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. The wine service and selection is outstanding and the food slightly above average. There is a decided *almost-cafeteria* sorta feel but they pull it off in lovely fashion. Looking forward to visiting again….

Taco additions 5.2.15
THE TAQUERIA LIST Added PAPI’S GRILL in Pismo Beach at ♦♦ Gotta work some logistical bugs out, but food–though NOT CLASSIC TAQUERIA FARE–is excellent. The Chipotle Asada taco is to die for.

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…
Taco Additions 4.20
THE FULL TACO LIST GARCIA’S MEXICAN RESTAURANT Atascadero added at a stellar ♦♦ FINALLY a place for tacos in Atascadero. I have long disparaged this town for its plethora of Mexican Restaurants–and the complete horridness of all of them. Seriously, if you want to experience the worst Mexican food on the planet, hit up any of…
