This is a little gem located in downtown Fort Bragg. We came for lunch and the place had lots of available tables...it's newly opened so the secret isn't out yet. We easily found parking. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor and has an entire wall of windows for great views. There is no outdoor patio seating, so no dogs. The vibe is upscale casual. Beautiful wood floors. I think it needs a bit more decor as the get the restaurant into it's groove.
I was impressed by their non-alcoholic beverage choices. The mussels were a delicious appetizer. The juices were great for dipping the delicious bread. I had their duck special, which was a tad over cooked (I wasn't asked how I wanted it prepared). Their fish and chips were incredibly good. So satisfying on a foggy chilly day. I had churros and coffee for dessert and OMG!! The churro were warm and were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Like a piece of art, just amazing. The coffee was strong but smooth...so great!!!
The service was friendly and efficient. The server treated us like we were the most important table he's ever served. I ordered sparkling water and a wine glass and the serve was happy to oblige my silly request.

Read moreHappily having company, for a change, we ventured to an amazing new entrance into our local culinary choices. These folks firmly nestled into what I think is the best location when you Visit Fort Bragg, California and we are all the better off for it. My partner in this taste venture optioned for the burger 🍔, he enjoyed it immensely saying it was flavorful and perfectly cooked coming with the freshest of condiments 🍅 🥬 🧅 and pickles. I chose two appetizers, the first being wings (I grew up on them), they were a special and then the fried calamari strips. The wings were juicy and flavorful and came with celery and some very tasty French fries. I also ❤️ calamari and try it everywhere, much like I so short ribs at steak houses. We all know that there are many different ways people prepare it and it often comes from a Sysco truck.… not this magnificent version. Harkening back to the days when Jim Larsen patrolled the kitchen of The Restaurant, these squid chefs created an extraordinary taste treat. It it crispy on the outside while tender on the inside and full of flavor, absolute perfection. We recommend this place with ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & add one more ⭐️ for the view....
Read moreWe were passing through Fort Bragg last night and decided to stop to grab dinner. We stopped at Dijon, which surprisingly had only been open for four months. We ordered the prawn and chips, the DSG cheeseburger, and the roasted half chicken. From plating to flavor everything was exquisite. The demi glaze on the half chicken with the mashed potatoes had immaculate flavor while the chicken was very tender. My prawns were so crisp and tender and not over cooked in the slightest. They nailed it on the cheese burger as well. Our server was attentive and friendly without being over bearing. Although we put 4 stars for atmosphere, i’m sure it was only because it was a slow tuesday night. It was very calm and a vibe dining kind of feel. We will definitely be back to Dijon our next time...
