Out on the Patio

When the Twain Harte weather is good, our patio is the best seat in the house. Come for a long lunch, a margarita in the afternoon, or dinner under the pines.

The patio is dog friendly, so your dog is welcome at the table with you. We have been a family-owned restaurant here since 1999, and that includes the four-legged part of the family.

Happy Hour & Full Bar

Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 3 to 6 p.m. — small bites, $1 off bottled beers, $8 tall draft beers, and $7 house margaritas. Taco Tuesday has specials of its own.
