    I typically love the Sea Venture and it's why we came for my husband's birthday! This visit was just not great. The food simply wasn't very tasty and instead dry (I had the salmon - the fish, mashed potatoes and carrots all seemed overcooked and dry), service was relatively slow, but we did have a 7pm reservation, and the noise level did make it harder to have a conversation at times. The view was spectacular, but without great food, the evening fell a bit flat. We'll be back, but maybe not on a Monday...

    My boyfriend and I dined at the Sea Venture to celebrate my birthday. Our waiters were extremely polite and friendly. I ordered the chocolate lava cake (delicious) and they brought it out to me with a cute candle + said it was on the house since it was my birthday! I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I’d dine there again.

    Enjoyed the swordfish! The only downside is the lack of side options for the entré. I am not a fan of risotto. Would’ve preferred a rice option. Not a big deal.

    We’ve never been here before and what a pleasant surprise. The food, our view and especially our waiter Shane, were fabulous. Can’t wait to come back.

    Thank you to The Sea Venture Restaurant for a wonderful meal. We sat outside and watched whales playing around. Jim, our waiter, is what you want in a waiter, attentive, gracious, accommodating, funny and nice. The last waiter we experienced at a high end Italian place, in Pismo, acted like he was doing us a favor by waiting on us. That was the vibe we all received. But not Jim. He did a good job. Can’t wait to go back.

    Excellent food, right by Pismo beach. We could see some whales on the horizon swimming and jumping out of the water. Wonderful atmosphere!
