Went for one of their wine tasting events. Three wineries poured – all were great. The service was top notch and owner even gave guests a tour of the Inn. Last but certainly not least, the food was amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but everything we ordered was executed perfectly. I can’t wait to go back. Short ribs and creamy polenta, chicken Milanese with potatoes gratin and a delicious fennel / endive salad. Dreaming about it now. Great piece of CA history well preserved by a gracious group of people. I can’t recommend enough.

Talk about a hidden gem! From top to bottom, this place is amazing.
My wife and I were camping in the area and decided to go to brunch here. In the middle of a small town that time forgot shines this beacon of hope. The building and grounds are very well kept and are simply inviting. From the moment we walked in the door we knew we had found something special. The decor was a history lesson and very nice… more on that later.
The staff was so friendly and treated us like family. Such a warm atmosphere!
The food… OMG the food! The chef is a truly talented individual. I am a foodie and I get down in the kitchen. My wife and I dine at the finest restaurants wherever we go. Our pallets are refined and our expectations high. Every bite of each dish we tried was an experience in culinary creativity. From our first bite, we knew we had to come back for dinner that night, and return we did for an equally enjoyable dining experience.
At the end of brunch, one of the owners offered to take us on a tour of this beautiful inn. Of course, we accepted and got a free history lesson about the property and the town. The furnishings in each room were curated by the owners and are a testament to authenticity and good taste. There were even hand painted wall murals done by local artists.
When we returned for dinner we got to meet the other owner, the manager, and the chef. They were all so genuinely kind and accommodating.
Whenever we find ourselves even kind of close, we will return. Next time with gifts from our bakery.
Excellent job! Keep up the good work.

What a lovely place! The inn is beautiful and has a lot of history. The restaurant is amazing, I had the shrimp and grits chef special; best grits I’ve had in my life. The fresh squeezed orange juice was divine as well. The owners are very kind people who seem to have a lot of love for this place and the history. Shoutout to the general manager, Rick, and servers, Maria and Anna! They took great care of me, and really make you feel at home. I would absolutely recommend for wedding parties. It’s like walking through a portal to another time. Can’t wait to come back and try something else!

Rick and staff were friendly and accommodating when we popped in for brunch. I don’t drink coffee and they don’t serve chai there, but Rick called over to Corazon and had one delivered to our table. I appreciate the above and beyond service. I grew up in Piru and am glad there is now a cozy place to enjoy a meal with family when I visit from Montana.

What can I say about this place?!?! The most hospitable staff and owners. The food is so so good and the bread pudding?!?!? We’d go back just for that any day. The band that was playing that day was awesome. We loved it so much, we’re planning on going back soon and telling our friends and family about this little gem, located in such a beautiful little town. 5 stars all around.

Awesome historic venue with high quality fare at reasonable prices and good size portions. Highly recommend. Mimosas use fresh squeezed local juice and were very tasty.
