Even though…read moreeverything was running behind schedule, he always made sure that we were taken care of and always checked up on us and that was more than enough to make up for the lost time. I really do appreciate everything he did and if I came back for only one reason, it'd be because of Lucas' exceptional service. The food was also very good. The fresh wasabi given to us by Lucas was exceptional and it elevated the meal to new heights. The Halibut Tempura was a table favorite and it's something I'm looking forward to getting again. Overall, it was a very nice evening filled with great food and amazing service. Thank you to Lucas and the rest of the wonderful staff! :)

Went with my boyfriend and ordered the "Cheers!" , which includes 9 pieces of sashimi, 8 pieces of…read morenigiri, one classic roll, one specialty roll, mixed tempura, edamame, 2 miso soups and a choice of salad for $99. It was plenty of food and we think it could feed three people easily (or take home leftovers). The mixed tempura was surprisingly good, but we didn't care for the seaweed or house salad. The rolls are always good and we really enjoyed trying most things at once. It's a fun way to try Kanpai! You don't need a reservation in a pair, but consider one if you're a bigger group. Otherwise, you're sat and served quickly. 3.8/5

My family and I tried Sushi 805 while visiting the Pismo Beach area, and we all really enjoyed it…read more They offer all-you-can-eat sushi and Korean BBQ, and the all-you-can-eat option is definitely worth it if you have a good appetite. (805 Sake Sushi) My husband went with the all-you-can-eat menu and loved it. I chose to order individually because I'm on a high-protein diet and wanted more sashimi and rolls without as much rice. I ordered the 15-piece sashimi, and it was outstanding. The fish tasted fresh, the portion was surprisingly filling, and it was absolutely worth it. If you're looking for lower-carb or higher-protein options, ordering à la carte may actually make more sense since a lot of the all-you-can-eat sushi selections are naturally more rice-heavy. One tip if you're bringing kids with smaller appetites: consider ordering them a single roll instead of paying for the kids' all-you-can-eat option. My daughter ordered just one roll and couldn't even quite finish it, so the all-you-can-eat price wouldn't have made sense for her. Overall, everyone left happy and full. My husband loved the all-you-can-eat experience, I loved being able to get exactly what I wanted with the sashimi, and the kids enjoyed their food too. Definitely a great option if you're in the Pismo Beach/Grover Beach area and craving sushi or Korean BBQ.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on my experience. The staff was friendly…read moreand provided good service, which I appreciated, but the food was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the sushi rice. The rice in the nigiri was overly mushy, while the rice in several rolls contained hard, crunchy pieces that seemed undercooked. The seasoning was also off, with so much vinegar that the rice tasted noticeably sour. I've eaten sushi in many different places and have a wide range of experiences to compare it to, and this was among the poorest quality sushi I've had. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience fell well below expectations. While the staff was kind and welcoming, I would not return or recommend this restaurant based on the quality of the food.

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!

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!

The rolls we ordered were not flavorful no something to wow about. Because of the delay, they gave us 2 cups of miso soup, thus earning them the 3 stars.
