First of all, GORGEOUS view! We arrived as soon as they opened and we were seated right away. We started off with the crab cakes, which were delicious along with a small cup of chowder. The chowder was creamy and flavorful. We thought about eating dinner, although we skipped right to dessert. I did see the entrees come out and the portion sizes are big. It looked like we definitely would have shared a plate. We decided on the brownie with vanilla ice cream and a side of cookies and cream. The vanilla ice cream is homemade and was delicious, not too sweet, perfect with the homemade brownie. The brownie had more bread consistency and not overly sweet. Cookies and cream ice cream was good. Overall, we had a great meal along with a great view. Our server Sharlee was very sweet! I definitely recommend. This restaurant is next to the casino. read more

I haven't stopped thinking about the beef short ribs dish. It was incredible. Kisses to the chef. The only critique I have is I would have liked a Demi glacé or a sauce with it and the vegetables could have been more fresh. But that dosent take away from my 5 star rating. I still ate the whole thing and will be back!! read more

Get a reservation before u go. Half empty and we waited for more than 30 min. Not sure if they were short staffed or it is a way to game the system to make them look good and important read more

Beautiful views, large and accommodating restaurant with a pretty large menu and even larger portions. I was shocked by the amount of food on my plate and it was also delicious. We had a lovely waitress who was attentive and checked in. This would be a great place for a larger group given the amount of space. read more

Edit: gave manager my contact info 2 weeks ago. This is a ploy used to make it seem like businesses care when in reality they don't. 100% will never go back Edit to add we both got sick last night. Hard no. I might go for cocktails but never food again! Still a 3. Waited for an iced tea and glass of wine 25 minutes. William is delightful but the restaurant is understaffed...again. Got drinks and cup of mediocre clam chowder. Tastes like a bland cream of celery soup. No carrots and few clams to be found. I had the 1/2 order of seafood pasta. It's huge but not very Good. It's an Alfredo sauce with garlic, a ton of garlic, too much garlic. Dried Fettuccine, not fresh. 3 shrimp. Maybe a tablespoon of crab (no claw, just shreds) and tons of bay scallops. The parmisean tuile was made ahead so it was cold and chewy. Just don't bother if youre going to do it like that. Partner had ribeye. Cooked right, tasty. He said 7 out of 10. Asparagus was overcooked. "Baked" potato was microwaved. Overall pretty horrible (other than William!) read more

Amazing view of Trinidad harbor. Quiet place, comfortable seating. Fireplace added to the ambiance. Our server was great but can't recall her name. So friendly and pleasant and efficient. I had a half salad and it was huge. Have to say all the portions were huge. We also got drink special and the berry peach Bellini was so tasty. My friend didn't care for his seafood fettuccini. Loads of seafood but he said the sauce lacked flavor and was too thin. The roasted Brussel sprout appetizer was tasty and enough for 4 people to share. Overall a nice dining experience. read more

We are from Illinois, staying in Trinidad for two nights while visiting the parks. We went out at 8 pm on a Sunday, everything in town was closed besides this place. I was skeptical of eating at a casino. Pulling up at night, I was reminded of the tv show Twin Peaks. This restaurant in the back of the casino was awesome. My wife and I sat next to the fireplace and enjoyed the New York strip and snapper. Great service, very nice experience all around. The plates were huge, I'm glad I didn't order everything I wanted. Kudos! read more

This place is ALWAYS good! Great staff and great food! The Views are beautiful, especially if you are blessed to see a sunset.

The restaurant has wonderful ambience, and an excellent view. The service was top-notch! However, I can only give a three star rating because of the food. While the prices are really good, the pan seared snapper was over seasoned, advertise to be served with a wild rice, but was it actually a rice pilaf, and the green beans were mediocre at best. The T-bone steak was good. The calamari was very basic. However, given that the prices were more than fair the portions large the view is impeccable, I would absolutely come again, but with lower expectations. read more

Such a great place to choose for special nights. The food is great and the views are stunning. The service was prompt and courteous. We started with the beet salad, we got the full and split it. It was plenty big to share and bring some home. The flavor of the tangy balsamic with the sweet pecans and salty feta was fantastic. I got the pork loin, my wife the salmon. These servings were generous too and the flavor of each was just what each of us were looking for. The cheesy polenta with pork was amazing. I'm excited to have enough for lunch too. If you like a casino, enjoy your time there. If not, don't skip this place. This place has a side door and the restaurant ambiance includes a fireplace and a wall of windows. We come and go without going through the casino. No smokiness for us. read more

Great menu! Beautiful view! Bread needs updating because it's not like it used to be!

Underrated!! Prices are not expensive either. Affordable for a nice date, family dinner, or gathering. Scenic views and delicious food.

The view was great. However, it should give you pause when a review of a restaurant starts with mentioned the view and not the food. The service was really slow. We sat down probably 10 minutes before another table was seated and they had their meals even before our appetizers. We ordered Crab cakes and Bruschetta for our appetizers.. Awful! The crab cakes were burnt and it was more like bread cakes with a sprinkle of crab mixed in, so bad. The Bruschetta was just as bad.. huge thick slice of stale bread, with melted cheese (out of a bag) and a few tomatoes and a basil leaf on top. The appetizers were really slow to the table and then they served the main course directly after the appetizers, which we were still trying to eat. I had grilled salmon, with risotto and grilled asparagus. The Salmon was fine but the risotto and asparagus were terribly under salted, so I had to add some at the table. My wife had the cioppino, which was really some white wine with chicken broth as a base and a TON of garlic. Now don't get me wrong, I love garlic but when it over powers a dish something is wrong. The clams and shrimp were chewy. My wife asked if I wanted another bite which I said I did not. I'm not sure who manages the quality of the food going out but someone should be ashamed as well as the chef. If you're looking for great quality of food, this is not the place. The one star is for the salmon which was grilled well... If great food is what you're after, this is not your place.. If you're in the area, try Salt Fish House in Arcata... amazing food and great service... read more

Nice wait staff. The ribeye was ordered medium rare and came out closer to well done and was a cheap thin cut of meat. They never offered to exchange it and only took 25% off even though there was only one bite. The side were small and bland. Definitely disappointed for a place with such world class views serving fast food cuisine. read more

Accidental find!! Come hungry and ready to eat. Clam chowder, I don't know if you could find it better in Boston! Great coconut shrimp. But the steak was perfect. Seasoned correctly, cooked a perfect medium rare with a lite char, damn good eating. Service with a smile. Waiter did a great job, bartender made the perfect Manhattan the way I like it. Beautiful view. It's called sunset for a reason. Come and enjoy a great dinner with an amazing view. read more

The Sunset Restaurant - The view! - Seafood Near Me - Trinidad, California

Beautiful setting watching the sunset, service was first rate, prices were reasonable, and the food was tasty with generous portions.

It's decent looking little restaurant, but what on earth? It took forever for our food to come out. The ribeye was tough, overcooked and over seasoned. Meanwhile, the baked potato was undercooked and the clam chowder was so filled with celery that was all you could taste. read more

First of all I have to say, hats off to the Chef! The food was crafted both beautifully and delicious. The food, I am so impressed, I can honestly say I have not had a comparable meal in a very long time. Secondly, the waitstaff was friendly, very attentive, and everything good. THE VIEWS, WOW! Hands down, best views around. The cool thing about this restaurant is you can go in for a casual family dinner or for a romantic sunset ocean view dinner. It's a definite must try! Like I said I'm IMPRESSED! Definite must try dishes: New York Steak Snapper Caprese Seafood pasta Clam chowder read more

Was recently out at the casino for a function, and was looking for some food so I opted to sit at the bar in the restaurant and grab a burger and a beer. The bar in the restaurant is a full bar, with four taps of local breweries and only a couple bottle options, same for the wine a limited selection. Mixed well drinks and call alcohol seem to be the drivers for this bar. The bartender was friendly and professional, she also made sure to check on me regularly as well as everyone else sitting at the bar. The food is where it went downhill. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries, it could have been great but the burger was seriously pressed and over cooked, and as such very dry, as well the bacon way over cooked. Even adding ketchup and mustard didn't help the burger, and at $16 bucks disappointing. The french fries were good, plentiful and the only saving grace of the meal. Average food that is expensive for what you get, over $20 bucks for a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a draft beer, $25 with a tip. Great friendly staff and service, mediocre food. 3 Stars - it served its purpose for that moment but wouldn't go out of my way to do it again. 00607 read more

Inedible food, got the weekday special fish and steak tacos and couldn't even eat them the tortillas were stale and old, the steak was chewy, there was nothing else to them. Also got the steak bites and there were weird seeds all throughout. The only thing actually eaten were the dinner rolls. read more

Wow! Food was fantastic and what a sunset we had last night. But the real winner was the exceptional service we had. The entire staff was awesome. Charliegh was our main server who was just phenomenal! Our large party of 19 was treated fabulous and we couldn't have asked for for a better night out. Thanks to Charliegh and the rest of the staff for giving us a top experience read more

A gorgeous view of Pacific Ocean coastal rock stacks. Delicious food. Thoughtful service. Very nice. Thank you so much

Yes, stunning views. Great ambiance. Friendly waiter. BUT--THREE shrimp come standard in the FULL portion of Seafood Fettuccine...huh?! $28 isn't bad, but THREE?!! (I guess there are 2 in the 1/2 portion...). I complained to the waiter & he said he "fought" the chef to get me more shrimp...2. Seriously?! Did I offend the chef's pride? Can a CASINO restaurant not "afford" 5 shrimp? The clam chowder bowl portion was very generous, but tasted too fishy (yes, we know it has clams in it). We were so glad the sunset was gorgeous, it redeemed the meal a little. Unfortunately, from the last time we were here, the food has gone downhill a bit. read more

How wonderful-- a restaurant where you can eat inside, with tons of space! Our meal was expertly prepared and plated. Truly beautiful. The salmon was perhaps the best I have ever had-- so good I even decided to eat the skin, which I never do. My husband loved his steak. The passion fruit chocolate mousse was delectable and sophisticated. The decor is modern and understated with a huge fireplace, and beautiful art made by local people. Service was excellent. It was also interesting to see the artifacts made by members of the tribe who own the casino. It was a great experience all the way around. We're not gamblers but we'd go back to this casino simply for the restaurant for sure, and next time we'll make it for sunset! read more

My husband and I went to get appetizers and dessert. They seemed to be short staffed and we waited several minutes to be seated even though it was mostly empty. There was no dessert menu and the woman who sat us thought they had brownie à la mode and maybe pineapple upside down cake. We ordered the chicken skewers which were fatty and really soft. I ate one bite. The tempura artichokes were decent but the aioli didn't not pair well with them. We didn't bother trying the brownie. The service wasn't bad. The view is great but I will not be going back and I cannot recommend. Overall a waste of money. read more

The food here was really good and the service (Tim) great and friendly. I'd go for that. However, the music playing on the speakers made us feel like we were in an abandoned shopping mall movie. The lighting is way too dim. The aesthetics of the place need a severe makeover. It just seems really 90's in there. But again, the food was good. I had the ribeye and my wife had the fried shrimp, and both were delicious. read more

Went there for Easter dinner. Had a reservation. Restaurant was semi-full and only one waiter working. Waited 20 minutes for one drink. Food came out in a timely manner but was nothing spectacular. Never got a second round of drinks even though we were there for an hour and a half. Service was terrible. Limited menu with limited options and nothing spectacular was on the menu considering it was Easter! Ambiance was terrible. And most people had uncomfortable stomachs the next day from the food. Unfortunate as this is a nice restaurant and has potential. No apologies were made by staff. Unfortunate. read more

My family and I had a wonderful dinner at the Sunset Restaurant in Trinidad. The view of the sunset/ocean was perfect. All of us loved the food. Some had steak and others had seafood. The vegetables were cooked perfectly too. We found a new favorite restaurant. read more

The food here was not cooked to its fullest potential. I ordered raw oysters and they were filled with sand/dirt, the oysters were not cleaned nor prepped well (See photo below). I also got the coconut prawns, it was over cooked. All I could taste was fried bits and pieces of the coconut flakes. The lobster plate was by far the worst lobster I've had, it was tough and bland. The steak it came with was cooked great, but it could have used more seasoning. The shrimp/scallop pasta was buttery & bland. I would not recommend. However, the waitress was very nice and took the 2 appetizers off our bill since it was such a disappointment. Overall: the service was great! The food was bad. read more

The fact that this restaurant is attached/adjacent to a casino gave me pause, however I needn't have been concerned. The atmosphere and views were wonderful, and the service was fantastic! Most importantly though, the food was beyond excellent! We sampled the steamed mussels; the clam chowder; the roasted beet salad; and the King Salmon with risotto. The presentation of each dish was lovely, and at the right temperature, which was amazing. Truly we had a fabulous meal and a great experience, and we will look forward to dining here again when next we visit Trinidad. Well done Sunset Restaurant! :) read more

The views are unreal and food was phenomenal. Great service as well, Sharlee was a fantastic server. We will definitely be back.

We went here a couple years back and they have definitely redeemed themselves, and I'm guessing it's because of the new chef. The steaks are amazing and great sized for the price. The sampler appetizer is the best if you like coconut shrimp and crab cakes. The clam chowder is a bit watery but there's nice chunks of clam in it. The waitstaff is also friendly and service is fast... the view is one-of-a-kind as well, overlooking the ocean. Overall the food is just as good as many of the other fine dining restaurants for half the price, and without jeopardizing the quality! Will come back again. Update 2/25/19: Came here again for my birthday. We had the crab taquitos for the app., and unfortunately the filling and sauce tasted of warm mayo and too much lemon. What a shame because the crab was fresh. However, the ribeye was huge and cooked perfectly. The veggies had that nice, slight crisp and the baked potato was delicious. Our dessert options were cannolis or cheesecake, which came with a few options for ice cream to go with it. Amazing!! read more

I went here for steak night with a handful of friends. The first thing I noticed was the dining area was empty except for two other people. An empty restaurant is definitely a bad sign, but it is a Thursday night. I have never eaten here before and did not have high expectations. I figure the restaurant draws people in for the view which we showed up too late to see. We ordered, 3 rib eyes, one New York steak, salmon, and an asparagus dish. My rib eye was not properly seasoned but it was cooked to medium rare like I requested. The side consisted of flavorless chopped green beans and french fries that were previously frozen. Overall the consensus of the table was the food was bland and lacked any creativity. Eating here felt like I was eating diner food for twice the price. The ambiance was also odd, there seemed to be too much open space, and the lack of art and music dulled the whole restaurant. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

So glad this place was open for me and a friend's birthday dinner. The service was GREAT! The food was good, and the restaurant eh. I am grateful that they were the only nice restaurant that was open during COVID. I do love that though it's in a casino, it is it's own world, and you don't get any casino vibes. It was nice and quiet. I would love to try this place again during sunset so that we can enjoy the view. read more

Good steaks and good drinks great views good service. Very enjoyable evening. We will be returning!

We had a small family dinner last night and none was pleased with their meal. The bread at the start was so very dry and didn't even taste good. I am not a steak or fish eater and all the chicken options were diced chicken over pasta. How about some sort of roast chicken! Service was not good, long waits between visits. My burger looked like a barbell with the two big ends sticking out and the thin bar in the middle. I had to cut it up and puzzle it together into the bun. Beer selection was poor and then inventory was depleted on a beer at 6:30 PM on Friday!! Take stock and order inventory. The one star is for the view and my drink, which was quite tasty. The reviews seem to be hit or miss so at best they are inconsistent. One more thing: we always check website menus prior to arriving and yours does not match your current menu. Please bring back the ribs! read more
