Best restaurants near me in Nipomo, CA

This was on our radar to try one day and so for my birthday we decided to try. Made a reservation and asked for a window table, not realizing that the restaurant is long and narrow and whether you're at a window table or the next row back you have a beautiful view of the ocean, especially at sunset. The menu is well balanced and the food is well prepared and more than ample in size. Pricing is reasonable as well. The fresh caught Pismo Halibut was perfectly prepared, the sand dabs were equally as good. The salads are large the wedge easily split between two people. The burgers delivered to other tables were monsters and looked really appetizing. The wine list as a nice balance of wines, both central coast and other regions, but the best part is that the corkage fee is $10. Being able to bring your own wine, a wine you like really helps make the meal special and nice. If there was a down size, it was that the blue cheese dressing is actually ranch dressing with blue cheese crumbles on top. It was good, but not a real blue cheese dressing. The wait staff all were friendly and happy to explain any options and answer any questions. Highly recommended restaurant and more highly recommended that reservations are made. The owners also own Ada's Seafood restaurant a more casual place and Rosa's Italian. All worth going to.

We ordered the filet mignon and the halibut. We shared it the flavor was spectacular.!

We always prefer to go there. We live in the area, very close to home. The food is always consistently good! This time is even more so. We have the best cooked filet mignon and our favorite server Lauren and the best manager Christian. Lauren is the BEST! The manager Christian always has his hands on everything, help the servers especially the volume of the customers. The hostess Maya is SUPER SWEET & friendly, very helpful! If you want the good food and worth the money, this is a MUST GO restaurant, definitely a gem!! Highly recommended!

This place has an amazing view! We sat in the outside covered area which had a prime view. At sunset. The service was great! The food was delicious! We had a lot of the raw items; oysters, tuna poke tower, albacore ceviche and crudo sampler (which actually is not crudo but actually sashimi but was still delicious). We also had the octopus and caesar salad which was not your ordinary caesar salad. It had bacon and a 6 minute boiled egg. The smoked old fashioned was delicious, smelled amazing (apple and campfire smell) and was quite a show. They also had amazing local wines and for those who like wine I will tell you they had great glassware too But honestly what stole the show was the desserts. The corn cake was Amazing!!!! So delicious and different.. We also had the bread pudding which was also delicious but slightly less delicious than the corn cake. Also we went with our kids. There is no kids menu but our kids are great eaters and love raw and cooked seafood so they ate all the food we ordered and loved it. We will definitely be back again.

Wonderful night with a local jazz group followed by a great dinner. The good life at Trilogy Monarch Dunes!
