Readers of this blog will know of my affection for brew-pubs and tap-rooms. NOT. Lots of un-inspired brown food, heavy on grease and salt, a winelist completely devoid of anything interesting, walls of televisions vying for your attention, and a bro-heavy clientele wearing the first thing they found on the floor that afternoon. I am…

MILESTONE TAVERN San Luis Obispo
MILESTONE TAVERN San Luis Obispo’s newest restaurant and already a serious contender in the tap-room/lunch-bites category for the area. Being a couple blocks from Cal Poly and with an emphasis on beer, I had low expectations from the beginning for anything interesting being realized. Expecting a total bro-spot, I stopped in to view the menu…
San Luis Obispo: 5 Towns 5 Restaurants
Spring has SPRUNG, and whether you are local or out-of-town, it is prime-time to take a drive up the Central Coast of California. Living where people vacation has its plusses, but the best part is knowing where to eat a bit off the path of the visiting hordes. As someone who travels throughout California…
2 Re-visits and a Grand Opening 11.21.15
FULL Soifeats RESTAURANT LIST HERE RAKU RAMEN San Luis Obispo. Was not terribly impressed when first opened. But a re-visit after almost 5 years of still being there (there’s a feat in itself!) told me I had been a little too hard on them. Ordering logistics are still awkward and lines can be long. Not much…
BOTTLE NIGHT Winelist Specials
Many restaurants proud of their wine-lists have a weekly special allowing exploration of the cellar for a deep discount. I have made a list of restaurants on the Central Coast who have made these Wine Discount Specials apparent to me. These specials are often not advertised heavily, and sometimes are discontinued during special dates, heavy…
New and Re-Visits SLO PISMO CAMBRIA + WINE
THE FULL RESTAURANT LIST Central Coast Restaurants Additions and Re-visits. CHIPWRECKED in Pismo Beach has been on my radar for several years and I just rarely make it down there into the full-on tourist-trudge by the pier. Menu overly-complicated for what it is, I’m sure a second or third visit would streamline my understanding of…

THE FULL SOIFEATS RESTAURANTS LIST SANTA YNEZ KITCHEN in Santa Ynez added at ♦♦♦ for so many reasons. Incredible winelist, perfect, calm, confident, un-hurried service, and ingredients and dishes top-quality. KUNFUSION in Pismo Beach re-visited. It always feels so *healthy* dining here. Maybe it is just the over-complicated menu. I think this restaurant would easily…

THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST Although it is also on THE TACO LIST, I am including PAPI’S GRILL on the Restaurant list because it just really isn’t classic taqueria fare and is REALLY REALLY good. The Asada-chipotle taco is mind-boggling. ♦♦ Two more successful dining experiences at HARMONY CAFE at its new location in Cambria…
Resty updates and additions 6.28
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST A revisiting of LUNA RED in San Luis Obispo. Holding steady at ♦♦ Menu has changed to a very bistro-ey single cardboard sheet but the wine list seems to have expanded considerably. I can’t help but think these moves are in response to FOREMOST WINE COMPANY moving into the…
