    Yam and goat cheese wontons

    This has become one of my favorite restaurants in Cambria. When they very first opened I didn't care for it but revisited after reading Steven and Shawna's reviews our last trip a few years ago. We went again this trip and were blown away. They had a puff pastry stuffed and topped with local mushrooms, pancetta, and a wine sauce. Zero exaggeration, this was one of the best things I have ever eaten. The texture and flavors were a culinary masterpiece. Unfortunately it was a special that night so no clue how often they have it For dinner I went with the pecan crusted halibut topped with a leek sauce and my wife had the fish and chips. Both completely outstanding. The fish and chips were so good I kept stealing off my wife's plate. My dish was equally as good. Even the broccoli was delicious!! Nothing was left on our plates. I'm not sure why they asked if it was our anniversary when they did zero for it. Don't ask if you don't care. Previous visit I had the lamb and my wife had the steak. Highly recommend you eat her. Call and make a reservation! Don't bother telling them it's your birthday or anniversary when they ask since they don't really care!

    Getting a whole bottle is always worth it.

    Had a lovely dinner here on Wednesday during a little getaway enjoying all the beauty the area has to offer. Our server was so nice and took great care of us from the moment we sat down. She described the appetizer special so fondly that we decided to get it. But really, it's hard to go wrong with puff pastry, chanterelle mushrooms, & pancetta. We also ordered a bottle of wine for the table and it was one of the best gewurztaminers I've ever tried. It also went really well with my dinner. I had the halibut special and it was perfectly cooked. It practically melted in my mouth. My spouse loved his duck and almost licked the place because the sauce was so good. Definitely a nice choice for dinner and a high quality of food that matches the price. I could see us going back again for sure.

    I can't believe it has been five years since we had dinnerat this first rate restaurant. Five years and the great menu is till the same, with all our favorites like thequinoa squash and flat iron steak. This visit, our professional server steered me to the salmon, and I was able to substitute mashed potatoes for rice, and spinach for broccoli, no problem. The salmon had just the right crispness, juicy and tender. The interior is cozy, no matter which room you are seated in, with a comfortable, yet white table cloth feel. My husband couldn't resist their short rib special, or their apple berry crisp, and was pleased with both. We will be back sooner, this time to appreciate this well trained kitchen.

    Server was super sweet. Happy and said the specials where you could actually understand her. Ended up getting the lobster in her recommendation. Excellent with several prawn and great sauce. Broccoli was perfect and brown rice was too

    Lamp chop was good. But if your like me bring thai pepper sauce lol

    We arrived in Cambria around 2 PM, and my husband found a restaurant called Indigo Moon. I checked their website to see if we could make a reservation. After submitting the request, it noted that we would receive a second email to confirm the reservation. Fortunately, I did receive that confirmation later. Overall, our experience was quite good. I had read mixed reviews about the restaurant, which initially made me hesitant to add it to our list. However, since we had an open dinner slot while waiting for our room, I encouraged my husband to choose a restaurant, and he picked Indigo Moon. The restaurant itself was beautiful and impeccably clean, with a lovely outdoor seating area. We sat under a cover, and it was quite chilly, but the waiter offered to turn on the heater, which was a nice touch. Otherwise, I'm not sure if my husband would have enjoyed the cold! Our service was excellent. The young waitress was friendly, patient, and professional. I was concerned we might encounter a snobbish waiter based on some Yelp reviews, but that wasn't the case here. When we arrived, our reservation was noted, and we were seated promptly. The waiter quickly brought us water and bread, which I appreciated since I wasn't sure if we needed to ask for them based on the menu. We ordered appetizers: lobster bisque and crab cakes. Both were delicious, especially the lobster bisque; I nearly asked for more to go, but since we were traveling, I decided against it. I liked that the dishes were served in the right order: first the complimentary bread and butter, then the crab cakes, followed by the lobster bisque, and finally our main courses. I ordered the scallops, which were superb, complemented perfectly by the sauce. My husband enjoyed them as well. I chose the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection but lacked flavor in the meat itself. While the seasoning on the outside was nice, the meat didn't have the depth of flavor I was hoping for. As an Asian, I found myself wishing for some Thai pepper sauce to dip into. I did request hot sauce and was pleased to find Tabasco like Sriracha sauce available. The steamed broccoli, however, was outstanding--soft and perfectly cooked, unlike the usual overcooked versions I often encounter. When I made the reservation, I noted that we were celebrating our anniversary and asked if they offered any special touches. I forgot to mention I wouldn't mind paying for something special, but when we ordered dessert, the waiter surprised us with a key lime pie, complete with a candle and a lovely "Happy Anniversary" wish. We had a wonderful time and were glad we didn't skip this restaurant. I hope others who have had negative experiences find that Indigo Moon is improving. It can be hit or miss, but I truly hope they maintain their high standards for both service and food.

    The flat iron steak and lobster bisque were both excellent. Steak was tender and flavorful, and the bisque was rich and satisfying. The fettuccine was pretty bad, there was way too much white wine that hadn't cooked off, which threw off the whole flavor. Service was mixed. One staff member greeted us without a word and didn't give us napkins. But the waiter who brought us water and the waitress who took our order were friendly. Overall, an okay experience. Probably wouldn't order the pasta again, but might come back for the steak.

    Service was great. Really loved the pork chop with cherry glaze. The juice from the glaze also made the mashed potatoes taste amazing.

Walked in to the bright and airy shop and was immediately greeted with a big smile. The shop is small, but thoughtfully laid out.

I picked up a block of local Garlic Jack cheese to add to a charcuterie board I'm making for a Christmas party. There were so many different things to check out that I cannot wait to go back next time I am in town to see what other local treats I can experience!

The shop is stocked with goods made locally in SLO County. You can tell the store is thoughtfully thought out- from the display of the goods to the available items. There's things for everyone- the foodie, the plant lovers, the souvenir searchers, the four legged (doggy & kitty) lovers, the home and yard decorators, the clothes lovers, etc. The store isn't always open, but go into the pizza restaurant next door and ask when it'll be open. It's totally worth making that effort. The owner is super sweet and so nice too! I purchased a metal Cambria sign and we just mounted it on driftwood from Moonstone Beach. We absolutely love it !!!

    This cheese shop is clearly doing something right. The space is charming, the selection impressive,…read moreand the quality of ingredients speaks for itself. But if you're planning a visit, build in serious buffer time. We stopped in on Memorial Day and, with several parties ahead of us in line, didn't place our order until nearly 20 minutes after arriving. By the 45-minute mark, our food still hadn't come out for two paninis and a soup. What made it especially frustrating was watching parties who arrived after us get their cheese orders and drinks served before anyone had even started assembling our sandwiches. It was clear the shop was understaffed for the holiday weekend, with one person managing the counter and another in the back prepping. We ended up asking to take the sandwiches cold just to get out the door, only to have both stuffed into one small bag, sloppily wrapped. The soup, unfortunately, came out lukewarm regardless. None of this felt malicious. The shop has an unhurried, artisanal quality that's part of its appeal, but that can't fully account for the gap between the experience and a nearly hour-long wait for a simple lunch order while others moved ahead of us. Come for the cheese, come for the atmosphere. Just don't come hungry with anywhere to be.
