What User likes about Steinbeck House:
It was Rodeo Week so we enjoyed delicate and tasty grilled tri-tip on a plate with fresh Salinas tall vegetables and roasted potatoes. The meal, complete with salad or soup, was just $15. We had meals there and they're always the first. Too bad we were too full for dessert as the options are excellent. View all feedback.
