I love review sites. Yelp and Trip Advisor...I can spend many hours searching and roaming on these sites contemplating where my next destination will be. I especially enjoy the photo gallery on these sites though some people take photos of the oddest things! You know what they say...a picture is worth a thousand words! Though I do look at the reviews and star ratings, I don't rely solely on these 2 items. You never know why it was an off day for the hotel or restaurant. The hotel receptionist may have had a really bad day or the restaurant was in the works to get a remodel the very next day. Though I must say, using wise judgement, if a hotel/restaurant has 1-2 stars, it is worth reconsidering. Now with a dog, I really wanted to find a good dog travel review site. I searched the web and came across BringFido.com. Being a top … [Read more...]
Dog Friendly Travel – Cambria, CA Restaurant #5 – Red Wood Cafe
Our last meal in Cambria was breakfast as we headed home. We found a diner that was in a shopping center. It had indoor seating as well as outdoor. This place is very popular and the prices are great so go early if you want to get a seat! Spot #5 - Red Wood Cafe (2094 Main Street, Cambria, CA 93428) What a great find! Parking is great for the Red Wood cafe and though you may have to wait a bit to get seating, it is well worth the wait. The prices are great and the food came out so fast! My husband loves breakfast so this place was perfect! I on the other hand am not a big eater in the morning but I love my potatoes. The staff was so friendly and brought out a water bowl for Muffin and even some biscuits! She's not a fan of biscuits but still...how considerate! Definitely would go back. … [Read more...]
Dog Friendly Travel – Cambria, CA – Dessert #1 Linn’s Restaurant
A trip wouldn't be complete without a few indulgences along the way. I was told that in Cambria, you can get olillieberry pies. Ola la what? Pronounced oh-la-leh berry is a part of the blackberry family. I had never in my life heard of this fruit! I just had to have a slice so we found a bakery much like Cocos that was a family diner/bakery. Unfortunately though this restaurant is showcased on my blog, it is not dog friendly and does not have an outdoor patio. Sorry! Dessert Spot #1 - Linn's Restaurant (2277 Main Street, Cambria, CA 93428) We went pretty late to pick up my slice of pie but it was crazy busy! Downtown Cambria, at a certian time of night gets really dark and really quiet but not this place. I had to stand in line to get my pie but I was determined. The inside of the restaurant was really nice but those that … [Read more...]
Dog Friendly Travel – Cambria, CA Restaurant #4 – Wild Ginger
We decided to venture out of downtown area one night and found a Thai restaurant, still on Main Street, that had an outdoor patio area and allowed dogs. Spot #4 - Wild Ginger (2380 Main Street, Cambria, CA 93428) Wild Ginger is a Asian fusion restaurant that specializes in Thai dishes. The indoor eating area is small so if you decide to sit inside, make sure you go early. There is plenty of parking nearby. The outdoor patio had heat lamps and isn't that large but perfect if it's not crowded. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! If you eat outside, just a heads up...your food can get cold fast. The dishes were very good and you can tell that fresh ingredients were being used. I got the pad thai and my husband tried the hunan beef which is a wok stir fry of filet mignon, shiitake mushrooms and onions with a side … [Read more...]
