Robin's Restaurant is an absolute gem, and we were lucky to have Noah as our server--he truly made the experience even better. We started with the Salmon Bisque, which was out of this world! Creamy, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. For sides, the fries were a simple yet delicious addition. The highlight was the short rib, which was tender, rich, and paired perfectly with both beverages we chose. My wife opted for a Cabernet Sauvignon (any Cab is a great match for short rib!), and I had the Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, which was an excellent complement to the dish as well. For dessert, we couldn't resist trying both the Sundae--featuring salted caramel chocolate chip (amazing!)--and the Trio, which was a fantastic ending to a perfect meal. The ambiance at Robin's is just as impressive as the food. Whether you're seated on the outdoor patio with heat lamps and lights or enjoying the cozy indoor seating, the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

This is a return visit. This time we both had the beef short rib over mashed. Absolutely, mouth watering. We added Fresh garlic toast. A superior place to dine in Cambria. Make a reservation.

Outstanding in all the important ways. We were there for a girls brunch/birthday celebration and the experience was memorable. First time dining in the garden and loved it! Wonderful wine list. Enjoyed Cava splits before our lunch arrived. Everyone enjoyed their menu selections. Ambiance among the beautiful plants in the garden, enjoying alfresco dining was the best. And, we had an awesome server who took very good care of us. Just delightful!

We can into town on Monday with plans for Hearst Castle on Monday night and Cambria Christmas Market on Wednesday night. We had such a great lunch on Monday (she had the vegetable quiche, I had the chicken club), we came back on Tuesday for dinner (she had the salmon bisque, I had the braised short ribs). The food was incredible both times and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend this awesome restaurant!

We ate here yesterday ( Saturday 10/26). We originally tried to eat at Linn's first but they weren't serving dinner yet so we decided to try here. We sat outside and the garden was beautiful. The table and chairs were not the most comfortable and tables are a bit close together. Staff- our waitress was exceptional (Tiara) and there were 2 other workers who were actively refilling water and clearing plates Food and drink were incredibly flavorful. I loved my pumpkin spice cider (alcoholic). The Thai green curry was delicious, but a small serving. My wife's noodles with prawns was pretty good. We ended with a wonderful piece of carrot cake. Prices are definitely too high.

Why can't ALL restaurants be like THIS place? Is it really that difficult to make food look beautiful and taste even better than it looks? Well, obviously, we all search the world for stellar meals, but ROBIN'S RESTAURANT was truly out of this world !! Everything we ate, we absolutely loved... and... they even allowed us to bring our little dog. Robin's has a beautiful and large covered patio with lots of pretty flowers and foliage amid the well-spaced seating, which is where we sat with our little pooch. I was super impressed with how pretty and lush the patio is. They even have an outdoor bathroom for patio guests if one is too lazy to go inside. (I was equally impressed with that.) On to the food, though... We each ordered an appetizer... Burrata and Arugula salad - stone fruit (peaches drizzled with balsamic reduction), cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, manchego cheese, basil vinaigrette, sourdough croutons. Amazing Chicken Satay - served with peanut sauce, and spicy pickled cucumber salad. The peanut sauce was more diced peanuts with a minute amount of liquid. Not really a sauce... more like a topping. Great flavor, though. Robin's Salmon Bisque - the winner of appetizers. Flavor abounding. Outstanding For our entrees, we ordered... Northern Indian Lamb Burrito - spiced lamb curry, basmati rice, potato, spinach, tomatoes, yogurt, pineapple chutney, and mint chutney in a spinach wrap. More sweet than savory... great flavors, but I wouldn't have wanted to have so much sweetness for a lunch entree. Grilled Chicken Club - chicken, roasted Anaheim chili, avocado, tomato, lettuce, sambal aioli, on ciabatta bun with French fries. Slightly spicy, but really good flavors. Salmon BLT - salmon with bacon, pickled red onions, tomatoes, lettuce, caper-herb aioli on a ciabatta bun with fries. And for dessert, we tried.... Chocolate Chip Mousse Cake - oreo cookie crust, mango coulis, whipped cream. Very decadent and rich. Stone Fruit (Peach) Crisp - served warm with vanilla ice cream. Great buttery, cinnamon-y crisp topping. This restaurant is VERY popular and with good reason. Obviously, I recommend dining here... for MANY reasons, but if I could make one helpful suggestion, I recommend that you MAKE A RESERVATION !!!!!!! We saw so many people waiting to get in, and waiting a long time at that. Just make a reservation, and you could avoid the waiting. I was able to make a reservation the day before we went... on a busy holiday weekend.

Top line: food is fresh, delicious and unpretentious. Staff is friendly and accommodating. We came for dinner after a bad experience at Brydge and were so grateful for a good meal. We came back the next day for brunch on the way out of town. The restaurant was busy but high functioning. The menu had a decent variety and everything we ordered was good. The servers were helpful when navigating gluten free requests on the menu. The food was high quality and decently priced for the location. The dining room is beautiful and cozy. This place will be a staple any time we are back in Cambria.

Cozy little family owned restaurant in the heart of quaint Cambria! Their menu is surprisingly unique, all the food I tried was fantastic, staff friendly and attentive, and the vibe is so fun - I felt like I was eating in a chic tree house! For starters my server recommended I try their famous salmon bisque - how could I resist?? It was so comforting and savory with generous chunks of salmon filling the creamy broth - I can see why it's a crowd favorite - I'd definitely get this again. But the star for me was the Short Rib Bulgogi Rice Bowl - I was intrigued by the menu description when it said "forbidden rice". I'm a somewhat adventurous eater so I just had to try that haha - and it was utterly divine!! The pieces of short rib were so tender and flavorful - and the forbidden rice was such an interesting accompaniment. It's a black rice with a complex flavor and I loved it. Highly recommend! Prices are a tad high but on par with other restaurants in the area and the quality is there for sure. The staff are lovely - I had a great experience and will definitely return on my next visit! They have indoor seating as well as a nice patio. Parking is all street parking in the town but it's very walkable and fun.
