Reviews for Paine's Restaurant in Hollister, CA

Nice upscale restaurant. Food is amazing. Service and atmosphere were on point.

We had an excellent family dinner. The service was superb. The food was good and the menu was priced well. I got a Paine's... steak, rice and perfectly cooked vegetables. Read more

Cute place but food was tasteless and not good. Both my husband and I had flavorless and watered down dishes. We were excited to... try this place, but we won?t be back. Disappointed because Italian is my favorite food. Read more

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'scollege graduation, we ordered a couple of appetizers: the Saganaki and the Breaded Calamari. The Saganaki is really tasty andrich - it is a baked Greek cheese w/butter served flaming at table-side. The Breaded Calamari comes as sticks with dipping sauceand those were pretty tasty as well. My wife ordered the bacon-wrapped pork loin but wasn't happy with it - she said it was dryand 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 aflap of gristle through the entire steak. For the price of these main courses, we expected better quality food. My son orderedthe Bananas Foster as he joined us late. He said it was good. Here's hoping this latest experience isn't indicative of therestaurant's trajectory. We may give it one more try in the future. Again, for the price, the food should be impeccable. Read more

A classy place with great service and delicious food.

We Always Love their Food, & Their Service!! Celebrated Mother Day Dinner, The day Before Mother's Day, it Was Amazing!!

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. Read more

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. Nothere. They remembered and he was impressed by that. Besides the service, the food was tasty and very fresh. The price was alsoexcellent 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 townagain, I definitely would come here again. Read more
