We made reservations and when we arrived we were seated immediately. This restaurant has a dining side and a bar side. It seems as though they also cater to large groups, which does make the noise level much louder. As we were leaving music in a back room began blasting.
Our server was attentive. Bread is served to each table.
Dinner was very delicious. I ordered cheese ravioli and asked for 2 meatballs to be added. Meatballs are $3 each and they. are. HUGE!!!
My husband ordered filet mignon with a port reduction sauce. He said that it mostly tastes like beef gravy.
The banana fosters was large and tasty.

Paine’s went above and beyond for my wedding reception at a residential location. They responded promptly and professionally to my emails and all the questions I had. Their two servers, Monica and Natalia were excellent. The food was amazing. Everybody loved the calamari and tri-tip most. I would highly recommend for dining in or catering for any events.

We had a 6:00 reservation for 3. We were able to be seated at about 6:12 p.m. We ordered Coca-Cola to drink and received those quickly. Our waitress came by soon thereafter but we were not quite ready to order our meals because we were talking. She said she would be back, but no one came back for over 20 minutes to take our food order. That was the only glitch. I had the filet mignon. I ordered it medium rare, but it came a slight bit more medium, no blood. The taste was okay, it was wrapped in a nice slice of bacon, but that was really the only other flavor. But it was super tender. Came with garlic mashed potatoes, which were slightly drier than I’m used to. The vegetables were fantastic! Each of my adult children ordered a chicken dish, and they both loved it. Each dish had a different sauce. One was chicken piccata with capers and the other was called Chicken Jerusalem. They both enjoyed it. We had the creme brulee for dessert, also delicious. Overall good experience but next time we’ll be ready with our food order haha. With a 6:00 reservation, we didn’t eat until almost 7:15.

Great place to go when you want something more than a burger or pizza, but not to fancy either. Good service and good food. Decent selection of local wines. The chicken piccata was awesome! The calamari steak was pretty darn good too.

I’d never been here before or heard of it. But it really impressed me. First the service was excellent with remembering our drinks and what we ordered. My father in law said he orders Arnold Palmers and typically servers refill it with ice tea. Not here. They remembered and he was impressed by that. Besides the service, the food was tasty and very fresh. The price was also excellent for the quality of food and service. Also it got very busy as the night went on. I can see why. If I were in town again, I definitely would come here again.

This is a Hollister classic! I’ve been to events where they cater and they’re great! I come here every now & then for lunch and when I do, I keep telling myself I should go more often. Friendly staff and great food!

A bit pricey but good food.
Update 3/4/22: It seems like the quality of the food and the experience hasn’t been as good recently. The prices are still a bit high for the quality of food in my opinion. On this latest visit celebrating our daughter’s college graduation, we ordered a couple of appetizers: the Saganaki and the Breaded Calamari. The Saganaki is really tasty and rich – it is a baked Greek cheese w/butter served flaming at table-side. The Breaded Calamari comes as sticks with dipping sauce and those were pretty tasty as well. My wife ordered the bacon-wrapped pork loin but wasn’t happy with it – she said it was dry and tough. I ordered the cut of New York, but the steak was just ok; I must have received an end cut because the steak had a flap of gristle through the entire steak. For the price of these main courses, we expected better quality food. My son ordered the Bananas Foster as he joined us late. He said it was good. Here’s hoping this latest experience isn’t indicative of the restaurant’s trajectory. We may give it one more try in the future. Again, for the price, the food should be impeccable.
