Resty Edits and Additions to The List
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST Added OCEAN GRILL Avila Beach at ♦♦ Well done, good service, Interesting winelist, food excellent. Lowered CHOP STREET Pismo Beach to ♦ because lunch-time ordering logistics are so awkward, wine list has become boring, food still excellent. Added EUREKA! San Luis Obispo which had been forgotten somehow even though I…
Pismo, and SIDECARSLO re-visits + TAPROOM
SEA VENTURE Pismo Beach continues to barely scrape by at ♦♦ Keep wanting to really love this restaurant and while things are rarely *dreadful*, it just never pleases at the level many in the area expect it to. Re-visited recently and as usual, a few things were stunning (abalone app) and several other items continued on the…
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…
Kitchenette, Upper Crust and Budget Cafe SLO
KITCHENETTE in Templeton added at ♦ Emphasis on the ‘ette’. Curt menu, and small items. Fun little Ladies-Who-Lunch items delicate-sized and beautiful. Winelist not published, you point at a regional map on the wall and receive something from their extremely limited grouping of forgettable Paso super-market wines. People rant and rave about this place–I’m kinda…
Taco additions 1.28
COMPLETE TAQUERIA LIST HERE CHRONIC TACOS San Luis Obispo added at ◊ Yes, a chain but hey, I have to try! Honestly not that bad. Everything was horrible, don’t get me wrong, but totally do in a pinch. TACO KING San Luis Obispo added at ◊◊ Horrible dyed-red shiny meat; Salsa game exceedingly weak. Asked…
Foremost Wine Company
It’s a RESTAURANT! It’s A WINE-SHOP! It’s a LOUNGE! Wait. What is it?! It is only San Luis Obispo’s newest dining concept and I say concept only because ‘experience’ was taken–several times–and just really doesn’t do the whole package justice. Now that Foremost Wine Company is fully open, it is prime time to get yourself…

Foremost Wine Company added.
Steamers Pismo
About once every 5 years I am required to eat at Steamers for some reason or another… Ya know, it’s honestly not *that bad* of a restaurant, all things considered. Ambience is great; Tablecloths; Quite professional service (observing both my table and several around me with other waiters); Everyone over 50 is dressed for dinner–and…
Sidecar
Finally got into Sidecar’s new incarnation today. The menu on the wall is gone and in its place is a banner advertizing beer beer and moar beer. The art-nouveau/absinthe/speak-easy motif is gone and in it’s place just drab grey walls and funky furniture. The wine list is very deep and well-thought-out and the food is…
