1. Harbor House Restaurant

    New American

    Two Michelin stars in the middle of nowhere, Mendocino County, is either a red flag or a very good sign. It's the latter. Harbor House is a tasting menu inn where the chef forages the coastline and surrounding forest for ingredients you won't find anywhere else, seaweed, lichen, sea urchin, all rendered with serious Japanese-influenced technique. The crowd drove hours to be here and they knew exactly what they were signing up for.
