Editorial Review for The Sow's Ear Cafe – by Jordana Brown
The Scene
Situated among Cambria's quaint main shopping area, the small restaurant matches its environs perfectly. Its cozy wood-paneled interior, complete with fireplace and all sorts of pig paraphernalia, is bigger than it seems and stays packed with friendly locals.
The Food
Contemporary California cuisine is accompanied by hearty country favorites. The meal starts with a flowerpot full of tempting homemade bread, still warm from the oven. Divine appetizers include plump mushrooms stuffed with tangy herb cheese, and fried Brie served with a baguette, toasted almonds and apple slices. The spinach salad, with mandarin oranges, crispy wonton strips and macadamia-encrusted chicken, is a refreshing twist on the ubiquitous Chinese chicken salad. Perfectly homey chicken fried steak served with a heap of mashed potatoes is the restaurant's top-selling selection.

We were visiting Cambria with some friends who were staying in Cambria for the weekend. They had wanted to take us to another restaurant but it had closed. So they selected the Sow's Ear. What a great choice! As you can see from the dates of the other reviews, they are apparently consistently good. The service was excellent, friendly and the place has character. We were celebrating anninversaries and they took care of that as well. The food was delicious and our wine was very good. So if you are in Cambria try them, you will not be disappointed.

Excellent! The wait staff were great and food was fabulous. It was a wonderful way to end the day of touring the shops and wine tasting. It was my birthday and they took my picture with a Polaroid and sign the picture with the date and give you a free treat. I had Raspberry Cheesecake. If you go to Cambria don't pass this restaurant up.
