Wonderful service with Maria as our server, drinks and view were amazing. Every table had its own sanitizer, clean bathrooms and we felt safe.
Friendly, helpful service, great location. Food was solid, not great.
So great! Ocean view and the food was fantastic! Would go back!
It was my birthday celebration and we had a wonderful experience. The chef Robert was so gracious and came over to talk with us and made us feel welcome and special. Will definitely return. The presentation of the food and taste was amazing.
Food, service and menu options were great!
No one is perfect!
Maria was awesome! Will definitely be back. Good and drinks were amazing. Beautiful evening
There was no one at the roof top and down stairs told us we had to make a reservation to go up there. No big deal because everywhere has different policies due to covid. We went to make a reservation and it was wide open but the soonest time we could make was 20 min out. We made the reservation and asked if we could go up early because it looked like it was wide open but we just booked the earliest available. They told us we had to wait until closer to our reservation. We waited out front for 10-15 min to then go up and see that it was completely empty (one other table). Not horrible service once we were up there, but slow for as few people there were up there. Beautiful view though.
The food was excellent but the menu was way too small / limited. The wait staff was helpful and kind.
Had steak. Fried Asparagus with creamy sauce. Endive salad. Great service. Overlooking pismo pier. Great chef.
It was cold and windy so food got cold fast. The wind kept turning heaters off. Beautiful look out to the ocean and both romantic and family friendly. Went there twice. Would have been nice to get steak knife for steak. We did enjoy Sunday more than Saturday.
Our server Steve was awesome. Checked in on us pretty often and our food was delicious. Will definitely come back and next time with extra layer for the cold
It is a very beautiful rooftop bar/lounge. We went after 8pm so we left early due to the wind. We wish we went during the day time. My only complaint is $15 dollars for shoots. That is a little two much to charge for a bottle that is 40 dollars. I was very disappointed in that. Other then that I recommend the scenery. Good customer service too!
Our visit was amazing. We were the only 2 on the whole patio seating area. The weather was cold but we were able to have a heater next to us. We wish the menu was bigger but overall it was a good experience. I loved the watermelon drink our waitress recommended for me!
The wife and I had the 10 course brunch. Everything was great the food,drinks and awesome views
Amazing, totally worth it. Definitely would come again.
We had Family Brunch, very good food, but unfortunately it took 4 hours and it was FREEZING, windy up there on the top, they don’t have enough outdoor heaters, I would not recommend the 10 course Brunch it took too long, and not worth the wait.
Don’t go Hungary because it took a long time to get our food.
When it came it was great.
Limited menu. And expensive for what you get. The roof top is great! The service was great too.
Food was ok, service ok, I will not go back. Menu was poor what we did want they were out of muscles and scallops. They asked us to leave at 9:30 on a Friday night while we were vitiating with friends horrible service.
It was terrible. Not sure how they could mess up hummus but they did! Served me OLD Celery, and OLD WILTED Broccoli on the side of dried up bread and bidder hummus. Asked for water with lemon and received water with floating white stuff in the water with out the lemon. Coffee was served to my husband that was "just made" cold. It was just a terrible experience and we will not go back and would not recommend it unless you need a picture of the pier.....
Terrible service. It took us 40 minutes to get our food and our appetizers and dinner came together. The drinks were terrible.
Friendly staff but nothing really good about our dining experience. Pricey as they automatically add a 22% gratuity.
Mackenna made the experience 5 stars! She was working so hard to make sure everything was as expected! We are so happy to have beautiful rooftop dining for our family celebrations! We are looking forward to weekend brunch in March. Living nearby still feels like magic to watch the sun drop into the ocean over a glass of wine and beautifully prepared scallops. This is the best the central coast has to offer!
The food was delicious! There was an excellent selection of beverages as well. The clam chowder and lobster beet salad were both tasty and a good size portion. The sunset was spectacular! Dress warmly if you are eating outdoors in February. Both our hostess and waitress were very kind, and the service was excellent. It was exactly what our party of 6 was looking for, and we will be back!
Amazing!!!!!
Gorgeous spot but dinner service was so bad we couldn’t leave fast enough. Server did not attempt to apologize or make things better & we were overcharged for our wine. The afternoon drinks were great & service was good. We were hotel guests so we had to try it
Great sunset view of the sky, surf, and Pismo Beach pier. Service and parking were an issue at first because valet parking was for guests only and the food sever has to take the elevator to the kitchen but her kindness and warmth more than made up for the delays.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant. We had a blast
Food was good..swordfish was excellent..however the chicken was not great and overpriced at $30..the chairs and table are plastic and could use some cushions..
It was meh. My daughter’s clam chowder was inedible. My scallops were waaaaay too salty. Server was very accommodating.
Customer service great! Food excellent! Drinks great!
I went to dinner for valentine’s day and this place was advertised completely different than it was. The service was so slow and the people didn’t even notice us and we waited about 30 min before someone realized we hadn’t even gotten water yet. They didn’t ask how i would like my meat cooked and my burger was very rare. They also gave us plastic cups while everyone else had glass . I wouldn’t recommend going here .
Food was nasty waitress was slow patio heater was broken
We had a beautiful Valentine's Day dinner. Everything was fantastic.
Great experience, had a great time, staff was very friendly and did a great job although they were busy!
Pretty poor for a valentines dinner, well we didnt have dinner - the houmous was disgusting so we just had a drink and left.
Excellent spot to see the ocean and Pismo pier, highly recommend. Food was outstanding and service was very good. We had the fried chicken, claim chowder and sea scollops...delicious.
Poor service. After being seated, it took over 10 minutes for server to arrive. Cocktails were delayed and heavy on ice. Appetizers were excellent (roasted cauliflower and beet salad). Our dinner order wasn’t entered into system so it too was delayed. We asked for water 3 times and it never arrived. Will not return until we hear it is under new management.
Disappointing/limited menu. Ceviche was rubbery/overdone and we sent it back. Endive salad was skimpy and flavorless, as was the hummus appetizer. Beautiful setting and ambience and the service was very good but the menu and food need work! Stick to drinks and enjoy the view!
It’s was really chilly for outside dining and the food was mediocre
It was awesome
