"Cambria Pines Lodge was a wonderful place to celebrate Mother's Day. The food was excellent. The outdoor seating was beautiful. The music was just right for the occasion. The service was very good. Everyone in our party had a very memorable experience. Thanks"

"The grtounds are beautiful and the organic garden resulted in excellent, fresh salads. Our steaks were flavorful, tender and cooked as ordered. The decor is dated and a bit funky but it didn't distract from the excellent dinner."

"I've been here before. Unfortunately this time, the food wasn't hot or special. The service was friendly but not overly so. The view out the window was lovely though not enough to make up for the high food cost for an average meal. This spot is over priced for the quality."

"My husband and I came here for my birthday because of a travelzoo coupon and we could not have been happier! He got the filet mignon and I got the mustard pork skewers. Both dishes exceeded our expectations in flavor and the amount of food we received. The hotel was nice, but it is the food and great outdoor atmosphere of the restaurant that will bring us back here."

"Not bad, but Cambria is short on decent places to eat,
The steak here is the thing to get, cooked perfectly and tasty,
But if you are staying in the hotel, stay away from the buffet breakfast (the only option) at all costs, it was absolutely diabolical.
If I had a dog I wouldn't feed it to him."

"Both daytime and night managers were very friendly and helpful. The outside garden is very charming and peaceful. The management staff did everything to accommodate our requests. However, our server had to be reminded to review the requests we noted on our reservation with Open Table. The food was so-so. Our steak was tough and the scallops were bland and tasteless. On a good note, the Louie Ortega band was exceptionally kind and their music was phenomenal, a true Grammy winner! We would not hesitate to recommend the Cambria Pines Lodge to our friends."

"This was the first time my husband and I went to the restaurant at the Cambria Pines Lodge and chose it for a special occastion, my birthday. The waiter was very cordial but could have been a bit more attentive. I loved the blackened lamb and my husband was happy with the prime rib. He thought the food could have been a bit hotter when it was served. I received a sweet piece of chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream on the house! We loved looking out at the beautiful gardent area. It will not be our last visit."

"I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was WONDERFUL! I had the filet and my husband had the New York steak. Both were excellent and practically melted in your mouth. Mashed potatoes nicely seasoned and the veggies were steamed and crisp."

"Carlos was an excellent server. We enjoyed our fabulous dinner. We really liked the special sauce served with the calamari steak appetizer. The bread was fantastic; vegetables and steaks cooked perfectly....all very wonderful.
We liked being seated in one of the smaller rooms which made for a cozy atmosphere.
Thank you for being an outstanding restaurant."

"We had a wonderful room. We decided to just enjoy the grounds and walked over for dinner and then around the property. In the morning we ate breakfast outside and then walked in the gardens. We hated to leave. The room was quiet and we liked having the patio to lookout over the trees. And my favorite was to have 2 fireplaces."
