We needed to add salt and pepper and even used A1 sauce. I was disappointed since we were looking forward to a good steak dinner and it was my birthday dinner. The view was cloudy and rainy, but unfortunately, no pretty sunset. No fault of the restaurant.

The restaurant provides beautiful ocean views. There was a beautiful Christmas tree on display. The service was amazing! Friendly, funny, and helpful service. The Ahi salad was a great dinner along with the bread and butter (soft and sweet butter!) and calamari appetizer. Ben enjoyed his shrimp Alfredo dish and we loved the Daou rose . Would love to go back next time we are in Pismo. Best time to visit is in the winter IMO :)

Once seated, water and bread service arrived quickly and we were told waiter would be by. we waited about 10 minutes and no waiter to even take our drink order. We had to call another server to inquire and she said she would find out about our waiter. He then showed up - happy as a clam and quite personable and helpful. We were just about to get up and leave. Food was very good.

He even took his time helping us take family photo!! A heater was provided without question as some restaurants do not have enough heaters; we were thrilled as we would have had to leave as it was too cold on balcony without it & therefore everything was perfect, as usual. Delicious nachos, fried chicken & “Craft cocktails” were superior! Thank you & merry Christmas!!
