16 Best Seafood Restaurants in Pismo Beach

“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 !

“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'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.“

“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.“
