Humboldt Bay Bistro 1436 2nd Street, Eureka, CA 95501

"Had an amazing dinner with wonderful community friends. One of the specials was Grilled Salmon with Lump Crab over Rizzoto...OMG absolutely delicious! All of the meals at the table looked really good! Everyone was very friendly & patient with our big group. Will definitely come back!"

"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!!"
