6DEGREES Orcutt 9.22.2015
THE FULL RESTAURANTS LIST 6DEGREES in Orcutt is the newest Central Coast restaurant in an area which inevitably represents near-exclusive rights to the best dining in Santa Maria. With the recent–and very sad–closing of MarketSM, one can safely say there is not a restaurant worth eating at North of Clark Avenue. We NEARLY walked out…
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 Spoon Trade Grover Beach
THE SPOON TRADE in Grover Beach is the newest in an ever-expanding group of Central Coast restaurants to open in the collective Arroyo Grande-Grover Beach-Pismo Beach area. Two visits in, I can safely say it comfortably completes an EMBER-COMFORT MARKET-SPOON TRADE trifecta for amazing, quality food, daringly conceived and perfectly presented. From the tartare to…
Rooster Creek Tavern Arroyo Grande
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST ROOSTER CREEK TAVERN Several years in and this place still packs it in every night–and most lunches–serving above-average food in a pleasant atmosphere. Remember, this was the FIRST serious resty to come to Arroyo Grande. Those of us who have lived here for any number of years remember the days…
Resty Notes 8.28.15
THE FULL RESTAURANT LIST THE SIX Decided to try this “Gastro-Pub” because one recently opened here in Arroyo Grande (MASON BAR) and have visited a couple times and just am not all that blown away. And… a good way to get a grip on an evolving food-trend is to experience it in LA or SF….
Dudley Market, Bell St. Mason Bar 8.22.15
THE FULL RESTAURANT LIST DUDLEY MARKET Happened upon the BRAND NEW addition on Dudley Street in Venice Beach. Been open a little over a week. It is in the infamous corner location on Speedway and Dudley where Henry’s Market has been a fixture for decades. Almost kinda sad, but there’s fewer bums now. Of course…
Resty Updates 8.9.15
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…
My Generation GIUSEPPE’S EXPRESS
I love GIUSEPPE’S EXPRESS in Pismo Beach for lots of things: gelato, salads, wonderful desserts, deli meat and Italian grocery items–wine, olive oil and pasta–but also for their simple little dry panini cold sandwiches stacked up in the case just like they sell on the street in France. I had two this week–with interesting results….
Resty Add: Figueroa Mt. Brewing AG
THE CENTRAL COAST RESTAURANTS LIST FIGUEROA MOUNTAIN BREWING COMPANY is finally open in Arroyo Grande and while I am not a beer-drinker, this is probably the most exciting restaurant to come to town. Yes, the past couple years have brought us a plethora of quality dining options but a local hot, hip hi-vis chain like this…
