★★★★★ 5.0 Ren Doughty · Aug 2025

Outstanding bar. Great comfy vibe. Delicious cocktails. Unparalleled ocean views. Occasional sea lion chorus. The friendliest, coolest, nicest staff. No, I don’t have any vested interest in this establishment and I don’t know anyone who works here. My wife and I stayed in Shelter Cove a couple of nights and we went here for several hours this evening and had the BEST time! Five stars. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ 5.0 Peter Nelson · Jul 2025

I remember my first time going to Mario's because I'd never seen a nicer view anywhere. The interior decoration is adorable, and the mixed drinks are exquisite. Lots of space. A romantic getaway but also a great meet up spot for friends. Many food options.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lauren Harrington · Apr 2025

My husband and I spent a night in shelter cove and went to Mario’s for dinner and a beer. The owner is so personable and has monthly rotating chefs. We had Chef Mama Mo’s rockfish sandwich, blackened rockfish tacos with fried flour tortillas, and loaded fries. The decor is really, really thoughtful and well done. Would recommend this gem to anyone!

★★★★★ 5.0 German David · Oct 2025

A bar program that actually rules in the middle of nowhere?! Best Patio on the whole coast of California to rip cigs? Food and guest kitchen pop ups?!? German friendly and coolest bartender in Humboldt. Will be back.

Good food, nice people, good service and breathtaking views and sunset! The best view is here I ate a lobster-mushroom bisque (omg! So good) and (fish) taco Tuesday 🎉
