This is a beautiful property and I took a visiting friend for brunch. The menu was so underwhelming for brunch options. Maybe 2 egg dishes, no omelettes, benedict _ I ended up ordering a salad because it was so limited. I also ordered a Mimosa which was maybe 3 ozs? I almost said something but at that point we just made note not to come back. Expensive, small portions, the place was empty. Customers like value and exciting food and this place missed the mark.

Been to Granada Bistro a couple of times. We were not aware of the “fixed price” menu they had last night. There needs to be a way to tell people that the regular menu is not available.

Worthy restaurant to visit in SLO. Food and ambience were fantastic. Burger was one of the best I’ve ever had - beef patty was uniquely and insanely flavorful. Tritip steak and the bean / fennel brodo were also highlights - fresh and well seasoned. Sides weren’t notable. Service however was terrible. Grumpy and dumb waiters, serving appetizers at the same time as the main (and only one main, not all for the table). Net net, still worth going for the food!

The ambience here is lovely, but the food has been steadily going downhill. Pricey without quality or quantity. Reduced portions and not as listed on the menu- we ordered these items as described on their menu: BABY GEM | $18 red baby gem lettuce, shaved stone fruit, puffed quinoa, shallot vinaigrette TUNA TATAKI* | $22 seared tuna, mango-sweet chili marinade, cilantro purée, spicy pickled vegetable slaw, crispy tortilla What we received was 5 pieces of seared tuna that was miniscule, maybe 1 by 2 inches amidst a small smattering of tiny tortilla strips, and a few sliced radishes, a couple dots of cilantro purée and lightly drizzled with likely Trader Joe's chili marinade. The salad was a plain romaine salad with oil and vinegard dressing-- no puffed quinoa, or shaved stone fruit and the vinaigrette was plain and had no shallots. We were celebrating a birthday, and had a good time in spite of the meal being a major disappointment for the price and not being as advertised. Sadly, I will not go here again and it used to be a favorite restaurant.

The food was great. There were four of us and we all got something different so we could share. The portions are just enough that is more than enough for all of us to share. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and they were generous to give us a free dessert. Our waitress was great. Friendly and very accomodating too. Overall a very nice evening celebrating birthdays.
