    We really had a wonderful lunch there after walking around the Pismo beach pier. The service was excellent and food was amazing. I had my two year old with me and when the host checked us in, she immediately providing my child crayons and drawing paper. The server was excellent and very attentive. Would definitely come back if I visit the area next time.
