We have visited Eproson House twice and the family loves it! The drinks are spectacular, all of the food is delicious and we have had great service. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Went here for Father's Day dinner with the family, and it was not very impressive. My wife's had to wait for her ice tea for about 35 months, part of my dinner order, (soup) was forgotten about, then given to the table next to us. Food quality was not up to par. We have eaten here plenty of times before, but this time it was not great. Be cautious if you go there. read more

Drinks - 5 of 5, Food - 1.5 of 5, Bread 5 of 5 We were excited to try The Eproson House for the first time, but unfortunately the experience fell short of expectations. We ordered the 10oz Flank steak, and it took quite a long time to come out. When it finally arrived, it was cold. After sending it back, the replacement still came out only lukewarm. The steak itself lacked seasoning or flavor, and the sides that came with it weren't very enjoyable either. We ended up relying on A1 sauce just to make it decent. On the positive side, the bread with oil and vinegar was outstanding, and the drinks were excellent -- definitely the highlight of the evening. Our waitress was kind and tried to make up for the experience by not charging us for the drinks, which we really appreciated. That gesture stood out even though the food itself was disappointing. Unfortunately, overall service seemed overwhelmed for a Thursday night; we even overheard other diners commenting on how long it was taking to get their food. While we appreciated the great drinks and thoughtful service from our waitress, the main dishes left us underwhelmed, and we're not sure we'd return anytime soon. read more

The Chicken Cobb Salad was just okay. The portion size was decent, and the ingredients seemed fresh, but nothing really stood out. The chicken was a bit dry, and the overall flavor felt a little flat, even with the dressing. It wasn't bad, just not as tasty as I had hoped. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to order it again, but it'll do if you're craving a salad. We sat outside (by choice), which was nice at first, but the experience was disrupted by loud cars passing by frequently. It made it a bit hard to relax or hold a conversation. I would like to point out our server Alicia was very attentive and super nice! read more

Our family of six enjoyed a truly exceptional dinner experience at the Eproson House last night. The outside seating was just perfect. Every meal ordered was outstanding, and the service, from the moment we arrived to checking out, was impeccable. We will definitely return and encourage others to try it out! read more

Karaoke on Thursdays is the place to be. The sound set-up is on point. The crowd is supportive. The singers are skilled. The song choices are solid. Their indoor wood burning stove keeps the place cozy. If you're looking for a fun Thursday evening in the area - stop on by Eproson House. Trust. read more

First and foremost the staff are wonderful. My review is purely for the food itself. I got the potato skins and a smash burger. While I was pleased the potato skins were basically just baked potatoes, they were severely lacking in toppings even though I had specifically requested extra toppings, it left them mostly bland due to how much potato there was. The smash burger was DROWNED in aioli, so much that the burger was basically soup. The aioli completely overpowered everything else and it was all I could taste. It was pretty disappointing. Had know it would be smothered in it, I probably would've asked it be omitted entirely. read more

Terrible experience at one of our favorite spots. We were treated so unfairly and quite literally feel like we were profiled based on what we were wearing, maybe? We had rolled in after a long day of work but we were cleaned up just in comfy clothes- mountain style. We had been sitting down for almost 10 min when we saw another family get seated that the bartender/owner/server must have known because they were treated way differently than us. Mind you we are still sitting here with no water, no bread and they are getting their bread and water with the quickness. We were the ONLY table inside they were not that busy. The man who took care of them seemed like the owner, we usually see him behind the bar. Our server who we love and usually takes great care of us had way too much on her hands (even tho it wasn't busy) and it was very apparent. The new bus boy was running around in circles not really doing anything, he didn't clean the table we sat down at- it still had crumbs and wet food smeared on the table. He's running around with this nasty rag in his hands and then touching our water glasses (still no water to drink). We got up and walked out and not one person said a word to us. It was one of the RUDEST experiences I have ever had there. I was raised up here and this is a place my family talks highly of when we have guests. We have spent thousands of dollars here and tip very well. We were happily greeted at The Branch and will be sending our people their way from now on. read more

We go to the Eproson House once or twice per year - usually for celebrations. The service is always good and the atmosphere is the best in the area. However, yesterday, in prep for my daughter's birthday dinner, we accessed the menu on line to review choices and prices. An hour later we were seated and provided an entirely different menu. Choices were severely limited compared to the menu we viewed on line, and the prices were significantly higher . . . my 12 oz. New York steak went from $33 on line to $42 in the restaurant. My daughter's rib-eye went from $40 to $48. I accept that, under current "conditions", the prices could go up, but . . . 20-25% ? Unfortunately, the quality of my steak was marginal, at best. Although properly cooked to order and "tasty", a properly cut New York steak avoids the line of gristle that separates it from the Rib-eye, this one didnt. My daughter's rib-eye was at least 30-40% fat. We will likely go back, but not soon, and we'll order something other than steak. read more

The service levels are inconsistent. We were there for dinner and it took 30 minutes to be greeted by our harried server. The soup was like wallpaper paste and inedible. The main courses were decent and I've always liked the cozy atmosphere and history behind the place. I'd stick to the bar for some snacks and drinks here. read more

Food? Delicious a bit soupy for the pricing but 7/10 delicious. This is the second occasion I have been and the environment is fairly casual/relaxed which is nice so I will give them that. The service? In my brother in laws words who owns several bars around the Bay Area, "horrendous" last time I was there my steak was medium well to well and I asked for it medium however they disagreed which I thought that was odd because I've had lots of medium filet mignons, and they were not very nice about my polite feedback. This recent occasion I don't think we were greeted after being seated when we had reservations and there was for 20 minutes for drinks and we were ready by the time that happened. Only then did I get one refill. So if they were to work on the consideration of their customers this could be a WONDERFUL restaurant! Plus I have not been but I do hear the bar is awesome. Hoping for the best for this restaurant they are very promising. read more

We're local and recently had dinner at the Eproson House in Twain Harte and had a great experience. The food was excellent, the service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. We had the NY steaks, potato skins, and fettuccine Alfredo -- all were absolutely delicious. It's always nice to find a place that consistently delivers great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Tried the fish and chips. Shockingly bad- 3 chunks of what I think might have been chicken. Dense, overcooked, under breaded, placed on top of soggy fries. Took forever to arrive. Never again. read more

What a great spot! We had a delicious lunch here. We enjoyed the smash burger with some of the best onion rings I have ever eaten. We also had a couple of Dirty Marys which come with tobacco vodka and blue cheese olives. Yummy! The service was top notch. Our waitress was cheerful and attentive to our requests. Be sure to make this a stop if you are in the Twain Hart area. read more

Was the greatest Ribeye steak in ca and friendly staff. Now after returning for the Ribeye only to get the Rarest steak I've ever had and first being served a prime rib instead ( wrong order) waited another 25 min and to cut into it it mooed back at me. I'm Not one to return back to kitchen... ( too many horror stories ). Friends was the same. Prices doubled. Items removed from menu. Atmosphere felt a lil off also. Come to find out.... The manager Casey not there anymore, the chef Ron is gone and... a good Bartender. They better bring back the original crew or they gonna go Down in sales . Hope they do what's right. Loyal customer.... read more

We hadn't been in Twain Harte for over three years so we enjoyed our visit back to this lovely restaurant. We always enjoy sitting out under the trees, but the road can get a little noisy sometimes. Our server was pleasant. We split the Caesar salad which was crisp and delicious. For our entrées, we got the salmon and a ribeye steak. Both were well prepared. read more

We really enjoyed the prime rib steak; was juicy, perfectly grilled and tasty. Side dishes with the rice, steamed veggies done right. Ordered calamari strip for extra $ . The clams was also nice & came with bread. Loved the huckleberry ice cream! The staff always checked on us and very accommodating . Love the historical building and bar with live band ( Saturday Night ) was fun to watch post-dinner. read more

The host was lovely and made us feel welcome immediately. He had the most amazing earrings and was delightful. The server was equally attentive. The food came out quickly and was very delicious.

SO disappointed in Eproson House lately. The service in the dining room is generally very good, but the bar is hit or miss. You mostly sit there trying to wave someone down for a drink refill, or condiment for your meal, etc. because the people working there seem to be more interested in going outside to smoke/vape, or stand in the corner gossiping with each other. If you're their friend? You'll get better service. If you're not? They'll wave you off and tell you they'll be with you in a minute because they are "busy". As far as the menu? It's been revamped - the prices are SKY HIGH these days, and you no longer get a soup or salad with your meal unless you want to pay to add it on. No matter if you eat in the bar or in the dining room, red meat is generally over-cooked, side vegetables are ALWAYS overcooked, the fish specials I've had were overcooked and dry. Honestly for the price, my husband and I have gotten better meals lately at Gus's in Sonora. read more

The service was good and our server was super friendly, however the food was extremely terrible. Especially for the price we paid. The fettuccine Alfredo had no flavor what so ever. It tasted like the sauce was just a water base and nothing else. Just water and sauce. My wife and I didn't even eat half of our meals. Would not recommend this place read more

Wonderful menu and so many diverse choices! Great and attentive service! We have to try the smash burger next!

This is the fourth time we've been here thinking that we were going to have a nice dining experience. Each time we've been there's always been a problem with either the food the ambience or the service. And here we come yet another time and we're very disappointed. I ordered the soup of the day, which was a Bell pepper soup and I asked the server specifically if the soup contain mushrooms because I cannot eat mushrooms and she said no mushrooms. I began eating the soup which was completely disgusting in its own right with little chunks of something inside and absolutely no taste whatsoever. In fact, it didn't taste like peppers at all. Then to my surprise, there are sliced mushrooms in the soup. I was disgusted. I also ordered a side salad and the salad was just lettuce like the kind of lettuce you get from the plastic pack at the market. There was no vegetables included like carrots or tomatoes or croutons. It was just a boring plate of lettuce. The chicken piccata comes in more of a bowl so that it's sitting in a bowl of cream sauce. It's more like boiled chicken as as it sits in the sauce and has no char marks to it because it was probably poached. Another time I tried the Barada appetizer and the cheese was so soft. It was like watery milk. After this last experience, we were so disgusted. We just told the server we had had to go. read more

Eproson House - How anybody messes up soup is beyond me. This is the roasted pepper soup that was inedible - Steakhouses Near Me - Twain Harte, California

HAVE AGAIN: Delicious and perfect baked potato and bread. Nice vegetable selection (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower) but needed a minute or two more cooking. NOT HAVE AGAIN: The filet mignon was good but not enough spices despite the garlic butter. read more

First time here -- it can't highly recommend -- and it's just meh. The building interior is really nice! Definitely blends in with Twain Harte. The service was good -- drinks were kept full, bread fresh and refilled, balsamic vinegar and olive oil flowed as long as we needed more, and a nice vibe from our server. I ordered iced tea, clam chowder, and the 16 ounce ribeye medium rare. Veggies were good, garlic mash was good, tea good. But then the steak. NOT medium rare. This is medium well. I was dining with a large group and did not want to inconvenience them, so did not send the steak back. One of my dinner mates commented that his steak was not cooked correctly either. For about $50, i really expect the sides to be outstanding, and the steak cooked perfectly. read more

This restaurant use to be so good. I don't know what happened, maybe they lost their chef? And they use to give you soup or salad along with your entree. Well that's not the case anymore. And I get it, times are tough in 2025 but your food should still be good quality. Sadly, I don't think I'll be going back. read more

Amazing staff, service, food and customers! Had the best of times here 2 weeks ago ...not one negative thing to say. Very clean. Loved the fresh cocktails and warm and welcoming staff!

Dinner at Eproson House Part 2. The waitress, the only one, was the saving grace. She was pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable. she saved the evening. The other support staff were very helpful and receptive, unfortunately not dressed for a restaurant . The food and service were very good and served in a timely manner. It never appears like there is someone in charge and definatley not evident on a Friday evening. this could be a very good restaurant if they had some one in charge who knew a thing about running a fine restaurant. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years-it's close, good, and prime rib- but it seems to have gone downhill and fast. We patiently waited way too long. I want to say they were understaffed but as the evening went on it dawned on me that we were simply neglected. The steak, that I have ordered a hundred times, was downright confusing - small, grisly, unseasoned. Overall changes to menu are also confusing. Corners are being cut in all the wrong ways. read more

We got there around 5:30 pm on a Friday night, we were ahead of the rush. Friendly waitress , we ordered drinks and looked at the menu. Has ownership and the chef changed? $6 to now add soup or salad that was always included for many years? We ordered scallop risotto with a salad, Alfredo with Chicken , Chicken Piccata , and I got the chicken Parmesan which was new on the menu to us. The two ladies were served first and several minutes later the men got theirs. The Chicken Alfredo was ok, the salad was good, the scallops were good but the risotto was crunchy , the Piccata (which we were told was a light sauce) was a bowl full of thick creamy sauce. My Chicken Parmesan was like chucks of fried chicken with the noodles served in a chili flavored sauce and two big chunks of mozzarella. Not anything like any Chicken Parmesan I've ever had or heard of. We were given 50% off my dish at least. I would like to know why things are so different, we have always had at least decent meals in the years we have gone there. Hope to hear things have changed or we won't be back read more

Clam chowder - thick and yellowish color, lots of clams, and heavy with bacon flavors, potatoes had perfect texture.

The food isn't bad and the service was great. My main complaint is they present themselves as a nice steakhouse, and then you go to the restrooms and they have a bunch of trashy graffiti like it's a truckstop diner. It's in the men's bathroom from what I saw, and my 17-year-old daughter saw a bunch of derogatory offensive writing in the women's bathroom as well. So I suppose, if you were going there without children, it would be OK, read more

Great food and ambience. The service was exceptional as well. I love all of the old world details throughout the space.

Wonderful place to relax! My two buddies (Jeff and Jack) and I stopped by here for some afternoon goodies during our annual fishing trip to Lake Pinecrest. We were not that hungry so we just ordered appetizers and a couple of side salads. 1) Jalapeño Poppers - delicious! Jalapeño pepper stuffed with chorizo sausage, wrapped with bacon and fried. The filling was a nice and spicy tasty sausage. The outside was a mostly cooked pepper wrapped with bacon. These were delicious! 2 & 3)Fried Green Beans and Fried Zukes. Nice spice crunchy coating on the green beans. Zukes were breaded and fried. Delicious too. 4) deep fried shrimp My buddies loved these. Nice spice outer coating and s perfectly friend shrimp. 5) side salads Crispy fresh greens with a nice tasty dressing. Your choice of dressings. 6) Chocolate Cake and ice cream. Order this! Nice thick multi layered rich moist chocolate cake. Very very good. So good that while I was thinking of what to write about the cake, my buddies were helping themselves to it. At first they said "We don't need any dessert". But I ordered one anyways. When they saw it brought to the table, I thought I was sitting with a pack of ravenous hyenas. I'm not sure if they came up for air. You'll see the picture of what they left me. The staff is super friendly here as well! A must stop by place in Twain Harte!! read more
