“Great food Fast service Like eating at my moms Would definitely come back Yum.“

“Feels like an island getaway! Service has always been superb, the food tastes incredible with a beautiful presentation, and visit the very personable bartender for a well made cocktail or mocktail! We will always come back.“

“Yes, you will need a reservation, but they were kind enough to reserve a special table for us to honor our 10th anniversary! We were greeted with smiles and staff was quick to offer either still or sparkling water [nice]. Our water pourer, Maddie, was ahead of our thirst all evening and our glasses never were empty [we went through three bottles!]. Our server, Haley, was attentive and professional. She very capably poured the Justin Isosceles and went over the menu to answer any questions. My tuna tataki was exceptional...it may be an appetizer, but it was incredibly tasty and filling. The lady thoroughly enjoyed her local sablefish [first time] and its yummy accompaniments. The wine list is strong and reasonably priced. Beautiful views of Pismo Beach enhance the dining experience. The restaurant is on point, clean top notch restrooms and obvious elegance. We couldn't believe there wasn't any dress code...folks showed up looking like they just walked off the beach without a wink. Ahh...the beach life in Pismo is quite relaxing.“

“The staff at Ada's was very friendly and accommodating. They were able to make adjustments to dishes if requested. Ada's clam chowder was different from other places I have ordered clam chowder (comparing with Ivars and Moe's); added fresh chives, gave the broth more flavor than usual. The potatoes in the chowder were the right consistency. Creamy soup without seeming like gravy nor thin. The portion was about 1.75 cups. Ample side sourdough bread. The crust was soft and not dried out. The staff was accommodating, providing peppermint tea and plenty of hot water in a teapot, which I found charming. Parking is an issue, but welcome to costal CA. Everyone has consisdered the limits of possible parking and made diagrams in compensation. The indoor dining room tables are fairly close proximity, so be prepared to possibly know the topic of your neighbor's conversation.“

“this is my happy place! staff always go above and beyond to make our stays great. they are friendly and i love how every time you walk thru the lobby they greet you with good morning...welcome back ..etc. the restaurant is absolutely to die for. the rooms are amazing and the views breathtaking. we visit at least twice a year and always celebrate our anniversary here ! January cant come soon enough.“

“Staying at SeaVenture Beach Hotel was an amazing experience from start to finish. The location is absolutely perfect, right on the beach, with stunning ocean views that make every moment special. Watching the sunset from the balcony was one of the most relaxing and beautiful experiences.

The rooms are spacious, stylish, and very comfortable, with thoughtful details that make you feel right at home. Having a private balcony and enjoying the fresh ocean breeze made the stay even more memorable.

The staff was welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with anything we needed. If you're looking for a peaceful beach escape with great views and excellent service, SeaVenture Beach Hotel is definitely the place to stay. I would happily come back again!“

“We had an amazing meal for my daughter's birthday and our server was great.“

“muy rica comida y el personal amable“

“I love this little gem in Oceano! It's great to grab a bite to take to the beach or bring home. Their clam chowder is excellent and highly recommend. I just had the second half of my order from last night, and it's just as good the next day with some San Luis Sourdough!“

“Best fish & chips on the County. Wonderful choice of beers Great service.“

“Emily was our server. She was so sweet and prompt. The atmosphere is very nice and super clean. I ordered the best nachos I've ever had and I'm from San Diego. 😄 Nice to have such a gem of a restaurant so close to home. I will tell my family and friends 🧡
Thanks,Cee“

“Great patio , great food and a friendly staff 💜“

“Fin's Bar & Grill is the quintessential Pismo Beach and Five Cities Experience.

After spending a day at the beach in downtown Pismo, or a day on the Oceano dunes, the best thing we love the most is to drive down the street for the perfect capstone of our Pismo day or Pismo trip.l with a meal at Fin's Restaurant.

Whenever going to Fin's, it's never too busy, the service is always excellent, and the atmosphere is still a little lively sometimes with live music (and the music is never too loud either).
Everything at Fin's is truly the perfect experience after a day on the beach, or for a midday lunch break at the beach.

The prices are perfect, the food is super good (with fresh seafood, and other fares for all tastes), and the vibe is perfectly chill but also the right amount of lively.

(Hot tip: if you want a clam chowder bread bowl in the Pismo area, I guarantee that Fin's has the absolute BEST bread bowl in the entire SLO County. The bread is grilled thoroughly to perfection, and they somehow manage to make their sourdough light and fluffy and doughy at the same time.)“

“We've been coming here for 40 years and it's always been a favorite spot for fish and chips and tri tip! The atmosphere is wonderful (patio), and it's the first place that we go for food when visiting the central coast! An absolute must!“

“3 piece fish chips very small pieces over seasoned fries. Fish bite wet in mouth with oil. First time here“

“We came in around 6pm on a weekday and they are kinda busy, parking was easy, not always the case in Pismo specially around their area, parking is always one of the reason why we hesitate to come here, specially on a summer. Anyway enough of the parking, service was great, friendly host, attentive server, fast service, food came out quick. They have plenty of options. Their menu is basically american diner/bar food.“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“My wife and I had brunch at Vista Steak and Seafood Restaurant. I had the chilaquiles with 2 over easy eggs on top and my wife had the chorizo with eggs. Food was great so was the service I can't forget the view was beautiful.“

“Always awesome with great food and good drinks.“

“Excellent service snd food and Million dollar view! We will be back! Jenn was great!“

“Food was excellent. The standouts were the best fries and clam chowder we’d ever had. The service is fast and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. They are dog friendly and even have a menu just for dogs. Our Maltipoos shared the “Marley and Meat” and loved their meals. We all agreed that Rick’s was our favorite meal of this vacation, and we will be back next time in Avila Beach.“

“Good vegan thai option in town. Staff is knowledgeable on how to make each dish vegan. There is an option to prepare each dish vegan when you order at the kiosk.
Got the pad see ew with tofu and garlic tofu entree - which were both very flavorful. Each dish came with a side of cabbage, which was nice to bulk out the dish. The house made spicy sambal was a nice touch as well.“

“We arrived for 5 p.m. Friday evening for patio dining and live music. Pleasantly surprised to be offered free champagne or a glass of wine (from 4-6 pm weekdays)The view was spectacular the service was great and I have recommended to my friends that we should come back on another Friday.“

“The most Delicious BBQ I’ve had since I left the south!“

“You know when you cant stop talking about how great the food is the place has to be good. And sure enough while staying in Santa Maria for a week I searched up best Thai Restaurants in the area. This restaurant was in the top ten so my mom and I decided to try it. When we arrived the door had a sign that said cash/venmo only accepted. So make sure you have either or as forms of payment. It will be worth it trust me. We were greeted by Jay Nipomo and seated promptly. Impeccable customer service. Met all are needs. Water was filtered, not tap. Always had extra napkins. Ordered the Pad See u with beef, yum salad Ribeye, tom yum soup with chicken, lettuce wrap name sod & crispy rice, chamomile citron tea. Everything is an must try. Served fresh all veggies and meats. I've been to quite a few Thai restaurants and hands down this one is the best that I have tried. You can tell the cook puts their heart and soul in every dish. Delicious! Will definitely return when I visit again. At the completion of our dinner Mr. Jay packed our left overs. He took his time to find out where we were coming from made us feel at home. Thank you so much its rare to have such great service as this.“
