SeaVenture Restaurant — Restaurant in Pismo Beach

I took my Family here as a beautiful Mothers day surprise brunch. I have eaten at restaurant before and stayed at the hotel multiple times. The food was always okay or decent. Their beuch menu seemed exciting and a way to spoil my Mither and Mother in law for their special day. The food looks appetizing when it came out, but fell flat when it came to taste. One of the breakfast choices was eddgs Benedict, my Moms favorite and her Holindays sauce tastes like nothing. There was tater- Tots with red bell peppers presented as her breakfast brunch side, no flavor very minimal. The meal started with am appetizer, shrimp cocktail bisque soup or strawberry salad. My group decided to go mainly with the shrimp cocktail and one order of tomatoes bisque soup. The shrimp cocktail consisted of three or four party size shrimps, and a small container of cocktail sauce. The shrimps were fishy, definitely not fresh, very disappointing. The Mothers day brunch didn't provide a bottomless mimosa, which they normally offer during their brunches. Only offered one kind of champaign, at yhe cost of $35.00 dollars a bottle. In the end the waitresses and staff, were very subpare. The fresh water sea bass I ordered, tasted fishy and was served with a weird corn mush under the fish, topped off with burnt dried breshcutto. The restaurant acted as if the restaurant was closing and we shouldn't be there. These 3 course meals we're $55.00 per person, and absolutely terrible. I feel like this restaurant take advantage of their Beach side views. The quality of the food was bad. We won't be returning. To top off this not so great experience, my credit card was charged twice for items I never Even ordered. I called the hotel and spoke with the restaurant management, he explained that some of the Chargers are probably pending which means they won't charge it twice the card just got swiped twice. I explained how I was disappointed with the meal and not happy with how expensive it was, being $55 a person for very simple plates, that were not satisfying. I felt the restaurant falsely advertised this beautiful 3 course meal. I explained my party felt the service and lack of service made us feel uncomfortable. He apologized over the phone that we felt that way and suggested calling another time if there was any more issues....

Make a reservation in advance — it’s worth it! We dined here recently and were lucky enough to be seated on the patio. The view is absolutely gorgeous and really sets the mood. One suggestion though: cleaning the windows would take the experience to the next level — the smudges do take away a bit from enjoying the view fully. Our server, Thomas P., was quick, polite, and attentive throughout the evening. Now, on to the food and drinks! What we ordered: • 🥣 SeaVenture Clam Chowder – $13 Rich and hearty with a generous amount of seafood. The texture was thick and creamy, and the presentation was beautiful. A strong start to the meal. • 🥓 Pork Belly & Scallops – $29 Absolutely perfect. The squid ink risotto was creamy and packed with flavor. The pork belly had that ideal contrast — crispy on one side, tender on the other — and the scallops were cooked beautifully. This was hands down my favorite dish of the evening. • 🌴 Coconut Shrimp Tacos – $20 A well-executed dish overall. The flavors came together nicely, but for me, it leaned just a bit too sweet. Still enjoyable, just a matter of personal taste. • 🥟 Pismettes – $18 A fun and tasty snack! Served with a variety of sauces that added a lot of flavor and variety. Great to share. • 🍹 Pomegranate Margarita – $14 • 🍋 Raspberry Lemon Drop – $14 Both cocktails were decent, but honestly, we were hoping for something more unique or memorable. They tasted fine but lacked a standout flavor or presentation.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 ⭐️ The food was truly delicious, especially the Pork Belly & Scallops — a must-try. The only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is the cocktails, which we felt didn’t quite meet the creative bar set by the rest of the menu. Still, a great dining experience — and we’d...

Decided to come here for date night and the last night of Restaurant Month where we could enjoy 3 courses for $35. The restaurant entrance was a little hard to find, and unfortunately the people in the hotel lobby didn't give good directions (should have said come into the elevator instead of pointing in the opposite direction leading us to walk in a couple circles before coming back to the hotel lobby and realizing had to take the elevator up to the 3rd floor). The restaurant has beautiful views and with both indoor and outdoor seating, and very attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. Ordered a glass of wine from the waiter's recommendation, but really would have been great to have a wine pairing option instead of just a 'wine flight' option. We ordered the fried pickles and chop salad as starters, neither were very exciting or flavorful; the pickles were bacon wrapped and the salad had blue cheese and a pancetta crumble. For the main courses we ordered The SeaVenture and the Country Pork Rib. The SeaVenture reminded me a bit of Campbell's Tomato Rice Soup with a seafood variety on top.. wasn't my favorite in seasoning, but the clams stood out as very delicious. The Country Pork Rib was served with a coleslaw and beans on the side, and the meat was perfectly cooked although also a little bland. For Dessert we ordered the Orange Creme Brulee and the Fruit Trifle (Lady Fingers and whip cream), the Creme Brulee was my favorite part of the entire meal, perfectly hard on the outside with a delicious hint of orange. Overall I was very underwhelmed by the food and wine, but the views and service and ambiance were hard to beat. I hope to try them again with some...
