    This has become my favorite restaurant in the SLO area. We were there with a party of 4. We all ordered different things (chicken over risotto, Salmon over polenta with veggies, shrimp and pancetta pasta, Flatiron steak with potatoes) and each dish was beautifully prepared and so delicious! All the seasonings and sauces were spot on and the meats/fish cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding, portions were a good size, dessert was excellent (we had choc cake and tiramisu), and both the restaurant and the gardens are very charming. For this high quality food, prices were reasonable. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF...we will be back for certain!!

    We had 8ppl at 530pm, and it was a lovely experience. The food was delicious. Our service was top-notch. The band didn't start playing until 7 p.m., so we had a nice quiet dinner and conversation. Once the music started up, it became a little hard to have a conversation, but the visual aspect of the people dancing and the music was very entertaining and enjoyable.

    Beautiful ocean view so don’t go at night or when it’s dark - the steaks are fabulous and the best sauce is the mushroom sauce which you must ask for with your meal - the chocolate lava cake will please several of you and you probably only need one - if it is your birthday they will give it to you for free! Surf and turf is to die for! Reservations are a must and prices are expensive but you will not care as the food is just that good - remember the daytime views of the ocean as you dine are majestic!
