We had an excellent family dinner. The service was superb. The food was good and the menu was priced well. I got a Paine's steak, rice and perfectly cooked vegetables.
Best dinner ever! Love their chicken piccata and their daily specials! Friendly staff and quick service!Recommended dishesChicken Piccata
A bit pricey but good food. Update 3/4/22: It seems like the quality of the food and the experience hasn't been as good recently. The prices are still a bit high for the quality of food in my opinion. On this latest visit celebrating our daughter's college graduation, we ordered a couple of appetizers: the Saganaki and the Breaded Calamari. The Saganaki is really tasty and rich - it is a baked Greek cheese w/butter served flaming at table-side. The Breaded Calamari comes as sticks with dipping sauce and those were pretty tasty as well. My wife ordered the bacon-wrapped pork loin but wasn't happy with it - she said it was dry and tough. I ordered the cut of New York, but the steak was just ok; I must have received an end cut because the steak had a flap of gristle through the entire steak. For the price of these main courses, we expected better quality food. My son ordered the Bananas Foster as he joined us late. He said it was good. Here's hoping this latest experience isn't indicative of the restaurant's trajectory. We may give it one more try in the future. Again, for the price, the food should be impeccable.
Great place to go when you want something more than a burger or pizza, but not to fancy either. Good service and good food. Decent selection of local wines. The chicken piccata was awesome! The calamari steak was pretty darn good too.
Love the food and service!!! My favorite restaurant! This time we had the Paines Steak it was great. See video with my handsome hubby date great night, as always. Server's are so nice and made it even better.Food: 5/5
I'd never been here before or heard of it. But it really impressed me. First the service was excellent with remembering our drinks and what we ordered. My father in law said he orders Arnold Palmers and typically servers refill it with ice tea. Not here. They remembered and he was impressed by that. Besides the service, the food was tasty and very fresh. The price was also excellent for the quality of food and service. Also it got very busy as the night went on. I can see why. If I were in town again, I definitely would come here again.
Great restaurant!!! Been an iconic local restaurant for decades! Founded by the Paine's family, who have always been great, contributing Hollister residents. I even had Mrs. Paine as a teacher at Spring Grove school. Tonight we enjoyed our family Christmas dinner at Paine's in the side room. Service was great and my bacon-wrapped filet mignon was delicious! Merry Christmas Kid-friendliness: It is mostly an adult restaurant/establishment, however, they have high chairs and children's menu. Parking: Unfortunately if you don't find a street parking spot near the entrance, it could be a hike. Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap spots, and the restaurant is compliant with all ADA laws/guidelines
Nice small town restaurant with modern updated menus. Banquet room available for larger private partiesFood: 5/5
Cute place but food was tasteless and not good. Both my husband and I had flavorless and watered down dishes. We were excited to try this place, but we won’t be back. Disappointed because Italian is my favorite food.
We Always Love their Food, & Their Service!! Celebrated Mother Day Dinner, The day Before Mother's Day, it Was Amazing!!
