    The hostess had a really bad idea of logic when it came to seating reservations. We came in for a special occasion and were treated like crap. Said our tables couldn’t be together, when we found out our party was downsized we asked if we could get a larger table to accommodate but it was not allowed even though there was one available and it would free up 2 additional tables. The biased and server both didn’t understand what the big deal was. We finally asked for a manager and the “non-problem” was solved immediately! It appeared that the incompetent hostess merely had a power trip combined with attitude and absolutely senseless. She clearly has the wrong job! Sad because everyone and everything else here is wonderful. If they removed the infection running the wrong show I’d say 5 stars for sure!!

    We were the servers last table and it definitely felt like it. I know what it is like to work in food service and be almost ready to leave but regardless you should give your 100% while on the job. She was nice but her attentiveness could’ve been better. It was my choice to go there for our wedding anniversary and I was a bit disappointed.

    So...the view alone is worth the visit (just breath taking). We had breakfast there (we stayed at the Inn). We had the friendliest server we've ever had. She was peppy and attentive (we couldn't help smiling each time she checked on our table). My husband had the avocado toast and I had the Spyglass Breakfast (2 eggs, choice of meet, 2 pancakes). Everything was delicious. To top it off...the price was great. We are planning on visiting Pismo again in the fall and we will definitely visit Spyglass Inn Restaurant again.

    We started out by eating outside which is beautiful but the weather was cold and getting colder. We moved inside and it was great!
