    Cheeseburger & Fries
    Chipper C.

    Was meeting up with some long time friends in Cambria and we decided to go to Robin's. We made a reservation online and arrived a bit early. They had a garden table for us, even though the reservation system said none were available. What a peaceful setting. The tables were spaced appropriately so that the guests could still have meaningful conversations without having to worry about being overheard. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and boy was I happy. The fries were amazing, wish there had been more since I had to pace myself while I ate my burger!! My friends enjoyed their meals, as well. The server refilled our waters in a timely manner, which is always appreciated. I will definitely come here again!!

    The place is soo cute. Indoor and outdoor seating. The garden is beautiful. The service was so nice. And the food was delicious. I got the Thai chicken curry and it was very flavorful. My husband got the lamb one and that was really really flavorful. Delicious stuff can't wait to go back

    Salmon

    This was within walking distance of where we were staying so we decided to check it out. It's open air and there's greenery everywhere which was very nice, and as the evening became cooler they turned on their outdoor gas heaters which was much appreciated. We ordered the Salmon, the chicken, and the lamb curry. Each one of these dishes were absolutely delicious, they came out hot and in a timely manner. I was particularly impressed with the lamb curry because I was expecting it to be watered down, but it was not. It didn't have as much heat as my Dad's, but it tasted authentic. It took a ridiculously long time for anyone to approach our table once we were seated. Usually if servers are super busy or they get double seated or something, one of the managers will help them out by coming over and telling us someone's on their way, or they might get our drink order started, they do something to help mitigate the absence of acknowledgment from the server, but that did not happen. I observed the comings and going's of all the staff (managers, servers, bussers) that were passing us by and every single one of them averted their eyes. This is not what I expected from a place like this, and every moment that passed made the experience even more off putting. Just as I was deciding to get up and leave the restaurant, because it seemed like we were invisible, our server showed up. Just in time. From there forward we received short but adequate service.

    Salt Roasted Beets + side of fries
    Jana H.

    Food was 5/5, service 4/5. So overall 4.5/5. Robin's is a great place with healthier, fresh, and unique menu items with an ambience to match the menu. Sitting out in the garden feels lovely and like you are tucked away (and the space heaters do their job). There were a lot of tasty sounding menu items and easily shared the salted beets and Thai green chicken. Both had wonderful flavor and were delicious; we were super happy with our order and would absolutely order those items again. Our server was not super attentive and did not come in to check on us during the meal. I would definitely go again when in Cambria and would recommend to others!

    This restaurant is tucked away on a side street off Main Street. The decor in the inside and outside is lovely. I went by myself for lunch. I was slightly annoyed that they escorted several people to their tables before me even though I was there first. But once I was seated the awesome wait staff made up for it. The salmon bowl was very good. Everything tasted very fresh. I recommend this restaurant.

    We were so nervous about the wait but they fit us in very quickly. We ordered a side of baba ganoush...we could have drank it. Insane. I got the green chicken and it was superb. It was also so cute and romantic inside. The garden is also gorgeous. You can tell that whoever owns it cares very much about it.

    Closer to a 4.5 stars. Loved it. Wonderful ambience, Service was perfect and the amazing stuffed Plablano was out of this world. Great comforting place to have a nice evening!

    We were here in March a few years ago and liked it so much we decided to come again during our December visit. The place is even more charming during the holidays with the Christmas decorations and lights adorning the warm wood interior. The restaurant is housed in a cozy historic home built in 1935, and that vibes still lingers in the dining rooms and garden setting. We felt like we were dining in a piece of the town's story. The food reflects the culture of the central coast. Well executed, simple but with a global influence, comforting and fresh. On this visit, highlights included the filet mignon, cooked to a perfect medium rare and plated over mashed potatoes with a velvety demi glace sauce and mushrooms. The baby back ribs, which were tender with a wonderful savory glaze. The autumn salad was fresh with seasonal apples, squash, pomegranate, and feta mingling nicely together. For dessert we shared the pumpkin cheesecake which creamy not overly sweet and a graham crust that crumbled nicely together to the chew. We'll definitely come back on our next visit to beautiful Cambria. Happy Eating!

    Beef Short Rib Bulgogi Rice Bowl
    Francie M.

    One of the two must go food spots in Cambria IMO (besides hidden kitchen of course). I will caveat that Robin's international cuisine has a California fusion interpretation - a beef bulgogi here will not be the same as a Korean restaraunt in the Bay Area, but all of their food is well executed and absolutely delicious (from someone with snobby food taste buds). It's been a while since I visited so I was excited to try their refreshed lunch menu. I ordered the beef bulgogi bowl, which came with hearty black rice, tender & juicy beef, and pickled cabbage and other vegetable toppings. It hit the spot! My aunt reported the ahi tuna poke bowl was delicious as well. Logistics: - Indoor seating, covered heated patio seating, and gorgeous outdoor garden seating - Street parking in front or public free lot around the corner - Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options available

    I was in town for the holiday market and this restaurant is conveniently located next to the shuttle pick up area. The restaurant is super cute! Despite the cold, we brave the outside patio since the heaters kept us nice and warm. We enjoyed a quick dinner for 3. We got the short rib, filet mignon, and meze platter. We really enjoyed all 3 items. Great fresh flavor for the price point. Service was friendly and loved that they accommodated to our request to place our order quickly to get to the holiday lights event.

    Robin's Salmon Bisque
    P B.

    Robin's is always fantastic! The salmon bisque is absolutely decadently delicious with a creamy pink soup and lots of large chunks of salmon. The salmon blt was fantastic. The salmon tender and flavorful, with fresh lettuce, tomato, and crispy bacon. The sangria was refreshing and perfectly spiced. Great lunch! We will be back again and again.

    Cheesecake (to go)
    Tee T.

    I was traveling through and saw gluten free options at Robins. I called in the evening and was able to make a reservation for just 30 mins later. The employee who answered was super kind and helpful in answering my questions. when I arrived, I enjoyed looking at the amazing garden outside with gorgeous flowers and plants. I was seated rather quickly despite the rush, and immediately noticed the live tree vines snaking through the open air restaurant. I ordered the garlic truffle fries and the pork chop and while my server was kind, he seemed a little overwhelmed and slow to respond for requests. I had to ask another employee for water and it took my server quite a while to get my food out. When my food came out, it was delicious and so gorgeous. I ordered a gluten free cheesecake to go and it was beautiful and delicious later as well. I loved walking through the patio seating area to admire the gardens again, and I enjoyed my leftovers the next day- they were just as good. Highly recommend!

    Fillet mignon
    Robert S.

    Filet mignon was very good as it should be. Tom Yum Talay was great. Loaded either seafood, great broth full of flavor. Only wish there was a little more soup/broth but again full of great flavors which paired well with each other. Calamari was decent as was the pear, date sticky toffee pudding. Service was spot on, the ladies were very attentive but not overly so. Would order main dishes again but would try diff appetizer and desert next time

    Ask the Community - Robins Restaurant

    Do they have a full bar?

    They absolutely do NOT have a full bar. Beer and wine only.

    Are there any vegetarian or vegan entrees or sides?

    Many! This is a great spot for vegans and vegetarians. I very much recommend the Robin's Chow, and the spring rolls.

    Are you dog friendly?

    If you sit outside you can bring your dog tables are kind of close together so if it's crowded a small dog would be better

    Is Robin's dog friendly?

    Yes, we are. We have a lovely garden seating area. However, when we have a private event in our garen there will not be seating for pets so best to check if you are coming on the weekend. Mostly the events are Friday night & saturday.

    What is the corkage fee at Robin's?

    $20

    What is the name of the cookbook that they sell's at front desk? ($30) do you have a photo of the cover?

The service was not very efficient with the crowd. The barista asked many questions (decaf or regular, oat milk, whole milk, 2%, almond milk, which coffee bean, etc.), which made the line move very slowly. She also had to stop taking orders halfway to make drinks, making the long line to get even longer. There wasn't enough seating, so we decided to take our food to go. They can't help warm up our pastries and directed us to use the microwave and toaster oven ourselves. For the price of the pastries I paid, I expected better service rather than DIY. When the coffee was ready, they did call names but the place was so crowded, we all had to wait outside of the cafe. So many of customers had to come in and out several times to check on their orders. The coffee was also extremely hot and not drinkable right away. Overall slow service, crowded environment, messy flow. I wouldn't come back.

On our visit for breakfast on a Tuesday/Wednesday around 8:30 service was a little slow to get our order in. The food came out at a moderate, but not fast pace. We got a mimosa, classic eggs Benedict with hash browns and fruit. The eggs Benedict was a bit runny, the muffin was not too tough and not too soaked, the amount of ham was a bit light on one of the two, and the sauce had a good flavor. The mimosa was about standard. The menu has a good selection with a number of other items to choose from. We would come back here, but it is just ok and not stellar. For example, Broken Yolk consistently makes a better eggs Benedict than RC does. Overall, we would recommend giving them a try if in town. You will get a good, but not a stellar meal here.
