    Thai Green Chicken
    Matthew S.

    Stopped in on the way to Hearst Castle. We wanted a place that had something for everyone, and we were all happy. My bride had the Thai chicken and it was delicious. I had the shrimp scampi special and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the shrimp and how well it was prepared, the dish was fabulous. Desserts were awesome, and we almost did not get them, glad we did. Super cute venue with a great small town yet upscaled feel. Thank you for a great experience, fresh food, and tasty treats.

    Salmon

    This was within walking distance of where we were staying so we decided to check it out. It's open air and there's greenery everywhere which was very nice, and as the evening became cooler they turned on their outdoor gas heaters which was much appreciated. We ordered the Salmon, the chicken, and the lamb curry. Each one of these dishes were absolutely delicious, they came out hot and in a timely manner. I was particularly impressed with the lamb curry because I was expecting it to be watered down, but it was not. It didn't have as much heat as my Dad's, but it tasted authentic. It took a ridiculously long time for anyone to approach our table once we were seated. Usually if servers are super busy or they get double seated or something, one of the managers will help them out by coming over and telling us someone's on their way, or they might get our drink order started, they do something to help mitigate the absence of acknowledgment from the server, but that did not happen. I observed the comings and going's of all the staff (managers, servers, bussers) that were passing us by and every single one of them averted their eyes. This is not what I expected from a place like this, and every moment that passed made the experience even more off putting. Just as I was deciding to get up and leave the restaurant, because it seemed like we were invisible, our server showed up. Just in time. From there forward we received short but adequate service.

    Salt Roasted Beets + side of fries

    Food was 5/5, service 4/5. So overall 4.5/5. Robin's is a great place with healthier, fresh, and unique menu items with an ambience to match the menu. Sitting out in the garden feels lovely and like you are tucked away (and the space heaters do their job). There were a lot of tasty sounding menu items and easily shared the salted beets and Thai green chicken. Both had wonderful flavor and were delicious; we were super happy with our order and would absolutely order those items again. Our server was not super attentive and did not come in to check on us during the meal. I would definitely go again when in Cambria and would recommend to others!

    The place is soo cute. Indoor and outdoor seating. The garden is beautiful. The service was so nice. And the food was delicious. I got the Thai chicken curry and it was very flavorful. My husband got the lamb one and that was really really flavorful. Delicious stuff can't wait to go back

    This restaurant is tucked away on a side street off Main Street. The decor in the inside and outside is lovely. I went by myself for lunch. I was slightly annoyed that they escorted several people to their tables before me even though I was there first. But once I was seated the awesome wait staff made up for it. The salmon bowl was very good. Everything tasted very fresh. I recommend this restaurant.

    Closer to a 4.5 stars. Loved it. Wonderful ambience, Service was perfect and the amazing stuffed Plablano was out of this world. Great comforting place to have a nice evening!

    We were here in March a few years ago and liked it so much we decided to come again during our December visit. The place is even more charming during the holidays with the Christmas decorations and lights adorning the warm wood interior. The restaurant is housed in a cozy historic home built in 1935, and that vibes still lingers in the dining rooms and garden setting. We felt like we were dining in a piece of the town's story. The food reflects the culture of the central coast. Well executed, simple but with a global influence, comforting and fresh. On this visit, highlights included the filet mignon, cooked to a perfect medium rare and plated over mashed potatoes with a velvety demi glace sauce and mushrooms. The baby back ribs, which were tender with a wonderful savory glaze. The autumn salad was fresh with seasonal apples, squash, pomegranate, and feta mingling nicely together. For dessert we shared the pumpkin cheesecake which creamy not overly sweet and a graham crust that crumbled nicely together to the chew. We'll definitely come back on our next visit to beautiful Cambria. Happy Eating!

    Cheeseburger & Fries
    Chipper C.

    Was meeting up with some long time friends in Cambria and we decided to go to Robin's. We made a reservation online and arrived a bit early. They had a garden table for us, even though the reservation system said none were available. What a peaceful setting. The tables were spaced appropriately so that the guests could still have meaningful conversations without having to worry about being overheard. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and boy was I happy. The fries were amazing, wish there had been more since I had to pace myself while I ate my burger!! My friends enjoyed their meals, as well. The server refilled our waters in a timely manner, which is always appreciated. I will definitely come here again!!

    We were so nervous about the wait but they fit us in very quickly. We ordered a side of baba ganoush...we could have drank it. Insane. I got the green chicken and it was superb. It was also so cute and romantic inside. The garden is also gorgeous. You can tell that whoever owns it cares very much about it.

    Beef Short Rib Bulgogi Rice Bowl
    Francie M.

    One of the two must go food spots in Cambria IMO (besides hidden kitchen of course). I will caveat that Robin's international cuisine has a California fusion interpretation - a beef bulgogi here will not be the same as a Korean restaraunt in the Bay Area, but all of their food is well executed and absolutely delicious (from someone with snobby food taste buds). It's been a while since I visited so I was excited to try their refreshed lunch menu. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl, which came with hearty black rice, tender & juicy beef, and pickled cabbage and other vegetable toppings. It hit the spot! My aunt reported the ahi tuna poke bowl was delicious as well. Logistics: - Indoor seating, covered heated patio seating, and gorgeous outdoor garden seating - Street parking in front or public free lot around the corner - Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options available

    I was in town for the holiday market and this restaurant is conveniently located next to the shuttle pick up area. The restaurant is super cute! Despite the cold, we brave the outside patio since the heaters kept us nice and warm. We enjoyed a quick dinner for 3. We got the short rib, filet mignon, and meze platter. We really enjoyed all 3 items. Great fresh flavor for the price point. Service was friendly and loved that they accommodated to our request to place our order quickly to get to the holiday lights event.

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts,
    Michelle T.

    This was a great choice for our first night in Cambria. We went about 6 and without reservations. And the host was about to say it would be a long wait. He said they could seat us in the bar area in about 5 minutes but they had live entertainment with a charge of 8.00 per person. I felt that was very fair and to not have to wait. When we were seated the live music was going and pleasant . So the 8 and 9 year old boys and adults really enjoy it and was very relaxing after 8 hour drive. Now for the food we started with bread there was a charge per person but it was so worth it. Then the boys had butter noodles with parmesan cheese and split 8 oz filet that came with broccoli and mash potatoes . My daughter had the short ribs and I had ahi poke stack. For dessert the boys had scope of vanilla ice cream and daughter had peach crisp. Everything was exceptional ! I would go back again in Cambria . We were also seated in the garden area and it was very lovely with the plants and not cold because of the heaters. Have to say again the music was also very good!

    Ask the Community - Robins Restaurant

    Do they have a full bar?

    They absolutely do NOT have a full bar. Beer and wine only.

    Are there any vegetarian or vegan entrees or sides?

    Many! This is a great spot for vegans and vegetarians. I very much recommend the Robin's Chow, and the spring rolls.

    Are you dog friendly?

    If you sit outside you can bring your dog tables are kind of close together so if it's crowded a small dog would be better

    Is Robin's dog friendly?

    Yes, we are. We have a lovely garden seating area. However, when we have a private event in our garen there will not be seating for pets so best to check if you are coming on the weekend. Mostly the events are Friday night & saturday.

    What is the corkage fee at Robin's?

    $20

    What is the name of the cookbook that they sell's at front desk? ($30) do you have a photo of the cover?

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.

A quick online search will tell you that an olallieberry is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry and it's all delicious . I had a slice of pie a la mode. My daughter had an olallieberry cream puff and my partner had a slice of cherry pie. All were so good, especially with a nice cup of coffee. We sat in the outside garden patio area on a lovely late spring day. It was perfect. The service was friendly and yes it can take a little long, but it's a small shop with one guy doling out the pies, so be patient , it's worth it.

We ordered the beef tenderloin tips, signature chicken pot pie, ollalieberry burger, and braised beef stroganoff. We especially enjoyed the beef tenderloin tips and the burger. The burger patty had a mild gamey flavor which I think is due to the cow being grass-fed (correct me if I'm wrong). Staff were also very friendly. The owner himself came out to talk to us. The restaurant is located in a quaint, picturesque town. We enjoyed walking around to see the other shops afterward. The parking lot was small but we were able to find parking.
