I had the breakfast burger, and it was incredible--the burger was cooked perfectly medium, the bun was beautifully crispy, and the combination of the egg and hash brown made every bite delicious. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. The coffee was exceptionally smooth and complemented the breakfast perfectly. On top of the great food, the service was outstanding--warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell there is care behind what they do here. Fantastic food, excellent coffee, and wonderful service. Twenty South is absolutely worth a stop, and we will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a salad while out shopping. Order at counter, get a number and find a seat…read more Unfortunately they only offer coffee drinks, no iced tea or anything else. Luckily they had a small fridge with some bottled sparkling water. Patio seating is your best bet here. Sadly the employee said someone stole their umbrellas and propane tank. So the patio had 1 umbrella which was the only table outside that was occupied so bring a hat! The menu is very limited but they did have one salad, a steak salad. It was very nice, reminded me of a fall salad. I will come again to try their breakfast menu.

We travel globally year round and it could not be denied that the level of service from the warmth, attentiveness and obvious care from top to bottom is top tier . Ambiance of the patio in the evening and the coziness of the bar and interior dining also sublime . Over the years we have gotten to know and love Robin, Russel. Celena and Cristian .. you should consider yourself lucky if you get the chance to be catered to by ANY of these exceptional people . An extra kudos to Robin for leading such an amazing team and program .

Made reservations here to celebrate my sisters birthday. This restaurant is located inside Dolphin…read moreBay Resort so its shared parking. It was a bit difficult finding the restaurant itself but we finally found it and the view overlooking the area was gorgeous. We had specifically requested outdoor seating to see the sunset. However when we got our seats, we were far away from that view and instead our view was the swimming pool and people running around with their bathing suits. Not only that, but our table was misaligned so it would move side to side whenever someone places something on one side. Overall, we were very unhappy because when we made the reservation, we specified that we wanted a good view. After much discussion, the manager noticed our frustrations and we got a good seat where the sunset was. We finally sat down and ordered some dishes. We ordered the following: - crab cakes - chicken - barramundi & grilled shrimp - salmon - fillet mignon - lobster - bread & butter * *It came with bread as an appetizer. The bread was too salty and what was worse was that there was an ant that crawled on my dad's bread. When consulting the waiter about it, she jsut looked at us deadly and said, "so what do you want me to do about it?" The natural response would be to get us another bread but we just ended up sitting there for five minutes as the ant kept crawling on the bread. Overall the food was not too salty, but the lobster was a tad dry and hard while everything else was okay. The poor customer experience left us not feeling satisfied but we appreciated the managers response to the seating.

The cocktails are a nice balance between alcohol snd sweet. I ended up drinking 4, and still felt great after! It felt really refreshing. We ordered 30 oysters for the table and we finished them so fast because they tasted so good! I'm a huge fan of west coast oysters because of how sweet they taste. We pretty much inhaled all 30! We shared the plates family style, and it was very tasty! I felt like all the dishes had a good balance between differently flavor profiles. It was so good that we were able to finish the whole meal! The desserts were so solid. I actually would have regretted it if we didn't finish off our meal with it. The service was good! I never have a problem with our servers whenever we visit. They're always so professional and friendly.

Dinner with my wife celebrating our wedding anniversary…read more I wanted to enjoy my experience here given the beautiful beachfront views, but the execution fell short for an upscale spot. To start, we arrived early for our reservation. I had made a note requesting an outdoor table, and the hostess attempted to seat us inside. I politely asked for an outside table again, and she said we would have to wait 10 minutes, which was fine. We moved to the bar, ordered two glasses of wine, and before they even finished pouring our water, the table was "ready". The biggest disappointment was the limited menu availability. Four out of ten of the entrees were completely unavailable when we ordered, which severely restricted our options. Additionally, my wine bottle was served and was never chilled or offered a wine bucket, which is a miss for a premium seafood restaurant. On the positive side, the food they DID have available and we could order was all tasty and fresh. The service was okay, polite, but not particularly attentive or proactive given the pricing. Overall, you're paying for the stunning location, but the food logistics and service definitely need improvement. We still had a great time!

Even Justin our food runner took the time to make sure we were happy with the food and had everything we needed. They had some new items on the menu, we tried the short-rib tacos which were amazing. And of course Dustin at the bar was awesome as always. Despite not having been there in a few months, he remembered our drinks. This is by far the best restaurant and hotel in Pismo Beach.

The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We have always been seated outside and love it when we are lucky enough to have a table along the creek side.

This summer they changed the menu quie a bit and also we have noticed the quality has gone down. My daughters chicken nuggets went from made fresh to frozen. Burgers went from a full size burger to barely over a slider. Fries are still really good along with cocktails. Bees knees and Jalisco Summer are the favorites for cocktails. Customer service is always pretty straight forward with young kids serving. No issues ever. Great casual dining setup but also good place to watch game. Bar is always busy when we go. We are little bummed as this was our go to spot and now its going to force us to look at other options but we will return as the Cubano still shows promise and the fries with ranch are amazing.

An Unforgettable Birthday Dinner with Breathtaking Ocean Views!…read more We came to Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach for a Sunday night dinner date to celebrate my wife's birthday. This place definitely gets packed, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. We were lucky enough to get a window seat, and the outdoor patio views of the ocean are simply amazing! On top of that, the staff here has definitely become even more friendly--our server, Zach, was super efficient and attentive throughout our meal. The food was incredible from start to finish: * Mahi Mahi Fish Ceviche: We started with this alongside fresh tortilla chips, and it was honestly one of the best ceviches we've ever had. * Clam Chowder Soup: This special clam chowder came served with Parmesan cheese bread, which was absolute perfection. Again, hands down one of the best soups we've tasted! * Molcajete Surtido: For our main dish, we ordered this classic feast loaded with grilled colossal shrimp, arrachera steak, chicken breast, chorizo, spring onion, jalapeño peppers, nopalitos, avocado, pork rinds, molcajete salsa, queso fresco, and corn tortillas, served with a side of rice and beans. All the meats were so tender and flavorful, and the rice and beans were really nice. We were so full that we didn't even get to touch the tortillas! To top off a wonderful evening, they brought out a complimentary ice cream with a candle to celebrate my wife's birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch. Whether you're planning a special date night or a family outing, we definitely recommend Ventana Grill!
