The Century Room Restaurant — Restaurant in Santa Maria

Just finished eating brunch (12-2pm)with 4 girlfriends and it was seriously terrible. The service was poor, coffee cold, food lacked flavor including the Santa Maria tri-tip,, they ran out of prime rib, food in warming containers was soggy, the chocolate fountain was a thick, curdled burnt mess, deserts were arranged in shambles on a table and tasted old, plates stacked up on our table, 3 servers standing around doing nothing by the omelette bar,. I hardly ate a thing as nothing was flavorful, desirable or fresh tasting and I LOVE to eat!!! Super disappointing, especially for the price of $42/person and doesn’t even include a single mimosa!

Our girlfriend wanted to celebrate her birthday here which I told the hostess when making the reservation but they either forgot or don’t do anything special for birthdays anymore. We all enjoyed spending time together but in our subtle ways agreed that the dining experience was disappointing.

I called the restaurant at about 230pm to express my concerns to the restaurant manager but he had already left for the day.

Unfortunately, the SM Inn brunch needs serious rehab….Ill...

I dined here while staying at the Historic Santa Maria Inn and it was a comfortable upscale experience. My roommate and I went down for dinner between 7:30pm and 8pm and the host welcomed us with a smile and showed us to a table near the fireplace. . It was a Tuesday night so the restaurant was fairly empty. There were only one or two other parties in the establishment. Knowing this place is pricey we kept it light and simple with water and lemon to start and skipped the alcohol. I order the stuffed quinoa ratatouille as my entree and a side of shrimp as a protein. . The servings were pretty big so you definitely get what you pay for. They also brought bread and butter to the table which is a staple I miss in most restaurants. The dish was not overly flavorful, but very filling. The shrimp was well marinated and had a thyme, lemon and butter profile so herbal and savory. Service was prompt and they did not rush us out although we were the last party to leave. Would definitely dine here again and recommend to anyone seeking a ritzy,...

Three of us had dinner here on 7/5/24. First the negative: The strawberry salad had spicy pepper flakes that were not mentioned in the menu. We ordered bread and decaf coffee, but they didn't have any. The positive: The grilled salmon and fish taco were excellent. The Crème brûlée dessert was also very good. The atmosphere was very good but a bit dark. And the service was outstanding. They eventually brought out the bread, but we are not sure why we didn't get any originally. While the dinner was less than perfect, the mistakes can and should be fixed easily. I would be willing to give them one...
