Delicious food, attentive & friendly hostess and server (twin sisters), and very nice atmosphere. We enjoyed EVERYTHING we ate and the soft jazz playing in the background made for a nice relaxing evening. A great way to end our visit to Cambria! We will definitely be back to eat at this gem again! read more

After being quoted an hour wait at another restaurant, my hubby and I ended up going to Indigo Moon instead. It was a Saturday evening & we had our small dog with us so we were quickly sat on the patio. They have an adorable patio and set up, heaters, beautifully lighting.. the ambiance was fantastic. We were greeted quickly by our server Jackie. She was super sweet & attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband got the fish and chips, I got the salmon tacos and they were honestly one of the best tacos I've ever had. His fish and chips were amazing as well. What a cute, hidden gem. We will definitely be back! read more

We were pleasantly surprised by Indigo Moon. It was more of a fine dining experience than we expected. We came with our dogs and we were seated on the enclosed patio, warmed by heaters. The service was friendly and attentive. The food really good. We (table of 4) ended up splitting a bunch of appetizers - starting with Lobster Bisque, tuna tartare, clams, leek and onion tart and a salad. Everything was flavored really nicely. Although we were only in Cambria for a few days, I'm guessing this is the nicest place in town and I'd recommend. read more

Surprisingly more spacious on the inside than on the outside. Lots of different rooms decorated with local artists' pieces for sale. Our server Julie was attentive and helpful. Though we were seated right away and received our beverages and salad in a reasonable amount of time, the main dishes were delayed quite awhile. The salmon and sablefish with sides of wild rice and asparagus were perfectly cooked and flavorful. The steak though generous was undercooked (it was rare though we ordered medium) and the Caesar salad was bland. read more

Outstanding dinner cuisine and service! I highly recommend Indigo Moon. We started with the Fig & Kalamata Tapenade, an unexpected and wonderful flavor combo. Then we each had the baby greens with pear and gorgonzola salad (my wife added chicken to make her's her entree). The lettuce & fruit was so flavorful and fresh I wondered if they grew it onsite, the lemon vinaigrette was the perfect offset to the sweetness of the caramelized walnuts and ripe pear slices. The Duck Breast with Blackberry Gastrique was prepared perfectly and even the accompanying brown and wild rice was exceptional. We finished off sharing the Chocolate Tower with coffee. Our waitperson brought us water, bread and menus shortly after being seated. Service was attentive & knowledgeable but not intrusive or rushed; just perfect. I think the corkage was $15. A tremendous overall dining experience. We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing dinner tonight at Indigo Moon. The rack of lamb with polenta was divine. Butterscotch pot de crème totally a winner. And being able to bring our small dog Parker was an extra bonus. Parker would definitely give it 2 thumbs up if she had thumbs, but she do because she's a dog. And thank you Dakota for being a perfect waitperson. read more

Indigo Moon was my choice for dinner our first ever night in Cambria. After looking at multiple reviews and restaurants throughout town and looking at the menu Indigo Moon really stood out. I had made reservations for 6pm and we arrived about 10-15 minutes early and were quickly asked whether we wanted inside seating or out. Both areas seemed very nice but there was something about the large outdoor patio that made this feel special and we opted to sit outside. We were quickly shown to our seat and having already looked over the menu beforehand I already knew what it is that I wanted. My wife was on the fence about a couple dishes herself and settled for the New Zealand Rack of Lamb (as I knew she would) while I went with the Flat Iron Steak. To drink we both settled for water and iced tea to drink since they didn't seem to offer a cocktail menu (that I saw) which I was really hoping for. I believe they did offer some beer and wine options however those are not typically for me. The service was friendly and very good throughout, the ambiance was beautiful and serene and the food came out quickly and was cooked to perfection. I had chosen to swap out my fingerling potatoes for mashed and was a little worried after seeing several reviews where others had made the same requests only to not get them but lo and behold mine was correct and absolutely delicious with each bite. My wife also seemed to really enjoy her Lamb Chops as well and it seemed to be a generous portion and cooked well. We ended our evening with some creme brulee for dessert that was the perfect compliment to our meals. I had not seen many of my Yelp friends review this place but I thought it was delicious and our experience was top notch. I hope to return again sometime soon and delve deeper into the menu options and try something new. I highly recommend them after my visit so give them a try and let us know what you think. read more

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

i had been here before and I was excited to share this place with my husband for our anniversary! The server was fine - not overly friendly but we were there to enjoy our evening! Unfortunately there was a dog next to us that barked off and on for about 20 minutes ! The owners did not take the dog outside and the restaurant allowed this disruptive behavior. This was not a service dog it was a young dog that was not trained. There were other guests affected by this and it made for a disappointing evening . The restaurant was not full and they could have offered us another table but they didn't. We mentioned our disappointment to the hostess and were just told ..sorry. We will hesitate to return or recommend this restaurant based on how this was handled. read more

Have been coming to Cambria for ten years, and every trip we discover something wonderful. This year it's Indigo Moon, now our favorite restaurant in Cambria (Robin's rates a worthy close second). All ingredients, especially the seafood, fresh and flavorful... the warm bread and soft butter are not to be missed. Thank you, Indigo Moon. read more

Rack of Lamb was amazing. After traveling 5hrs we wanted to have a good filling meal with the family and this place did not disappoint. Small intimate seating areas, our waitress was absolutely amazing she was upbeat, accommodating to our children and the desert was amazing! read more

Always great food and a nice wine list. They focus on local ingredients and serve solid. Go next time you're in Cambria.

Food was very good price was great!! Tasty fabulous soup!! Need to go there easy in easy out! read more

We had the fettuccine and prawns and wild salmon - the salmon was grilled perfectly. We asked for the prawns on the fettuccine to be grilled rather than sautéed and they had no problem with that. The prawns came out perfect and the pasta was cooked just right. However, the flavor of the white wine in pasta was a little strong. Other than that, we had no complaints. The service from Bella was great. She is quite a character. The ambience on the patio area was pretty good, you almost feel like you're indoors the way it's built out. Highly recommended! read more

TL;DR Prepare yourself for an essay of a review (I didn't expect for it to be this long, but here we are...) I have not been back to Indigo Moon in almost seven years, and I knew that I had to return when back in Cambria for their famous pistachio-crusted goat cheese salad. I made reservations for 4:30PM on Sunday (opening time), and we arrived early to be first to get seated in the indoor patio-- within an hour, the place was full! I would definitely recommend making reservations if you're dining in. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu/specials of the day. Despite the slight mix-up of forgetting the goat cheese salad, she was quick to get them right over to us. Excellent service, despite the dinner rush hour-- A+ in my book! Besides getting half orders of the goat cheese salad, we ordered crab cakes for starters, along with pork osso buco and rack of lamb. Also got a glass of San Simeon Syrah and a glass of Madeleine Cabernet: I preferred the latter, as it was smooth and light, which complemented the red meats very well. The San Simeon was mild, but was too plain for my taste. Crab cakes were delicious, just as I'd remembered them the last time I got them: a light, crispy outer shell and a tender, flaky interior. The chili-lime sauce was more lime than chili (I barely tasted the heat), but it complemented the crab cakes. Pork osso buco was just-okay: it was a bit too dry for me, but I did appreciate the red wine that brought richness to the dish. It wasn't my dish, so I only had a bite-- however, I was informed that the center towards the bone was lukewarm, which was assumed that it'd been frozen, then reheated not long enough, before being served. A bit disappointing, but not terrible. I really enjoyed my rack of lamb: it was seven small pieces, cooked medium-rare, and absolutely perfect. It was everything you wanted in lamb: tender, juicy, meaty, and not overly gamey. The asparagus and polenta were a nice touch, too. A must-have at Indigo Moon. Only got the half portion of the pistachio-crust goat cheese salad this time, but still as flavorful as I'd remembered. Goat cheese was creamy and warm, and the pistachio and herbs made it such a unique taste to savor. The toasted nuts were delicious and added texture, and the grapefruit provided a perky acidity to the baby greens. Definitely recommended if you're vegetarian, or want something a bit lighter for dinner. As if I wasn't already at my stomach's limit, I ordered a key lime pie to round off two hours of feasting and drinking. The pie was bursting with tanginess (as a good key lime pie should be) and the sweet fruitiness brought a refreshing change from the heavy, savory foods I had earlier. My only wish was that I would've loved a bit more crust, but that's just me being picky (I'm a crust gal). Would recommend the key lime pie for dessert! The splurge ($177, including tip) was worth it. While not all of the dishes were perfectly-executed, it was the food quality, the service, and the ambiance that made the night so memorable. If I would recommend the perfect meal (based on what I had that night), it would be the crab cakes for starters, rack of lamb (and/or pistachio-crusted goat cheese salad), and key lime pie-- all paired with the Madeleine Cabernet. I have been coming to Indigo Moon for nearly eight years, and this won't be the last time! read more

We visited Cambria for my birthday and came to Indigo Moon for my birthday dinner. Everything was incredible from the service to the food to the ambiance. Our server was super sweet, friendly and attentive. We had our 6 month old with us and the staff were all accommodating and kind. The food was so delicious. For appetizers we had the fig, olive, and brie crostini, and a garden salad. The crostini was the perfect combination of flavors. For our mains my husband had the filet and I had the rack of lamb. The lamb was perfectly cooked and so delicious. The polenta was especially yummy. My husband loved his filet and was a big fan of the mashed potatoes. The portions were also quite large. We will definitely come back the next time we visit Cambria. read more

Food and service were great. Would have given 5 stars but we were seated in the back of what looked like a converted house, which was very cute but freezing cold. It was hard to enjoy dinner while it was so cold. read more

Ate here this weekend and had a great experience. The staff seemed friendly. I did have to specifically ask for bread service (twice). I had the Rack of Lamb and my wife had the Penne Pasta. Both were very good. Large portions. The lamb was on point. I even at the meat off the bones at the end it was that good. I would try this place again next visit to Cambria. read more

This is my new favorite spot in Cambria. The food is really terrific. This trip I had the risotto which was ample and perfectly balanced and the flat iron steak which was seasoned perfectly. The staff were so incredible. Monique was our waitress and helped us pick a stunningly great wine. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly. The inside is really cute and would be a top pick for a romantic dinner. Wonderful all around. read more

Indigo Moon - Simple salad dressed perfectly - New American Near Me - Cambria, California

we have been coming to Cambria for New Year's last eight years and I still can't explain why it is. We haven't been to this restaurant before. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the portions were bordering on the generous, which was a pleasant surprise. The only thing that shaded the excellent food for first place was the outstanding service given us by Isabella. Firstly, there was none of that awful pressure you get these days when you know restaurants are forcing you to hurry up so they can turn tables as quickly as possible. She was attentive and genuinely tried and succeeded to add something to the whole experience with her personality. read more

We had dinner at the Indigo Moon and I was sadly disappointed. I ordered my steak med. rare. The presentation was sadly undercooked ...raw, and so salty that I only ate a few bites. The fingerlings were also heavily salted, just boiled and thrown on the plate. The broccoli had so much garlic and salt it was barely edible. The waitress offered to get another plate started. By that time my confidence in the kitchen had gone cold. Not sure what's happened to our restaurants in Cambria? The service was fine, the kitchen could use a little more care in preparation and presentation. read more

We had a wonderful meal here. The duck with wild rice was superb! Good portions. Friendly service. read more

First time coming here for dinner, lovely little restaurant with a really cozy feel to it. I think it's an old converted and added on house with lots of charm. There are several dining rooms which is kind of interesting, I like that set up because felt a little more quaint and not as loud as it otherwise could have been. Food selection is really good, steaks, chicken and seafood as well as a vegetarian option. I ordered the quinoa bowl and it was good, but extremely salty. It's a good thing I needed the extra salt, but not sure everyone else will feel the same way. My family ordered the peppercorn steak which was divine! We also had an order of the calamari and a pasta dish that all looked great, mine was a little small I thought compared to everyone else's, especially for just being quinoa and some mushrooms and sweet potato pieces...for the price of mine, I'd expect maybe some greens underneath or maybe tofu, just my opinion. I'd come back though and have that steak for sure, can't go wrong if you like a good filet. Great place overall and the food seemed very fresh and otherwise pretty tasty. read more

Indigo moon My family has been coming to indigo moon for at least 24 years when my parents had their wedding reception here. Their food was unforgettable and every time we drove home I would talk about coming back here. I am 23 and even I can remember vividly after 15 years some of the best dishes I've ever had on their menu! The cheese they had to offer was the best I've ever had and we always took plenty of blocks to go. Plus, Jay has always been so amazing and welcoming to our family. Every time we came to Cambria we ate there 2-3 times at minimum in just a weekend. Times have changed, we may go once in a blue moon just to see if maybe things have turned around in the past few years. I waited 2 years to make this review as I thought maybe it was one or two bad experiences, but it just keeps getting worse. Indigo moon is not worth any of your time or money. Starting out, the hosts have not paid attention to reservations and been mean to us because we don't dress "nice" enough for their standards (which we have never had a problem with previously) When I have reminded them of our reservations, I was met with "oh well, that's not our fault." Next, the servers we have had every time ignore us. I had a server not come over for half an hour when we kept trying to get her attention on a slow night. I went to the host for help and she scoffed at me for asking anything of her and told me that wasn't her job. Third, the food tastes nothing like it used to, and is just bland and oily now. One of our all time favorites was their Mac and cheese. The kids in our family ate it and we took extras for leftovers at our house here for the weekend. It was always a hit but it is almost not edible now. We tried ordering take out to for a while to not deal with the service there and still support the business, but now we just don't eat there almost ever. Save your money and your time. read more

Absolutely the most amazing meal we had while visiting Cambria. The filet was cooked to perfection and the fish and chips was the best we have had. Service was impeccable and ambiance was incredible. Thank you to Dakota, our server for such a perfect night and also thank you to the support staff who were as equally attentive! read more

One of the best meals on our 10 day vacation. Great service and ambiance. Highly recommended.

Had a delightful birthday dinner at this eatery. Our waitress, Bella was one of the best part. I haven't had such kind and enthusiastic customer service in years. She made my birthday for sure. The food was very yummy. Had 2 different salads, scallops, lamb (best polenta ever), scallops and chocolate/coffee tower for dessert. One side comment, the side broccoli was way too garlicy. I am bummed about that but EVERYTHING else was Devine! Thank Bella and staff. read more

We had another great experience In Cambria, Indigo Moon delivers on great service and food. The lobster bisque was deeply flavored but not overly rich -just right. The goat cheese tart a delicious appetizer. We all ordered steak and lamb. Rack was delicious as was the accompanying berry-demi reduction sauce. It was a full rack. Two of us ordered the filet mignon with peppercorn demi. Well executed. The sirloin steak, tender and flavorful. Mashed potatoes excellent. All the portions were on the large side. The service was exceptionally delivered by Stacie. She made the evening! I highly recommend Indigo Moon for its food quality and execution, it's excellent and friendly service - all at a fare that harkens pre-covid days. And that has been the theme here in Cambria over the weekend. Bravo! read more

The food was very enjoyable! It's too bad, the outdoor and indoor dining was closed. But let's get on with the food, shall we? The lobster bisque was so buttery and creamy .... mmm it was so freakin' delicious. It warmed my belly and I was optimistic for what was to come next. The Brie, Olive, & Fig salad (they called it something else on the menu) was WOW-I-can't-believe-this-is-so- good kind of good. I didn't expect it to surprise me. I don't usually like olives, but the fig and the brie just made it edible. The main dishes were not as impressive as the appetizers, but they were tasty too. The fish and chips were alright, nice crisp on the outside, tender inside. The french fries were crispy as they should be, I have no complaints. The Salmon Tacos were alright, but a little disappointing. They marinated the salmon too much that I couldn't taste the salmon flavor, and the shredded cabbage was way. too. much. I like the mangoes a lot, but it wasn't enough to help the dish. Overall that was a pretty good COVID takeout meal. I'd like to try different entrees next time. read more

This was truly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in a long time, and everyone in our party echoed the same sentiment. First of all, they graciously accommodated our group of 25, and the room they provided was charming and spotless. The food was exceptional; everything was served beautifully and we had no complaints whatsoever. Our server was fantastic, always attentive and very kind. We look forward to returning again soon! read more

The only good thing about this place was the service and ambiance. We got free Bread & butter, then as a starter we had their blue crab cakes. Those were pretty good but were too fishy. We got the ribeye steak, rack of lamb, and their salmon. The salmon was way too salty, the steak was overcooked and was not tender at all, and the rack of lamb had no flavor. I would definitely not come here again if you're looking for a delicious dinner, but I would try going here with friends to drink wine since they have a wine selection. read more

Our first time visiting Indigo Moon. We picked this restaurant because they allowed pets in the patio area. Our reservation was at 7:30 pm and it was chilly outside. The restaurant however, has a beautiful covered heated patio and they allowed us to sit there with our pet. Big plus for us. The food was fabulous. My sister and I shared the pear Gorgonzola salad, delicious and definitely recommend it. I ordered the salmon with basil butter, wild rice and broccoli, delicious and highly recommend it. My sister ordered the pork chop and it was equally delicious. Don't miss out on this hidden gem and pets are always welcomed. read more

Ambience is nice. Dog friendly. Food was so-so. I had a vegetable soup that I would not recommend. The pear, Gorgonzola and candied walnuts was average and the walnuts were NOT candied. Service was not good at all. Very slow. Maybe servers were too young? Not sure but could improve on everything from filling water glasses to placing utensils. read more
