Stanford Inn's Ravens Restaurant

“Regular here. Can't get enough. Even if I think hard enough, I cannot come up with a single thing that could be improved. Stunning food - variety, taste,quality, proces! Absolutely amazing and warm staff members - my favorite part maybe...Lovely ambience especially during festive season. They grow a lot of their food. Pets are welcome and served with as much enthusiasm. Last time, they even brought out a dog bed for a friend's old dog...my heart. Even celebrated my birthday here, two nights in a row. Although food is enjoyed by everyone, plant-based or not, personally, as a vegan, I am glad because they are the only 100 percent plant-based place on the Mendocino coast. Grateful for that.”

“I’m not sure what happened with other reviewers bit we found the service to be impeccable. We went there for my husband’s birthday and found everyone to be courteous and prompt with service. They were exceptionally friendly, brought us sample bites from the kitchen before our appetizer course even arrived. The lodge was decorated beautifully for the holidays and had an amazing selection of books and cookbooks. We enjoyed watching another guest ‘s dog take a nap by the fire. The food was delicious and it was nice not having to all for a bunch of accommodations to try and make things vegan. My only recommendation would be for them to update their drink/bar menu. It feels a bit dated and they are missing such a great opportunity to highlight their home grown plants and herbs with plant forward cocktails and mocktails that rely on homemade syrups and aromatics. I was especially hoping for a warm drink given how chilly it gets after the sun goes down in the beach. We ended up just drinking water and tea because nothing appealed to us.”

“We had the Portobello Benedict and the savory crepe both flavorful and made with fresh, well-prepared ingredients. The wood-paneled space, with its scent of wood, fireplaces, and garden views, feels classic but not dated, cozy but not cluttered. A quiet main room and a relaxed pet-friendly section round out the experience. We’ll definitely come back.”

“Raven's was an absolutely love experience! It can be tough to find completely vegan restuarants and this place did NOT disappoint! My partner and I went for dinner and had the ravioli and the thai curry - both very delicious! Veronica made us the most delicious mocktails and was just fantastic. The atmosphere and ambience was very nice too. Such a special evening. We will definitely be back!!”

“We absolutely loved dining at the Ravens Restaurant! The food was exceptional. We went multiple times during our trip Mendocino to try their breakfast and dinner options. Amazing service and views as well of the Mendocino coastline. We will definitely be coming back.”
