The menu was challenging initially (in a good way)! I LOVE going somewhere with new & different menu items, learning about new food….especially when the waitstaff is SO helpful, so professional, offering fabulous suggestions throughout the meal. Can’t wait to return and enjoy one of your delicious Pismo Sours 😄

Lovely dinner in cheesy but charming steakhouse. Food was delicious with large portions plus comes with sides, salad and bread. You won’t leave hungry. It was a quiet Sunday night but there was still a one man’s band and people dancing. Great people watching as well. Will definitely be back!
