doesn't get very good feedback.

Owners: David Vargas and David McPhail

Serves dinner.
Price range (dinner entree): Linguine Alfredo - $10.95 - Prime Steak 14oz Rib eye, $26.95

Recommended: Forestier Country Chicken - Twin breasts of chicken lightly sauteed w/grape tomatoes, mushrooms, olives and a hint of rosemary in a Marsala reduction served w/bacon and onion risotto and seasoned vegetables, caesar salad or blackbean soup (the blackbean soup was thick, creamy and delicious) ~ $16.95 ~ Savory, flavorful and quite delicious.
Recommended: Halibut - Grilled halibut with paradise papaya relish or pan roasted with merlot butter, served with mashed potatoes and seasoned vegetables, caesar salad or blackbean soup. ~ $23.00 ~ Had it grilled with paradise papaya, was savory, flavorful, a four fork rating!
Cedar Salmon - Pacific Salmon rubbed in Ambrosia spices and planked on seasoned cedar, topped w/bell pepper fennel relish and served w/rice pilaf and vegetables, caesar salad or blackbean soup (caesar salad was very good) ~ $17.95 (The salmon was a little undercooked for me, but was seasoned and enjoyable.)
We saw several people we knew this particular evening and two were eating the barbecued ribs, which I will try on our next visit. One of the patron's told us he had them the last three times he's been to the restaurant.

Bistro Garden

10 Anchor Way (in the harbor), Crescent City, CA. Phone: 707-464-5627

Hours: Open 7 days a week; Lunch: Mon-Sat 11am-2pm. Dinner: Mon-Sun 5pm-9pm. Sunday brunch 9am-2pm.

Price range (dinner entree): $16.95 - $26.95
Bistro Garden has a breathtaking view of the harbor, South Beach and the ocean.

Recommended: Gorgonzola pasta with pecans - This homemade pasta is in a creamy gorgonzola sauce with green onions (not many), and pecans, served with sourdough bread & caesar salad or blackbean soup ~ $16.95

I thoroughly delighted in every bite. The gorgonzola gives the sauce a bite, but it's not overpowering. I saved about a third and had it for lunch the next day. Mmmm, good.

My spouse had:

Grilled salmon served with prawns and pico di gillo (the evening special) - The salmon comes grilled, topped with approx. 4 large prawns and has pico di gillo on top of that. He said it was very enjoyable, savory, cooked to perfection and he would order it again. (I didn't get the price, sorry.)

We eat at Bistro Garden often and are always pleased with the presentation, ambiance, and price. We each ordered a glass of White Zinfandel (we will probably stick to Chardonnay next time), priced at $4.50 for an approximate six-ounce glass. Enjoy!!

Chef Daniel is now serving lunch with many choices and a varied price range. I suggest you check it out.

Wing Wah

383 M St (in Safeway center), Crescent City, CA.

Phone: 707-465-3935

Serves lunch and dinner, has dining in, take out, lunch specials, birthday, partey and events, beer and wine.
Price range (dinner entree): My husband and I eat at Wing Wah often and we usually spend between $20 and $30, depending on if we order drinks or drink the complimentary tea.

The restaurant was recently updated and is clean and pleasant. My husband and I especially like the Spicy-Garlic Chicken, the Mongolian Beef and order Tsing Tao beer. Wing Wah is able to handle large parties, but its best to call ahead in that instance. 

Tomasini's Enoteca

960 3rd Street, Crescent City, CA.

Phone: 707-464-2909

Serves lunch and dinner, has live music on Friday nights.
Price range: Serves coffees, Italian sodas, soups, salads, and sandwiches.  Prices are $7-$10.  Also has wine and beer (micro brewery).

Building was recently remodeled, is clean with a bistro feel. I eat at Tomasini's at least one lunch a week, sometimes more.  Every item I have had is delicious and presented well; I especially like their soup.  The restaurant has a bistro feel to it and has a nice wine list of California and Oregon wines.  There is live music on Friday nights.  The restaurant sports an anitique bar and shares its location with a gift shop.  In my opinion the prices are good, the ambiance is inviting and the food is delicious.
