    A bit cold for an evening dinner so dress accordingly. Service was excellent and very accommodating. Salads were good but not great. We had the chicken and the portion was large but flavor was just average. Too many other good choices in town for this to stand out as one to choose.

    I wish I'd gotten the name of our server. She was wonderful. We really enjoyed our dinner. We hadn't been to Granada Bistro since before COVID. Was glad to see items on the menu that weren't as meat-dependent as previous visits.

    Lovely evening dinner outside at Granada Bistro. We had just dropped our student at Cal Poly and were looking forward to dinner. Lovely setting, good heaters - we brought blanket but we didn’t need it. Great service, recommend the fried brie and I had the sea bass which was v good. Daughter had the lamb burger and was good with a lot of Moroccan spice. My wife’s pasta was very average tbh - probably won’t order that again. Drinks were ok, first round cocktail for my wife didn’t taste of much and my wine pour looked a little small. Second round brought a much larger pour and a better cocktail. We really liked this place - we’ll be back!

    Waitress was super helpful with the very interesting, unique menu. She made some outstanding suggestions. Gikven this was our first visit, we needed them. Food was outstanding. Probably one of the best food taste experiences I ever enjoyed. She helped is with the wine decision and it was nice to find out Wednesdays its half off day. We will definitely be back!

    The breakfast was good but not great. I had the chicken and waffles and it all seemed pretty dry. I wouldn’t order that again. The French press coffee was weak but everyone else enjoyed what they ordered. The servers were very nice and attentive. Love the outdoor seating.

    We dined at Granada Bistro for our anniversary and our server, Doug, took excellent care of us. Granada Bistro has a creative drink and food menu- everything we ordered was fantastic! We’ve eaten here quite a few times, and we will continue to return. It’s a great place to go with friends or on a date night.

    Worst-meal-ever. We were a party of 4 celebrating the anniversary of a business venture. We are locals and have been to the Granada before; I had been there about 1 week prior and had a wonderful meal with great service. So much so that I recommended The Bistro as the place for our celebration - now regretfully and I am embarrassed that I picked this as our dining option. The cocktails and appetizers were nice - we got the fried Shishito Peppers. On Wednesday they offer 1/2 price bottles of wine (a surprising perk that we found out about when we got there) and had a bottle of white with dinner. We ordered salads. I got the Beet and Bleu Cheese on Arugula; the greens were wilted and pushed around as if they ran out of lettuce, chunks of beets, and a smidge of bleu cheese - meh. The Ceasar Salad was good. We all ordered the Sea Bass. Awful. The tiniest piece of fish ever, one minuscule potato, and one person's sad little potato was burnt. We ordered two sides of green beans to share; mine tasted fishy, fishy green beans...yuck, disgusting - I didn't finish them. Unpalatable. We didn't complain at that time, but we should have sent it all back. We ordered dessert; the 15-Minute Brownie (hard to go wrong with a brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream) and after-dinner drinks. The wait staff is great and the ambiance is lovely, but that is only part of why we were there. We expected decent entrees, not the sadness that was served. Waking up the next morning I thought more about it; I was so offended by the terrible entrees, and the $400 bill that came along with it, that I called and reported how bad it was to a manager who was very sympathetic. I was assured that a General Manager would ring me back, but it has been two days and crickets.

    The service was amazing. The service make up for the shortcoming of the food. We ordered two steaks- one was med rare and the other med. both came out as med well. We did not bother to have it change because we were too hungry. We ordered desserts, it took almost 30-40 mins for two scoop of ice cream and a creme brûlée. Although the dessert became complimentary because of their tardiness. The ice cream was served in a cup with no berries or garnish. The coconut creme brûlée has no coconut flavor at all.

    Been coming here for years. Menu has gotten less diverse. Prices have continued to rise like everywhere but the quality of the menu has not even stayed the same. The juxtaposition is disappointing. Also, why are there two jalapeño paste signature cocktails?

    Drinks are all ice, added shrimp to the soba noodle salad… $11 for 3 pieces of small shrimp. Asparagus salad should be renamed to the spinach salad. Very few pieces of asparagus. Our server was amazing and extremely polite. Overall good just disappointed in cost and portions. Used to be amazing now just good.

    We had a wonderful dining experience. The food, the service, the ambiance were excellent. The building is an old brick hotel with a great vintage feel. We especially enjoyed the Borracha Shrimp Appetizer and the Brussels Sprouts dish. Incredible combination of flavors. The meats and pasta were also very good, home made pasta and blue cheese mashed potatoes! Definitely will be a repeat place on our next trip to SLO.
