    Sun Up Breakfast (French Toast)
    Jeanette B.

    We had a reservation and were seated on time. It did take a while though for anyone to come and take our order though for drinks. It was on the busier side. We were first just given the breakfast menu which was disappointing because I was craving lunch. I asked one of the waitresses if they served lunch since it was already past 12pm and she said there was a separate menu that we weren't aware of. We did order from the lunch and breakfast menu and had a variety of drinks. The service was great and they kept checking in on us. All the food was really good, nobody had any compla

    Cup of delicious clam chowder

    Our party of six stopped in on 1-4-22 around 8:00, after a bad dinner experience across the street. So wish this would have been our first stop. When we arrived a couple acoustic musicians were playing but they stopped shortly after we arrived. They were good and the music played after was good, too. Great vibe. When you first enter, to the left are tables and a counter and case with parfaits and lunch type food. Straight ahead are more tables and as you keep going, there's a great little bar where they make great cocktails! They also had one of my fave beers, Alvarado Brewing's Mai Tai IPA on tap, yay! Although we weren't very hungry, we couldn't resist the clam chowder and calamari. The clam chowder was delicious. I prefer a thinner broth (thick means they made it with a bunch of flour) like this one. Clams were cooked well, not over cooked and rubbery. Same with the calamari. It's the strip type, nicely breaded with what looked like panko and herbs. Nice and meaty, not over cooked. We also tried the jalapeño poppers which were long, and wrapped with a big strip of bacon. So yummy! The jalapeños were fresh not pickled. I can't recall our server's name but she was EXCELLENT, she came over often, kept track of all of our drinks, chatted with us about the menu, drinks, etc. we loved her. I left my lip gloss at our table and she came out as we were walking down the street. So grateful because that was my favorite lip gloss lol I would love to come back here to try more food.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - business lunch THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located off Main St in between Central Ave and E Gabilan St - cute storefront with seating outside out front and in the back THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - deli/bar feel and seating; industrial look/decor THE MENU: - appetizers - salads - salad combos - soups and quiche - cold sandwiches - hot sandwiches from the grill - sandwiches - burgers - something sweet WHAT I ORDERED: - Chicken Milano Sandwich and Broccoli Salad THE TASTE: - the bread on the sandwich was very fresh and soft, but the chicken was a little thicker and more bland than I anticipated; the flavors overall were there and tasty - loved the broccoli salad - filling but not bloating; didn't need to have dinner that night CUSTOMER SERVICE: - good; prompt

    Solid spot with nice atmosphere and good service. I like their small but focused menu and my sandwich and soup were good.

    What are the vegan options?

    Other than the "field greens" salad and the French fries, there aren't any. I'm vegetarian, and they didn't have enough options for me to find anything on the menu that was worth ordering. I ended up ordering a lemonade.

    Finally made it to The Growers Pub and it did NOT…read moredisappoint! The location is easy to get to, parking is good, the inside is spotless and clean in my eyes . Bathrooms are cute. My boss and coworkers have been raving about this place for the longest time, and I finally decided to come check it out for myself during lunch. Safe to say, I completely understand the hype now and I don't regret it one bit! I ordered the fries with steak bites and they were absolutely delicious. Now here's the thing , I am not a dessert person. I almost never order dessert anywhere I go, but something told me to give the brownie a try, and wow, I am so glad I did. Finger licking good doesn't even begin to cover it. That alone is worth the trip! But what really made the experience stand out was my server, Jasmine A . She was a solid 10 out of 10 incredibly friendly, attentive, and just an overall joy to be served by. I am someone who takes customer service very seriously, and Jasmine is exactly the kind of energy every restaurant needs more of. She genuinely made the whole experience even better. If you're reading this and on the fence about coming don't hesitate. The food is amazing, the service is top tier, and it is absolutely worth every single penny. This won't be my last visit, that's for sure!

    Had the wedge salad and Lobster Ravioli. Bread and butter was complimentary. Good pick for dinner…read moremeetings as it's intimate but also lively enough for some fun over conversation. Server was attentive. Full bar serving wine, beer, and cocktails. Located in old town Salinas -- I was told this spot is one of Salinas' oldest establishments occupying the same building from when it was founded in 1940. Hope they make it to 100 years! Also, my friend said this spot is known for their prime rib. I'll have to make it in one day to try for myself.
