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!!!

Koberl At Blue is one of our new favorite fine dining restaurants in downtown San Luis Obispo, located in the beautiful historic J.P. Andrews building.
We came during the Christmas holiday and loved the decorations, warm lights, and cozy ambiance.
We were seated upstairs at a perfect private table for two. We ordered the Sautéed Duck Breast and Seared Ahi. Everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. Our server answered all our questions and was very helpful.
We’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes. Do make reservation ahead of time.

Always great service and good. Visit everytime in town.

We really enjoyed ourselves at Koberl !!! The food was top-notch and the server went out of his way to assure everything was perfect, including making sure my allergy concerns were 100% addressed. They were definitely chef-driven with more interesting (and tasty) recipes and platings than we see at other establishments. The star was the server who was not only professional, but incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and options. We would go back in a heartbeat. Heck! I want to head over now! ;-)

Amazing dining experience place is constantly packed so I recommend making a reservation!

Service and the atmosphere was good. I was disappointed in the bison, short rib. The chef did not remove the membrane. This is an absolute must with ribs. It was so tough, a knife would not cut through it. I had to peel the meat off. The food was pricey and I expected a little bit more care in the preparation.
Samantha Padreddii
We had some oysters and wine at the bar and they were the best oysters I’ve had in California! Great service too!

Ryan was one of our servers for my husband’s annual work Christmas party and she went above and beyond with her service. Aside from that, food was amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
Pat Wong
Excellent food and service. Always a treat to dine at Koberl At Blue for any special occasion. The specials are delicious, as are the menu items. The wine menu has some interesting and surprisingly good choices.
Just ask the server if there are any questions. They are great.
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are busier, so reservations are recommended for larger parties to set up.
It's not inexpensive, but well worth the dining experience with the spouse/SO, family, and good friends.
Parking downtown can be challenging, a big suggestion is to take a picture of the license plate before going to use the pay kiosk or if not already saved in the app.
Parking: Paid street parking near the restaurant and paid garage parking a block other two away.

Ungenuine service and outdated in its cooking including payment methods. = Old school. Traditional restaurant with good balance in seasoning. Lavacake is like a sticky cake & does not hold up to standard.
The service was good! But the food not so much! To start we had calamari, which was cooked in old oil and had no seasoning. For our entrees we had ribeye which had a dirty grill flavor. I had the ahi tuna which had zero seasoning. I wouldn’t recommend this place!

We were in the mood for a nice steak and lobster and happened to come across this place . My wife called and they had a cancelation great! . To make a long story short the food and our waitress were excellent.! We met the owner and I told her that this was the best dinner we have had in a long long time . We can't wait to go back. Lucky couple in Ventura to have found a place like this!!!! 2/24

Very disappointed. Went with some friends to celebrate a birthday. The staff embarrassed one friend for some reason I didn't understand, which put a dampener on the whole experience. I ordered duck which was inedible and had to send it back. Really wasn't worth going to for the prices charged. None of us will be going back.
