    Chicken Soup
    Ron O.

    Food was lovely. Fresh ingredients, and a bit of a spin on the the traditional flavors. Features lots of fresh and organic ingredients. * Chicken Soup -- Nice, home made taste. Organic chicken, fresh veggies. * Caesar Salad -- Very good. Fresh, crisp romaine, lemony dressing, grated Parmesan, perfect crostini. * Chicken Parmesan -- Nice hearty dish. Organic chicken, perfectly crisp exterior, tender juicy inside, melty cheese. Pasta with choice of sauces -- puttanesca recommended by our server Scott was excellent. Marinara base, good heat, capers for tang. Fresh mixed veggies on the side. * Rolioli -- Basically a giant ravioli filled with ricotta-pesto cheese. Choose your sauce. To be different with this dish, we tried the butternut squash sauce which was delightful. Buttery and creamy. Features a selection of organic Italian wines and beer. Smallish dining room, and a few outdoor pet friendly tables (but only one with a real heater). Scott our server was friendly and awesome with his recommendations.

    Lasagna (Small portions and bland)

    Just got into Cambria after a long day of driving and decided to order take out from here. BIG MISTAKE. We ordered the lasagna which was bland as ever. And their rolioli which was not only bland but like a strange overcooked, hard rolled pasta thing? The thing was so hard it was almost inedible. We also got the garlic bread which was very small but okay. Our total for the three items was around $72 so I was expecting a generous portion. WRONG. There was barely any food!! And because the rolioli was hard and practically inedible, we had to get a second dinner. Waste of money. Don't recommend.

    It was late when we arrived in Cambria, so I'm not even sure if outdoor dining was closed or not allowed. We walked in, smelled the wonderful aroma from the kitchen, and decided to order dinner here. The food was extraordinary! But, let me say first to get it out of the way that the Focaccia bread was more like pita bread. The lady who took our order made it sound so good, and it smelled so good in the restaurant that we agreed to add it with our order. What a bummer! However, it was nice and warm, so I still ate some of the bread. It was okay, it just wasn't what we expected. Damn it, my expectations were high since I walked into the restaurant and smelled the delicious aroma! The Beet Salad, which I freakin' accidentally deleted my pic of it, was amazingly tasty. I shouldn't be surprised since beets are naturally sweet. But with the feta and housemade vinaigrette, the salad aroused my palette. The breaded Eggplant Parmesan was still hot when we got to our hotel. It comforting and delightful at the same time with fontina and Parmesan as well the slightly sweet marinara sauce over the pasta. Overall we had an excellent meal on our first night in Cambria. Woo hoo! More food adventures coming up in this seaside village!

I've done some comparison shopping in recent weeks, and the cafe wins every time. One place in town prepares "country potatoes" as large cubes of potato with no seasoning. Cambria Cafe cooks prepare them as small cubes, seasoned and fried exactly as I like (I can't define the spice combination, but I like it). My scrambled eggs are never dry or runny, and hash browns invariably have just the right crisp texture. They also serve really good coffee, something which most restaurants can't seem to manage. This morning I tried their chicken-fried steak for the first time, and it was as good as my wife's, which is saying something. The ambiance is what I'd expect from a small local cafe, comfortable, but not extraordinary. I'll continue to patronize "my" cafe as long as they'll have me.
