Built in 1880, The Inn was at one time a brothel, until it was raided by federal officers. The Inn was a favorite site of cowboys and teamsters, who appreciated the fine foods and jovial atmosphere.
Over 100 years later, the Inn at Tres Pinos is now a San Benito County Historical Landmark, carefully restored by owner, Mike Howard. The ambiance is intimate, rustic, and elegant. It’s country with a touch of class, and decorated in a style that is a reflection of Mike’s personal interest. Mike's grandfather taught him the the art of fly-fishing, and every year the family still fishes together at the Big Wood River in Sun Valley, Idaho. Mike married Mary along the Big Wood River in 2010, and the Inn has become a true family affair. Mike’s philosophy is “Keep it fresh and keep it simple.” His staff is personally hand picked and will make every effort to meet your expectations. The Inn at Tres Pinos is the only four-star restaurant in San Benito Country.

    The Inn is a wonderful, small family owned restaurant. Being able to go there for a major holiday (Thanksgiving) and be served by a great waiter (Spencer) and have amazing food is a wonderful treat! Thank you again for a fabulous lunch and great service. The only "issue" is the noise level. The dining area we sat in is very small, (perhaps 35-40 people at 7-9 tables.) When all the tables were filled and everyone was enjoying their meals and conversations, it was a little difficult to hear, but we managed just fine. Thank you again for another lovely holiday meal.

    Overall very good. We had the salmon, fillet and lamb. Everything was excellent. That said, it’s a bit strange they do not serve bread or dinner roles with dinner/prior to dinner (they used to). Our waitress was Jessica and she was very good!!!! The restaurant is extremely noisy (energetic is not the right word, it’s noisy and hard to hear the conversation after 5:45).

    This by far is the best kept secret in San Benito County. An outstanding little gem of a restaurant and bar. Craft cocktails with knowledgeable staff. The cuisine is delicious, consistent and worthy of Michelin stars. Truly delectable. The specials every week keep the variety anticipating. The ambiance, warm, cozy and intimate. A perfect place to meet with your friends and family.

    Excellent meal, all four of us loved our entrees. We were there for three hours, enjoying the outside patio on a beautiful evening, and never once felt rushed. The waiter was outstanding, allowed us our time to chat. We even got to camp in our RVs behind the restaurant, which made it even more enjoyable. We will be back to this treasure!

    Always has suburb specials. It's hard to choose between those and their regular menu which has great dishes. Food is always the correct temperature ( salads are chilled and crispy and entrees are always hot). Servicer were very attentive.

    Dining at Tres Pinos was fantastic. The inn itself and the way it is decorated is a treasure. The information and history of the place that was provided was an especially nice touch. Our waiter was absolutely outstanding. He definitely went above and beyond. We were a group of four and everyone agreed that dining at Tres Pinos was very special. We will definitely be back.

    Best Restaurant if you decide to visit Hollister, our waiter David was very kind and recommended me the Lamb with a Dijon glaze. Perfectly cooked medium-rare with such a rich and juicy taste that just melted as I started chewing. Overall price is very affordable and I would 100% come again.
