    Easter brunch disappointing at $39+. No Easter decorations, no champagne or other signature beverage etc. Fixed price menu was a bit odd, made some choices over priced and other items reasonable. Dessert should have been included. Food wise, Chicken and Waffles - way overcooked fried chicken blackened almost, waffles looked sad. Hamburger choice was small but fat patty made it difficult to eat. Salmon kind of small, not the freshest. Salad with strawberry was best thing served. Overall disappointing. Too bad, staff is friendly, place has decent ambiance, food seems to be holding them back. Pretty surprising how empty it was at noon on Easter Sunday.

    What a wonderful surprise. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old hotel. The service was prompt, and courteous - just right. Food was excellent; had the Brussel Sprout Pizza - a real winner! The chicken fried steak and The Steak Oscar, both done just right. We will return on our next visit to the area.

    We chose to make reservations to eat at the hotel we were staying at after a full day of wine tasting - despite the reviews. We were sadly disappointed. While our waitress was attentive and kind, the seafood chowder was flavorless and had just a scant amount of seafood. The seafood pasta in a cream sauce so was tasteless we returned it. We were clearly unhappy but no one other than our very sweet waitress came to check and find out what was wrong. To the credit of the restaurant, we were given the choice of another meal which was much better. (The 1/2 roasted chicken). The mashed potatoes were grey and visually unappealing though - decided not to even try them. We also ordered the 16oz grilled ribeye which was very good. I think there are a few dishes they probably do very well. I am inclined to not go back though. The next time I am in Atascadero, I will still stay at the Carlton - great hotel - but I will find another place to eat dinner.
