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…

THE TACO LIST TACOS EL TIZON in Santa Maria added at ♦♦♦ One of my favorite taquerias on the Central Coast has expanded from their one location in Lompoc to a new spot in North Santa Maria and it is every bit as good at the original. Full rotisserie al Pastor with slabs of pineapple, THE…

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…

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…
