MacCallum House

It's a charming place to visit in Mendocino. The food was good overall, though not perfect. The fish needed a bit more flavor, but we added the sauce from our oyster plate, which made it great. The duck was delicious, but the Brussels sprouts were too fried and dry. The salad was very good. Overall, it was a good experience.

My husband booked this place for dinner. It was a great atmosphere. It was busy, because they had a rehearsal dinner going on. We decided to do the prefix dinner with wine pairing. It was very goid, but very expensive. The most I think we ever paid for a dinner.😐 They had a problem with a black beetles, that would jump on you. That was the worst thing about the evening. Need to get the pest control out there. Should have complementary offered a discount, but I guess they didn't think it was issue.

Salad with avocado toast was super fresh and delicious! Service was a little slow but great atmosphere. Went here again for dinner, great food again! The Manhattan Noir cocktail and the Grilled Peach Napoleon desert were amazing!

We had a very good dinner while staying here at the inn. For cocktails my wife had the Green Goddess (spin on a gimlet) and I had the Pandemic Sour (couldn't resist the name). We had the cheese plate appetizer, followed by a good beet salad. The mains were the duck confit and the pasta special (housemade fettuccini with trumpet mushrooms and chicken). All were very good. This was one of our top two meals during our stay in Mendocino. All the dining was outside under a covered tent, with heaters. (Heads up if you stay at the inn they aren't serving breakfast yet)

Celebrated an anniversary here and had great time here. Our waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable. Best dish we had was their scallops appetizer, delicious! Every course was perfectly heated to that just right temp, sounds small but makes a difference. Nice seating options, can see sunset. Also save room for dessert if you can, their ice cream was yummy.

Saffron Risotto was superb while the lamb was weirdly chewy and lukewarm when it arrived to our table. Good flavors, and ambience.

Came in mid day needing to charge my Electric Vehicle. They have a Tesla Destination Charger, and is available for guests, but they don’t serve lunch. I asked if I could charge my car, they suggested if I made a reservation for dinner. Deal! Spent next few hours walking the cliffs and town with my dog, while racking up electrons into my electron tank. Bar opens at 5pm, dinner starts at 5:30. Staff is super friendly and this Inn is smack in the middle of town near coffee shops (but they all close near 4ish).

Came here for the five course meal with wine pairing. The food was excellent from ingredients to preparation and presentation. The wine (most local) paired very well and the overall progression of the courses was on point. I had the standard meal and my wife had the vegetarian. The wait staff was all very friendly and accommodating. We were sat quickly and spent about 3 hours there in total. The setup is clearly one of transition and necessity with the pandemic. There is a big tent on the front lawn with string lights and patio heaters. I think this is the only place where they fell short of my expectations. We didn't have any older members of our party but if we did I would be concerned about trip hazards with the uneven grass. My biggest gripe is the tables and chairs. Every table and chair rocked. I think they were aiming for a "shabby chic" but the result is more "highschool shop class". I would understand this under initial circumstances. But they have been hosting people outside for a while. If you're planning to be there for three hours, bring something with you to stick under the table legs. To take some Dramamine. Or both.

Amazing and quaint, historic atmosphere. Our food was one of the best meals I've had in a long time . Service was wonderful

Best breakfast in Mendocino. The menu is very limited but each item is perfection & HOUSE MADE! Plus it's just as cute as can be. You can sit inside which is very cozy with a fireplace & all. Or if you're like me & get too warm then sitting outside on the wrap around porch is perfect. Their breakfast potatoes might be my favorite ever made. So much flavor! Poached eggs on the Benedict were exactly right. Jammy yolk & bouncy whites. Plus it's on house made sourdough bread.

Popped in for a drink at MacCallum House's bar. The interior was gorgeous as it lies within an older house. The bar area was accented from natural light mixed with deep wood and earth tones. I ordered the Elderflower Martini with was floral and bright. My husband ordered the Blueberry Basil Bliss which was fruity yet herbaceous. We enjoyed our drinks, our server did a great job tending to us, and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

We come here every year for breakfast which is always exceptional, but we came for the first time to enjoy one of the best halibut entrees we've ever had! We were served by Adam who did an outstanding job! Thank you!

This historic house is an outstanding restaurant. We tried the chefs tasting menu, although when finished I feel like we ate full plates! LOL! The service was great and we also enjoyed the whiskey pairing..highly recommend if you enjoy whiskey or bourbon! Would definitely go back. The duck was my favorite dish even though I forgot to take a picture of it.

We had brunch on a busy Saturday and it was delicious! We sat inside at a cute corner window table. My husband ordered the 2 eggs, potatoes and sausage and I ordered the blackberry, lemon pancakes. The food came out quickly and was devoured in no time. Two other highlights- the homemade in house toast was fabulous and the Thanksgiving MacCallum Coffee! Yum!

If you're looking for a fancy dining experience in Mendocino this is it. We did the tasting menu and they had a vegetarian option available, which I greatly appreciated. Our server was delightful. We sat indoors by the large windows and had a lovely view. Everything had excellent presentation and a unique medley of flavors. Hope to be back soon!

Extremely disappointing. My vegetarian son ordered the vegetarian tasting menu. My husband & I weren't hungry enough for a 5 course tasting menu so we each ordered one of the nightly specials that were offered by the waiter. After drinks were served, the waiter returned to tell us that either the entire table ordered a tasting menu, or none of us could. Unbelievable! We were pressed for time, didn't have a Plan B restaurant, and our son really wanted to try the vegetarian tasting menu, so all 3 of us ordered a tasting menu. Now . . . these meals were $90 for the vegetarian version and $110 for the omnivore, so they should have been incredible. Unfortunately, almost every dish was mediocre to tasteless. My husband said a couple of his meat dishes were good, but nothing special. Also, for a tasting menu, the portions were way too large. Finally, the service was inconsistent. Several times, we didn't have the utensils required for the dish, e.g., no soup spoons for the chowder. And why didn't the waiter know about the tasting menu issue from the get go? Considering that 20% gratuity was automatically added to the check, the service should have been stellar. We visit Mendocino annually and other Yelp reviews led us to MacCallum House, so we anticipated an exceptional dinner, especially since it was $400 for the 3 of us. However, we will absolutely avoid this restaurant in the future.

Food & Drinks were excellent. Server was kind and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy. 10/10 Recommend.

Our entree's were delicious! The fireplace made the dining room nice and toasty. They have cocktails, wine by the glass, some half bottle options, and bottles. We went on a Saturday 5pm reservations and I could tell our waitress was very busy helping so many other tables She juggled us so well she was a star her name was Aurora. The saffron risotto was delicious and my filet was a perfectly cooked cut. Definitely recommend, although I'm sure anything on their menu is delish. I recommend you toast with a Roderer brut cheers! (I was a little skeptical at first walking into the restaurant because it was a historic building but well kept.)

We didn't know what to expect. But it hit every mark. We were seated by the fireplace and greeted by Milo our amazing server. Bottle of local Pinot, a perfect pairing to everything. Best filet mignon I've ever had, fried chicken is a must have (we almost ordered one to go) hamburger meat is flown in and worth every penny.... Service is phenomenal and matches the quality of the food. Ambience is so beautiful. A must visit when you come to Mendocino. Absolutely delicious.

Stopped by here last night while in town for the weekend with my partner - we had made a reservation to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We were really looking forward to this meal as we had booked it a few weeks in advance. The MacCallum House restaurant itself was very nice - rustic, old and classic. There's a nice fireplace, a bar- it definitely feels like and old school American inn. We had high hopes after walking in. Unfortunately that was the peak of our meal. I'm not sure if the place was super overwhelmed but service was extremely delayed and the food was pretty underwhelming. For Drinks , we each got a cocktail -I got a blood orange drink that was pretty solid, and my partner got the tangerine spritz which she didn't quite like. It took about 30 minutes for our drinks to come out As for food, we got the three cheese plate, the nightly noodle dish (which they made vegetarian for us), and the mushroom gnocchi along with a side of the deep fried Brussel sprouts. The cheese board was solid - presentation wise it left a little to be desired but the cheese selection was good and the accompanying sides were nice. We finally got our main dishes an hour and forty minutes after arriving .... And they were not worth the wait. Both dishes had a solid base idea but the execution was poor. The nightly noodle was a fettuccine dish with pesto, mushrooms, and spinach. My partner loves pesto and this dish was pesto adjacent at best. The house made noodles were actually nice though. The gnocchi also didn't live up to our expectations. The only flavor that really shined through was balsamic vinegar. Lastly, the Brussel sprouts were fried to a burnt crisp. I do like my Brussel sprouts crispy but this was taking it too far. The flavor was nice but the fact it was so over fried made it unenjoyable. All of the dishes were under seasoned and underwhelming. We did end up taking the leftovers home and thought of a few ways to doctor/ spruce them up. With lackluster food and a severe delay service , I don't think I can recommend this establishment to anyone. I will not be visiting here again the next time I'm in town. 1/5

Excellent service. Accommodated us at 9:45am. Lovely ambiance with a fire and foggy garden porch seating. Food was fabulous with the huevos rancheros, eggs over easy, crispy bacon, fresh squeezed grapefruit juice, and a cortado.

We came here on Sunday Memorial Day weekend and while other places had a long line outside this place took us in and gave us a place to sit with a really nice view. We had a baby with us and we expected breakfast to take about an hour before baby would have to be put to nap. About an hour after sitting down and still no food came and one of our guests had to leave to put down baby for a nap. We eventually got our food probably an hour and a half after placing the order. The staff also made other mistakes such as not providing silverware, claiming they didn't know details of baby parenting (babies require naps) , bringing coffee creamer in a difficult to pour container , and seemingly forgetting to send a few of our order requests to the kitchen. In the end , the team of servers/management presented us with a solution that was satisfactory. They recognized the issues and we didn't need to ask for anything. We accepted their offer and even though the whole experience was frustrating and disappointing, the staff showed that they cared and demonstrated compassion and that's a win in my book.

Fantastic breakfast with excellent coffee; the house itself is quaint and lovely. Tons to see walking around and right next to the beach with a lot to enjoy

Our family of 2 adults and one child had an excellent dinner here around 5:30pm on a Sunday evening! Delicious food and excellent service in cozy, atmospheric setting. We shared the tasty paprika fries, the amazing fried chicken entree (which was served with wonderful cornbread and avflavorful watermelon salad), and the night's special pasta (a fettuccine with marinara sauce and chicken - it was good, though not remarkable). We also enjoyed our beverages - my elderflower cocktail was refreshing, my husband's Manhattan was good, and my daughter's Zida special mocktail was such a nice non-alcoholic option to have on the menu! We also loved the banana split we shared - we got to select 3 different flavors of their house made ice cream to put on it - mocha fudge, mint chip, and vanilla - all were delicious! The hostess was very warm and welcoming, and our waitress was very knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. They were welcoming of our 5 year old daughter. We felt very well taken care of. We enjoyed our seats by the window in the light, bright cafe section of the restaurant. We had a great meal here and look forward to returning!

For the quality of food you get - this place is really a bargain. Everything here is home made and unique. I'm a real foody and this place impressed me. The ambiance is great and so is the service. 100% recommend!

We always come here when in Mendocino, but this year we had THREE bad experiences here the weekend before Memorial Day. The night of my husband's birthday we asked for the wine list as we wanted a glass of wine with our dinner, but the waitress then disappeared for over 30 minutes (evidently there was a big wedding party). So no wine with dinner--although they comped us a glass later. We also went here for breakfast two mornings in a row where we stood in the lobby for 10 minutes before being seated, and then the food took forever to get. The food is fantastic here! But, someone is cutting back on staff and the bad experience overrode the food ...especially when you are on holiday.

Service: comically slow. Took about 50 mins before we were able to order our entrees. Multiple guests in our party thought that we were being pranked. Food: entrees were solid. I enjoyed my burger and the shrimp toast app. Weird vibe because a few servers and their wine guy (not sure if he was a sommelier) were distracted and not interested in pausing at our table.

Just got back from 2 nights at our favorite place to stay in Mendocino: The MacCallum House. This was our 7th or 8th trip there. The rooms with hot tubs are our faves and this time discovered a new one that was perfect - room 11. We had an issue one of the nights that Tatiana the manager dealt with in such a professional, accommodating way and once again it reminded us why we will never stay anywhere else. Thanks again for a 5-star experience!

The hostess was kind enough to let us in even though it was past the posted kitchen hours, and the experience only went up from there. Such a wonderful staff, and truly delicious food. The menu is affordable if you're not looking to go over the top, and the ambiance on the porch was well worth the price we paid. Would love to return!

Went here for our anniversary. The service wasn't great. Not terrible but we had to ask for a spoon after we ordered soup. And then steak knives after our entrees were served. Our waiter never really checked in on us other to take our order. And the bus boys who brought out our food slammed our plates on the table several times. The food was tasty but my filet was brought out almost cold. My partners duck was perfect cook and temp though.

We did the tasting menu on the porch for dinner and it was delicious. Nice food and alcohol pairings. Thoughtful collection of dishes had nice twists we didn't expect and pushed us to try items we probably would not have picked. Both the duck and filet were perfectly done and complemented by seasonal fruits and vegetables treated with reverence and knowledge to highlight their potential. My favorite was the caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes. My husbands favorite was the filet. We both loved the chocolate dessert with a really outstanding caramel sauce. We will be back!

The location is beautiful. We sat outside and had a nice garden and ocean view. The menu is pretty pricey. I ordered oysters which were delicious and I think the only place in town that serves them. My husband got a burger that he enjoyed and I got duck breast, which was okay. I've definitely had better. The service was great. Our waiter was excellent and very attentive.

The best restaurant I've been to in the Mendo area so far . Loved my filet with morels and crispy potatoes. Wife liked her scallops with a corn salad that was great . Also liked their watermelon salad in a vinaigrette that tasted great . Also lived their corn chowder with Manila clams that was memorable. So far best restaurant in the town of Mendocino!

After a long drive from the Bay Area, we were looking forward to a cozy dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday/promotion. My first impression of MacCallum House was that the restaurant had a charming atmosphere because of the gardens, strung lights, and ocean view. This place was also ideal on a chilly night because the tent helped shield the wind and there were individual heaters at each table. Here is what we ordered: 1) Nightly Noodles- Wasn't a fan. This particular night they were offering a twist on a chicken alfredo. In my opinion, the dish combined too many flavors that didn't complement each other well. 2) Bavette Steak- Tender, melt in your mouth steak! Very impressed. 3) Poppyseed Beignets with Lemon Curd- I love lemon flavored pastries and everything about this dessert was phenomenal! 4) Peju Sauvignon Blanc- Highly recommended! I was very excited when I noticed they had options from my favorite Napa winery :D As far as COVID-19 protocols go, I noticed the tables were very spaced out, they currently only offer outdoor dining, and you are asked to keep your mask on until your food arrives. Thank you MacCallum House for a lovely date night!

Excellent! My husband and I went to McCallum House for Thanksgiving dinner. The house itself is gorgeous. The food was delicious! The service excellent. We spent the evening talking about all that we are grateful for in our lives. All of that would have been more than enough, but at the end of our dinner someone had covered our entire meal. We still have no idea who might have done this kindness for us. We are so very appreciative. Thank you to whoever you are and please know that we are passing it forward.

Food was very good. Our waitress was friendly. I don't think they aren't fans of gay men. Poor choice for our anniversary.

Highly recommend! Food was on point! Service was fantastic! The serving staff were very attentive. The property has an old feeling but well taken care of. There was a real log fire place in the room we were seated in, which created a romantic feel. My husband ordered the Grilled Painted Hills Steak (bavette cut) which was delicious & cooked perfectly. I ordered Roasted Maitake which knocked my socks off! I cleared my plate which is something I do not normally do. Really fantastic! We paired our meal with a fine wine & whiskey. Overall experience was 5 stars!

Look elsewhere for fine dining. The menu sounds nice but leaves a lot to be desired. Our first course was at its core a deconstructed lox bagel. Not reimagined much. Second was a caprese salad also very weakly reimagined. The duck was the most interestingly paired, however over cooked. The filet mignon was served with a basic salad of blue cheese and bacon topping. Dessert was SALTY. They tried to balance sweet and salty in that edgy fine dining way and missed the mark. The wine pairings are just average. Overall everything was just pedestrian. It took 2 hours total for all the food to come out leaving us bored and hungry between plates. I really wanted to like this place because the vibe is so cute but for $450 total the bar needs to be much higher.

If you make a reservation for the garden tasting menu, make sure you check in at the top of the stairs upon arrival. The other option is to wait on the right side line which is for the regular garden menu. The space has tons of outdoor lawn seating and heat lamps everywhere. Our table was on the wrap-around porch and had heat lamps above. The tasting menu was really good overall but the dessert was just okay. My personal favorites of the evening were the tomato caprese salad and the duck confit. The tomatoe caprese salad is so simple yet the added touch of the kale almond pesto made this really special. The duck was crispy and tender and paired beautifully with the grilled peaches and cheese. TASTING MENU 'the smoking gun' wild king salmon citrus vodka cured, rösti potato, red onion, cucumber, dill, capers, crème fraîche heirloom tomato caprese grilled flat bread, house made mozzarella, kale almond pesto, basil, Stella Cadente extra virgin olive oil, balsamic liberty farm duck confit arugula, La Quercia prosciutto, Humboldt Fog cheese & grilled peach salad, yam chips, blackberry pinot noir gastrique grilled niman filet mignon bourbon spritz, shiitake mushroom chimichurri, blue cheese fries, green beans & roasted almonds grilled peach napoleon arborio rice pudding, blackberry coulis, whipped cream

The fried CHICKEN was served to us COMPLETELY RAW. Not a little pink, but completely raw pink flesh! My husband had to bite into it to notice! The waitress apologized but the manager told her we still had to pay for it. PAY FOR RAW CHICKEN! Needless to say I refused. Talk about unprofessional and adding insult to injury. They could have made us seriously ill! We will never be back. On top of it all the rest of our food tasted like old pre-made food you would get at a bad wedding. The steak was barely warm, dried out, and pre sliced.

We had the pork chops and burger as our main dishes. There is no kids' menu, so we opted for pasta with butter and cheese. The service was good and mindful. The ambiance is more subdued and we had to work a bit more to keep our 8 yo to be less fidgety. We used the surrounding paintings to keep her occupied by making guesses about the painting's details. The homemade sourdough bread was the hands down favorite. If you get dessert, get the homemade ice creams. ALL of the flavors were tasty.

I was very disappointed in The MacCallum house. We were seated on the glassed in porch, with harsh overhead lighting. It reminded me of eating in a military mess hall. We ordered the noodle of the day plate, which was rather bland, although the actual noodles were very nice; it was the sauce that disappointed. Even the arugula salad was mediocre. The service was poor. We ordered our simple dinner before several people at surrounding tables, yet we were served when those people were more than half way through their dinners. Rather than explaining why, or apologizing for the almost 50 minute wait, our waiter ignored us, even to the point of having the water server give us our meal. Not good. Perhaps we are the exception, but I will not recommend the MacCallum House, nor will I give them a second chance.

Service was not good a party of five with a Three year old two couples and grandma to help with the child, grandma did not order. The child was so well behaved no crying unbelievably well behaved. So it was two of us where celebrating our birthdays which are one day apart. I arrived at 5 pm early in the evening the place was cold fire was not doing very well. We were seated in a pathway right next to the silver ware when I ask if we could possibly be seated somewhere else I was told there were no better places in the restaurant. Ok,I looked around there was no one seated any where I pointed out several places that would be much better, but the waiter wanted to argue with me and said here let me show you. I wanted to take me on a tour into other rooms.I politely said never mind it is my birthday and I do not need this confrontation.My water was empty more than full the food took a very long time as did the deserts which we ordered two to share. The staff was told many times this was a birthday celebration but never made any effort to make it a good experience.On behalf of the Chef I give 5 stars the food was delicious. It seems to me because the wait staff was going to get a 20% guaranteed gratuity they were not present .it was not busy maybe three tables when we left. We would have tip them much more than they demand you pay if the service was attentive. I will never go back to this restaurant again which is a shame because the food was excellent. But if I am going out and spending the kind of money they want I would like to have a good time. So Luna's it is next time

The dining room itself is very pretty and charming. Michaela was our waitress and she was very kind. Our food was great, but the kale salad and butter both were overwhelmingly salty. Very expansive wine/beer/spirits menus.

Room spacious and modern. Restaurant was excellent. Great chef. Staff very nice. Forgot an expensive item and they mailed it to me. Will go back for sure.

I loved our meal here. The $90 per person price tag for their (summer) garden tasting menu is more than reasonable given the quality of ingredients, portions, and accompanying service. They offer wine or bourbon pairings with the tasting menu. An impossible choice if you ask me. (!!!) I finally landed on bourbon, since it felt different than a more typical wine or beer pairing. Course 1: Citrus vodka cured salmon with rosti potato, cucumber, crème fraîche, red onion, capers, and dill. Perfect warm up for the meal ahead, and introduction to the chef's culinary skills. Course 2: Heirloom tomato caprese with grilled flatbread, and arugula pistachio pesto. The tomato and housemade mozzarella were so tasty on their own that they almost didn't need the pesto and flatbread. Almost. Course 3: Duck confit with arugula, prosciutto, grilled peaches, yam chips, Humboldt Fog chèvre, and a blackberry pinot noir gastrique. This is the only dish I didn't love and that is only because I don't love duck. I tried a bite and shared the rest of the duck with my dining companions. I kept everything else to myself because it was too good to share. Course 4: Filet mignon with shiitake chimichurri, Lyonnaise potatoes, blue cheese crème fraîche, green beans, almonds, and fried onions. Perfectly cooked (medium rare) meat with complimentary flavors from the potatoes, cheese, and veggies. Ample amount of everything. Course 5: Chocolate budino with vanilla ice cream, salted caramel sauce, and candied hazelnuts. Gratitude to our server who offered us a break between course four and five so we could fully appreciate what this incredible dessert had to offer. Bonuses were their house made sourdough bread, made from a 40 year old starter (!!!) and spotting Mittens MacCallum who is the stray cat who adopted MacCallum House. We left very full and very happy.

Though we had to wait over an hour for our meal here, I'd say it was well worth it, and I'm glad we stuck it through! First of all, the setting is adorable. The "House" in the name could not be more accurate but don't let it oversimplify the aesthetic. It's homey, simple but has a unique charm to it. They do have a nice tented backyard area, but we were seated on the house's patio. It was a bit of a bummer that the area wasn't heated because it got really cold, but the good food helped us persevere through that. We wanted to order the Clam and Corn Chowder and were super bummed when they didn't have that. However, the Caprese, Fries and Watercress Salad as appetizers made up for it. The Salad was actually listed as a side but we were really glad we ordered it as an app. Very fresh, light and love the corn!! For entrees, I ordered the Nightly Noodles, which was a Halibut Fettucine with a Puttanesca sauce, and it was so savory and tasty! My boyfriend got the Ranch Steak Bavette, which was presented nicely and also delicious. We finished off the meal with an order housemade icecream and it really hit the spot, even if it was cold haha. The servers were all so friendly. There was a younger boy here who brought us our food to the patio, and he was so fun and really knew his stuff!

The service was very bad. We're a younger couple on vacation with a toddler. I understand the challenges that presents for a restaurant but we wanted some nice food for my wife's birthday. They tried to get us out of the door before we sat down. No one described the specials to us but we had them memorized by the time everyone was seated around us. We ordered a halibut and a filet mignon, medium rare. There was a "mixup in the kitchen" so my wife finished her halibut before my steak ever arrived. The food was wonderful. The place is very cute.

I'd say overall that all the components are there for this to be a fantastic experience but sadly the kitchen execution was off on my visit. My partner and I ordered the multi-course tasting menu and the optional wine pairing. My first course of the Thai red curry was perfect but it all went downhill after that - the other courses were sloppily plated and barely warm when they made it to the table. My partner's meal was better by comparison (he got the regular menu while I opted for the vegetarian option) but still underwhelming considering the expense. The sever was pleasant but seemed a bit overwhelmed and wasn't entirely familiar with the menu - she told us the wine pairings were the same for both tasting menus but that isn't the case. This is a $300+ commitment before tax and tip added and I won't take a chance of coming back and being disappointed again.

MacCallum House has an absolutely beautiful garden for outdoor seating and the food, while pricey, is excellent. My wife and I often come here for date nights when we can get them and have never yet been disappointed. This is my favorite place in town.

This was our second visit, and like last time, the food and service were excellent. The location and atmosphere are lovely. Our issue was primarily with the host/seating. When I made the reservation, I requested a four-top outside even though we are just 2 people, because their 2-person tables are small. When I went in to check in, I stood there ignored for the longest time. We almost left. I finally went and spoke to the woman tending bar, who then came to seat us. I mentioned our request for a four-top, and she said she couldn't do it. Ok, fair enough. I figured the bigger tables were booked. But when she took us outside, there was just one other party. No other diners came out there the whole time we were there. And there was a four-top right behind us. There was no reason she couldn't have extended us a courtesy and seated us there. Also, it was very chilly that evening and their heaters weren't working.

Just about perfect! My wife and I celebrated our 35th anniversary with dinner at the MacCallum House restaurant. The food was wonderful (I had the roast duck - oh my goodness!). In fact the duck was commended by the waiter when I asked about it. The wife had the pork chops and found them delicious, tender and not dry. The service was responsive, our waiter was professional, courteous, knowledgeable and attentive and with just the right balance of familiarity vs distance. We had the banana split with 3 kinds of homemade ice cream - wow! The only very slight negative was that it was a cool, wet evening and seating right next to the old windowpanes was cool to the point we moved to the fireplace after dinner to warm ourselves... which was lovely.

My husband and I are up in Mendocino for a nice getaway weekend. I called this restaurant and they did not take reservations unless you did one of their tasting plus dinner. So we arrived at 5:30 and we're seated right away. Everyone eats outside under a tent but there are heaters as it is cold. My husband and I had a Grenache that was excellent and we ended up drinking the whole bottle. He had the special and I had fillet mignon both were good. I especially liked the bread as I was hungry. Had deserts brownie with ice cream. Our server at table 1 was a little inexperienced when it came to Wine. He brought out notes but then he couldn't find the wine so I found it for him. Other than that service was good

We just stop by for a drink and an appetizer and it was delightful. I had a glass of champagne and my husband had a Manhattan and both were good! Our flatbread appetizer was delicious and the service was prompt and excellent. I can't wait to go have breakfast there this morning. They are going to open up the inside in the next two weeks and I can't wait to go sit at the bar and have a lovely cocktail and an old world environment. Great spot and a great view.

As you approach the house you'll start to notice you're stepping back into time when horses and carriages ruled the roads. Through the front door you'll be greeted and also have the option to hang your coat on the coat hanger by the door. Tables occupied most of the 1st floor and we were seated in the back of the house next to a fireplace where it's possible was a Library at some point but is also the entrance to the Kitchen. May want to keep that in mind if you don't want to see the waiter traffic. It started to get cozy as more patrons started rolling in, but it definitely was a great dining experience to say the least. The food was delicious and had great presentation. The crispy chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly as well as the filet mignon and pork chop dishes. The staff was friendly and knew their menu quite well. It's a great place to have dinner or even meet a friend at the bar. Keep in mind, it's a house so the restroom situation will be that of your house! Reservations encouraged especially on busy weekends and around holiday times.

Lovely spot, good food. The scallops appetizer was delicious and the fried chicken was great. Appreciate the option to order a smaller portion! Our server was lovely. Would definitely come back.

Let me first start off by saying that MacCallum's food is fantastic. Theres so many positives to this place. Loads of tables spaces apart, heat lamps, and a DJ playing oldies were some of the highlights of my recent visit. Not to mention me and everyone at my table definitely enjoyed our meal. My favorites were the scallops just because I love my seafood and bacon always is icing on the cake with anything. The problem then you ask? The amounts. Not just me but everyone at the table were still hungry after our meals. It wasn't like we hadn't eaten anything for hours as we all ate breakfast and lunch earlier that day. But it was just the fact that we enjoyed our meal but just hungered for more. Normally I would just order more food but their meals are a tad pricey. It's hard to justify getting more food when it costs almost $10 less to get a good Filet Mignon dinner in the Bay Area when in that same meal you get more food. The same thing can be said for other items on the menu. But at the same time that still wouldn't stop me from coming here again. People that are strict about going to places with covid rules, will know that MacCallums enforces theres rules really well and on top of their staff being very safe, they are all extremely kind and professional so I definitely got to give kudos for that. Theres was a number of restaurants that I went to in the area that were a little lax about their covid rules. But out of all the restaurants, I went to I definitely thought that MacCallums was one of the best in that regard.
