Upon high recommendations, the Bed & Breadfast in Mendocino that we were staying at for our 35th Wedding Anniversary made reservations for our special dinner.
As suggested, to maximize our chances for a nice table, we arrived at 5:30. The hostess seated us at the smallest table in direct summer sunlight. When we asked to be moved, she stated that the remaining tables would be exposed to that much sunlight soon and that moving would make no difference. As we had never dined here before, we trusted her judgement. Our table was not out of direct sun for 1 hour and 15 minutes and the remaining tables never had as much summer sun. The hostess also failed to advise our server of the special occasion.
While the food was very good and our waitress, when advised of the situation, made an extra effort to provide exceptional service - the evening was still overshadowed by the poor service of the hostess.
If you choose to celebrate a special occasion at this restaurant, our suggestion is to deal directly with management staff and not trust service levels to a hostess with sub-standard customer service skills.
Picturesque Backdrop for Wedding or Other Event: My niece was married in an outdoor ceremony just outside the restaurant, overlooking the cove here. With the dramatic cliffs and lovely span of bridge as backdrops, along with the lushly planted gardens in the foreground, hers are some of the most beautiful wedding photos we've seen. The wind can be a detriment and the fog rolls in quickly, but on my niece's day the weather cooperated magnificently.
