Our waitress Jessica was sweet and friendly and quick to get our orders in The food though, that was absolute magic. We ordered the scuna salmon, filet mignon and porkchop- all of them were cooked perfectly, with fresh tasting meats and even fresher vegetables. I ate things I thought I knew I hated, and thought they were delicious. Robins really focuses on environmental friendly farming, and their food tastes straight off the farm. The only thing I would not order again is the lemonade, which means little compared to the food. Go here- get the garlic bread- and enjoy!

Linns is an institution, known for locally sourced produce and their famous pie bakery and their…read morespecialty, Ololliberry Pies. The restaurant is housed in an iconic brick building with an interior that resembles Grandma's charming country cottage. It's popular for tourists and locals alike so be prepared for a wait. Similar to a Southern Cracker-barrel, Linn's has a boutique at the entrance which is on the more curated side with visually indulgent cookbooks and tableware findings. Service is with a polite smile and efficient. I always seem to have a special order and this time I ordered their vegan tomato bisque with half vegetable panini and I subbed a roasted poblano pepper for the eggplant. The combo of the roasted veg and poblano pepper as the feature flavor in a grilled cheese on sourdough was outstanding! My mom treated herself to the Ololliberry pie and house made vanilla bean ice cream. She was in heaven. Hubby had the Tri-tip Sando and sister ordered the beet and goat cheese salad. All the produce and sauces/dressings were fresh and delicious and the portions were generous - not over the top. Linns has a delightful wine selection to accompany your meal and it is a welcoming and homey experience. Will definitely return.

It is a local specialty, and according to travel enthusiasts, this was THE place to go. So I did, and I got the pie with ice cream on top. It was delish. If I do make it back to Cambria, I'll be sure to eat a full meal here. Service was fine. Bicycle stuff on the walls (apparently the people running the place are obsessed with cycling?). Great gift shop and they do sell olallieberry-related goods so you can take 'em home.

Just stopped in on a Friday night and sat at the bar - at first glance it looks like a cluster so…read moreI'll will write the review as things progress. - cute and very busy pub / restaurant - there are only 2 servers and so far they are as attentive as possible for sure, both ladies are hustling with a smile. - We have watched 2 parties of 4 walk out. - We got our drinks right away and only waited a few minutes to get our order in. - While we waited I saw. (2 ) available 4- top tables open, but a party of 6 was told 30 minute wait. They declined and left. - A person came in asking for take out only to be told they were "inundated and not taking take out orders at this time." So far this is a management issue - these ladies were giving and needed 1 more server to keep them caught up- lots of business waking out the door due to poor scheduling- what a shame. One person behind the bar and 2 dining room servers would make this successful. It's too easy. - Food came out in a timely manner. Gary's pasta - 10/10 Clam chowder - 10/10 definitely homemade. My wedge- a little pricey but 8/10 only because the dressing came out clearly of a jar and no blue cheese crumbles. (Little things make a huge difference) - Moscow Marlin drink 10/10 - Another walk out. Lots of empty glasses at the bar. Would we come back? Only with these 2 servers. ( I think we got lucky) Definitely not on a Friday and If it's this much of a mess on a Friday, I can only imagine what a Saturday would look like. Cute place with amazing clam chowder and pasta.

I have to say I was a little bit disappointed this time. I had a Reuben sandwich with onion rings…read more The pastrami was really tough, like you would take a bite, but you couldn't bite through it and so the whole piece of pastrami came out of the sandwich at once. And the onion rings were pretty boring. I don't think they make them there, I am not sure about that, though. But they had kind of a generic look and feel to them, but the problem was they had zero flavor. Like nobody put salt on them when they took them out of the fryer. That's the first thing you do when you pull something out of a fryer, you season it. The server was nice enough, but they have a thing now where if you ask for water, they want to sell you a bottle of water. I get that things are tough for restaurants, but I almost rather pay a little more for the sandwich and get water, if you know what I mean. I'm no food expert, or running a restaurant expert, these are just my reactions as a local who stops in here fairly regularly. I think if the folks who run this place feel like there's any value to my little thoughts, they would be easy to fix and wouldn't cost anything at all really. I've been coming here for years, and I want these folks to do well.

Back in 2020, my wife and I tried to eat here, but fate (and COVID) had other plans…read more Our drinks had just been served, our food hadn't arrived yet, and suddenly local law enforcement walked in and announced everything was shutting down due to COVID. We were politely asked to leave. No fault of the restaurant whatsoever--it was just one of those surreal moments that perfectly captured the beginning of that crazy chapter in history. Fast forward six years... We randomly picked this place for dinner and, as soon as we walked in, we both looked at each other and said, "Wait... haven't we been here before?" Then it hit us. This was that restaurant. Apparently, we had unfinished business. This time, the universe finally let us eat. I ordered the Ortega burger with sweet potato fries, my wife had the patty melt with onion rings, and we took an order of linguini home for later. Every single bite was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the six-year wait. The service was just as impressive. Karina was our waitress, and she was attentive, friendly, charming, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this place. And if you decide to eat here, there's a very good chance you'll get your food much sooner than we did... only six years ahead of schedule.

My husband never got his, apparently, it was delivered to another table. My friend's entree was delivered to the table next to us, and they gave it to her. We had a discussion with the owner and walked out!!!!! I am a local.....trust me.....it not worth going there!

Salmon was cooked perfectly. The steamed veggies slightly overcooked. The pork chop was juicy and very soft. The Brussels sprouts was crispy and good. Overall it was a sumptuous dinner Very satisfying.

I decided on the prime rib dinner, which came with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli & cauliflower. My friend ordered the ravioli. I ordered my prime rib medium, however, what I got was more on the well done side. I should've sent it back. The other thing was that my meal wasn't very warm at all, where my friend's pasta was very hot. The prime rib wasn't the best I've had and it was way overcooked. For dessert, we split the flourless chocolate cake which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. At least the dessert wasn't a disappointment. Service wasn't the most attentive.

We got chicken, rice, and veggies for the kids. I ordered the filet mignon and my husband ordered the duck. He said it was good. Overall I'd say the food is delicious but small portions. And the service is phenomenal.

The bread tasted freshly baked and was served with fresh, house-made butter. The salad and homemade dressing were delicious as well. We especially enjoyed the filet and seafood special. In my experience, parties this large can overwhelm a restaurant, but Madeline's handled our group with calm expertise. The courses were paced perfectly, water glasses were never empty, and drinks and service were always attended to. They also made our champagne toast feel special and perfectly timed as part of the celebration. We were able to relax, celebrate, and enjoy our time together without ever feeling rushed or overlooked. I would definitely recommend Madeline's for your next special occasion or celebration, especially with a larger group.

I've been coming up to Cambria for the past few years with my pup over the 4th of July weekend…read more Always searching for places with a nice outside patio to bring my pup and also that has great eats. Glad I found Indigo Moon. The outdoor patio is quite large and has a nice ambiance for al fresco dining with your pup. I had the Faroe Island Salmon served with broccoli and cauliflower with brown & wild rice. The salmon was one of the best salmons I've had. I usually don't eat the skin, but this skin was crisp and the salmon was cooked perfectly. If you love salmon, this is a must. My friend had a chicken pasta and also loved their main dish. We were too full to have dessert. Next time. Service was nice and attentive. My pup also loved the patio and loved the fresh bowl of water. I'll definitely be back next trip to Cambria.

The host and our server Elin were friendly, helpful and attentive. The food, however, was mostly underwhelming. * Crab Cakes -- Too much filler for me, and not much crab to the taste. The chili lime sauce was not the best looking accompaniment either. Not sure why this appears to be such a popular item. * Salmon Tacos -- Dry rub salmon chunks with chili lime mayo, shredded cabbage, mango salsa and black beans. Salmon was fresh enough, but a bit heavy on the dry rub seasoning. The mango salsa was nice. The side black beans had too much salt and cummin for my taste. * Flat Iron Steak -- It was rather average. Not the most tender or juicy skirt steak. Normally served with mashed potato and veggies, but they allowed us to sub mash potatoes for creamy polenta which was nice. I have to say we were expecting more from Indigo Moon based on the other reviews. Overall, the food was just ok...like a longtime neighborhood cafe you'd like to support, but don't expect super fine dining.

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.
