Reviews for The Larrupin' Cafe in Trinidad, CA
So yummy. Steak was delicious. Ingredients are local and it?s evident in the taste. I had the ny steak with the twice baked... potatoes Ambiance is nice. The scenery with the outdoor seating is exceptional. Read more
Loved the atmosphere and vibe! Randy was an excellent waiter- polite, gave great recommendations, and really sold the food... options well, especially dessert! The food was good, nice portions with a wide variety of flavors. The salmon was a bit dry, butwith the sauce it turned out fine. The meal presentation made the whole meal wonderful and of course dessert to end a wonderfuldining experience. Highly recommend if you are in the Trinidad area and are looking for a different kind of place. Read more
I took my wife here for our anniversary, and it was simply sublime. Lindsey was our server, and was incredibly attentive,... punctual, and helpful with suggestions. We started with the roasted garlic and oysters, had snapper and NY, and reveled in thedecadence of their goat cheese cheesecake. The atmosphere was perfect and the restaurant was wonderfully empty - our table feltlike an island in the clouds overlooking the garden. The price is perfect, and most of the reviewers stating that it is highare simply living above their station. There was only one unenjoyable aspect - we had forgotten to bring bigger stomachs! Ifyou are a person of good taste and good standing, unlike the boorish naysayers, then you will thoroughly enjoy Larrupin'! Read more
We were redirected towards this part of the redwood forest after a blizzard shut down i-5. We had no idea that this... establishment needed a reservation but Courtney the door staff/server was remarkably kind and was able to get us a seat upstairsfor the evening. Lindsey our main server was kind, gracious, engaging and personable. Not once did we feel ushered into a corneror rushed through our dining experience due to our seating circumstances. The atmosphere here is a cozy cottage meetscontemporary art house with a single Chihuly chandelier gracing the central staircase. Turkish style rugs line the tables withglass tops assisting the warm tone, lowly lit space. Fresh Lilly flowers are placed throughout the space lending a delicatefragrance to your experience. The food itself is the best in the woods. For those familiar with Elgacho in Seattle, there is alimited menu but it is fresh, locally sourced, and well prepared by the chef. You won't get a flaming sword with your filetmignon, but this establishment seems to best serve reliable, well known plates with a slight twist of refinement found in theirappetiser board flavors, wine paring, and presentation. If you're hesitant about the price to plating, I assure you, you'llreceive a full plate of food with each course. Arguably there is a time/place for a single leaf lettuce with half a cherrytomato "salad" but this is not the place for that. You'll certainly be full before dessert. And yes, you can take the rest homefor midnight munching. Overall, if you find yourself driving the 101 I highly recommend a little pre planning to enjoy a mealat this establishment. (which I'm told also offers outdoor seating in warmer months if you're worried about Covid). We willcertainly stop by again. Read more
We ate here in July and had a great experience, started a bit rough standing in the entryway looking for a host for 5 minute. It... was busy so forgivable and the food was excellent which always makes up for other inadequacies. Crab cakes were really good andour dinners were damn good. One of the better eating experiences we had in the area. Read more
Michelle said her steak was the she has ever had. I loved my filet and prawns with asparagus. The dessert, a creamy thing with... raspberry drizzle whose name escapes me, was amazing. The best jazz plays in this elegant venue. You would have a hard timefinding a better dinner anywhere. Staff were very nice also, and it was reasonably priced. We will go every time we are in theRedwood belt up north. Read more
Legendary destination restaurant! For as many times as I?ve been in Humboldt County, I wish I could have dined here as much.... Not the case, but when I do it has always been exceptional. The ambiance, the food, and the service have always been anexperience. Every community deserves a place like this to call their own. My lamb chops were done perfectly as everythingserved with them was delicious. The bonus was having Cypress Grove Cheese served with the welcome platter. ???? Read more
Intimate cozy upscale and comfortable restaurant with Great Local and In house specialties. I was pleased with the... vegan/vegetarian options and the Tofu Kebabs are huge and yummy. Great appetizers and local seafood. The oysters are a greatoption for those who eat seafood and the Waitstaff was very nice and well informed about the menu. She was just wonderful! Theseating was great as well and we had a great table tucked away upstairs. It is a bit expensive but perfect for Special occasionsor indulgence! Read more
