Noyo Harbor Inn, Restaurant and Tavern

Absolutely AMAZING!!!! The staff has gone above and beyond both times we have stayed here. They are warm and welcoming and make you feel like family. Your experience is important to them. The rooms are incredible, the view spectacular!!!! The food is outstanding!!! I sit here looking now, out at the Harbor going into the Pacific and see the seal playing. The sound of their barking brings joy....way different then your neighbors dog🤣. It is a very special place!

We dined here twice and it was fantastic! We are from SF and love good food. Both meals were served by a friendly and eager to please crew. The food selections were great and the price wasn’t bad. The views are excellent and the whole place exudes casual elegance.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect as we had never been there and hotel restaurants sometimes..,, you never know the quality. I was surprised from the time we walked in we were warmly greeted and escorted to a table of our choice but.., we were able to change tables because of the sun. All were very accommodating. the waitress was extremely efficient the food was fabulous. The price of the wine extremely reasonable along with the price of the food ! The Quality Of the meal was excellent! I highly recommend this establishment. (We didn’t stay here just ate)

The hotel was very, very nice! Our room was BIG and had gorgeous views and was very clean and quiet. the real standout, however, is the restaurants. OMG, wow, the food is amazing! We had dinner there every night (pro tip: make a reservation!!) The salads are lovely, the steak was wonderful, and the desserts - WOW. Get every dessert, you're welcome.

Amazing upscale inn and restaurant tucked away right off the 101. On the expensive side but rightfully earned. Good for intimate dinners as well as large groups. We came with a larger party of about 10 and we’re comfortably seated in their Sunset room. Amazing service from waitstaff as well.

Always wonderful and fresh food. Service is pleasant and adds to the atmosphere. The consistency is key and one thing I truly value. This a favorite place of mine and my family. The renovations made to a lovely old inn and restaurant are fantastic and take me back to the good old days, except with finesse. Keep up the amazing work!

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved this place. The room was amazing, the staff was friendly, and the location is right in the middle of Noyo harbor. The harbor has multiple seafood restaurants and markets that are within walking distance of the Inn. We loved every aspect of this hotel and we can’t wait to come back soon.

First time eating at Noyo Harbor Inn was Mother's Day. Food was amazing! So we're the drinks.. Service was great and so were the guests. We will be back this Sunday for brunch and Monday for dinner!

I only went into the restaurant and walked around their gardens. The restaurant is delicious if not just a bit overpriced for lunch. They provide large portion sizes for your meal. Staff were still wearing masks for customer safety. I visited on Halloween and the staff were all wearing costumes which was fun. The deck and gardens are quite nice. We saw a harbor seal swimming about and walked around enjoying their Roman style gardens.

We love this restaurant, been here several times. Service is excellent, food is delicious and the view is gorgeous! Our most recent visit was for brunch. My husband had the chicken fried steak and was mmmming the whole way thru. I had the eggs Bennie Florentine and it was amazing, the spinach was sauteed onions and mushrooms. Plus they are doggie friendly which is a huge plus.

I booked the Noyo Harbor Inn for a much needed weekend getaway with hubby and I could not have been happier with my decision. Great location, well maintained and very hospitable staff. NOTES: They are pet friendly. They have a restaurant on site - food is very fresh and portions good. They have a SPA room onsite. I booked a couples massage and we very much enjoyed!

Noyo Hatbor Inn is one of our favorite places to eat in Fort Bragg. Weather we want to treat family to an amazing meal, meet friends for a cocktail or date night. The view is stunning, staff is always attentive and the food....where do I start?! Beautiful presentation, full of flavor and the selection is plentiful. And I believe the price is reasonable with all thing considered these days. Brunch, lunch or dinner...you will leave full and happy 😊

My wife and I decided to go out on a whim and walked in. The restaurant was busy with what should have been a 30 min wait, but the active host found us room at a table in the bar immediately. We met Colby, a bar tender and pro bev manager. Best drinks I've had on the coast. He is an alchemist behind the bar, with an inspired drink menu and still had attention to serve the whole room dinner service at times . The food was even better than the first time my wife and I came 2 years ago. Scallops were perfect, the Dungeness crab cakes were fresh and delicious. The new executive chef there has got moves. this 5 stars review is not because something was good It's for everything being great, even when they were busy. Good team.

You can stay at a boring generic chain hotel but spend the extra $50 and stay here! Warm, cozy, wood, well thought out touches like silky sheets and lush towels. Fantastic water pressure in a large shower and smoking fast wi-fi. There is even a very nice restaurant, so you don't have to check in and immediately leave to forage for food.

I've been to the noyo three times and planning a trip again in a month.I highly recommend it.It's a very nice hotel with great accommodations.Great staff.The location can't be beat. And my miniature schnauser loves it as well.

Great place and very stylish renovated. Great views and fantastic food. Very friendly service. SV Somerset - New Zealand

Nice hotel. Well kept and clean. Bar and restaurant were good. Excellent location. Easy driving distance to both fort Bragg and Mendocino

We stopped here for lunch. It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside and listened to the seals. This is such a beautiful location, along the river. The service was really great. We had the fish tacos (a special) and they were delicious. Next time we stay in the area I would love to stay here.

We used Noyo Harbor Inn for our wedding hotel block, and could not have been happier. Noyo graciously offered us a wedding discount for our guests, and was communicate and easy to get ahold of every step of the way. Noyo Harbor is incredibly magical, and our guests were so happy to enjoy this spot with their pets, never mind the delicious food and happy hour. We've stayed at Noyo various times in the past and can't wait to come back for our first and many future wedding anniversaries to come!

All of us in our group highly recommend this delightful inn. Reception were very kind throughout several changes we needed to make with our reservation. Wait staff greeted us with a smile and kindly answered all our questions about the menu. Our table location offered us lovely relaxation with a beautiful view. The food was delicious, especially the braised brussel sprouts. Oh my goodness! We may be making a monthly trip just to enjoy those! Our brunch experience was perfect, making a bittersweet day memorable.

We really enjoyed staying here. The property was please to walk around and the room was fantastic with great view and nice bath tub. Using the bath tub while enjoying the Nespresso coffee and a nice view was quite a treat. So was walking down to the Noyo Harbor and hitting the restaurants. I highly recommend this place to anyone.

After a less than ideal group meal, Krista invited us back to experience appetizers in the dining room as it was meant to be experienced. WOW!! It was wonderful! The service was perfect, and the variety of appetizers she brought us was out of this world delicious! I loved the deviled eggs, the Cajun meatloaf sliders (which weren't over the top hot), and especially the barbecue riblets- to die for!!! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. We were seated by a very ornate fireplace and was totally comfortable as we enjoyed to harbor view. You've gotta check this out!!!

Beautiful view, room was clean and very nice. Thank you

We were greeted warmly when we arrived. Given all the information we needed. Our room # 8 was perfect with our dog. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Great room with shower and tub. We ate at the restaurant for all meals with a wonderful menu. Perfect views and stay for hubbys birthday

A beautiful spot overlooking our own Noyo Harbor where no expense for aesthetic beauty has been overlooked. Our server Serenity was a great guide for the experience. I recommend the Candy Cap 🍄 old fashioned, a great blast to your palette with a nice hint of maple syrup very smooth. I also had the clams and mussels in their own special pesto cream sauce which left me wanting more. I tried the appetizer but next time it may be on the pasta as it’ll I had to hold up from drinking the broth. The entire experience was enough to make you forget where you were or that there was life going on around you. It will be a place I return to.

In terms of location and service, they are stunning. It is worth a visit just for that. They have great menu with Fabolous listed ingredient list. However the actual cooked meal tasted like it came from an all you can eat buffet that had been left on the warmer for hours. Such a shame for an otherwise amazing location and set up. Hope to see better quality next time I'm there.

Booked a king tub room with views of the harbor and river. Unfortunately, our view was of the buildings below us on N Harbor Drive and we could not see the river or harbor. Otherwise, the room itself was good (other than the noisy refrigerator that we had to unplug every night). Upon checking out, we confirmed which room to book in order to be able to see water. We did sit outside and have a couple of drinks overlooking the river and boat area and that was nice.

Location is great, hotel staff is friendly. Room is nicely appointed with a living area and separate bedroom. Plenty of room to upgrade it to a king size bed, which I suggest. The fog horn sounds all day and night (I find it nice), and the harbor traffic on the street outside dies down by 10. The food at the restaurant is very good, but service for both breakfast and lunch was lacking.

Location location location. Beautiful location and nice grounds surround the inn. We had room #1. It was a mixed bag... On the winning side was the bathroom. AWESOME water pressure. Double shower head in the shower was very nice and the large tub was good too. The main room looked very nice... Woodwork everywhere and a highly decorated gas fireplace was perfect for setting a mood... But the mood was diminished by a floorboard that wouldn't stop creaking, including while using the bed. Would've been ok if in a huge building, but felt like the whole inn would hear us screwing. Guess I'm just too modest. The other negative was ants. Little tiny ants just about everywhere. You'd never notice them if you were only in the room for ten minutes... But after spending 2 nights, I saw ants in both the bedroom and the bathroom. Highly recommend management get some ant-bait traps.

We stayed at the Noyo Harbor Inn recently and wanted to share our experience. We loved the views, access to the bistro and bar, the friendly staff, and the short walk to the harbor. We appreciated how pet friendly the inn was. However, we faced some challenges and disappointments with our specific room and its location. Pros • The inn offers a scenic view of the harbor and the surrounding nature. • The inn has a bistro and a bar that serve delicious food and drinks. • The inn has a friendly and helpful staff that welcomes pets and their owners. • The inn allows pets to stay in the room with their owners for a reasonable fee. Cons • The room that we stayed in was located next to the outdoor patio area for the restaurant, which meant that we had to walk through the dining area with our pets to enter or exit the room. • The room was far from any area where the pets could use the restroom, which made it inconvenient for us and our pets. • The room had a view of the dining area as well as the harbor, which reduced the privacy and the enjoyment of the view from the room. • The bathroom window was near a heavy traffic area, which also compromised our privacy. • The room was disappointing and not very comfortable for us and our pets, especially considering the high price of $350 per night (after fees and tax). We would caution other travelers with pets about the room (#7 – Advertised as Queen, View, Intimate, Pet Friendly) that we stayed in and suggest that you look for other options at the inn.

Very friendly staff. Hotel in a good location, but without the view you would expect to see. Old rooms, with sagging curtains and minimal closet space. Cleanliness is lacking because we found the fridge dirty, the bathroom floor dirty and the furniture on the terrace dirty.

I did not stay here but went for dinner. The place is great. Parking might be difficult but I got lucky. The restaurant is really nice. Very posh and comfortable looking. Food was good. But the service was absolutely terrible! Took a long time to take order. Long delays between clearing the table and bringing the next dish. The waiter was so shockingly bad that the usher had to step in a few times to look for him and he also had to bring me the dessert menu! I decided not to get any dessert because the waiter never showed up. The usher tracked down the waiter and told him that I'm not going to order dessert any longer because of his behavior! Then 10 minutes later, the waiter just walked over and nonchalantly said "so you are not getting by dessert"! It wasn't even a question and no apologies. For a restaurant that has so many good reviews, this was a a serious disappointment! And I left feeling that there might be some kind of bias going on at this place. The pumpkin soup, the Petrale Sole and the drink I got was very good. Very well executed.

For this area it may be the best you can get. But that being said the food was good but not great and our server did not approach us for 25 minutes. At this point I got up and told the staff, after our order was taken it was an additional 20 minutes before our drinks arrived. The waitress also forgot to serve is the wine that was paired with our dinner. In her defense she comped the bottle but that seamed like a last ditch to save the dinner after multiple failures. The cocktails were on point and the atmosphere was very enjoyable but overall it didn't hit the mark. As a side note when the waitress came to take our drink order, I said oh I forgot the name (of the cocktail I wanted) and he reasons was "oh after all this time you still don't know what you want" Yes! After 25 minutes of waiting for you I did not remember the full name of a cocktail...... 😑 After I posted my review I received a response from management to give a call like others have on here. But after two times of calling and providing my name and number to the staff who told me management was not available I have yet to receive a phone call.

The property is beautiful but the room my husband and I got stuck in was horrible!! We had to walk through the dinning area or outside patio area where people were eating every time we left our room or to get back in. So uncomfortable!! They say the restaurant closes at 9 at 11 pm people were still on the patio eating, drinking & being loud. The room we got was absolutely tiny . If you book make sure to say you don’t want room 7 . $670 for two nights In a very uncomfortable environment.

My wife and I recently spent 3 night at the Noyo Harbor Inn. Can't say it was the best experience. Friday night went ok a little noisy in our room, thought maybe the room next to us. But Saturday night for about 3+ hrs there was a noise that sounded like a dryer with a shoe in it, then around 11pm the staff decided to start cleaning items in the parking lot and talking back and forth to each other. Guess our room (#4) was above the kitchen. The next morning I expressed my nights experience to the morning desk clerk who's repose was that she didn't work that previous day. And that today was Sunday so it should be quieter???. Was that supposed to make me feel better about staying there another noght?? Well this was our 1st visit to this area, Guess we will not visit again. If you decide to stay here DO NOT let them put you in room #4 or #5 they are both above the kitchen. I'll sign off as unhappy guest David and Nancy November 1st / 4th

The hotel room & overall grounds were absolutely fantastic. Everything was clean and very well maintained with an obvious attention to upscale finishes and some high-end woodworking throughout. The staff was great; everyone was very friendly and accommodating. To call it “luxurious” is a bit of a stretch, but if you’re looking for a meticulously maintained, high-class place to stay within walking distance to Noyo Harbor, this is the place for you. Despite of this however, I’m giving them two stars thanks to our absolute disappointment with the Thanksgiving dinner and overall food offered by the NHI. We made reservations months in advance for their $78/person, four-course meal, so needless to say our entire party had high hopes of enjoying a delicious meal because after all, it IS the only luxury hotel in Fort Bragg, right? What was served however was analogous to a meal one might expect to eat at the local Denny’s restaurant. With the exception of our salad, the meal was terrible. We all opted for the brisket, and after forcing down as mush as I could, I glanced through the nearby kitchen window and half-expected to see the staff feverishly cooking and plating Marie Calendars microwave dinners. We had four adults and one child, for whom a half-priced, 12 and under junior meal was offered. To be fair, my son had the junior $40 option, and his turkey was good. I suppose we should have all ordered the turkey, but I was reluctant to spend $80 on a luxurious turkey dinner. To top off the evening, a 25% service fee was added to our check for some reason (we had 5 people not 15). Our waiter was fine, but not worth 25%. After complaining about our food, the manager thankfully took off one of the dinners, but I couldn’t have been more disgusted with paying $421.71 for one of the most underwhelming meals I’ve had in quite a while. We also ate breakfast there the day before, and it was just ok, nothing worth the money they charge. So in closing, the Noyo Harbor Inn is a wonderfully maintained and clean hotel with a black eye in the kitchen. If you ever find yourself there for Thanksgiving, walk down to The Warf restaurant (aka Silvers) where you can enjoy a delicious, blue collar, come-as-you-are turkey dinner for under $40.

We had a reservation, but were only offered the patio on a chilly night (being offered blankets for dinner is never a good sign) as the only available option. The food was good, overall, but the service was terrible. Waiting times for ordering and between courses was absurdly long. When I finally inquired, I was told that they had to serve a table of fourteen and were understaffed. Note to management: this is never a good excuse, and not the responsibility of patrons. We wouldn't eat here again.

This review is for the restaurant. We ate at the restaurant on our last visit, and it was very good and the ambience delightful by the river. Based on our last visit, we decided to have dinner with our family of six people on April 16. This dinner was very disappointing, both in terms of service and quality of the food. We had two younger children who ordered pasta. At least 30 minutes after the order was processed, the pasta finally came, even though we asked if the children could be served their dinner as soon as it was prepared. The pasta was not spaghetti as listed on the menu, and we were not told there would be a substitute. One of the orders was for pork chops. They were partially raw, and had to be sent back to be fully cooked. It was a far cry from our last dinner at this restaurant!

My husband and I decided to stay at Noyo Harbor Inn for our honeymoon because it seemed to be a nice hotel close to our wedding venue. At our recommendation, our friends and family also stayed there for the wedding weekend. We enjoyed our stay there until their new booking system messed up our reservation. The hotel staff called me on my cellphone as my husband and I were about to depart on a canoe trip. They told us that we were supposed to check out that day and that they had someone else coming in for the night. The staff member, Carol, made it sound as if we were trying to take advantage of the hotel by making a last minute change to stay an extra night. Rather than believe us when we told her that our reservation was booked for that night, she continued to make us feel as if we were at fault. I started crying at one point because all I wanted was to enjoy the peace of the river with my husband and instead we were trying to ensure we had a hotel room to sleep in for the last night of our honeymoon. Carol would not believe me that we had booked the room for that last night until I forwarded her our confirmation email with our reservation dates. I understand that technology is not always perfect, but I also have experience in customer service and I cannot imagine treating a customer, especially who is on their honeymoon, with such disrespect. Furthermore, Carol accused us of lying to them when she knew their system had previously made mistakes (not to lengthen the story, but they also messed up my sister-in-law‘s reservation and explained that they had manually entered the reservations into the new system). I am writing this review because I cannot recommend enough that guests book another hotel in the area. There are so many wonderful places to stay in Mendocino and Fort Bragg. For the cost of a room at Noyo Harbor Inn I would expect the customer service to be professional and that they would make their guests feel comfortable. We have already told our family and friends about our experience, but I feel others should know as well.

Upon arrival we were greeted by an older lady that sighed and was clearly annoyed she had to check us in at her shift change. Not the attitude you want to receive after driving 4 hrs to get there. Next morning we went to the restaurant to have breakfast. The hostess asked if she could help us and we stated we wanted to eat breakfast. She then asked if we had reservations. No one else was observed being asked this. I feel she was judging us because of our appearance because we have tattoos and weren't dressed a certain way. Little does she know my husband and I have great jobs and paid over $300 a night to stay at this hotel. The only thing this hotel has going for it is its location near Noyo Harbor. I've stayed at nicer hotels in Fort Bragg. Won't be staying at this one again.
