First off. I want to thank Cameron for taking care of me and my wife. Dinner was amazing and his suggestions and descriptions of what we were about to eat was spot on and delicious. The duck was amazing and my wife loved her sablefish. We had the beef tataki which was a first and it was all sorts of yum. An the desert was the perfect finish. We will be back for sure.

We were seated at the bar which ended up being a great choice because the bartenders were fun to interact with throughout our meal. They were very knowledgeable about the menu and oyster selection. I wish I could tell you about the sashimi dish pictured, but my wife enjoyed it too much to share. I had the tuna poke tower and it was absolutely delicious. The main feature of this restaurant is their fresh oysters, and you won’t find anywhere better in Pismo for those.

Just had the oyster, but wow! They were so fresh and the ones we had were from New Zealand. Such a refreshing, meaty oyster flavor. And I’ve tried a lot of oysters.

I’ve been here several times with my wife and friends and we have never been let down. Always try for the patio window seats to get a great view. Everything we ordered was superb in flavor and the service was top tier.

The Oyster Loft in Pismo Beach, CA, is a seafood gem! The oceanfront ambiance creates a serene atmosphere. The food is amazing, with wild mushroom risotto stealing the show. The bar staff deserves applause, delivering exceptional service. Especially Dane. Sitting at the bar was a treat as they skillfully prepared cocktails, like the standout “Anti-Viral” with its grapefruit vapor bubble—a true sensory delight. Impeccable service, remarkable drinks, and an unforgettable dining experience await at The Oyster Loft.

OK, so the food is 4.8 stars. Whoever the chef is over here, truly knows what he’s doing. The sauces that accompanied the scallops and duck breast were so balanced and flavorful that when I took the first bite of each of those dishes, I blurted out “oh my god” and trust me that’s not typical of me lol. Really top notch ingredients and careful preparation.

Quite pricey, and it was a nice touch that we were served water from a green wine bottle with a small dish of sliced lemons. When the server arrived with the bottle & glasses, I informed him that we didn’t order wine. Kudos for the reusable bottle and the environment. Being our first time to eat here, my husband and I decided to share dishes. We really enjoyed the Wild Mushroom Risotto and the dozen Charbroiled Oysters. Our friends ordered the Beef Tataki and the Pan Seared Scallops (our friend missed the part that the scallops were also on a bed of chopped Pork Belly, hence the increase in price). We will have to try that next time, as we really like Pork Belly & cook it at home. It should not be a hidden ingredient. My Asian tongue would find it tastier diced in larger pieces & on a simple bed of steamed rice so as to not compete with the flavors of the seared scallops & pork belly. I believe the gratin, which is basically like a cheesy mashed potatoes would mask the flavors of the scallops & pork belly. For me, simplicity tastes the best when it comes to meats & seafood. As for dessert, the ice cream, bananas & sauce in the Caramel Basket was delicious, though the candied caramel was quite hard & crunchy. Can the basket be created with a thinner, lacier texture? Also, because I read the Menu that it had flambéed bananas, I was disappointed that it wasn’t served with a flame. And, there will be no sharing next time! Our server in the outside patio (sorry, forgot his name already, tall, handsome, young man) was very pleasant, courteous, & occasionally checked on us. We had a nice view of the beach and the pier with lights. The outdoor heaters felt nice & well placed above us as it was a chilly evening. It was a lovely evening with dear friends & I look forward to trying other dishes on our next visit.
