“Mendocino has become well known among foodies, thanks to an abundance of fresh local produce and a couple of standout restaurants. In town, try The Moosse Café, which also relies heavily on fresh local fare such as the fish in its delectable cioppino and hearty roast vegetables.”

- Sarah McBride, Off the Beaten Track, The Wall Street Journal

Our lunch with you was wonderful and the staff so friendly. After researching several other options for dinner, we looked at each other and said, "Shall we go back to The Moosse Cafe? It was so fabulous and we know we won't be disappointed."

Seated in the small dining area with a view of the ocean, it was a perfect way to cap the day.”
