2 Best Restaurants in Redwood National Park, California

A couple of blocks from Arcata's festive plaza, this hip seafood restaurant inside a beautifully converted old machine shop offers seating in an airy dining room and on a large side patio. Specialties include classic panko-crusted cod and chips and seared-rare steelhead, but you could also make a meal of small plates from the raw bar—shrimp cocktail, ceviche tostadas, and raw or grilled Pacific oysters among them.

A cheerful café serving hearty, delicious breakfasts and espresso drinks, Good Harvest lives up to its name with ample use of locally grown and organic ingredients. Salads, burgers, sandwiches, vegetarian specialties, and several fish entrées are on the menu for lunch and dinner.
