New American Restaurants near Avila Beach, CA

“👍🏻 A great place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon and listen to live music and have a meal“

“We decided to try them on a whim, simply because I was curious to finally try escargot. Everything was so delicious! We just tried them today, and they are now on my list of absolute favorite places! The food is so delicious, the staff are amazing, and the views are stunning. 10/10. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“Awful service!!! We needed a table for 2 and was told 5 minutes so we put our name on the list. Another server came to the next couple in line. Asked how many and the server took them straight to a table. At one point there were no servers on the floor for a solid 10 minutes. Nobody checked on us and we wanted another beer. I went to the bartender to order the beers, having to pay separately because they can't transfer the tab to the table. Not to mention that the bathrooms had ZERO toilet paper. None of the stalls. Not a good experience“

“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.“

“We were immediately greeted and seated (we made reservations online in advance)... our waitress greeted us within a short period of time and took our cocktail order... I'm happy they offer my favorite wine, Austin Hope Cabernet by the glass... I've only known Ember to offer it!... My son ordered a Ni Rada? Martini that tasted how I imagine a household cleaner to taste, he reluctantly sucked it down... we didn't bother to complain but we wouldn't recommend it... he later ordered a Paper Plane Martini which he liked better... After reading other reviews, I see we didn't get the initial bread w/Ricotta offering, probably for the best since we've cut down on gluten and wanted to try a pasta dish... We started with a (not pictured) POLPETTE (large meatball) and it was moist, flavorful, & yummy... alongside PAPPARDELLE RAGU, I was hesitant about it due to not being a fan of lamb... however, it was cooked perfectly without any hint of the game flavor I dislike... my only complaint is there isn't a gluten-free pasta substitute option... It may not be Michelin standard... but it would be great to have some gluten-free Ancient Harvest pasta with any of those yummy ragu/pasta sauces available for the many people with gluten sensitivities... MARY'S 1/2 CHICKEN was flavorful and yummy with the silky mashed potatoes... and the melt-in-your-mouth OSSO BUCCO and tasty polenta did not disappoint!... The atmosphere is cozy with home-style elegance... From the initial welcoming greeting, the friendly & timely food service, the "in-tune" staff that directs you to the restroom without having to ask, the constant spotting of Nate's friendly smile as he ensures his operations are running smooth and the thanks for your patronage as you leave... our experience was pleasantly memorable... This was my 2nd visit to Nate's... the first time I had the pork chop which was flavorful, tender and simply superb... We will return!“

“Amazing food and ambience“

“always GREAT! Very cool nw menu every month!“

“Beautiful ambiance. The guitar player’s music hit just the right balance of soul/jazz. The dishes were fantastic and the portions substantial.“

“Pretty good stuff from what I saw. I was there visiting a friend.“

“Urbane Cafe went above and beyond my expectations with their teacher appreciation day. I enjoyed my free meal and the 1:1 attention and greeting that welcomed me to the location. It was my first visit to any Urbane Cafe and Arroyo Grande did the name and their store proud. Thank you.“

“Just the best food, service, and vibe. If you haven’t checked this place out, you should. You’ll be a regular in no time.“

“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.“

“When traveling along the coast, I always make it a point to stop at ManRock Brewing Co. Beers are incredible (loved the “Get Him a Hoppy Bag” triple hazy IPA), food is great and comes out fast (try the bacon covered hot dog) and service is always friendly. Was surprised and happy to find they were open July 4th too! Was also able to get some cans of my favorites to bring home.“

“Sidecar is a must here in San Luis Obispo! The staff and the owners and everything about the place will knock your socks off. I think it’s high time. You guys open a second Sidecar by me in So Cal!“

“5/5 Stars – A Hidden Gem for Authentic Italian ask for your server Van Buhl!

I recently visited Cafe Roma and had Van Buhl sections and was blown away by the genuine Italian experience in such a cozy, small-town setting. From the moment we walked in, the warm, family-like atmosphere made us feel right at home

Went there on my 8th anniversary

Had Van Buhl section he was first class here a picture below with are 5 star server“

“Great food, drinks & vibe!💕“

“We had the bacon wrapped dates, Brussel sprouts and coconut shrimp tacos with key lime pie for dessert. Perfect amount shared by two. Every bite was delicious! Very creative drink menu, non alcoholic. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly.“

“Absolutely love staying at this resort, and the Clubhouse Grill is a large part of that. Lively atmosphere, always friendly servers, and excellent food! Fun to eat outside on the patio while watching live music or golfers (depending on the day), or to eat inside watching sports on the large screen TVs. My husband generally gets the rib eye, and I have a few different favorites.“

“Wonderful staff and service! The food is fresh and delicious, and the cocktails too. We love coming here for happy hour to catch the beautiful sunsets.“

“Great breakfast selections! Excellent curation of ingredients to make your tummy happy!“

“First, I feel that this restaurant has some of the best food in the county! Last night we went there with 2 other couples and had a fantastic meal...however, the real highlight was our server Erik!!! Wow, some of the best service I think I have ever had, he was engaging, funny, very professional and very knowledgeable! His tableside manners were amazing and he was always nearby to take care of us all! Erik....Thanks buddy...we will ask for you next time we come in!!!“

“Another tasty chicken joint 🐓 🤤“

“I had the tuna bowl and the filet Mignon with mashed potatoes. My friend had the Mushroom Alfredo pasta. Everything was delicious.“

“Watch out for the chairs!“

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

“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.“

“My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience eating at the Gardens of Avila . I had the Pacific Halibut . the fish was cooked to perfection and was fresh and very tasty. My girlfriend had the salmon and it was equally delicious . The vegetables are so fresh and great tasting that accompanied our meals. we loved the ambience of the restaurant as it is part of the Sycamore hot springs resort hotel . We had a great waitress who recommended coming to stay at the hotel that has hot spring tubs in each room . We were presently surprised by this and will very much make reservations to stay at the resort in the very near future. So weather or not you stay at the hotel or not the Gardens of Avila is a great restaurant Overall a very spectacular restaurant to eat at and at a great value.“

“Cool hangout, we sampled a few of the beers and are planning on trying the food.“

“Breakfast at the Oak Grill was delicious!! I started with a latte and ordered the avocado toast with an egg on top. Every component was very good...the bread was fresh, there was plenty of avocado, arugula and tomato and the balsamic drizzle tied it all together. The egg was cooked just the way I like it. It was a very hearty meal!! Our server was very attentive and upbeat. Everyone else in my party enjoyed their meals as well...the garden eggs Benedict looked so good and they didn't skimp on the hollandaise sauce. The breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun looked very appetizing and they served both of those entrees with perfectly cooked baby potatoes. We will be back again!!“
