We ordered a slice of the olallieberry pie along with a slice of the chocolate raspberry cake. Both were so good! The desserts weren't overly sweet, and the tartness was perfectly balanced. Honestly, I wish I could've gotten a whole cake to take home, but that might've been a little too much indulgence lol. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Cambria and craving something sweet!

Just stopped in on a Friday night and sat at the bar - at first glance it looks like a cluster so…read moreI'll will write the review as things progress. - cute and very busy pub / restaurant - there are only 2 servers and so far they are as attentive as possible for sure, both ladies are hustling with a smile. - We have watched 2 parties of 4 walk out. - We got our drinks right away and only waited a few minutes to get our order in. - While we waited I saw. (2 ) available 4- top tables open, but a party of 6 was told 30 minute wait. They declined and left. - A person came in asking for take out only to be told they were "inundated and not taking take out orders at this time." So far this is a management issue - these ladies were giving and needed 1 more server to keep them caught up- lots of business waking out the door due to poor scheduling- what a shame. One person behind the bar and 2 dining room servers would make this successful. It's too easy. - Food came out in a timely manner. Gary's pasta - 10/10 Clam chowder - 10/10 definitely homemade. My wedge- a little pricey but 8/10 only because the dressing came out clearly of a jar and no blue cheese crumbles. (Little things make a huge difference) - Moscow Marlin drink 10/10 - Another walk out. Lots of empty glasses at the bar. Would we come back? Only with these 2 servers. ( I think we got lucky) Definitely not on a Friday and If it's this much of a mess on a Friday, I can only imagine what a Saturday would look like. Cute place with amazing clam chowder and pasta.

I have to say I was a little bit disappointed this time. I had a Reuben sandwich with onion rings…read more The pastrami was really tough, like you would take a bite, but you couldn't bite through it and so the whole piece of pastrami came out of the sandwich at once. And the onion rings were pretty boring. I don't think they make them there, I am not sure about that, though. But they had kind of a generic look and feel to them, but the problem was they had zero flavor. Like nobody put salt on them when they took them out of the fryer. That's the first thing you do when you pull something out of a fryer, you season it. The server was nice enough, but they have a thing now where if you ask for water, they want to sell you a bottle of water. I get that things are tough for restaurants, but I almost rather pay a little more for the sandwich and get water, if you know what I mean. I'm no food expert, or running a restaurant expert, these are just my reactions as a local who stops in here fairly regularly. I think if the folks who run this place feel like there's any value to my little thoughts, they would be easy to fix and wouldn't cost anything at all really. I've been coming here for years, and I want these folks to do well.

This is a central California chain, with a few sister locations nearby, and another one in Fresno…read more(Doghouse Grill-right across the street from CSU Fresno). I have frequented both the Cambria and Fresno locations, partially due to the consistently decent service and mostly due to the quality and quick food. It doesn't matter if you show up right when they open, or if you arrive when there's a line out the door waiting to place orders, service is always much quicker than you'd expect. Food is decent--whether you get a salad (note-the side or small salad is huge--it fills a full to-go container), fish and chips, a sandwich or burger. Substitutions are usually not an issue, and ranch/bbq sauces are available at no extra charge. I'm generally impressed with how absolutely fresh the lettuce and veggies are for the salads. I really have grown used to spending $10 or more for a much smaller salad at other locations and have grown accustomed to picking out wilted/rotted veggies and lettuce. Not here-everything is cold, crisp and fresh. Meat is seasoned well-- and the fries are plentiful. There is usually plenty of seating, whether inside or on the patio. Parking can be rough along Main Street, but if you're patient, you can usually find something fairly close. It does help that the grill is towards the end of the street. Rest rooms are limited and often running low on supplies. It can be quite a wait during busy times. In all, this is a great place for quick and decent food. It is consistently enjoyable for the whole family. We'll definitely be back whenever we visit.

But this taco should never exist.. Amount of meat is very large considering its price & also cooked well , but men what is this? Steak, melted cheddar cheese, and lettuce shred..no cilantro, no onions whatsoever They said they put cilantro on the salsa.. well cilantro swam away whatever ocean in the front and only left its few stems.. I grew up in LA area with amazing tacos from amigos, my inner taco lover spirit disowned me a bit today. But otherwise, the inside atmosphere and staffs are amazing

Back in 2020, my wife and I tried to eat here, but fate (and COVID) had other plans…read more Our drinks had just been served, our food hadn't arrived yet, and suddenly local law enforcement walked in and announced everything was shutting down due to COVID. We were politely asked to leave. No fault of the restaurant whatsoever--it was just one of those surreal moments that perfectly captured the beginning of that crazy chapter in history. Fast forward six years... We randomly picked this place for dinner and, as soon as we walked in, we both looked at each other and said, "Wait... haven't we been here before?" Then it hit us. This was that restaurant. Apparently, we had unfinished business. This time, the universe finally let us eat. I ordered the Ortega burger with sweet potato fries, my wife had the patty melt with onion rings, and we took an order of linguini home for later. Every single bite was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the six-year wait. The service was just as impressive. Karina was our waitress, and she was attentive, friendly, charming, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place. And if you decide to eat here, there's a very good chance you'll get your food much sooner than we did... only six years ahead of schedule.

The staff is very knowledgeable of the food which is mostly organic. I had a Habit, Cabernet Franc, Coquelicot Vineyard 2024 which was like drinking candy. It was smooth and luxurious. Most of the wines are local de Paso Robles or the Santa Barbara area. Be sure and ask for Delphine. Ahe is an absolute expert on the menu and the wine list. She is also very sweet. My meal was excellent except for the roasted chicken which was tough. I was so disappointed because I wanted to love it. The presentation was beautiful. And the bread and salad was amazing. But the star of the show was dry. This restaurant deserves its rating. It's amazing. But it seems like the actual food itself is slipping.

I decided on the prime rib dinner, which came with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli & cauliflower. My friend ordered the ravioli. I ordered my prime rib medium, however, what I got was more on the well done side. I should've sent it back. The other thing was that my meal wasn't very warm at all, where my friend's pasta was very hot. The prime rib wasn't the best I've had and it was way overcooked. For dessert, we split the flourless chocolate cake which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. At least the dessert wasn't a disappointment. Service wasn't the most attentive.

The bread tasted freshly baked and was served with fresh, house-made butter. The salad and homemade dressing were delicious as well. We especially enjoyed the filet and seafood special. In my experience, parties this large can overwhelm a restaurant, but Madeline's handled our group with calm expertise. The courses were paced perfectly, water glasses were never empty, and drinks and service were always attended to. They also made our champagne toast feel special and perfectly timed as part of the celebration. We were able to relax, celebrate, and enjoy our time together without ever feeling rushed or overlooked. I would definitely recommend Madeline's for your next special occasion or celebration, especially with a larger group.

It's a cozy restaurant with an intimate setting on Main Street serving dishes packed with flavor! All the dishes were well prepared and presented with lots of detail and care but the two standouts in my opinion were the Rillettes de Gibier and the braised short rib. The rillettes de gibier had was packed with a fatty flavor and just a hint just a hint of gaminesss that made it a great start to the meal. The braised short ribs were just so tender and the mushroom flavor really shined with each bite. It was woody and had a natural, forest-floor quality that grounded the heavy, fatty richness of the short ribs. I could eat that every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Glad I found Indigo Moon. The outdoor patio is quite large and has a nice ambiance for al fresco dining with your pup. I had the Faroe Island Salmon served with broccoli and cauliflower with brown & wild rice. The salmon was one of the best salmons I've had. I usually don't eat the skin, but this skin was crisp and the salmon was cooked perfectly. If you love salmon, this is a must. My friend had a chicken pasta and also loved their main dish. We were too full to have dessert. Next time. Service was nice and attentive. My pup also loved the patio and loved the fresh bowl of water. I'll definitely be back next trip to Cambria.

A bifurcated experience…read more Service started great,; the cuisine was above average. Being it was a weekday, the restaurant was not crowded and in the first half staff was attentive. But towards the end, when it came time for the after dinner round , and coffee, something happened. Staff disappeared for a long time. One of our party had ordered coffee and it took almost 15 minutes for it to come. And when he did come the first time, he brought out the pot, but no cup. Realizing his error, he went back and instead of 30 seconds later producing a cup of coffee, it took another 10 minutes. And then after that, it took a long time for the check to come. So it was strange, although I would recommend the cuisine there, maybe the staff was just having an off night.

Just look for the building with the whimsical cartoonish pie statue out front. Darn cute! So many pie flavor choices. Slices, mini pies or whole pies. Sweet or savory. Plus the cafe menu includes sandwiches, wraps, panini's, salads, soup, stews, comfort food entrees, and hot dogs. The young man working the counter was fantastic. Sincerely friendly.welcoming, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Provided great recommendations. We ordered a hot dog $10. All beef. It was split grilled served with side of potato salad. And a slice of olallieberry pie $7. The dog had a nice quality snap, good flavor. The potato salad for me was just ok. The pie was heavenly. Perfect thickness of crust; it was dense, flaky and tender all around yummy. My tastebuds were doing a happy dance! The cafe has a charming farmhouse interior. The cafe interior tables were fitted with plastic table cloths. Not a fan of those. The back patio was super cute. The area is compact. Gorgeous flowers and plants all lushly thriving and blooming. Whimsical metal sculpture art . Water fountains that gave off a calming trickling water sound. The windmill structure was pretty cool. Dual purpose of up cycle art and patio cover. Almost every table had a huge umbrella providing shade. Next to the back patio are the restrooms housed in its own stand alone building. Could use a refresh. There are a few spots in the car lot in the back. But the lot is tiny and hard to maneuver about for larger vehicles.
