Several restaurants added to THE Soifeats RESTAURANT LIST… All in SLO… all I have had the opportunity–or misfortune–to dine at on numerous occasions and almost all are part of the downtown-ish midtown lunch or pub core.

THE OYSTER LOFT Pismo Beach
THE OYSTER LOFT Pismo Beach: Oh wow, rarely has a restaurant been so excitedly anticipated and taken so long to be realized. I went to this resty probably 4 months ago for a special BUBBLY FEST event and have been waiting patiently for it to open to the public ever since. Rumors of soft-openings began…

Nice atmosphere, well-rounded menu and winelist. Lots of local Carmel Valley wines, which is nice because–other than a few bottlings of Talbott and…
Mersea’s, Bayside, REVOLUTION
MERSEA’S Avila Beach added at ♦ Highly anticipated new restaurant on the Harford Pier in Avila Beach owned by Dorn’s and a sister-resty to Duckies in Cayucos. Beautiful new building, nicely appointed, lovely spot. The food leaves a lot to be desired. Let’s be honest, this is a tourist spot and whatever location the Dorn…

The restaurant list in the PREVIOUS POST is current and constantly evolving. I update and edit the original list rather than posting additional modifications as the restaurant scene evolves daily around us.
