The dishes were different than the last time I few times I visited. The Brussels sprouts were still delicious but less ingredients were used, ie walnuts cheese etc Same with the scallops. Overall food was very good, staff was super nice. Will return again.

As always, a fabulous dinner, including shrimp crostini to die for, and a delicious wild caught mahi-mahi that was the best preparation of that fish I've ever had. Tender and abundant. Love the ambiance and the food!

The food was superb! Maybe the one of the best dinners my wife and I have ever had! I had rack of lamb and my wife had the rib-eye. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Additionally, the side dishes were yummy and were very complimentary to the entree dishes. We will definitely go back whenever we find ourselves in Cambria!

Very quaint, cozy environment. We were seated next to a fireplace which added to our wonderful experience. Our server was attentive and kind. Good delivered piping hot! Loved that! Ribeye steak was so tender, perfect medium rare. Salads are full of fresh veggies, and we really liked the fried green olives. We will return.

The atmosphere was nice. The cat decor was great. The food was fine, but not worth the high prices.

Enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner here. Service was much improved over previous visit. Fantastic corn and tomatillo bisque. Duck was tender with nice flavor but wish fat had been rendered a bit more. Only complaint was food wasn't always very warm. Nice wine list.

My companion had their special for the evening—blackened mahi-mahi which was excellent. Perfectly prepared vegetables and mashed potatoes accompanied the dish. I chose the duck breast with lentils. The duck was cooked more than medium rare with a fair amount of fat, and the lentils needed seasoning. I've had far better duck-including at this restaurant-a few years back so it was a disappointing meal for me. While the servers were attentive, they did not ask how I enjoyed the duck and given I left most of it uneaten, that too was disappointing.

Second time I have been here and I'm so happy the experience was just as wonderful as the 1st. We had the broccoli soup, fried olives, pork chop & scallops & a seasonal salad. Everything was lovely!The place is old & kind of falling apart. You can see the age in the restrooms. A cozy place with a little old charm.

Had a lovely dinner there with a friend. It was warm and cozy in our “room” and the food was fabulous. Our server was a delight and very attentive. Would definitely return for dinner again.
