Willits: Adam's Restaurant + Shanachie Pub; restaurant review

101 North

Adam’s Restaurant  

50 S. Main, (707) 456- 9226.  D Tu-Sun; $$$.  Reservations recommended. 

The most upscale dining spot in town, tiny Adam's Restaurant features an intimate dining room plus a few more private tables in an upstairs loft.  When the weather is nice, an outside patio under Japanese maples and plum trees--shared with the pub next door--is a good choice.  Because the space is small and the staff is small, so is the regularly changing menu small.   Choices might include a variety of raviolis, filled perhaps with Dungeness crab, or artichokes, or wild hand-picked local porcini and chanterelle mushrooms.  Steak and fresh fish are usually options as well.  Endings might include a milk chocolate mousse in a martini glass and perhaps several kinds of crème Brule.

Shanachie Pub  

50 S. Main St., (707) 459-9194.  No cards. 

Just next door, the popular Shanachie Pub serves no food available but welcomes you to bring in outside food or even have it delivered.  There is always a wonderful selection of Mendocino County beer, and local musicians often play here.
