Best Continental Restaurants in Salinas

Despite having visited the area many times over the years, this was our first visit to the justifiably acclaimed Anton & Michel. What a wonderful experience. The view of the courtyard from a window table set the tone for a romantic evening, since it was a bit chilly to sit outside. We highly recommend the French onion soup, seafood fricassee and clam spaghetti—all prepared superbly. The service also was everything you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. We look forward to visiting again soon.

My wife and I had an exceptional experience. Besides the amazing view of the valley, the food is fantastic. My wife and I shared the chicken parmigiana and the short rib raviolis along with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The appetizer was seared tuna and the dessert was a slice of cheese cake. We have celebrated at the Grand View twice and both times were fantastic.

The Inn at Tres Pinos is an amazing restaurant! The food is delicious, as the chef is creative and most talented. Our server was extremely attentive, as was the rest of the staff. The chef even made a meal for my husband which was not on the menu! The Inn at Tres Pinos is one of our favorite restaurants in the area!
