St.Orres: The Inn & Dining Room in Mendocino, Mendocino County, United States | Restaurant

Just three hours north of San Francisco, on a sunny stretch of coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean, lie over 50 acres of amazing beauty and more than a little magic known as St. Orres.
For the past 30 years this site has been a labor of love for me and my partners, Eric Black and (until his recent retirement) Ted Black. With incredible skill and care, Eric designs and builds the unique structures that echo and honor the romantic Russian heritage of the area. Ted's innate decency and encompassing kindness has woven webs of respect and affection within the property and in the outside world.
My contributions, aside from decades of creative collaboration with these two remarkable men, are The Dining Room and the creation of the North Coast Cuisine that has won us praise and respect from guests and culinary professionals alike.
Between the three of us, by respecting the land, its shape and its history, we've created a coastal sanctuary where revelry and romance, singing and silence, silliness and serenity, feasting and fasting are equally welcome and appropriate.
