★★★☆☆ 3.0 LupEO · Feb 2026

Flower pot bread was super good 😊 Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. I called ahead to make reservations. I told the hostess and I thought they would at least give us a treat or something. I know what good salmon tastes like and I should’ve known better than ordering it for my salad topping. The hostess was pushing their salmon specials. My hubby’s fish and rice pilaf was decent. But the prices are outrageous for mediocre dinner. We won’t be going there again or recommending it to any of our house guests or friends. It was a disappointing dinner outing. My sister had dinner there last year and she did tell us it was not worth the prices. Sorry guys but a very happy day was closed out by a bad experience with your food and hostess and not your servers.

Wow, what a great time. Been wanting to go here for years. Definitely not disappointed. Great employees, service and the food was delicious 😋 A first class dining experience. A must visit if you are visiting Cambria. Reservations are recommended.

I would say this place is perfect, for a romantic getaway, but we went with friends and it was just as much fun. A mix of a seafood and steakhouse type of place. I ended up with a pork chop, which I don’t get very often and it fulfilled my needs to say the least. We enjoyed a little bit of the entire menu since we were among friends, but I will definitely be back just be forewarn, is a little warm in there.

Sow's Ear is a top rate dining experience with a warm, cozy vibe, excellent service and an extensive wine list for the wine lovers out there. One of their house specialties is the chicken and dumplings which is truly delicious and the portion is hearty too. Cioppino was their special tonight and my husband and I really enjoyed it. We had a table close to the fireplace which really added to the ambiance. Be sure to share the mud pie for dessert!

The food was INCREDIBLE, the flower pot bread was to die for. Wonderful service and atmosphere!! Our favorite spot so far in Cambria! We had the chowder, Shrimp Scampi Italian style, the fisherman’s stew, and the Filet Mignon (made perfectly to order) all were so wonderful. We will definitely be back!
