we'd drink them. And honestly? Even without the whites, the craft was there. Ice cold, properly made, genuinely delicious. The bartender knew what she was doing. We ordered food and settled in. The farmer's lunch came out first and stopped us both cold. Sliced salami, a small cured sausage, three clean triangles of aged cheese, two thick golden toast points with a rosemary sprig tucked into a pool of herbed butter, and a generous pile of pickled carrots and onion with whole peppercorns. In rural Humboldt, plating usually means they slid it toward the table and called it done. This was intentional, centered, composed, magazine-worthy. Twelve dollars. We looked at each other like we'd found something. Then something happened that we're still talking about. The new owner, Jason, moved here from Nashville and brought a lot of that culinary energy with him. He'd been watching the whole egg white situation. He sent his bartender back over with an offer: could he interest my wife in one with egg whites? She said she thought they were out... Turns out, He'd gone to his house, which is in the building, and gotten fresh eggs. That's the kind of thing that turns a meal into a story. She got her whiskey sour. Proper froth, ice cold, executed right. Exactly what she came for. The mood shifted completely. We ordered dinner. She got the Oklahoma Smashburger, two smashed patties with caramelized onions spilling out the sides, American cheese melted clean, everything packed into a buttered and toasted brioche bun with handcut fries piled around it. That bun had a shine on it. I ordered the steak frites, flatiron, medium rare, pre-sliced and blanketed in a thick au poivre sauce with chopped parsley, a mountain of handcut fries alongside, and a ramekin of housemade dill ranch that had no business being that good. I want to be careful about how I say what I'm about to say. That steak is in the top five I've eaten in fifty years of eating steak everywhere I've ever traveled. I've had a 35-day dry aged tomahawk, I've sat at Niku in San Francisco, Stark's, The Palm in Las Vegas, ate from the hands of Bobby Flay & Morimoto himself so i know a great steak. This flatiron, at $32, belongs in that conversation. I didn't expect to find a top five steak again. I thought I'd already hit that ceiling. It's right down the street from my house. Jason came out to talk, thought we were travelers since no one recognized us. We told him we live in the next town over. He seemed genuinely happy to be here, proud of what he's building. You could see how he runs the place. Hire people who can shine, then get out of their way and back them up. That bartender was carrying the bar with real confidence. The chef came out and you could see in his face that it meant something to hear the food was landing because the Vi is now something. The building always was, and now the inside can finally match it. If you're in Humboldt County and want a real craft cocktail, a kitchen that's paying attention, and an owner who will literally go get you eggs from his own home on a Saturday night, this is the place. We'll be back. Often. Cheers and Well Done!

    My wife and I came to Ferndale for the day and made reservations at the Pub form7 pm. when we…read morearrived we were quickly seated. After waiting 15 minutes for the waitress to come with menus we asked the matire de if we could get some service. Shortly thereafter a waitress did come with menus and glasses of water She returned to take our order. I ordered the shrimp and pasta With iced tea. My wife ordered the steak with a hard cider. A few minutes later she returns and says they're out of ice tea. Ok, I'll stick with water. A few minutes later she returns and says they're out of the steak. So my wife order something else. Now we're getting angry. This should not happen. But it gets worse. She returns a third time and says they're out of hard cider. I told here "we're done!" We got up and left. Terrible experience and I'll never return

    A great spot. I was not expecting the level and magnitude of elegance and composition that I found…read morein the dishes here. Service is so friendly and I felt super taken care of. Pre-dinner popcorn is a great touch, and it's top notch popcorn - crisp and salted well. Carrot salad - loved this. Smoky carrots roasted nice and soft with some sweetness, some crunch, some creaminess, and a tasty dressing. Great dish! White bean soup - this is very savory and hearty, perfect on a cold day, and the portion is generous too! The sundae is such a great idea. Classic soft serve with pretty much every topping option you can think of. Thank you for the great experience and the great meal!

    Food choices are limited here in Point Arena, especially during the week so we decided to give this…read moreplace a try since they had a jazz quartet performing and pier place was closed. The place is lively, the vibes are great, and the service attentive- however, the food is another story. We started out with a michelada and a sangria - both were decent. Next ordered the bean dip that came with a beet hummus and a black bean dip plus bread to eat it with. The dips were just ok flavor wise, but the bread that it came with was burnt, overly salty and just not enjoyable. We were hungry and hoping this was just the wrong item to order. So we ordered the buffalo wings that took FOREVER to come out and it's probably because they were busy overcooking them- super dry chicken meat and the most unpalatable potato wedges that I have been served. Several pieces looked rotten and they were completely drenched in oil. No crisp, overcooked- disgusting. Paid $70 + tip and left hungry. Unfortunately, once we left there no other food places were open. Won't be back.
