Dinner at the Benbow Hotel, a Garberville, CA hotel, is a truly wonderful experience. Our executive chef, Kenneth Aldin, brings his passion and brilliant creativity into play to offer an exciting and innovative menu.

Extraordinary Food & Wine

Only the best locally grown produce (some from our hotel gardens), freshest seafood and choicest meats are brought to our kitchen. Chef Aldin's exposure to French and Cuban cuisines, plus working in the best kitchens in New Orleans, brings a unique approach menu development. His menus reflect his passion, and his sure hand guides our culinary team as they prepare each day's selections. We also offer an award-winning wine list, which features some of the best wines from California, the Northwest, and a sampling from Europe. Our Wine Director, Delbert Chumley, brings his passion for food and wine and that passion is reflected in our excellent wine list. Also, for our younger guests, a special child's menu is available.

Exceptional Service

Service in the dining room reflects the meticulous training of our Maitre d'. Gracious and unobtrusive, the dining room staff help make each meal a relaxing and pleasurable experience.

Dressing for Dinner

We want our guest to be comfortable, so recommended dinner dress is casual elegance. Many guests prefer to wear coat and tie or cocktail dress to dinner, but polo-type shirt, Dockers, or pantsuits, slacks and nice jeans are perfectly acceptable also. We do ask that no sandals, shorts, bathing suits or bare feet find their way into the dining room, although dress shorts and dress sandals are acceptable on the Terrace.
