29 Best Seafood Restaurants near Oceano

“Absolutely loved the fish and chips! I decided to try Slappy's after checking ratings and was pleasantly pleased. Three nice size pieces of fish that are hand battered,the batter is seasoned and people let me tell you the french fries were insanely out of this world fantastic. The fries look like they have a coating on them but not covered completely in the coating. I know that sounds crazy but it's true my friend and I could not stop eating them so worth the money. I walked up to the side window about 630 it was really good you guys I can't say it enough. There was only one lady working in the kitchen and she was so nice. Go check this place out. They've got a nice little menu of different things not just fish and chips and of course chowder.“

“Amazing food that is very inspiring, unique and delicious. Nothing else like it in the area. A must for any foodie who appreciates well thought out dishes.“

“Ordered the Fish and Chips, and Melted Shrimp Tacos. Also a Dr. Pepper and some kind of beer. The Fish and Chips were alright. Fish tasted quite good, typical Cod taste. The batter was not the best, and there was a little too much of it. Plenty of fries come with the fish, though I didn't find them very appealing.

Melted Shrimp Tacos were decent, nothing extraordinary about them. Surprisingly filling.

Price versus the amount of food you get doesn't really carry over the best for this particular combination of food. It was something like $63 for the dishes and drinks. Probably about what you'd expect in this part of the Central Coast, but there are places nearby that have similar dishes for smaller prices.

I'd probably get one of the seafood boils or sheets next time.“

“Food was delicious and fresh!“

“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 food and the bar tenders were amazing! Had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Thank you“

“Absolutely perfect from the moment you step foot into the hotel! Favorite part has to be the views and private spa on the patio❣️“

“muy rica comida y el personal amable“

“Very very very delicious.. it’s been a minute where I leave a restaurant fully 100% satisfied and I was very happy and will be coming back. Just wish there was alcohol but they are in the process of getting their license. I got the shrimp cocktail and a taco de camarón de Culiacán and my husband got the 3 tostadas de ceviche which was served in a bowl with tostadas on the side! The best idea! We will be back hopefully next time we can pair it with a miche ??“

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

“This was our first stop after coming into Pismo Beach and it honestly hit the spot. Super friendly employees, chill vibe, and fresh, yummy seafood. Scallops were buttery and caramelized, oysters were fresh as hell, and the fish & chips? Crispy perfection. Oh—and yeah, get the deep fried cheesecake!“

“Took my mom for lunch. I ordered daily special of lobster chile relleno which came with rice, and it was absolutely delicious. Mom had seafood salad croissant and she loved it. Generous servings and good service. Will definitely be back“

“The poke nachos and the Mahi Mahi were so good and do not miss out on the clam chowder. It was amazing. Sadly, the fried calamari had no flavor. Service was mostly good. However, we had to flag down our server more than once for refills. The attention after we got our food wasn't the best. Overall, a 7 out of 10. Will definitely try it again.“

“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!“

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

“Local goto place for burgers, loaded fries and Baja fish tacos. It's got a dive bar vibe located right across from the splash cafe. Happy hour starts at 2pm!!! $7,$8 margaritis and mai tais and food costs only $7-$8! They allowed us to park our bike outside and the service was wonderful!“

“The food is incredible- it was an explosion of flavor and don’t hesitate to step out of your comfort zone to try something new. 5 out of 5“

“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.“

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

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

“Excellent food. A little spendy but certainly delicious. I had an one of the best oyster shooters. I would return.

Parking: Easy in, easy out. This location is in a strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't think so. Small, quiet, and it's sushi, there's that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Always awesome with great food and good drinks.“

“Great Thai food in Nipomo? Yes y’all this place is fire! Best pad thai I’ve ever had. Pad see ew is so flavorful, they fry their tofu very well so that crispy texture is maintained, the Thai tea with coconut milk has very high quality coconut milk in it so it’s super creamy. I would drive the 3 hrs it takes to get there on a whim for sure.“
