Trout Farm Inn

Always love the Trout Farm for breakfast after our saturday walk with the walking group. This time three of us ordered California omelets. One friend can't have gluten and they offered to sub out her toast for gluten free. Another friend ordered the breakfast burrito and another one went with the french toast. What sets this place apart, as far as breakfast places in the Santa Cruz Mountains, is their excellent presentation - food is plated artfully. Drinks, as well. Even your coffee feels special. They serve a rich, dark coffee with you're own ceramic creamer. It just feels elevated. Sit on the patio, if you can. They have a lovely awning to keep the sun off of you and you'll overlook a small pond/stream and lovely trees. Very picturesque - and dog friendly. One thing we are all sad a

Oh, the Trout Farm was lovely, with trees up above, A place full of charm that you just want to love. The outside was peaceful, the view was a win, I walked in with hope and a big hungry grin. The food? It was great — I’ll give them their due. Each bite hit the mark, and the drinks did too. But the inside? Oh no… it just missed the mark, Like a lunchroom that never quite found its spark. It felt kind of cold, a bit thrown together, Not cozy, not warm — more cafeteria than clever. A makeover’s needed, or a new set of eyes, To match all the beauty that sits right outside. Now the service — oh boy. It was slow, slow, slow. So slow, in fact, that time seemed to go. Our waiter was kind, but clearly quite new, And every review said the same thing too. You’ll wait for your food, you’ll wait f

Enjoyed the lovely patio overlooking the creek after waiting just a short while for a table. We enjoyed waiting at the bar while a Giants game was on tv. The bartender was friendly and made a couple great drinks. Seated above the creek is completely separate from the pool area. We would love sitting inside near fireplace in the winter! Our server was friendly, kept waters filled. Food came quickly and tasted great. This is a hidden gem of a spot and we felt like we were very far from home - and we live 10 min away.

Back of house here is amazing! Food was awesome and would highly recommend the Classic Eggs Benedict! Front of the house service is slow and almost non-existent. Feels like the servers don’t even want to be here. Took forever to get service while they were obviously standing around the server station waiting to be directed to help our table.

Yoga 10am Sundays by the pool is such a great escape.. Happy hours 3-5 I hear by the pool are available! But now it's a Pitstop before getting back to the grind. The prosciutto sandwich is so good!
