My Easter dinner experience in the Sunset restaurant was truly delightful. The quiet ambiance was wonderfully enhanced by the fact that the restaurant overlooks the ocean in Trinidad, California, creating a truly relaxing and picturesque setting. The service throughout the meal struck the perfect balance – attentive and responsive without ever feeling intrusive. The meal began with a comforting and flavorful appetizer of tender beef cuts and savory mushrooms served over mashed potatoes that had a noticeable texture to the blend, all enhanced by a rich beef gravy. I found the 'Shark Bite' Wheat IPA to be a satisfying accompaniment to this course. Following the appetizer, my vibrant shrimp pasta arrived, featuring generous portions of shrimp and a bright white wine and citrus sauce that beautifully evoked the flavors of Spring and the coast. This delicious course was accompanied by a refreshing guava mule mocktail from the menu, which my attentive server kindly 'tainted' with a shot of vodka, adding a little extra kick to the enjoyable drink. While the pasta shape required a bit of care to eat neatly, it encouraged a slower pace, allowing me to fully savor the dish and my cocktail. For dessert, instead of a classic trifle, I enjoyed a delightful chocolate variation. As I finished my dining experience with a chocolate mousse with brownies truffle, I found it to be good, though the brownies were a tad tough. For future enjoyment of such a dessert, I would highly recommend serving the brownies warm to enhance their texture and create a lovely contrast with the cool mousse. Overall, the combination of enjoyable courses, excellent and accommodating service, the perfectly timed and personalized beverage, and the beautiful ocean view made for a wonderful Easter dinner. This restaurant offers a truly pleasant and well-rounded dining experience in a stunning location.

An excellent place for dinner during gambling! The food at the Sunset Restaurant was so savory. The Glazed Pork Loin melted in your mouth and the asparagus was fresh as can be. The Sunset Cioppino was a perfect blend of prawns, scallops, hard shell clams, and snapper in a delicious lemony white wine garlic butter sauce with crunch sourdough bread slices. All the portions are HUGE and you will be super full or have leftovers for the next day. The staff is amazing and attentive. Can't go wrong with any meal they offer here.

Wow! Food was fantastic and what a sunset we had last night. But the real winner was the exceptional service we had. The entire staff was awesome. Charliegh was our main server who was just phenomenal! Our large party of 19 was treated fabulous and we couldn’t have asked for for a better night out. Thanks to Charliegh and the rest of the staff for giving us a top experience.

Pretty good food but it was uncomfortably cold. Slow service.

Gorgeous view of the ocean - framed with beautiful redwoods.
Of course, it's the coast. So, timing is the key. We had a nice sunny day and took advantage of it. The weather would have been completely different if we had waited another day. Therefore, if the day has been good to you, go with it.
Meals are reasonably priced for their delicious flavors and terrific ambiance.
I would say that it's best suited for a couple that are having an intimate dinner. Children may not appreciate the venue enough for it to be worth bringing the whole family.

The service was fine, but the food was not. The steak is right up there with the worst I've ever had. They charge $44 for a 2 dollar steak. Chicken carbonara looked and tasted bland. The atmosphere is bad too and it's easy to see why the place was empty on a Friday night.

Great service from our waiter, but unfortunately, that is about all I can say about this restaurant. The view was pretty good, but a lot of unattractive gates and parking lot in the view. The food was not very good. I order my steak medium and it came almost well done. The coconut shrimp was really good. The Caesar salad was super boring and bland in flavor. The baked potato and steamed veggies were just okay. The atmosphere and vibe inside needs a lot of work. It is not welcoming and warm inside. The walls are empty and the tables are empty with just salt and pepper shakers. This restaurant has so much potential, so it’s really a shame. We won’t be back to this restaurant, but we may be back to the casino that’s attached to the building next time. I hope this place can improve over the years. Please add some kind of decor for a warmer vibe.
Beautiful view, great seafood fettuccine and drink prices were very reasonable! Can't wait to go there again ?

Four of us went out there for a delicious meal on Father's day. I had an excellent beef rib dinner with really good vegetables and mashed potatoes and it was around $20 which was really inexpensive. For the portions you get and the ambience this is probably the best deal in the area. I live locally and hadn't been here for a while but have come twice in the last couple of months and it's been excellent full times. And the service from William has been excellent and would highly recommend it. Keep up the great work!
