    What a fantastic experience. The food is exceptional! Each and every dish was absolutely delicious. The pork chop was quite possibly the best one I've ever eaten. Sea scallops were amazing although there were only three of them on the plate. The herb roasted chicken was a super simple dish but it was perfectly cooked. The menu is rather limited but don't let that stop you from going because there was something for everyone in our party of 4. The only reason this wasn't 5 stars across the board was because I had ordered coffee with dessert (which was AMAZING) and we had to remind them and it came just as we were finishing - but it was delicious coffee served in a french press.

    Joseph was great. Food delicious. Manhattan clam chowder is excellent as were the scallops and the Poke tuna tower with wonton chips.

    Tristan was very nice and attentive. The beet salad followed by the sea bass and mussels is just a great combination. Then the new chocolate mouse cake was very good. Great night as always with atmosphere and staff.

    Sawyer did a great job being attentive but not pestering us. A perfect waiter. Sablefish and chicken linguini were both excellent. A dozen oysters started us off and we split the perfectly dressed Caesar salad with bacon bits and egg yolk. And the creme brûlée with biscuits and strawberry topped off a wonderful evening on the porch.

    My husband's meal was excellent; my main course, unfortunately, left much to be desired to the point that we shall not be returning to the Oyster Loft in the future. I ordered the " Grilled Duck" which was listed as coming with: Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower, Turnips, Butternut Squash Puree, Soy glaze and Citrus Sauce. There was only on half of a Brussels Sprout, two tiny Cauliflower florets, no Turnips, no Butternut Squash Puree and all veggies arrived lukewarm! In fact, so did the sauce and the duck (although the duck was cooked properly). When I mentioned some of this to our server, he dismissed my concern by telling me that the restaurant: "doesn't pile up the plate with vegetables". I wasn't talking about the presentation, just the lack of ingredients as stated in the menu. That being said, the Manhattan Clam Chowder arrived nice and hot and very delicious).

    If you love oysters, this is a must in Pismo Beach. The food, service and atmosphere are fantastic. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. The smoked old fashioned was one of the best I've had. I highly recommend.

    Restaurant, staff and food were great! The adult patrons drunk, standing in front of my 7 year old trying to watch the fireworks, not so great.
