“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.”

“We enjoyed Del’s Pizzeria in Pismo Beach. It has an old-school Italian neighborhood feel and has been serving the area since 1973, which gives the place a lot of character. The pizza is the main reason to come here. The crust has a nice texture, the toppings are generous, and the Del’s Special is a good choice if you want a little of everything. We also liked the meatballs, fried ravioli, and lasagna. One small thing that stood out was the warm bread rolls with honey butter — simple, but really good. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and the service was friendly. It can take a little longer when they are busy, but the food feels homemade and satisfying. A good place for pizza and classic Italian comfort food when you want something casual in Pismo Beach.”

“Great service, friendly people. There was a line at this place but I can see why! The line moved fast and they were honest about the wait but the hot latte I got was very good. I got a little bit of sweetener in it but the coffee flavor really came out. It was really nice, I even tasted some hints of caramel from the coffee which was lovely. The milk was frothed well, was the right heat, and overall quite good. Highly recommended!”

“It's the first time I visit a coffee shop inside a surf shop. Initially I thought I was at the wrong place and looked around a little confused. The barista is probably used to it and was very nice and patiently waited for me to figure out it was the right place. The menu has the classic coffee shop offerings but also offers a which was very intriguing. There were lots of good choices and I'll definitely be back to try the Smoked Iced Americano some other day. I ordered the Salted Caramel Latte. It was a perfectly balanced drink and the bruleed sugar at the top was so good. The sweetness was just enough and didn't cover the taste of the coffee. The service took the experience to another level. The barista was friendly and welcoming. He showed great attention to detail and had that beautiful latte art on top before he finished the drink off with the bruleed sugar. I highly recommend this place and it will be my go to spot for coffee anytime I'm in the area.”

“I've been to Breezeway Cafe once, and the folks who run the place are sweethearts. My partner spilled his Americano, and they remade it for him, which they didn't have to do. Their portions are enormous. A side of bacon and biscuits with gravy will last you, or at least me, two meals. The Strawberry Dream was great, perfect amount of ice cream, strawberries, and breading. My only feedback is both the gravy and breading could use a little more salt, but I'm sure I could ask for that next time. I wish they weren't 300 miles away from where I live”

“Dropped in on our way up the coast. Lovely staff and very reasonable priced sandwiches!! The bread is the perfect lever of crumb. Fluffy, Airy and incredibly easy to bite through. No skimping on the meats either. Would recommend eating in store or close by, I waited a bit too long and had a long walk back to my car and a drive back to our hotel. Sandwich was still amazing but should have eaten it in the store.”

The Caesar salad was really good but wish we had added the pastrami, I think this would have taken it to the next level The tempura lobster was incredible, one of the highlights of meal but the ribeye was our favorite because it was cooked so well We tried the apple creme brûlée for dessert, it had the same classic creme brûlée crunch you love but flavors of a caramel apple. We will be back!”

“We stopped by Scorpion Bay Coffee Co. while in Pismo Beach and really liked the relaxed coastal feel. It is close to the pier, has plenty of seating, and feels more like a local coffee shop than a big chain. The coffee is the highlight. The espresso has a strong, full flavor, and they have some fun specialty drinks like the Killer Scorpion latte with cinnamon and cayenne, Mexican mocha, honey oat latte, and seasonal flavors. The pastries and muffins are also good if you want something small with your coffee. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and the whole place had an easygoing beach-town atmosphere. A very nice coffee stop before heading to the beach or walking around downtown Pismo.”

Starting with Carlos, who brought bread and opened up the service, he was the epitome of efficiency and sociology. Justin was attentive and gave us plenty of space when we weren't ready. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and there was something about the pizza where the crust seemed both light and filling. We are eager to come back on our next trip here.”

“My mom and I had been driving all day and pulled into Hoagies about 2 minutes before closing time. We asked CJ and Taylor if it would be possible to still order some food. They said they were happy to do so! Then we told them they we both have celiac disease and asked if they could give us something gluten free. They both went out of their way to read labels for us and even asked if we would like to have corn tortilla strips on our salads instead of croutons (which are not gluten free). They couldn’t have been nicer! As a plus, the food was delicious. Susan and Megan”

“I had such a wonderful experience at this Subway while visiting Pismo Beach last weekend, and I especially wanted to take a moment to recognize the owner, Seasun. She was genuinely one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve come across during our trip. ❤ Seasun was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and patient. You could tell that she truly cared about making sure everyone who came into the restaurant had a good experience. She had such a warm personality and made us feel comfortable right away. Sometimes you go into a restaurant expecting nothing more than a quick meal, but every once in a while you come across someone whose kindness really stands out, and that was definitely Seasun! Her kindness made such a difference, especially while we were traveling and stopping in for a quick meal (We told her we’re going ATVing at Pismo Beach for my cousins birthday!). It’s not every day that you meet someone who leaves such a good impression after only a short interaction, but Seasun absolutely did :) She represents the restaurant so well, and her kindness definitely made our visit memorable. We left with a smile, and honestly, I still remember how nice she was even after getting back home. Thank you so much, Seasun, for being so wonderful! We really appreciated your kindness and hospitality. ❤ If we’re ever back in Pismo Beach, we will definitely be stopping by again!”

The shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll, California roll, and dynamite roll are all good choices. They also have teriyaki bowls, ramen, udon, yakisoba, tempura, nigiri, and combination plates, so there is plenty to choose from even if someone does not want sushi. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and the prices felt reasonable for the portion sizes. It is a nice local spot when you want Japanese food without anything too formal.”

As a former waitress of 15 years, it was really impressive to see and so fun to watch! The food was absolutely spectacular, delicious beers, and if you're feeling wild, be sure to try the boozy rootbeer!! The rootbeer is also brewed in house and is some of the best I've had in my 35 years of this little life so be sure to stop by, you will not be disappointed! brownie points that they were pet friendly too! :)”

We started with the steamed clams, which were flavorful with white wine, garlic, citrus butter, and a little Calabrian chili. The house-made focaccia with whipped butter was also a nice touch. For dinner, the Pacific halibut and flat iron steak were both good choices, and the cocktails went perfectly with the rooftop atmosphere. The service was friendly, although things can move a little slower when it gets busy. Prices are on the higher side, but for us the view, food, and relaxed coastal setting made it worth it.”

Lisa was so helpful and caring, sure it messed her up for awhile too. by the way its librarian lisa. bottom line no way should a kitchen send out such a tough piece of meat, I couldnt even cut it . it was either not prepped correctly or the supplier might needs replaced? sorry we're locals and enjoy the patio and will continue for breakfast, but the dinner menu is off limits.”

“We stayed at Vespera Resort last December for a local anniversary staycation with our two dogs, and it far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we checked in, the front desk staff made us feel so welcomed and celebrated—especially Danielle, Aiden, and several other team members whose names I can't recall, but whose kindness made a lasting impression. The little touches throughout our stay, like a surprise delivery of wine and cake to our room and genuine warmth from every staff interaction, made our celebration feel truly meaningful. Thanks to this stay, we’ve already booked a return visit for our next celebration in October. We’re so grateful to the Vespera team for making our anniversary unforgettable.”

“Where do I even begin... Just don't... Look on my page on my reels and that's not even the tip of it I have more pictures. And honestly it wasn't a many thing the only thing I wanted was the sincere apology from one of the staff like a manager. Please read and more reviews will come on multiple websites so this doesn't happen to others. I booked this hotel solely because I thought that we would be able to see the fireworks on 4th of July from the balcony (im a single mom who loves to travel). When I called on 4th of July someone answered and said yes the pool in the top would be open, When I got here with my family it was not. Also the room was late because they were cleaning it and I had to wait over 40 minutes.... So I carried on with my day and then later and later as I got into my room I started hearing some noise, It was the sync bubbling up with sewage. My 1st instinct was to call the lobby they said that they would send somebody shortly, No one came so I ran to the lobby and I showed them a picture. (I had already spoken to yet another staff member who said someone will be there and shrug me off. ) After I showed him the picture then they sent a janitor still no manager apologizing. They gave me a breakfast voucher which was OK but still no official apology nothing sincere. So for $600 almost, I didn't get access to the balcony on 4th of July even before the event, My room was late because they were cleaning it, I have sewage in my sink which I have videos of dark water boiling in my restroom sink out of nowhere. In that same restroom I had to take a shower which was mind boggling. Not one manager came to apologize they did not care. They only had very few staff on site. Then the next day that I got access to the Jacuzzi I found myself cleaning it out because it had bugs in it from the event last night which tells me they did not even clean it. I don't know how many illegalities this hotel is doing but for that price charging About $600 around there They should ensure that their service meets the price tag. I've stayed at plenty of hotels cheaper ones more pricier ones and I've never had this experience the one where people have this demeanor of not caring about their customers. Go to other hotels save your money or at least a headache. There's plenty of other beautiful resorts you don't need to go through what I went through. They did not care at all they were not kind mind you I'm a single mother traveling with 2 children they did not do anything to ensure it was a good day to apologize my son cried seeing that seek filled with dark stuff bubbling .. I didn't even care about getting my money back what I cared about was getting a sincere heart fell apology something called kindness. I will continue to make an updated video in the future of my experience here with photos and videos since I was treated so poorly. Just don't do it.”
