    From walking through the door to leaving after dinner everything was Exceptional. Seated immediately. Shane was our waiter and was attentive ( without being over the top) through our meal. Helped us with selections. Food was also Wonderful. Seafood dishes, chowder and steak were enjoyed by all. Interesting Cocktails and Lava cake for dessert! Yum

    Hello we live close to the Sea venture , so often we bring our guest to this restaurant, due to the beautiful views . This time we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. We used to really luv the shrimp Tacos / this time , they were soaked with some kind of brown looking sauce very salty couldn’t even enjoy the shrimp at all ! And we ordered lettuce wraps there was a tiny bowl ! Of chicken “ And tried one bite the chicken was completely over salty also ! We are Sierra Nevada beer drinkers and each time we go here the Beer is not cold at all “ we spent 300 on 5 people ! We don’t mind as long as the food is excellent “: please have your chef taste the food he’s serving! And turn up your Beverage refrigerator! Please “: From Pismo Beach Ca

    The ocean view drew us in but the food was the star. The Brussel sprout appetizer was on point as was the pork belly/scallop entree. The other entrees and salad items were delicious as well.

    Restaurant Month was an outstanding value. That said, Sea Venture is always an exceptional experience no matter when you go! The attention, quality, preparation, service, views, are just superb. No pretense, just a friendly, welcoming atmosphere be you a local or a visitor.

    Great Dinner at Sea Venture. We were celebrating a special birthday and had a great table with a beautiful view of the Pismo Beach sunset. We ordered the Surf n Turf special and it did not disappoint! The Filet was cooked perfectly and the Lobster was one of the best we have ever had!. The staff was extremely friendly and provided us with an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend Sea Venture!
