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.

    This was our third visit to this legendary place! This time celebrating my birthday but the treatment this time was as good as our prior visits. The bar staff were awesome, Jen and Christian were awesome throughout our dinner service and the tour of their amazing Tavern on The Green gazebo and wine cellar was an off the hook experience. Thank you to everyone at the Sardine Factory for making my birthday celebration such a memorable evening. We will see y’all whenever we’re within 100 miles of this amazingly historic place!!

    We had the pleasure of dining at Mickey’s Place during the retrofitting of Sierra Mar. As always, the service was fabulous! The menu was limited as could be expected for an interim facility, but the food was very good and we had a chance to explore a part of the Post Ranch property that we hadn’t before! Looking forward to experiencing the newly renovated Sierra Mar later on in the year!
