North Fork Cafe

A great local's scene at the North Fork.  The food is always good here and seriously, we would be fucked if it wasn't, because there really aren't any other options.  Denny serves up the most epic eggplant parm I have ever had!!!  The food is always so fresh.  And I must say, the salad is ALWAYS excellent as well (and I am picky) - fresh local greens - never bitter - not iceberg - and delicious homemade dressing.

What a surprise ...
we were on a short visit to Covelo ... and .. can't say that there's a big choice of restaurants .. basically .. there's just 2 !
We have decided to get there as the menu looked interesting.
The inside of the restaurant looks like a big garage on a yard sale ... but it's made on purpose and it's fun.
The service was very good.
Now the food .. there was 2 specials ... that we wanted to try ...
Appetizers, Fresh morels (secret caught from the chef) with baked camembert ... super mega yummie ...
and ... mussels in white wine sauce ... I must admit that being born in the biggest mussel growing area in France ... I'm usually very picky with mussels ... and it was a REAL delight .. finger licking good ... !
The we had pasta .. they were fresh and tasty ... our friends usually get the pizza and said they never had any deception ...
Oh .. should I mention that most of the food was organic ... and the price .. very reasonable !
The only bad thing about this restaurant ... it's only open 3 days a week :-( .... so .. if you're stuck in Covelo .. you have to wait the end of the week to enjoy their food !
But again .. the food was sooooo good and so fresh ... I'm still drooling thinking of the appetizers !

This is the only place to eat in town and thank god it's good. The ambiance is funky-garage-sale and service can be sluggish if you are there during the rush (my advice is to arrive early), but the food is fresh, well-seasoned and tasty. Denny, the chef, makes his own bread fresh every day that they serve warm in a basket. His chicken dish and the fresh clams in garlic white wine sauce are always excellent.

If this place was anywhere else I'd probably give them a slightly-less-stellar review, but the fact that it's in Covelo (which is in the middle of god-forsaken-nowhere) makes me very grateful.
