Located in the heart of one of the most productive agricultural regions globally, chefs at El Capitan prepare artisanal fare and spirits that pay homage to the ranchers, farmers, cheesemakers, bakers, brewers, and winemakers that have re-fashioned Merced into one of California’s best kept epicurean secrets.

Nice atmosphere to bring a date. We went around 5 pm on a weekday and had a pleasant dinner on top of great conversation in a semi-private setting. Our server was attentive and another staff member refilled my water before I even asked. My only concern was that the gelato was half-melted when it was brought out to us. But overall it was a great experience and I would go again the next time I'm in Merced.

I've only been once, but the food and wine were great, the service was perfect, and the vibe was just right for a much-needed date night. Thanks Rainbird!

Wonderful food and access to fine dining in Merced. Service could be better. We did feel a bit ignored at first. We’ve been fans of Rainbird since it first opened and remember the fun attentive atmosphere. While still a hidden gem in a place like Merced, the quality for the food and unique ingredients have slightly diminished. 4+/5

Wow! Pleasantly surprised, I felt I was somewhere else, for sure not Merced. I plan on returning and staying in the hotel there, El Capitan. I’m going for the full experience.

Great Fathers Day dinner! The Tomahawk steak for 2 was a generous cut with plentiful sides. The presentation was five star. The scallops dish was creative and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.
