They made my sandwich with grilled shrimp since I don't eat any other meat(s). This place was hopping with customers which is a good indicator that the food, atmosphere and service is sufficient! There was a slight wait for drinks but that's expected when business is booming! Another plus is that they had flavored creamer for my coffee! TIP: The portion sizes are large and shareable! My hubby couldn't finish all of his food.

I'd give it 5 stars, but there are areas they can improve on…read more.. 1. $6.95 for a kid's lemonade is way too expensive. 2. I'm pretty sure they don't offer real maple syrup. The viscosity completely gives it away that it's "table syrup". That's okay. But why not offer real maple syrup as a chargeable option? 3. The pancakes are very good. But they don't offer fresh blueberries. They offer some kind of berry mix. I don't like blackberries. To me, blueberries are typical standard fare that most breakfast places with pancakes offer. The service is generally excellent. The place is very clean and bright. We will probably be returning. But hope they can make some needed improvements.

As we were walking out, the waiter ran after us to get us taken care of asap. But I'm sorry, the service is shit, food is EH honestly (tiny ass portions for the price), and Ill just hit BJs for faster service, not matter how busy they get. And ontop of it, cant have a g0ddamn decent conversation in the place since they blast their speakers to level 12. I guess the more drunk the douchebags get in there, the more music needs to get louder too

We visited Patria in to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday, and it was a hit for all of us. We…read moremade reservations ahead of time and were seated promptly. The restaurant has a great drink selection and a great menu. We were pleasantly surprised to learn they offer a Tuesday dinner special that includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert for only $32! This menu also had a special drink selection. I ordered the house salad, prawn risotto, and chocolate lava cake. The salad was very fresh with spring mix and butter lettuce, which I especially enjoy, and it was topped with a light vinaigrette style house dressing that was light and delicious. The prawn risotto was creamy, flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The chocolate lava cake was rich and very chocolatey, a bit too rich for my personal taste, but still enjoyable. It also came with vanilla gelato, which was delicious. As a table, we also ordered the tableside tiramisu, which was such a fun and unique experience. I am a tiramisu connoisseur, so anytime I see it on the menu, I ordered it. It is my favorite dessert. Although this was not my favorite one, I very much enjoyed the experience. I will mention the espresso needs a little more time to fully soak into the ladyfingers, but the presentation and experience alone made it worth trying. The ambiance was lovely with nice background music, and the service was attentive and welcoming. Everyone in our party truly enjoyed their meal, especially the birthday girl. Overall, Patria is a fantastic dinner spot in Salinas, and I would absolutely return and highly recommend it.

I'm glad to report that last night had some music in the bar, it was soft and sounded like Italian folk (Frank Sinatra would've been nice too) but it was perfectly fine because it broke up the atmosphere in a positive way. Calamari appetizer was great and my pork chop was too. Service was equally great as it was prompt and accompanied. I'll be back soon, so if you haven't tried Patria yet, you should.
