Reviews on Pub food in Salinas, California, United States. Salinas /səˈliːnəs/ is the county seat and largest municipality of Monterey County, California. Salinas is an urban area located just outside the southern portion of the Greater Bay Area and 10 miles (16 km) east-southeast of the mouth of the Salinas River. The population was 157,218 as of 2016. The city is located at the mouth of the Salinas Valley roughly eight miles from the Pacific Ocean and has a climate more influenced by the ocean than the hot-summer interior. The majority of residents live in single-unit detached homes, built between 1950 and 2000, while one third of the housing stock has three or more units per structure. Salinas serves as the main business, governmental and industrial center of the region. The marine climate is ideal for the floral industry, grape vineyards, and vegetable growers. Salinas is known for its vibrant and large agriculture industry and being "The Salad Bowl of the World" as the hometown of writer and Nobel Prize in Literature laureate John Steinbeck, who based several of his novels there.

I had the ahi tuna special with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. The tuna was slightly overdone 9medium rare instead of rare) but still very tasty. The potatoes were fluffy and the veggies perfectly grilled. The Scottish red ale was delicious! The wait staff was friendly, prompt and helpful.

The staff were very friendly. The food was fairly typical for a sports bar - no surprises with the menu. The only thing that surprised us were the prices - a little high. The bar is decorated in a way that enhances the vintage feel of the building, which was great.

4. Farmers Union Pour House
Reviewed By MamaDanaMarie
I have had several occasions to visit Farmers Union and always enjoy it there. Whether I am stopping by with some friends to catch up or attending a professional networking event, I am continually impressed. Their beer and wine selection is excellent, as is their service. Even when the place was packed, the bartenders were responsive and friendly. If you visit here, you will feel very welcome and will want to come back.

This establishment has a good selection of teas and a nice atmosphere to enjoy them at the 'tea bar'. The owner is very knowledgeable about the product, however, while she was not outright rude, she was not very welcoming. I'm giving this place an average rating because of that. Probably won't go back. Thank you Trish, I am sorry that you did not have a good experience here at Gold Leaf Spice & Teas. Terri MadridOwner
