Fire & Vice Santa Maria — Restaurant in Santa Maria

I was so happy when they finally opened! I've been there three times. First time was a Friday evening, outside with friends. The surroundings are awesome. The staff were nice but overwhelmed. Been back twice for coffee and breakfast. When I walked in, the employee was sitting at a table with her back to the door. She had a headset on and didn't hear me. No biggie, but strange. We ordered and sat down. No other customers except maybe two at the drive thru. One other employee with headphones worked the window or kitchen. Our coffee was good, but our breakfast was tasteless. So disappointed. Breakfast sandwich had a cold fat English muffin, not toasted, no butter, overcooked egg, cream cheese and spinach. Avocado toast about the same, not really toasted, not buttered, not much avocado. We were there about an hour and not one time did anyone come and ask us if we wanted anything else. I realize this is not a sit down restaurant, but come on. Two people with very little to do, just a friendly "Hello, anything more for you guys?" Nope. Don't think I'll go back. Too bad, cause that location is...

This place could be so much better. It seems like its getting neglected by maybe the owners or management. Three out of the 5 times we’ve tried to go here, they’ve closed early! One time was because their coffee machine was broken? So we go across the street to the Salty Brigade kitchen and eat instead. People coming inside to dine want pizza or a pretzel, could care less about your coffee machine. What restaurant that serves wine only has ONE wine glass? Also, the last time we dined in our food was stone cold. Such a bummer because this place could be really good, and busy all the time with the right people in the right positions! It’s oddly dead in there every time I’ve been in there. We did find a chunk of plastic in the cheese sauce for the pretzel, was kind of a bad experience. Would definitely give it another try! Their pizza is some of the best I’ve had in...

Live down the street, been wanting to check Fire and Vice out- today was the day. Had a great experience. Justin helped with our food selection since it was our first time- I had a spicy Hawaiian pizza ( delicious) and the bf had a spicy Italian sausage with onion rings. Even the onion rings were just right- not over done and melted in your mouth. If you haven’t been by yet- I recommend go see what you have been missing out on! They have a beer and wine bar, outside dinning if you and friends and or family wanna hang out and enjoy drinks around a fire table - just tell Justin and he will get it going for you! I plan on returning- especially to try the coffee menu. Lastly- the prices are reasonable. We appreciate that. Thank you Justin and Fire and Vice. I will be seeing...
