Well, I had every intention of stopping there tonight and having dinner with the whole family. Problem was, first there was no place to park our 25' RV. I noticed there was a spot in back labeled employee only parking. So I parked there and ran in to check if we could get special permission to park there. Then the problem was that when I went in there were about 25-30 people waiting for a table. Not a big deal really. But after about 5 minutes of waiting for a host/hostess to appear I took a walk around to find any employee I could, but there was no one at the bar and the waiters/waitresses I think just didn't have on any uniforms or identifying clothing. Either way I couldn't find anyone to ask if we could park in back. I noticed a few open tables, but with so many others waiting it was pretty clear it wasn't the right timing for me as we had two hungry little kids with us. So we had to pass it up. For a Tuesday night that was pretty busy for a small town like McKinleyville.
The good news was that I found some of their beers at a local grocery store later on. I'm not too keen on English style IPA's which seems to be their thigh. But I really appreciated the Moonstone Porter (nearby Moonstone beach is one of my favorite places in the world, and their Porter did it justice). And I'm looking forward to a bottle of their coffee infused Porter I picked up.
Thanks for the suggestion!
