- CCharlesVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •31 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoThe food is always very good. I ordered the best clam chowder I ever had....lots of clams. My wife order the osso buco entree and liked it EXCEPT the underlying spinach was bland, uncooked, & unseasoned. I ordered the tomahawk Kurobota port chop. It was excellent as well as the creamy mashed potatoes and cheesy string beans. The views are spectacular, BUT, this time was the first time we ever had POOR service. She took forever! Our previous 7 dinners there had excellent service. The menu could use another fresh fish entree. I would suggest that Marisol's chef also offer an entree of their Lamb lollipops appetizer. Their ice cream choice is very limited to only vanilla and it's a small serving.More infoMarisol at the Cliffs Hotel and SpaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Pismo Beach•4.8

Discover Avila Beach
A small coastal community tucked away on the San Luis Obispo Bay, Avila Beach attracts wine lovers, boating enthusiasts, and food aficionados in equal measure. The town is unique in that its rich soil supports several ranches in addition to locally-grown fruits and vegetables. It is thus not unusual for its restaurants to source its menu ingredients locally. Upscale-casual eateries feature entrée items like free-range half-chicken served with potato gratin, braised greens, and a Madeira chicken demi-glace. Seafood is also a menu staple with offerings ranging from clam chowder and stuffed prawns to a lightly breaded and grilled fresh rock cod. Additionally, several wineries in the area offer periodic tastings.
