First timers. Loved the look and feel of the place. Staff were all really nice. Food was delicious! We had the rib plate, burgers and a chicken sandwich. The wings were yummy. Onion rings on point. We will be back!

Like the previous poster said..This place rocks! Food is fabulous. Sure you can eat all that tasty bar food and succulent ribs or even choose healthier fare like their fantastic salads or just get a taco. The surf and turf taco is full of juicy tri tip and prawns. One is big enough to make a meal! Do these bartenders have moves!! Just watching David make three drinks at once is Poetry in Motion. Trinidad is my man,he always has a friendly smile for everyone and when he asks..how are you? You actually feel like he genuinely cares! Live music many nights. We are so lucky to have this place in our community. Even if you don't live in South Salinas drive on over. It's worth it!
A great looking place, decent food, a lot of drink options, but they need to learn time management. We waited 50 minutes because there was a larger group in front of us. Would be fine if our food arrived hot but it was lukewarm as if it had been sitting. We were also missing a mac n cheese and ranch that they attempted to charge us for. They also removed a side of fries from our bill because they were lukewarm-cold. To make it worse, groups that were only sat for 20 minutes were receiving their food when we had been waiting for 50.
This place could be great but I see a lot of reviews with complaints about their time management and inability to handle larger groups. If the server mentions that there is a larger group in front of you, pay for your drinks and leave.

I had the Turkey Harvest
$14.50
grilled turkey/ lettuce/ roasted apples/ gouda/ bacon/ maple ailoi/ choice of grilled bread
I first thought well I am not a big fan of turkey ( like ham better) but love any kind of apples now Gouda I grew up with ( best cheese out there) love bacon I am a fan of maple and what grilled bread I’d not good. All I have to say WOW what a great sandwich. Keep up the great work. There were very busy at lunch and the waitress appreciates gf or been so busy. I am glad you all are busy means you all have great service and the food is outstanding.

The cheap beef taco at $4 isn’t good at all. They shouldn’t even have it on the menu. The shrimp one is noce.

Don't you just love coming in as a couple and having to compete with giant groups of people??
Even though you got here before them. But
I suppose both the waiters and restaurant staff don't care as long as they make bigger tips and make more $$$ from bigger groups of people....
Came in waited 25mins before we even saw someone.. had to address the issue to the front door staff jua to get a waiter..
Then the waiter got our order wrong and didn't even write it down jua tries to remember it.. I don't like this place or the staff!!

This place always has bomb food and the service is on point. It's super clean and I never feel like I'm gonna get claustrophobic. Today, I had this server named Fredrick who was all over it, making sure I had everything I needed. I've tried a bunch of different dishes from the menu and they've all been awesome.
Kid-friendliness: I have brought all three of my young kids and they are very accommodating

Service was pretty bad, again. Never once checked on us for refills or when the food got there. Order came out wrong. Had to find the waitress and we let her know. she was rude about it and continued to bus a table with another waitress and watched her chit chat. Then never sent out the correct order. 2nd time here with non existant service. Food was better this time. A male server came to apologize for his co worker. He was cool and on top of his tables checking in on them and super friendly. Wish we sat with him. Will do take out from now on.

The tacos are normally my go-to. The Surf N Turf give me the Tri Tip Fix I need when I come back to the west coast. The fish tacos are also amazing and flaky.
For appetizers, the corn ribs are awesome and waaaay easier to eat if you have a beard, lol.
The staff is always great and the atmosphere is pretty relaxing with lots of windows and views of the hills and fields.
Oh, and dont forget about the desert.... funnel cake with fruity pebbles ?
