Eproson house

Awesome little place in downtown Twain Harte. We were hungry from a day of exploring and I killed my Rueben before getting pics, it was delicious though.

Perfect place to dine. Had the Ruben with garlic fires. The bread was marbled rye, and the Ruben was grilled just enough to crisp up the edges but the sandwhich itself was still soft. There was a healthy helping of meat Sauerkraut and cheese. I was so excited to eat it and it was so yummy i didn't even get a picture. Guess I'll just have to go back. It was delicious!

Great location with outstanding food and service! I highly recommend The Eproson House!

Warm inviting restaurant..fireplace was lit and created such wonderful atmosphere. Ordered crab omelet, absolutely delicious. The chef prepared a homemade jelly that was perfect! Our server was super sweet, smiled effortlessly, on top of everything! Great food, great price, nice location

Solid 5 stars all around. Food was great. Atmosphere was excellent. Staff was super attentive and polite. Couldn't have asked for more.

Absolutely awesome. We took the family there for dinner. The steak was done perfectly and I am picky. My daughter and I loved the mashed potatoes. The salmon was delicious my hubby said. My son had a burger and fries. Desert was good too. Barely could fit any in!

We went on a Friday night without reservations. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was friendly and attentive, but not overly so. The food was wonderful, and I think I have a new favorite place to go for dinner.

Had a lovely Birthday dinner earlier today, and had an absolutely wonderful time. Everything was nice an service was efficient. There is only two things I would change. First is the fact that the creme brulee cheese cake is listed twice under two different yet similar prices and the second is the the advertising for the blackberry chocolate cake. It can easily feed three, not two!

Great experience. Staff was friendly, food was great. Cant wait to go back! We had the chicken parmesan, fish (halibut I believe), flank steak (was chewy and undercooked).

Fine dining atmosphere with a pretty dining lodge (especially in the winter weather), romantic vibes for sure, note that during the weekends the attached bar has live music at times and can get a bit loud, the bar staff is super fun and maintain a clean atmosphere amongst the party seekslers!

What a great spot for good food. Try the hanger steak with chimichuri. It's damn good. Friendly and fast service to boot! I will definitely come back during our next trip out to this area.

So I’ve been a fairly regular at Eproson house for the past five years. It has always been my Go-To place for a very nice meal, especially the seafood plates and the prime rib. We’ve had a lot of good experiences here over the years, but reading recent reviews concerning the food quality and service, left us a bit hesitant over coming in for a meal. Well, let me tell you, be rest assured, the Eproson house is still up to its A-game. The service and food tonight were outstanding. We could not have asked for better service from Alyssa and crew. The prime rib was Melt-In-Your-Mouth and out of this world. Get in and get yourself a great meal and show them your love. You won’t regret it.

We arrived just before 11 and enjoyed a delicious lunch. Service was prompt and thoughtful, mixed drinks and stout on draft were spot on. We truly enjoyed the prime rib French dip and grilled turkey avocado sandwich. We will definitely eat here again.

I wanted a good steak so I told my wife to hop in the car so we could go and try this place out. I was NOT disappointed in the slightest! It's in a cozy little spot up in Twain Harte, the food was delicious through and through. I ate the entire steak with garlic compote butter. The orange blossom Moscow mule was the best mule I've ever had and that's saying a lot. They have live music, karaoke and other events too. I will 100% be back to have another date night with my wife.

Marlow was a great waitress. Very attentive staff. Had one of the best shrimp puttanesca I have ever had. It was so good I ate two and then finished my wife's leftovers. Will be back to this place very soon. The noodles were gluten free rice noodles and were cooked perfectly along with the shrimp. Capers and kalamata olives with garlic chunks and white wine, was amazing! Wonderful flavor from start to finish.

What a beautiful meal in a beautiful location. Our server couldn’t have done more for us and our food was beautiful and very reasonably priced considering how great it was. Loved the Dust Bowl IPA too!

The waitress sat us next to the fireplace, which was just perfectly warm. The restaurant itself was just beautiful to me. This was the first place my husband and I literally ate everything off our plates😋 it was delicious. We will definitely come back when we visit again.

Overall, its just simply great. Good variety menu, quick service, excellent quality food. I will be coming back for the next thing on the menu.

First time going to this restaurant and fell in love with it. The staff was super friendly wish I could remember the bartenders name but she was amazing. She said she was fairly new there but we couldn’t tell. She was so helpful and friendly. We sat out back and she made onus and our Pitbull feel right at home. Great food, great drinks, great service 10/10 recommend.

I had the bar menu prime rib sandwich, Philly cheese style with fries, it was beyond excellent! Next time I would ask for the fries to be a little bit on the crisp side as is my personal preference. I had an old fashioned from the young female bartender and it was excellent! The guy who was tending bar with the earrings, didn't do so good. He forgot to place our order and seemed a bit lost.

This place is a hidden gem. The food is great, service is good, and the restaurant is a quaint little place with lots of history. The bar is my favorite place to dine, but with kids, outdoors is perfect. There aren't many places out there like Twain Harte anymore!

We went for our anniversary dinner and the food was pretty good. The chicken piccata sauce was a little heavier than what we’re accustomed to, but was still pretty good. I only got 3 shrimp with my steak and shrimp, so it was a little disappointing for the price we paid. The steak was flavorful- I do have to give them credit there. The service was not great but the wait staff was friendly enough. It was very loud inside the restaurant and made it difficult to have a decent conversation without having to yell. Overall though, we did enjoy ourselves and we would return again in the near future.

Great Moscow Mule and Portobello Ravioles with a light wine sauce. Maybe the sauce needed a little bit more concentrating, a bit more salt. The roasted bell pepper soup was excellent. Service was excellent.... outdoor seating, friendly reception too!

My visit to the restaurant left a mixed impression. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant and created an inviting atmosphere. The staff was attentive. Unfortunately, the quality of the dishes did not meet our expectations, and the value for money was lacking. The prices of the dishes were too expensive compared to the offered quality. The dishes were not particularly outstanding in taste, and it seemed that the prices were not appropriately matched. The portion sizes might have been adequate, but they couldn't fully compensate for the overall experience. It was a shame that the food quality didn't reach the level one would expect at those prices.

This restaurant is located downtown with a charming atmosphere. What affected my rating was the food. It wasn't that good and everyone at my table of 7 did not enjoy their food. Terribly under seasoned and found myself trying to load up with salt and pepper. The salmon I got was ok. The service was great and very friendly people. I just could get passed the food. The price was not worth it. Without the service I would have dropped down to a 2 which for me is particularly low. I would not recommend to people I know or even staying in our vacation cabin.

We were referred to The Eproson house by a long term local. We had high hopes. We were disappointed. We were seated quickly as we got there just after they opened. The waiter was indifferent at best. I had prime rib and my wife ordered a rib eye, we also shared a beet salad. The salad was quite good. The prime rib was good, but the mashed potatoes were lukewarm. The rib eye and the mashed potatoes were lukewarm at best, and the steak was just so-so.

Eperson House has lost its charm. We were initially asked to move our table because someone else had requested it, which is unusual. The caprese straciatella didn’t come with Cover’s Farm heirloom tomatoes as advertised on the menu, but instead, it was served with cherry tomatoes on baguette bread, which was quite disappointing. The ribeye was okay, but my baked potato was cold. I would recommend driving further up the road to either Mia’s or the Steam Donkey.

Having been going here for years. Surprised when went in on Sat. (Memorial Day weekend) and hardly anyone in the place. New bartenders and waitresses. Service horrible. Food took over 45 mins with no explanations, bartenders very lack luster, never ask if we wanted another drink. Person next to us waited 50 mins for a simple sandwich. When food came it was cold. Sorry to see this happening, hope they see the issue and fix it.

The restaurant is nice on the outside.Definitely caught my attention. Inside, the restaurant temperature was so cold. They only had one portable heater in the entire room where we were seated. After waiting for our dinner, approximately 35 minutes, the food portion was extremely small for the price we paid. And to top it off, THEY added a 22% gratuity fee to our check. The food was descent but not great. The sourdough bread with the dipping balsamic vinegar was the best on the table. Lastly, customer service was good, but I will not go back to this restaurant again.

We have been meaning to try the Eproson House for sometime now. We finally did. I really wanted to have a good meal and we were in the mood for a nice dinner. Was a Tuesday night, only 2 other tables when we arrived. Took a while to be seated but after that the service was good. Our waiter was attentive and kept the glasses full. The atmosphere was good and the building history is interesting. She ordered the Parmesan Cheese Risotto with Salmon. It was extremely cheesy, so much so, there was an oil residue in the bowl. I love Risotto but we both found it inedible. The salmon had good flavor but was a bit dry. At 30.00 for the dish, we were disappointed. I had the Chicken Marsala. The chicken had a strange texture to it. Reminded me of calamari. Frozen maybe? The sauce was runny with a vinegar taste to it. The garlic mashed potatoes were excellent! With all the 4 and 5 stars I hate giving only 2 but our experience was not what we had hoped for. We will probably give it one more try since we are fairly local and update if we have a better experience.

After reading all the recent bad reviews, my husband and I still decided to try this place since there aren’t too many options in the area. Even with pretty low expectations, this place is appalling bad. Really unenthusiastic service, like no “hello, how are you?” Basically just “are you ready?” We were hungry, so we’re grateful to get our food pretty quickly, but it was definitely not good. We ordered prime rib and flank steak, both medium rare. Both were under seasoned & tough. Some components were ok, both nothing was good like you’d expect on a $40 dinner. The rice was the most bizarre thing I’ve probably been served in a restaurant. It looked like rice a roni and tasted like turmeric and tomato, but had no salt. I’m not sure what’s going on with this place 😂. The only positive was good cocktails and we managed to get another round and enough of a buzz going to laugh off the $160 we spent for 2 people. Props to the 2 lady bartenders working last night. They seem to be the only employees who know what they’re doing and have any personality. If I ever find myself here again, I’d visit the bar, but would definitely never order food again.

Been going there long time. Last 2 years seems to be going in a bad direction. Good very inconsistent. Service had last night was atrocious, waiter could be heard talking nasty about previous staff and the chefs. She must lost track where she was cause I had to ask the other waiters to check on my food. Came out cold undercooked and over priced with a 40$ + steak salad Wow

We arrived at the restaurant exactly at 7:00 PM. The place was not busy at all, yet the food didn’t start arriving until 9:00 PM. The first course was just a poorly prepared and unappetizing salad. The main course didn’t reach our table until around 9:15 PM. This level of disorganization is completely unacceptable. We had our 2.5-year-old daughter with us, and as any parent knows, it’s incredibly difficult to keep a young child seated, hungry, and waiting for that long. This experience was nothing short of a disaster. I will never return to this place and will actively discourage others from coming. It’s shocking that an establishment that wastes people’s time and money like this is even operating. I truly hope the money earned from this kind of service brings no good to its owner. Absolutely disgraceful.

We have been coming to this restaurant for years….we noticed a lot of changes last night. Why did you change the menus, many favorites were removed? 22 percent tip, charging 6 dollars for extra bread, charged 5 dollars to use your credit pymt. Our entrees were subpar, much better cheeseburger at the golf club and the Rock restaurant. I hope the locals support the changes, after the tourist leave.

The worst chicken alfredo I've ever had. They forgot the chicken (as well as any sort of seasoning), and it resembled that which is served in public school cafeterias. My group mates ordered steak medium rare, which came well done with a texture that resembled shoe soles. They first forgot to give us forks for our food, then salad with a meal, and finally a pen to sign the receipt with. The staff and location were nice, but I'd never want to come back here again, especially for that price.

•Drinks - 5 of 5, •Food - 1.5 of 5, •Bread 5 of 5 We were excited to try The Eproson House for the first time, but unfortunately the experience fell short of expectations. We ordered the 10oz Flank steak, and it took quite a long time to come out. When it finally arrived, it was cold. After sending it back, the replacement still came out only lukewarm. The steak itself lacked seasoning or flavor, and the sides that came with it weren’t very enjoyable either. We ended up relying on A1 sauce just to make it decent. On the positive side, the bread with oil and vinegar was outstanding, and the drinks were excellent — definitely the highlight of the evening. Our waitress was kind and tried to make up for the experience by not charging us for the drinks, which we really appreciated. That gesture stood out even though the food itself was disappointing. Unfortunately, overall service seemed overwhelmed for a Thursday night; we even overheard other diners commenting on how long it was taking to get their food. While we appreciated the great drinks and thoughtful service from our waitress, the main dishes left us underwhelmed, and we’re not sure we’d return anytime soon.

We had one of the worst outdoor dining experiences today. They were clearly short staffed but told us to wait a half hour. We decided to stick around but probably should have left then and there. We got seated in time, but the wait continued to be an issue. Took a while to place the order and had to ask if the food was ready. Few other patrons saw similar issues and atleast one left after placing an order. We finally got some food, but it was not much better. We did not finish any of our portions. The cheese and ravioli had no flavor, and the burger was not much good either. We left frustrated and hungry, having spent over a hundred dollars for 3. Management seriously needs to rethink how this place is run. The staff seemed nice and the place has potential.

Way over priced for what it is, most of the dinner is ala carte, 89$ for 2 tiny bowls of pasta no salad, potato, or veggies came with the pasta, 4 beers and a tip was 105$$!!! Rib eye was overcooked and cost 46$ for one steak, don't waste your time. Waitress was great.

We just ate here August 31st around 5pm, and this was a truly horrible dining experience; mediocre, bland, unseasoned food, expensive prices, dusty and boring interior, 22 minute wait for cocktails when it wasn't busy at all, flies all around us as we ate, and worst of all we couldnt even drink the water as we found not one, but two fruit flies in our water. The only positive thing I have to say is that our server was good and nice. This fine dining restraunt was anything but fine. You cant even trust the water. I advise anyone to avoid this place and look elsewhere, you'll find cheaper food that tastes better, and no flies included.
