Dinner at the Benbow Hotel, a Garberville, CA hotel, is a truly wonderful experience. Our Executive Chef George Tannehill, brings his passion and brilliant creativity into play to offer an exciting and innovative menu.

Extraordinary Food & Wine
One of the best restaurants in the world for wine lovers. - Wine Spectator

Only the best locally grown produce (some from our hotel gardens), freshest seafood and choicest meats are brought to our kitchen. Chef Tannehill's Louisiana roots are reflected in his deft handling of the finest Northern California products available. 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.

We are pleased to offer a Valentine's Dinner Option...

In addition to the regular menu, we will be offering a package menu. The lobster tail will only be available on the special menu. This menu will be handed out with the regular dinner menu from 2/10-2/18.
