As always the food was amazing. We love coming here. I had the salmon and my husband had the scallops. Both were very good. We started with the charbroiled oysters which ate one of our favorite. Our waiter Cameron is one of reasons we come back. He goes above and beyond to make our meal experience a great one.

Wonderful meal all around - excellent time. We brought someone who had a gluten allergy and they made fantastic accommodations for her. The tuna poppers were definitely on the tiny side and I remembered them just a couple months ago being giant / large - so I think we all remarked that the food size was tiny and small and slightly noticeable by everyone to the point remarks were made organically - I mention this as I think it was 5 stars across - even the desert which is salted Carmel ice cream in a basket made of Carmel atop bananas foster, but we knocked it down to 4 due to the portion size. Great place for a special occasion overlooking the Pismo Pier and San Luis Harbor

One of my favorite restaurants on the Central Coast. From the staff and service to the food and views, the Oyster Loft is exceptional. The food was incredible! We indulged on a half dozen kumiai oysters from Baja, Brussel sprouts, filet mignon, Creme Brule and a few cocktails. The oysters were phenomenal; fresh, in season and the perfect size. The dried cherries in the brussel sprouts were a wonderful touch. The filet was perfectly cooked. The creme Brule was creamy and delightful. Everything was above and beyond expectations. Bonus is the accessibility; my partner who's in a wheelchair was able to access upstairs via an elevator accessible through the downstairs restaurant Wooley's. Our waiter and the entire staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive, especially to my partners accessibility needs. Looking forward to our next visit

Our food was outstanding. However the server was surly to both me and my husband independently. We had a large tab for a group of 4 with drinks, appetizer and dessert which was to be expected. We brought our own wine which the server took off the tab due to the late table service with drinks and water. My husband also had to seek out the server for our check. Really? They weren’t that busy! We love this restaurant and it’s cuisine and location but the service can be spotty.

Excellent appetizers - tuna tataki, cooked oysters, sashimi combo, and jalapeño poppers! Then we had a beet salad with some berries and cheese and it hit the spot. Finally ended with the risotto and salmon as our mains. For desert we couldn’t recommend the basket made of Carmel with Carmel ice cream atop bananas foster more! It was outstanding! That desert should win awards haha!

6:15 reservation was on time on News Years Eve with a dimly lit, quiet table for 2. Quick greeting of water, drinks, menu specials, and introduction with Cameron. Note: they were out of halibut. Many options on the menu and we decided on the Manhattan clam chowder and a chopped Cesar salad to start. 30 minute wait and never saw Cameron. The avoidance was noticeable. The salad was full of flavor but served at room temperature and a large bowl of tasty chowder but no bread was available this night. I missed it with the chowder! It was a slow start but the main course of scallops was delicious and the pork chop a delight! To full for dessert but offered 3 choices. We will return but go with several small plates to share.

AGAIN totally wonder yummy experience. We brought one of our friends along for dinner. She got the pork chop as did my wife and I. TOTAL deliciousness. We followed it up with the new on the menu bread pudding with warm bourbon sauce. Our waiter was great. Sarah the manager was there with her smile and wanting to check on everything.
