    Grilled Salmon
    Amrit G.

    Stayed at the cavalier oceanfront resort for the weekend and tried out their restaurant for dinner and breakfast! No wait time got seated pretty quick and the food was good too and they have a variety of food options. I do not recommend the fresh cinnamon toast though it tasted burnt. Chipotle pasta was also like a 5/10, too saucy. I loved the french toast so so gooood. The drinks are also not as good but are drinkable lol. But its worth a visit if your staying nearby!

    The server was so nice letting us test the wine before we ordered a bottle of their fantastic Paso Robles Cabernet! My fish and chips were delicious with a very thin crispy crust. My friend loved her salad! The ocean views are amazing! The wait was short for a busy Saturday night and we drank our wine slowly and really had a great time.

    Braised Short Ribs . Delicious

    The food was delicious and they provide a great service, big portions at good price. Very clean and with partial view from the ocean. Right next to the hotel makes it very convenient.

    We are staying at the Cavalier resort and walked over for breakfast. Lots of glass and views. Staff friendly and attentive. Coffee was luke warm and not very tasty. Come on. Is it that hard to have good coffee? I had eggs and a sirloin patty. it came with toast and I had hash browns. Delicious!!! The wife had eggs and bacon with hash browns and toast. Nice way to start the day. The views are awesome.

    Coffee with a side of ocean in the background

    The last morning of our trip, we decided to stick to a simple diner experience that was close enough to the ocean that it kind of had a view. I appreciated the down to earth atmosphere and it was honestly the most affordable meal we had the whole time we were in town. It's slightly better than basic diner food as my eggs Benedict held their own and are not usually at most diners. My spouse had the breakfast sandwich and enjoyed his food as well. This is the part where I say something to the effect of "so good I forgot to take pictures." We did enjoy the meal, but the real reason I didn't take pictures is because I was tired and hungry. The service was prompt and friendly as well. Tl;dr: Better than average food but not mind blowing, and pretty good prices. Also a slight ocean view.

    BBQ burger with pulled pork $22. Yum!!

    A great location next to hotels and ocean. The staff was very friendly. I had a burger with pulled pork on a charcoal bun. Bun just tasted like a regular bun. Friend got a salmon burger. All our food was so good.

    Grilled Salmon Salad, Chicken Strips and fries, Fish and Chips

    Our first time here. We were greeted by staff and they were very friendly. We came here during lunch hour, so everything we ordered is from the lunch menu. We ordered the chicken strips and fries (kids menu), fish and chips, charcuterie plate, and grilled salmon salad. Chicken strips were on the salty side. Even though we got this for our picky toddler, I still taste everything. The fries were regular crinkle cut fries which you can't go wrong with. The fish in the fish and chips were very bland and oily, but crispy. The fries were also regular crinkle cut fries. I did like the coleslaw and the tartar sauce. The grilled salmon salad was mediocre. Nothing special about this dish. The charcuterie plate came out a little later. Unfortunately the charcuterie plate wasn't good at all. The bread was very stale. And the salami was already going spoiled. I do not recommend this dish at all. I don't think they push this out much and that's why items on that plate were spoiled. Thankfully, the waitress took it off the bill. I did not take a picture of it because we sent it back right away. Overall, we won't be coming back.

    Charcuterie appetizer
    Roy O.

    The Cavelier's menu has many desirable items on their menu. We started with the appetizer and the entree. This included the Charcuterie plate, braised beef, beef stroganoff, and fish 'm chips. The braised beef ($38) was delicious while the stroganoff ($30) and fish ($22) were ok but was under whelming. The server seemed to question our decisuon not to have soup or salad or a cocktail. I got the impression other paeties may tend to go for the full course. The water fillers were very attentive and polite. They were students working a job. The feed back iss for the multtiple water fillers limit the amount of water glass contact to minize a hygene risk. My disappointment started with the appetizer and didn't improve during the meal. The description of the Charcuterie plate ($19) sounded very appealing, but it was not worth it. There was too much substitution of cheaper products for olives, Crostini, nuts (which were slvered almonds) which deflated the enjoyment from this plate.

    This is a wonderful restaurant, and features coastal views. The staff is friendly and efficient. We always look forward to going there, and we enjoy the specials they offer. The food is great and the desserts are especially good. The lemon chicken orzo soup was also delicious. Definitely recommend.

    The description is panoramic views and they is not exactly true but you do get a nice slice of the ocean view. Fish and chips were good. Clam chowder was the star. The seafood linguine had a few shrimp and mussels could have used a lot more. Mai tai was strong and needed more flavor. Desserts are from French Corner Bakery which is a plus. The cream brule and lemon tart are amazing. Carrot cake and black forest are good. Free Parking which is a plus. They close at 9. Service was good. An easy place to dine after a hard day beachcombing.

    Felt like an expensive Dennys. Food was pricey from the high teens to thirties. The food was ok but the service was good.

We love the scenery going up, but we also love seeing the old store and the beautiful location right by the old Hearst warehouses that held all the treasures that he was importing from Europe to put in Hearst castle, which is right across the street and up the mountain. They're always tourists there, who are very friendly! Sometimes we share a table with people and learn about where they're from and how they're touring California. We even give them a hint or two on what we like around town. There's nothing like local knowledge to help you out when you're traveling. We were sitting with a couple from England the other day who were touring the coast and we were able to give them a hint or two about what to see while they were here and also which tour to take at her castle! (The guest house tour is great, you get to see the real undisturbed castle interiors.) On our most recent visit, Sebastian's had wine tasting out on the patio. Patio seating is limited, because they reserve three tables for wine tasting!! We did discover a lot more seating had been added out in what used to be a horse corral, so we ambled on over there. We sat at a high table, kinda on the path out to the horse corral, where there was shade. We sat in observed all the other people coming and going while we enjoyed our delicious Californian sandwich!

The staff is very knowledgeable of the food which is mostly organic. I had a Habit, Cabernet Franc, Coquelicot Vineyard 2024 which was like drinking candy. It was smooth and luxurious. Most of the wines are local de Paso Robles or the Santa Barbara area. Be sure and ask for Delphine. Ahe is an absolute expert on the menu and the wine list. She is also very sweet. My meal was excellent except for the roasted chicken which was tough. I was so disappointed because I wanted to love it. The presentation was beautiful. And the bread and salad was amazing. But the star of the show was dry. This restaurant deserves its rating. It's amazing. But it seems like the actual food itself is slipping.

(2 ) available 4- top tables open, but a party of 6 was told 30 minute wait. They declined and left. - A person came in asking for take out only to be told they were "inundated and not taking take out orders at this time." So far this is a management issue - these ladies were giving and needed 1 more server to keep them caught up- lots of business waking out the door due to poor scheduling- what a shame. One person behind the bar and 2 dining room servers would make this successful. It's too easy. - Food came out in a timely manner. Gary's pasta - 10/10 Clam chowder - 10/10 definitely homemade. My wedge- a little pricey but 8/10 only because the dressing came out clearly of a jar and no blue cheese crumbles. (Little things make a huge difference) - Moscow Marlin drink 10/10 - Another walk out. Lots of empty glasses at the bar. Would we come back? Only with these 2 servers. ( I think we got lucky) Definitely not on a Friday and If it's this much of a mess on a Friday, I can only imagine what a Saturday would look like. Cute place with amazing clam chowder and pasta.
