My partner and I decided to come here for a celebration since we love good views & good food. We made a reservation and were seated right away, which was a smooth start. However, once we sat down, we noticed a strong scent of the beach mixed with another odor, and our table had bird droppings on it; a small detail, but hard to dismiss. We politely asked to move to a different table, hoping to sit somewhere farther from where seagulls might target. We ended up seated more toward the middle, away from the edge/nice view tables, but once again, the table hadn't been cleaned. It took a few minutes for staff to wipe it down before we could settle in. We decided to move past it and focus on the food. The Butter Bread was excellent (10/10), rich, soft, & flavorful. The Steak Fries were tasty, though I asked for medium & it came out fully well-done (6/10). The Fried Chicken Sandwich was also solid (8/10), crispy and flavorful without being too heavy. Overall, the kitchen delivered on taste, which we appreciated. What fell short, unfortunately, was the overall atmosphere. We originally came for the view that's advertised so well online, but after moving tables, we lost that highlight. Instead of relaxing and enjoying a celebratory meal, we were left feeling uneasy, with the ongoing concern that seagulls could swoop or leave droppings nearby at any moment. The online marketing makes this place seem like a perfect spot for special occasions, but in practice, the proximity to the pier & the rooftop setup make it feel less polished than expected. While the food was enjoyable, the setting didn't match the celebratory experience we hoped for. With better upkeep of tables & perhaps some adjustments to address the bird issue, this could become the destination it's advertised to be.

Restaurant refused to honor reservation made through OpenTable. Did not get to actually eat since we were turned away.

Waited 45 mins to get a table. Had a table with no view, my waiter went on break and did not show up for 30 mins. Food was ok.

What are you surprisingly a great day with my sister and her friends on the rooftop. We absolutely loved it. It was like a total stay cay

This stop was a very pleasant surprise. The rooftop venue made for the perfect spot for a lunch break while driving between SoCal and NorCal; the views were stunning, the weather was glorious (bring a light jacket), the service was pretty punctual, and the food was nice and fresh. Pismo Beach Pier is just a few steps away from the hotel. Beware the seagull stalkers though. ;) Will probably stop here again on our next drive.

This place is definitely a vibe. The prices are a little bit high but other than that everything else is amazing

Although very pleasant, the service was slow and the food was just okay. Seafood dishes, being at Pismo Beach, we're expected to be exceptional but just turned out to be okay. Halibut was slightly overcooked, and clam chowder was disappointing.

Stopped here to have a couple adult beverage refreshments. Definitely recommended stop in Pismo. The bartender (forgot her name but started with a P) was very witty and funny. She even made me her special White Russian drink. Great place to stop at night and enjoy some firepit action.
Unbelievable setting but there is simply not enough personnel to serve drinks in a timely manner.

Our server was fantastic! We got in at the tail end of Happy Hour and enjoyed our smash burgers and truffle fries. No kidding, the mixed Berry shortcake....YUMMY.

We had a horrible experience here, but upon request, they did comp the whole meal. The food was quite good once it arrived, but the service was beyond awful.

Sorry, very slow service to start! I am easy to get cold and needless to say if I am that cold especially my hands my dinner will get cold in no time! The chef was great and tried to make me comfortable but it was just too cold to eat on the roof for me! I left most of my appetizers and Halibut but I guess that's the way it goes!!! What I did get to eat was great!
