The Cass House Grill — Restaurant in Cayucos

Came in to try the tapas and grab some dinner since the menu looked good. We are big fans of Spanish food and I love patatas bravas, so I was pretty excited to try this place out. Well, now I get why patatas bravas was in quotations... this definitely wasn't close to what you get in Spain. I appreciate the colorful potatoes, but they were whole, smothered in oil and the aioli was not very good. Why they decided to do an aioli instead of a delicious tomato based brava sauce is beyond me. But the potatoes were cooked and seasoned well for what they were going for.

I ordered a pizza for my entree and settled on the orchard pizza. It was a great balance of flavors, the apples, onions and bacon really paired nicely with the cheese. The crust however was a big disappointment. It was not evenly cooked at all, parts were doughy and some parts were pretty burnt. It was like the cook forgot to rotate it in the oven. Thankfully the service was great, the host and our waiter were both very friendly. Our waiter was on his game and kept our beverages topped off and very helpful with our couple questions. Overall the food was a disappointment especially at the price point. $14 for some roasted potatoes is crazy steep, especially with that awful aioli instead of fresh brava sauce. I'll definitely give em another try as the proteins that my mother in law and wife got both...

First a small thing - the 'maitre d' checking plates of artichoke as they went back to the kitchen, I guess to make sure they had not been left uneaten for whatever reason. Our waitress was really good at turning up when needed, explaining the menu, and chatting when time allowed. Finally, the wine. We had a bottle of Paso Robles 'Broadside' Cabernet Sauvignon, which was really excellent - I don't often follow up wines from restaurants, but this was so distinctive I wanted...

We stumbled upon the Grill Saturday night, it took us a minute to figure out how to get in but are so glad we did! We had an awesome experience. The wait staff and atmosphere were wonderful, and the food was out of this world! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. The flavors, and presentation were mouthwatering and 5+++++star quality!!! Their artichokes with tarragon butter, roasted garlic aioli and charred lemon were the best you will ever taste. Best restaurant on the...
