Harbor House, perched on a bluff in Elk overlooking the Mendocino coast, offers a singular dining experience rooted in its environment. This 1916 Craftsman-style inn underwent an eight-year renovation completed in 2018, blending historic charm with classic elegance. The restaurant holds two Michelin stars, a testament to chef Matthew Kammerer's devotion to sustainability and impeccable technique. Kammerer elevates hyper-local and foraged ingredients, including seaweed harvested from the nearby coastline and delicacies like sea urchin. The cooking is highly original, with compelling, Japanese-accented creations. The dining room, with only 20 seats, provides stunning views, creating an intimate atmosphere.
