Arrived shortly after 9:15 am and the place was buzzing with locals socializing and enjoying breakfast. For a pleasantly affordable $10 you get (2) medium sized whole wheat pancakes (plain or blueberry) a choice of ham or sausage links, choice of regular scrambled eggs or a "deluxe" mushroom and cheese variation, which I chose the later, and it was delicious. Better quality and more kitchen lovin' than my Sunday "Denny's" breakfast outting and you're helping a good cause! Volunteers young and old pass-by tables with little cups of various fruit juices and refilling hot coffee cup's continually. There's a table where you help yourself to fresh fruit (today bananas, cantaloupe wedges, and oranges). I had breakfast with folks I've met for the first time and ended up chatting about common ground stories of our lives. There's also no-cover live music entertainment while you dine. It happens the last Sunday of the month from 8:00 to 11:00am, and worth the little detour out to Aromas. As long as the economical price remains, maybe a regular thing...

On top of that they played LOUD music all night long. You couldn't hear the person next too you talking. They also had a raffles with various prizes and when she was presenting the baskets and calling the numbers she was SCREAMING everything. Hmm maybe turn down the music while doing this. It started at 7 and we only got through 3 games by 9pm. We left early because we didn't want to be there until midnight and the loudness was unbearable. They had this event at dinner time and only offered minimal desserts: brownies, cookies and 2 small trays of cinnamon rolls, along with coffee, water and wine. One coffee was supposed to be decaf and it looked like weak tea and had no taste. We left there starving. Maybe they should consider making it a pot luck. Doubt we'll be back.

A wonderful way to celebrate Mother's Day!

Our server told us about the free monthly tours which included all three floors of the house and one was this Saturday, today. The tour was great and there was so much information on John Steinbeck and the history of the Salinas area.

Highly recommend and chicken mushroom crepe is hard to beat. Thank you and we can't wait to be back!

Anyways, I reached out multiple times and was very upfront about being queer. I was not answered once. Despite what they say, they don't host same-sex weddings - either that, or their organization skills are abysmal. Very disappointed -- wish I would have heeded another Yelper's warning

*Review based on my impression from the venue tour*…read more First thought : wow, this surrounding view is nice. The drive to get to the venue after passing the gate reminded me of the other wedgewood wedding property I went to earlier in the year - nice houses, golf course, greenery. I can't follow directions and in an attempt to follow the instruction from the email, we went through the wrong entrance (aka side door), so for a few min it felt like we were playing escape room to find the phone that we were supposed to call. However, if you follow the instructions right, you should be able to see the fireplace right when you open the door. It's a nice grand entrance. The interior area is pretty nice, although it does look dated if you look closely. However, I feel like the layout didn't suit the vision of what we want for our wedding day. As for the ceremony area, I personally thought the indoor version looks/feels nicer than the outdoor version. The outdoor one would be easy access from the parking lot though. I loooved the bridal suite/getting ready area. The groom's suite was nice and spacious too, but has locker room vibe with hoops. The person (wedding expert) giving us the tour was very good at selling us the vision, giving detailed info, etc. As opposed to touring the venue first, eagle ridge gave us the run down and "sales/informational pitch" first. The sales pitch is v important for wedding venue shopping, so no negative connotation there. We ended up choosing a different venue: one main reason was the fact that we can't try the food first. We didn't feel comfortable locking in to an all inclusive venue that doesn't allow outside catering. The menu options look good enough, but how does it taste???? It would suck if we end up not liking the food during the tasting and having to settle for a "I guess this is fine because we have no other choice". We were ready to pay to be able to have the chance for trying out the food first. Unfortunately, that was not an option. The other reason was the fact that we don't have much getting ready time. If I remember correctly, you only get to go in the suites 1-2 hrs before start time. The club is only open to the members prior to that. Idk about other brides, but I personally would need a lot more than that if I'm doing makeup and hair there. The timing might be okay if you only plan on changing into your dress there.
