We can in July 15th on a Saturday night and We’ve been coming here for about 8 years since we are locals! It has always been our favorite spot to celebrate our anniversary, birthdays and more! The food has always been absolutely amazing!! I get the Ciopinno and my husband usually steak and our daughter love the chicken strips! As always our food was on point and delicious! But yesterday was a different experience for us! In the past we have had amazing and friendly service but this time was very disappointing! Our server was rude and made us feel not wanted and uncomfortable! Almost treated us as if we didn’t have money or something! Which is not the case! Never judge a book by its cover!! We even caught her whispering and talking about us to another employee behind the bar! When I would ask her a question it was almost as if she was annoyed with us and bothered! Needless to say we will never sit down and eat while she is serving again and we come in at least 6 times a year! Fair warning she’s the younger dark haired waitress that needs a huge attitude adjustment!

Last year I said “THE best calamari I have ever had! Came here because it was next door to our hotel. Can’t believe how good the food was! We will come back for the food no matter where we stay.”

We had a fabulously delicious dinner, Miguel the owner greeted us and sat us down right away. We started with some delicious fresh coconut shrimps and a couple of ice cold beers. I had a nice bowl of clam chowder that was thick and full of flavor. For dinner I had the day’s special snapper, mashed potatoes and fresh steamed vegetables. Lydia had shrimp Alfredo and pasta. Let me say this, everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor that were out of this world. We ended our dinning experience with a no flower chocolate cake for Lydia and I had the house special Orange ice cream. If you are ever in San Simeon or just traveling through we totally recommend that you stop and have a five star meal and tell Miguel that Lydia and Robert sent you.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just had dinner we ordered the coconut shrimp as our appetizer. They were delicious! My husband ordered the poached salmon and I ordered the sea bass both were served with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. They also served fresh sourdough rolls. Everything was super tasty and fresh. We very much enjoyed our food and wonderful service. The reviews of this place are right on. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you

One of my colleagues recommended this place. Ben was awesome. He tolerated our very energetic family having a good time, and made us laugh even more! All of the food was amazing as well. Great time!

I had the Sampler Platter with a glass of Chardonnay from Hearst Ranch Winery. The food presentation was appealing and the food smell of this hot platter was wonderful. I took my time to enjoy the flavors. What a wonderful surprise to find this restaurant. Very clean and sanitary facility.

Definitely not a kid friendly place even though they have a kids menu, if you want to call it that. Small portions . Family of 6 left still hungry . Manager watched our family the whole time making sure we left quicker then the older higher paying patron that was there before an after we left . An server gave herself a 30 dollar tip even though she was awful .. said because our bill was $200 or more …. if you are not good at your job you should not tip yourself.

Clean place, but I got there to sit and eat after a long days of work 12 hours. The lady that was attending she was in the back possibly talking to the cook. They were talking about shots of tequila I think I was standing up for 10 mins. As she came out she saw me and I asked her for a menu and I asked her I ordered and told her I wanted to sit down and eat there. Then she kept asking if i wanted it packed to go. I replied and said well I don’t want to carry it cause they gave me room upstairs and have other things to carry. She looked at me and said I can pack it to go and I finally said okay gave her my card and paid the bill. she gave me the ice tea and then after a while I got the food and got to the room and the roll was hard as a rock the sauce was spilled all over the bag. What a waste and cold. I wanted to dine in but this place did not allow it.
