A great spot. I was not expecting the level and magnitude of elegance and composition that I found in 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! read more

Food choices are limited here in Point Arena, especially during the week so we decided to give this place 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. read more

Great place to hang out, grab a drink and some decent pub food with family/friends and catch original live music ! We are fairly new FT residents of N Sonoma county (@ TSR) and point arena is increasingly our go to place for musical events and dining. So when friends asked us to join them for drinks and dinner at The Record we decided to make an evening of it and glad we did ! I've been at The Record for pre-show drinks before but last night we had a chance to catch "Bar Jay Bar and his family band" performing original honky tonk music and dinner - and it was great evening out ! Beers on tap were tasty and of a wide variety of styles, we ordered a large salad to share as well as the Ruben sammie and wings and all were tasty. We ended with soft serve (sadly they were sold out of the cookies for the sundae!). We also had some Pinots and pours were generous and they kept topping off popcorn and waters at our table ! Great crew of staff members, including Paul at the bar - and the vibe was great ! This is on our regular weekly rotation now ! Check it out and thank me later !! Keep up the great job Paul and the Record crew !! Keep the live music shows as well !! read more

Visited this spot while in town for the week with my mom. The interior is decorated so beautifully and they bring you the most flavorful buttered popcorn to snack on while you're looking at the menu. The service was friendly and pretty fast. I ordered a huckleberry cocktail and it was so delicious, I also had their Mac and cheese which was very tasty but undercooked slightly so the center was still cold while the outer layer was molten. I ate around the outside to avoid the cold parts. My mom had a grilled cheese and raved about it though! Would definitely come back to give it another try if I'm back in town. read more

Lively spot with yummy food and super friendly service. It was hopping in a Friday evening. Even so, the owner came by our table several times to chat. And the young chef did, also! Enjoyed an amuse-bouche popcorn (fun!), Anchor Bay Brewers Pilsner, chicken wings, potato leek soup (with big chunks of potato). Will definitely be back for more. 5/2/25 read more

Great community space with a locally-sourced menu! I cannot begin to express how stoked I am that Paul & Kim opened the Record! This historic building on Main Street in Point Arena was never meant to sit empty. They have transformed it into The local gathering spot with a well-curated menu, top notch beverages (alcoholic and zero-proof) and rotating local entertainment (live music and poetry). For our inaugural visit, we ordered a sampling of items. Before we had even ordered, we were greeted with just-popped popcorn made in their vintage popcorn maker. We started with a pint of their Point Arena Brewers hazy IPA and a glass of Woody's N/A Blanc de Blanc wine. Both were the perfect accompaniment to the salty & buttery popcorn snack! After our aperitive, we ordered a bowl of the Kabocha squash and leek soup, plus their smoked chicken wings with blue cheese herb sauce and Pelican bread pretzel roll. Both were delicious, but my personal preference was sneaking the pretzel roll from the chicken wings to dip in the soup - delicious! We ordered a second round of beverages - the "Stay While" (a ginger, peach, honey bush iced tea) and another hazy IPA - and digested for a bit before wrapping up the experience with their homemade, vegan soft-serve ice cream. I asked Kim (co-owner) to prepare me a sweet treat "her way" and was surprised with a decadent combination of chocolate soft-serve topped with coconut flakes, black sesame seeds and a drizzle of Ecuadorian chocolate. The food and drinks are all prepared intentionally and plated beautifully, and the service is friendly and welcoming. We ended up staying much longer than anticipated; talking with other patrons and enjoying the ambience. I am already looking forward to returning! read more

What a gem! The Record nails that perfect mix of great food, local charm, and live music energy. We loved the cozy vibe, friendly staff, and seriously tasty eats (the grilled cheese is next-level). The live band had everyone smiling. It feels like the kind of place where locals and travelers blend right in together. Don't miss this spot -- great tunes, great food, great people. Heads-up tips: They operate Weds-Sat, 3:00-10:00 PM so plan accordingly. No reservations -- get there early on busy nights. If live music is your jam, check their schedule and time your visit for a weekend or evening performance. All told, The Record is the kind of place you're glad exists in a small town. It mixes good food, drinks, music, and heart -- a 5-star gem in Point Arena. read more

Along the Mendonoma coast there aren't many restaurants that serve excellent food & drinks at a reasonable cost. The Record is doing a fantastic job! We split a Ruben sandwich and it was amazing. They have done a great job with the beer selections and non-alcoholic options too. The menu has a lot to offer everyone. It is seasonal and the chef has done a great job working with local farms. The owners are very friendly and work really hard to make sure you feel welcome. The overall dining experience was like going to their house for dinner. If you haven't been to The Record, you're missing out. We can wait to return and support this small local restaurant. read more

It seemed like the whole town was out to hear music and we were happy to get a table. The focaccia was seriously excellent and its side of green olives with olive oil was perfect with our drinks (there's beer and wine only btw). The free popcorn was fresh and really good. Note that the menu is heavy on cheese and dairy, so it's a bit tough if you have to avoid those. read more

We had a fabulous visit to The Record. They are located in downtown Point Arena in the cutest little building with a nice outside deck. They often have live music which is a nice touch. We enjoyed their menu and how much thought went into the non alcoholic options. The beer is also brewed by them and very good. We loved their wings with the chili oil on them. And the mushroom sandwich was also super flavorful. We can't wait to come back and visit as it's such a short drive from Sea Ranch which we visit often. read more

On a Thursday I called in to see if they had seating for 3, the nice man that answered made sure that we could go in. We arrived approx 5:30 and the was a guitarist singing and it was a bit loud but nice to see in a quiet little town. We ordered vanilla ice cream with two toppings, a focaccia with olive oil and a pesto chicken sandwich with 1 ice tea (artesinal). All came to $41. I gave a $15 tip. The food came out nicely prepared and hot and I asked for a refill of the 8 oz iced tea. The waiter said that will be $5. I asked could it just be a refill and he went to ask and nope, it's $5. Perhaps the refill could've just been a refill. The place is painted a nice dark blue on the building and nicely decorated on the inside. I'll only likely be in this town one time. I don't think I'll visit again. read more

Awesome little place! Stopped by when visiting the area. Friendly folks, great atmosphere, and the food was delicious. Prices are reasonable and I really appreciated the large number of non-alcoholic options. Fancy hot tea? At a bar? Great! Try the Enchanted, it was very relaxing. read more

My husband and I stopped by for a late lunch. We loved the atmosphere of the interior. An old building redesigned and not overdone. Lots of personal touches from the owner's collection. We especially enjoyed the free juke box with a good mix of music to choose from. When we sat down they brought a cold bottle of water with a pretty wooden bowl of freshly made popcorn covered in butter. I had the homemade polenta with caramelized onions and sausage. Very tasty and not salty. My husband had the Ruben Sandwich which he enjoyed. We shared a soft serve vanilla/chocolate swirl without any of the offered toppings. We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

Waiters have the craziest attitude. They didn't acknowledge us for 15 mins when we arrived. Not a welcoming atmosphere and only white people. You can only order at the bar and will get ignored by the waiters. Don't go here if you're not an old white person. read more

We were a table of 4 on a Wednesday evening. As we sat down, 2 bowls of fresh popcorn appeared on the table. The building has been restored and the owners did an amazing job. We had the "shareable " summer salad, which was enough for all 4 of us. We also had a mushroom melt, a pulled pork sandwich and the chicken wings with blue cheese. Everything was fresh and delicious. Also very accommodating to dietary restrictions, which was very appreciated. If you're in Point Arena, it's worth stopping here. read more

We went to the newly opened The Record in downtown Point Arena tonight and had a wonderful time. The room is warm and casual complete with well curated tchotchkes and windows which look across HWY 1, downtown Point Arena, and the hills beyond. The menu is focused & well thought out farm to table, elevated pub grub. We appreciated all the little touches like vintage silverware & plates. Beautiful glass tea pots with better quality loose tea, and house brewed craft beer were delicious. The sandwiches (grilled cheese & chicken pesto) and the baby greens salad were yummy, well prepared and featured local ingredients. Service was friendly and efficient. We greatly appreciate what the new owners are doing for the community by opening The Record! read more

Really great addition to Point Arena. Very welcoming, friendly staff and a delicious menu is seasonal and local food, The most warm, crunchy, savory and tasty grilled cheese sandwich! Love the mocktails, especially the flowers frozen into the ice cubes. Anything with smoked cod is amazing! I have also enjoyed a warm bowl of lentil soup which was perfect on a chilly coast night. Stop in, enjoy the menu and maybe catch some live music! Cheers to this new spot and the best to the owners as I really like what they are offering in Point Arena. read more

I can't say enough good things about The Record! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and completely at home. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of cozy and stylish, with just the right amount of small-town charm. And the food? Honestly, it's next-level. Every bite was bursting with flavor -- clearly made with fresh ingredients, skill, and love. You can tell the chef takes pride in every dish, balancing creativity with comfort food vibes. I left wishing I could somehow take the entire menu home with me. The service was just as impressive as the food. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure guests have a great time. It felt like more than just a meal -- it was an experience. If you're anywhere near Point Arena, run, don't walk to The Record. Super dog friendly and kid friendly. My daughter won't stop talking about the grilled chees and soft serve. It's the kind of place you'll keep thinking about long after your plate is clean. I'm already planning my next trip back! read more

The owners did a very nice job creating a comfortable, elegant country atmosphere with dark green walls, lots of wood and some local paintings and a few farm implements. Its clean, orderly and not overwhelming. The sandwiches and beverages were masterly prepared. The chef did something I've never seen but is amazing. After cutting the sandwich diagonally, the oozing cheese from the cut side was lightly browned, sealing the sandwich and providing a thin layer of crusted cheese. If this was by design, it was brilliant. The grilled Chicken Pesto Melt was fantastic. The pesto was perfect - enough to season but not overwhelming the cheese and chicken. My wife's Grilled Cheese sandwich was a cheese lover's banquet, the abundant mozzarella and cheddar blended perfectly. Both sandwiches had that distinctive cut end cheese crust. The only disappointment was pairing these delicious sandwiches with waffle potato chips (and a fork for an unknown purpose). A pairing with a small serving of spaghetti aglio e olio, homemade potato salad, herbs in white wine vinaigrette, etc. would have been better matches considering the sandwich quality and price. On a more positive note, the "Stay A While" cold drink of ginger, peach and honeybush notes was at another level of beverage bliss. We especially liked the thoughtful detail of freezing a flower in each ice cube. This is a detail rarely seen, but a touch on the road to a Michelin star. It's refreshing to see a large assortment of house-made, healthy non-alcoholic beverages as we try to eat healthier. We'll return! read more

What a wonderful addition to the Point Arena dining scene! I can easily see The Record becoming a destination restaurant known for top quality food and beverages. The sandwiches are a few notches above what one would expect - we enjoyed the pulled pork and the mushroom melt. Salads are excellent and very fresh. Chicken wings with local herbs are also a must! We didn't really have room left for the soft serve ice cream dessert but I'm glad we went ahead and got it. Plenty of fun toppings to choose from - we loved the vanilla topped with chocolate sauce and lavender honey. Beautiful inside and a lovely dog-friendly deck outside. The service is friendly and spot on - and it was so nice of the chef to come out and say hello. read more

Fantastic! Cozy, homey vibe that captures Point Arena's trees-to-seas landcape. Friendly, attentive service. Solid list of Point Area Brewing beers (the hubs loved the pilsner) and wines from the area and plenty of interesting N/A options. Every single piece of food that hit our table was soooo delicious and made with love -- from the popcorn that our server gave us as soon as we sat down to the (huge) Caesar Salad with shredded chicken (def big enough for two or more to share -- we ate it as leftovers the next day and was just as delicious, if not as fresh), the jalapeño-cheddar corn bread with honey butter (MARRY ME), and the smoked chicken wings (that came with a slab of Pelican Bread foccacia). Oh, and great tunes coming out of the jukebox all night long! It was a little chilly/foggy the night we were there; we will most definitely be back, hopefully on a sunny day when we can enjoy the spacious outdoor patio. So glad to have The Record in PA! read more

It's so great to have a new gathering space on Main Street! The space was very full and lively when I stepped in. There's a new performance stage and bench seating around the room. I didn't look too deeply at the food menu, but the beverage menu looked great -- lots of local brews, including local Oz cider, as n/a beer and wine (yay!) and some very interesting teas. I can't wait to spend more time here. read more
