   One of the best meals I’ve ever had. My friend and I were in town hiking pinnacles for the weekend from San Mateo. First of all, our server was Julie, and she was so sweet and attentive! We felt like we were visiting someone’s home. We ordered the “famous” calamari, and it was SO GOOD. My friend had tortilla soup and I had a Caesar salad for starters, and both were fresh and delicious. Then, she had the skirt steak, and me the chicken genovese. OMG. We were actually upset that we didn’t have more room for another round of calamari or dessert! All in all, if we lived closer, we would be back often. For now, we’ll just work on planning our next trip back!!

   We received a gift certificate and this was our first time there… Our waiter was super nice and very attentive.. we were seated in the street side area of the restaurant so it was a bit loud but not unbearable. our cocktails were excellent. And the food was excellent. I didn’t want the topping they offered on the mahi-mahi special so they were willing to change all of it for me which was really nice and it was by far the best meal I’ve ever had. Delicious.!!! a bit pricey. But also great quality. We will definitely go back.

   Excellent menu + daily specials. We've been dining at the Inn at Tres Pinos for decades, always delicious, quality food with right-sized portions. Extensive wine list. We try to reserve the wine room whenever possible- nice, cozy somewhat private room for 6 people max. The outdoor area is great during warm weather. Great cocktails, too. Highly recommend!!

   The food was excellent and our waitress was warm, knowledgeable and she didn't miss a thing! The wine room was so welcoming and charming. We can't wait to go back.🩷

   Incredible, as always. Celebrated Valentine's with cocktails, prime rib, dessert. Everything was on point. Service was great, food was fantastic, and the Inn has an excellent ambiance. This is our favorite place to go for birthdays and events, and it doesn't miss

   Been coming to the Inn for over 20 years and still doe not disappoint. Some menu items are still there from back then meaning they have really perfected them.

   Our service was impeccable as usual. But the food quality was off from our prior visits. My wife’s sea bass special was dry and lackluster. My favorite & usual dish - melt in your mouth rack of lamb was tough & chewy. I don’t know what happened - new vendor or just a bad cut of meat. Kind of dissapointed.

   I visited The Inn for a special occasion, but the service was extremely slow—we waited nearly two hours for food while others who ordered the same dishes were served first. The manager was dismissive, and their attempt to ‘comp’ drinks didn’t even cover the cost. Disappointing experience.

    As outstanding as the food was, the service was equally as terrible. This was the second time in a row, the service was sub-standard. We were immediately seated, offered a libation, and presented with menus. The appetizer and soup/salad were served with no problem at all. We waited almost half an hour for our entree, while customers that came in after us had appetizers, soup/salad, and their entrees and left. We were informed twice that our dinner was being plated. Almost ten minutes passed before Kyle brought us our food, not Thomas our waiter. The food was outstanding as usual. After our meal we were asked if we wished to see the dessert menu, which was delivered within five minutes. While we waited for our waiter to come back, we decided on two cordials, and New York Style Cheesecake. Unfortunately Thomas didn't come back for almost 20 minutes. By then we had been in the restaurant for over two hours and just wanted to leave. As previously mentioned, twice now, the food was outstanding, but the service, politely, SUCKED.

    Mr. Flickinger, Thank you for taking my call this afternoon. We are addressing this internally as this is not the standards our staff and kitchen strive to uphold.
