    Stopped in for dinner recently and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. We were greeted by the bartender walking in and the hostess seconds later. She led us to a comfortable booth with menus in hand. Once seated, a carafe of water was delivered to our table. Our server was very kind, friendly and professional and she made our dining experience that much better. A small concise menu, with some great locally caught seafood. Several small plate options and some good daily specials. This is also true "Nor-Cal" slow dining, so sit back relax and enjoy the ride... and it was worth it here. We started with some popcorn and pastacios with paprika as an appetizer, crunchy, salty and spicy its a great bar snack, along with a dozen fresh local Humboldt bay Kumamoto oysters on the half shelf, they are in one word - delicious. Next the of soup of the day, a bowl of fresh corn bisque that was quite tasty and full flavored. Along with some beautiful crostini with fresh a Salmon mousse, again very good. Then for the entree, again fresh local caught Salmon (like seriously fresh caught that day by one of the owners) cooked to perfection and serves over a polenta with brocollini and mushrooms, it was spectacular. Along with a cold tap of another local, Redwood Curtain Pilsner. All in all an exceptional meal, we will return and recommended. Dinner start to finish, from the moment we were greeted to the time we left, two hours and some change and we enjoyed every bit of it. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the great service 00812

    Direct from the Grand Ole Opry! Ladies and gentlemen, it's the inimitable braying of Miss Phatsy Kline! "Crazy... I'm crazy for feelin' so hungry I'm crazy... crazy for feelin' so starved I knew you'd feed me as long as you wanted And then someday I'd leave the plate for somebody new..." When I saw the name of this place, I just felt a need for me and Jamie W. to try it as part of our weekender in Eureka. The name was just too retro-quaint to ignore even though we didn't know anything about the food. When we walked in, it felt more like a 1970's-era fern bar with black lighting with dining tables at a premium. In fact, we had to dine on a high-top and sit on stools. However, we were willing to overlook the lack of comfort if the food was good. Our feeling was that Phatsy's is a tavern trying to find its legs as a fine dining restaurant. The result was a mixed bag for us. It appeared they do fine on bar bites like the $13 Chickpea Cakes served on a bed of greens with tzatziki dressing, cucumber, avocado, and roasted cashews (photo: https://bit.ly/3aoq8Cs). While it was a bit of a mess from a presentation standpoint, it was a satisfying veggie option with nice consistency on the cakes. The $13 Arugula & Baby Greens was too similar in preparation and ingredients to the chickpea cakes to provide us with real variety, but it was quite a robust and flavorful entree serving of salad with pomme fruit, chickpea, blue cheese, and cranberries, all of it drizzled with avocado dressing and accompanied by a wedge of papadum (photo: https://bit.ly/3ay5u2R). On the downside was our shared entree from their special menu updates. We tried the $21 Sweet Ancho-Rubbed Tri-Tip and found it way too chewy. We weren't asked what would be our preferred doneness, and while we veer toward rare, just not this rare as it was really challenging to digest even in a red wine demi glacé. It came with roasted, whipped potatoes, a welcome sight, as well as a veggie medley of zucchini, sweet peas, and Brussels sprouts (photo: https://bit.ly/397pj0K). Despite the abundance of food and a live piano, I have to admit we were disappointed. "Worry... why do I let myself worry? Wonderin' what in the world did I eat? Crazy for thinking that my stomach could hold it I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin' And I'm crazy for eatin' that meat." FOOD - 3 stars...the bar bites and sides worked, but that tri-tip was a bust AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...definitely more of a vintage tavern during the disco era SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,cordial enough TOTAL - 3 stars...I wonder if Patsy would've liked Phatsy's RELATED - Exploring the Lost Coast? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2A1YVjy

    Mule and a beer

    I had saw here on yelp that they allow dogs here, like actually inside. But I guess it's an unofficial policy, so please keep it a "well known" secret. I thought they had a patio area, but I didn't see any when I went so I asked the owner/bartender and he told me unofficially, it was alright. So we just sat in the corner with our pup. It was super nice. We were able to enjoy our drinks without leaving our dog behind. They have a menu of specialty drinks but I just ended up with a Moscow mule and my hubby had a Lost Coast beer. It's an inexpensive place for the basic drinks. I think they had specialty cocktails for $15-16. They have some snacks but we didn't get any nor did I see anyone else noshing. It was super chill inside. They played some mellow music. The vibe was almost speakeasy type. The owner even put down a bowl of water for the dog and showed us cute pics of his pup also. So that was much appreciated. They were doing Edger Allen Poe readings next door or in another room of this place so there were cute visitors coming and going, which definitely added to the vibe. This place is located in the Eagle House.

    We had a WONDERFUL time! Emily, the bartender, is the best. Hands down. Fun atmosphere in a historic building with so much charm! My husband and I had a BLAST! We stayed for five hours. Wonderful slice of culture. Emily knows her stuff! If you're a literature fan? Even better! 11/10 Recommend!

    This place is the Cat`s Pajamas !! The moment you walk in you can notice the unusual quirkiness of this place . The ambience is eccentric and instantly attracts you to some of the eclectic design choices.. floor covered in pennies, high shelves with books , unusual paintings ,tall ceilings and very comfy seating. We loved the vibe instantly but were disappointed when we found out that the kitchen was closed even as early as 5 PM due to some staff shortage and they only could provide food from the restaurant next door . However , we came in more for the craft cocktails than anything else so we proceeded to order those .I got a pistol peach and my hubby asked the bartender to make him an Old Fashioned . We also got the Poke Nachos . The drinks were lovely but expensive. I am all for spending on a well made cocktail but did not find the drinks as good as the prices they charged. The staff was sweet and very efficient . parking was right outside on the streets but I did find the other end of the street a little sketchy to park at .

    Oysters.

    We had an absolutely wonderful cocktail hour meal here! We started with cocktails from their interesting and fun list and then ordered most every food item off their menu, which is one of the things I love about a small plates menu... you get to try a bit of everything. We thoroughly enjoyed oysters (raw), seared scallops on a bed of grains with broccolini with a fennel heart and jicama salad and milk chile sauce, a crimini and oyster mushroom bisque, and a flatbread with pesto sauce, sauteed trumpet mushrooms, leeks, and a mix of feta and pecorino cheeses. We finished things off by sharing their honey apple cake with almond crumble crust and vanilla ice cream. The lovely service, space, and ambiance perfectly complemented our meal here.

    The drinks were very flavorful, and the food was unique and delicious. This is a repeat when I return to Eureka. The parlor was beautifully set up. The service was great. Overall, it is a fun place to relax and enjoy some tasty treats.

    Truffled quail egg shooters, drunken ($18)
    Sandee L.

    Phatsy Kline's is a historic theater converted into a restaurant/lounge. They did a great job with the renovations in steampunk/slightly goth decor. - Cardamom rose ($12): The grapefruit overpowered every other ingredient in this drink. 2/5 - Lavender pisco sour ($11): Frothy, light and refreshing. 4/5 - Truffled quail egg shooters, drunken ($18): Loved the rich quail egg and the sake back, and the presentation was so fun! There was too much soy, no trace of truffle, and it needed something acidic. Maybe some ponzu? 3/5 - Humboldt bay oysters ($3/ea): Yummy chèvre topping. The oysters were cooked well too. Slightly fishy. 3/5 - Phyllo cigars ($15): Interesting concept. I like beets and I like phyllo. The amount of beets in these cigars made them super floppy and a bit soggy. A solid vegetarian dish. 3/5 - Slow cooked birria ($20): Made from goat, the way it's traditionally made. We were excited because we've only had beef birria until now. If we hadn't been told it was goat, we wouldn't be able to tell. Tender, but extremely salty. 2/5 Really great presentation, but the food itself fell a bit short. Service was also slow and we had to ask for napkins, plates, and utensils.

    chickpea fritters (don't recommend)

    First off, I was able to make phone reservations with Google assistant. I've never tried this before and was stoked when I received an email that my table was booked! My chosen time wasn't available but I could specify a preferred time range. This is a great option for a phone-shy millennial like me, I just wish there was a recording of what the assistant actually said :):) did it sound human? too human? I will never know!! we were seated immediately, service was super friendly at first, but lacking afterwards. very cute booths and decor all around. unfortunately they were out of most items because they were reserving them for a larger party. that was super disappointing. drinks 5/5: my non alcoholic drink (Frida Kahlo?) was amazing! I asked for it less sweet and they made it just right. really brought out the tea flavors chickpea cakes 2/5: they looked yummy but were unfortunately very very bland. there was no seasoning or flavor and it was hard to eat phyllo cigars stuffed with beets 3/5 : this was an interesting concept, it tasted better than the chickpea cakes but also lacked flavor. however it paired well with the sauce soup of the day (butternut squash) 2/5: ugh, the blandness is back!! the soup was impossible to finish. the accompanying garlic knots were decent seafood special (seared scallops) 5/5: my husband ordered this and really liked it. I tried the roasted veggies and black rice, both were great creme brulee 5/5: this had an orange blossom flavor and was really good! one of the best I've had overall I chose 3 stars because we couldn't try their more interesting items and what we ordered missed the mark most of the time. the food also took a very long time to come out (30-40 min). the hotel is definitely interesting but not worth the price we paid.

    Best craft cocktails I've ever had!

    A MUST when visiting Old Town Eureka! The coolest ambiance, tastiest cocktails and small plates, and great service every time.

    Limited food in limited quantities. For such a large space, you'd think they wouldn't run out of food by 8pm on a Friday night!

So after trying to have a conversation only to be ignored multiple times kind of pissed me off so just tipped like 15% when I normally do 30% or 50% and left a note. To which I was planning on apologizing but before could even say anything said smart ass comment about me leaving a note about him ignoring me and refused any kind of service. Cool place and environment but bartenders are easily most emotional employees at a bar I have ever experienced in my life and like I said all the drama is on Reddit. Sals is another great LGBTQ option if you rather not be involved in drama or making friends with bartenders.

I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.

Perhaps they were busier than two ladies could handle. Ordered food with our non-alcoholic beverage to hopefully save time. Potato skins WITHOUT onions and food for the kids were requested to come first, entrees after. We waited an hour for food and nearly left, then potato skins WITH nasty green onions arrived and so did everything else. Probably a good thing everything came so my son and husband could start scarfing. My daughter passed the point of being reasonable for anything but fries, so I had to carry her around while the stuff was packed up. Just as well, my Thai salad was a horrible disappointment with chicken as dry as jerky, slimy spring lettuce, limited and bland peanut sauce. I ate 3 bites and lost my appetite. I tried eating the onion laden potato skins, but they were so flavorless that salt couldn't even perk them up. I should have had fish& chips I guess, it's the only thing I remembered they did well before they moved twice. Oh and my son and I went to the bathroom to wash our hands before dinner. The rage music coming from the kitchen was so loud that we couldn't hear each other at the sink. The sink was nearly overflowing and paper towels were haphazardly sitting on the edge of the counter instead of the dispenser. Pretty sure I dried our hands on dirty towels. I didn't bother to really complain, the staff seemed oblivious to any needs or cared to inquire when I declined a box (while stating the salad was horrible). Plus I wasn't interested in waiting for a remake, whatsoever. I couldn't wait to get out of there for my own sanity; and my kids did remarkable considering the very loud environment and long wait. We won't be back, and we remembered why we never made it a point to dine there.
