    Incredible views are a main attraction of this classy restaurant. The fried calamari was crunchy on the outside and tender on the chew. The best salad was a delightful change of pace. My pork chop was very good and Val’s scallop and shrimp over spinach was a little too spicy for her taste, but she finished all of it. Overall very good, but a tad expensive.

    We live down in San Clemente and visit family up in this area often. We make a point of dining here every trip if possible. The views are spectacular, the service perfect, and the food is always worth the tr .

    We are UK based so this was only our 3rd ever visit to Ventana Grill, but as with previous visits, the food was exceptional. What let this particular visit down was the disjointed service we received. This included drinks not arriving at the table together, main meals arriving midway through our appetiser, table not fully cleared before desert, and then deserts arriving at separate times. For the money, the food standard is worth every penny, just the service could have been tidier and perhaps less rushed on this occasion.

    We come to Ventana Grill every time we visit Avila Beach. My sister and I love to split the Pasta Del Mariscos, which is full of delicate fish in a wonderful, slightly spicy sauce (Spicy Scale: 2 of 10). My BIL orders the Carnitas Burrito (big appetite!) and friends have ordered the beefy hamburger or fish tacos. The fresh tortillas, honey butter and 3 salsas (made on-site) are fresh with a slight kick to wake the senses. They’ve updated the menu recently. You must try the chicken flautas to share with a group or as an entree. So fresh, they’ll melt in your mouth. Enjoy the local wine selection or a cocktail from the bar. The view of the ocean is spectacular and you’ll enjoy how close the pelicans fly near the windows. Do not miss this special restaurant!

    Food & drink delicious, with some more interesting choices than other restaurants in the area. The fresh house-made tortillas are special. Service is consistently good. And of course the views are fabulous.
