Reviews


Currently, you have 6479 evaluations from 10 website(s) on hand. The midpoint valuation for Duarte's Tavern is 4, this indicates guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. Tavern Duartes is a charming family tavern with a rich history, but recent changes seem to have disappointed some loyal customers. While some rave about the spectacular food and amazing cocktails and pies, others have had less than pleasant experiences, citing slow service, overpriced meals, and disappointing dishes. The ambience is praised as fabulous, with a small-town feel that adds to the cozy atmosphere. The famous olallieberry pie is a must-try, and the cream of artichoke soup receives glowing reviews. Overall, opinions seem divided on whether the restaurant lives up to its reputation, with some vowing never to return and others eagerly planning their next visit.

Wonderful out of the way gold mine! Excellent local seafood and produce, homemade bread and pies to swoon over! Juan the bartender makes a killer margarita.

Very pricey for pretty average food. But if you're in Pescadero, you've gotta go.

They are supposed to inform you of the 17% mandatory gratuity, which they don't. So, you'll get scammed.
