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…

Scratch Kitchen, Lompoc
Finally made it into Scratch Kitchen in Lompoc. Impressed with everything. So exciting to have a quality dining venue in a town we all spend a certain amount of time in but the food choices always come down to Phở or Tacos (Yes, there are VERY NICE examples of each in ‘The Poc’). The remodel…

5.27.15 edits and additions
CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST 26 BEACH Venice Beach Dropped to ◊ from ♦♦ a shocking down-grade, I know, but it deserves every bit. Something has happened. The two-sided board menu and separate winelist has changed to a 7-or-8-page laminated menu with a tiny selection (9 or 10 reds) of the most boring, disgusting wine imaginable….
Resty Additions 5.23.15
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST AVANT, the restaurant at Terravant Wine Company in Buellton added at ♦♦ as I was pleasantly surprised.
