"Discovered a wonderful restaurant on my way back into California today. Quiet and understated, casual but slightly elegant. Nice but respectful staff. Excellent craft beer, and wonderfully delicious food! Since I 'd had a late lunch, I didn 't want a big heavy meal in the evening. Under salads on the menu was listed beef tenderloin and shrimp on arugula. That sounded like just the ticket. And it so was! Little mounds of micro greens dressed with a slightly sweet vinaigrette, a trail of thinly sliced medium rare beef tenderloin interspersed with tender fresh tasting shrimp. Along with it, I enjoyed a wonderful craft beer. Can 't recall the name sadly, but it was something of a brown ale with citrus notes. If you find yourself in Crescent City, CA for any reason, please make a point of stopping at Northwoods for a wonderful meal. Not only is the restaurant itself terrific, but it also provides a lovely view of the harbor and ocean across the street. Can 't miss with this one!"
