About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
Built in 1880, The Inn was at one time a brothel, until it was raided by federal officers. The Inn was a favorite site of cowboys and teamsters, who appreciated the fine foods and jovial atmosphere.
Over 100 years later, the Inn at Tres Pinos is now a San Benito County Historical Landmark, carefully restored by owner, Mike Howard. The ambiance is intimate, rustic, and elegant. It’s country with a touch of class, and decorated in a style that is a reflection of Mike’s personal interest. Mike's grandfather taught him the the art of fly-fishing, and every year the family still fishes together at the Big Wood River in Sun Valley, Idaho. Mike married Mary along the Big Wood River in 2010, and the Inn has become a true family affair. Mike’s philosophy is “Keep it fresh and keep it simple.” His staff is personally hand picked and will make every effort to meet your expectations. The Inn at Tres Pinos is the only four-star restaurant in San Benito Country.

    Always like this place, food is off the chart, I had rack pf lamb and my wife had the Mahi Mahi. Both great. Service was great. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. I always hate going to a restaurant and getting bad service and bad food. This one will not disappoint you.

    Our server, Stacey, was the best. She has served us in the past, and consistently treats us as if we were her only customer.

    The Inn at Tres Pinos is an amazing restaurant! The food is delicious, as the chef is creative and most talented. Our server was extremely attentive, as was the rest of the staff. The chef even made a meal for my husband which was not on the menu! The Inn at Tres Pinos is one of our favorite restaurants in the area!

    One of our favorite spots. Love the food. First time my husbands steak was tough but that can happen from time to time. Otherwise wonderful. Sausage app is always delicious, love the house salad and I had salmon on fettuccini. Lemon drop martini is always the bomb

    reso's at 5PM. on a Wed Oct 14. Got seated. Wait staff was working on a table of 6 of soup and salad eaters. Ladies day out. Salads from that table were not good, they sent them back. Yes we had time to watch other table as they were getting taken care of while we waited. Here's the nutshell.... We finally ordered around 5:45, yep... Then we waited, and waited 6:30 wait staff came by to tell us that the sauce was being put on our orders.... waited 6:45 nothing... We walked out. Went to Round Table for pizza.

    The New York steak was super delicious! The Creme Brûlée was also very yummy. The staff came out and sang Happy Birthday for my husband’s special dinner. The service was stellar, rare these days!
