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.

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.

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.
