Best Casual Restaurants in San Luis Obispo

Service was excellent, food was tastey, and the Copper Cafe's Christmas ambiance was festive. Prices were typical of a tourist destination but overall, worth it.

Madonna Inn delivered another terrific dining experience. We've been coming for a birthday dinner every year for 28 years now. The place is always decorated cleverly for the season and the atmosphere is very festive. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive especially since it was a very busy night. We'll be back!

As always the fish was fresh and we enjoyed every morsel of the rice.

This was my engagement dinner with my fiancé, and the experience exceeded my expectations. the staff was so friendly and happy to welcome us, making the meal that much better. The food was outstanding, and overall great dining.

Pleasantly surprised. We stayed at the Hotel Cerro and ate here expecting a hotel restaurant experience but actually the food was very high tier and delicious. The Branzino was a piece of whole fish super meaty and well roasted. Service was great as well. Very well cooked food and we will be back sometime again. The restaurant is a tad bit noisy even with only a few people cause of the brick walls and high ceilings. It's slightly odd that they don't allow same day OpenTable reservations since it was pretty empty when we went. The one negative I'll mention is that they kept the temp really cold for some reason like it almost felt unheated. Not sure why. Turn up the temp guys! Anyway, good food and that's what matters and the rest of the stuff can get worked on.
