Benbow Inn Restaurant

"Hotel is beautiful, would stay again. Will not be giving my money to this restaurant again. We went in last night and ordered the wedge salad for $18. What arrived was an offensively small and sad portion - the smallest salad either of us have ever received in a restaurant. Like plane food portions and quality. Sloppily dressed, a few tiny toppings dumped on top. We were both shocked. This place has fancy restaurant prices, and the food is bar quality."

"Great hotel. Really like the scones and coffee."

"The location is beautiful. Good seating inside and outside. The food is great. It's a good place to take business associates or go out for a nice dinner in Southern Humboldt. The hotel is quaint and historic."

"We had a lovely dinner last night. I had coq au vin and she had an eggplant dish. The entrees were fantastic. We saw lots of other great looking dishes being served around us to the rather casually dressed patrons. Service was pleasant and attentive, and we had nice cocktails from the bar. This AM (Sunday) I went for brunch (8AM - 1PM), in which one orders one of the rather normal breakfast items. I was quite alone at 845! I ordered a 2-egg scramble, and requested fruit substituted for potatoes, and got a lovely fruit bowl of fresh, appetizing berries and banana slices. The only issue was the rather young staff had trouble bringing butter, coffee, and pepper to the table. It didn't ruin the meal, just a little annoying. In summary, the food and drinks were great, staff were friendly and pleasing, but some of the most youthful staff need more experience. Should be 4.5 stars for service"
