I have traveled from Avila Beach to the 101 Freeway & back very many times and during many hours of 24 allotted to each day. I have a personal fondness for the whole creek which also meanders through San Luis Obispo, where it has for lifetimes nourished a bevy of lifeforms, enriched the life experiences of many folks, and robbed some, in a rainstorm, of all their belongings, forcing them to hard reset the course of their lives. This San Luis Creek travels through long & winding valleys, past oil wells sucking earth blood into metal storage drums, it is fed some by deep underground hot mineral springs, which coddles people at Avila Hit Springs and closer to the ocean at Sicamore Springs & Resort, which are wonderful spots to swim, relax, receive nurturing massages by skilled practitioners, stretch or do yoga, get some sun while BBQ sizzles over open fire Pitts, the kids play sports & games, and the sureness that summer is being celebrated has finally set in!... There are also a few shops & intentionally high priced restaurants and even a couple of also Airport priced grocery stores & a huge farm to select the finest of foods and perhaps feed lettuce you acquire there to feed a lot of live farm animals most days or purchase a hay ride during the Fall & Winter Holliday Season! I think it is hard to not enjoy life more if you are with family or friends, riding bikes, walking, or even driving near the Bob Jones Trail from Avila Beach to a old parking lot with large ad- boards and a rest room (kept nice) just before the 101 freeway stops you by asking us all "Which way?... North...
   Read moreUsually a great place. My family and I have been going for years. We live in the neighborhood where this market is at. However, on this visit, our experience was different..not in a positive way. We went into the market to purchase drinks. As we were purchasing them, we asked if we could use the restroom. The older woman with tattoos at the register advised we couldnât use the restroom. I was confused because itâs pretty natural for people to have to use a restroom.. we were paying customers, regulars at the market, and our family lives in the neighborhood. She said we have to purchase an entire meal and cannot use them due to COVID. I said, okay and I hope you have a great day. She responded something in a sarcastic tone.. it was just a bit odd because if we sat inside the restaurant without masks on, eating, for 30 min or longer.. we âwere allowed to use the restroomâŠâ but if we have masks on, purchased drinks, and are in there for 5 minutes, we couldnât use the restrooms âdue to covidâ. Very odd experience, very unprofessional, and the reasons she gave (âdue to COVIDâ) really didnât add up.. which makes me think she was acting like this for another unknown reason (and I hope not in a discriminatory kind of wayâŠ?). Very disappointed, especially when this market is a staple in...
   Read moreI ordered over the phone so that I could pick up dinner on the way home from work and I can honestly say how disappointed I am by the staff. We love Woodstone and the food is amazing, I have a weakness for the chipotle chicken sandwich. However, when I called to place my order the phone rang for about three minutes with no answer so I tried calling six more times and on the 8th call a young man answered with no energy or kindness he was very rude rushing me through my ordered and when I asked what desserts were available he told me I would have to look when I got there. Halfway through my order he seemed very distracted almost as if I was wasting his time by spending my money there. Before I could ask for my total the young man hung up on me, by that point I was so annoyed I questioned whether or not to cancel and take my business somewhere else. This is not the first time the customer service has not been up to par, the younger kids that work there need a course in hospitality asap. Its a shame something like how you answer the phone and take orders could sway future customers from not having the privilege of tasting your...
