Eureka dining options

[JAZ]

We'll be driving from San Francisco to Oregon in a couple of months, and it seems that the best stopping place will be Eureka. It's been at least 15 years since I was in Eureka, so I have no current knowledge of what's available for dinner.

On the higher end, Restaurant 301 looks interesting, but we'd also be fine with the Lost Coast Brew Pub if the food was good. Another thing we'd love is really great Mexican food. There are also a few Mexican restaurants that come up in Google searches, but no way to tell which, if any, are good.

Any suggestions? Our only limitation is that we probably won't get there until 8 at the earliest, which means we'll be eating dinner at 9 or later.

Try http://www.samoacookhouse.net/ for some good (not great) food swathed in a great experience. Breakfast is our favorite but have eaten other meals there as well. The food is step up from a greasy spoon and has a nice home-style cooking feel to it. Nothing elaborate or exciting but well worth a visit. Second to that you may also find more choices in Arcata http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g29...California.html just down the hwy from Eureka.

Jaz,

I just posted a writeup of our drive up the 101. Hurricane Kate's in Eureka was quite good.
