- AAlanSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI just don’t think you can ever go wrong at this place. We’ve been going there while on vacation for the past 12 years. Always friendly, food is always good, can’t beat the view. To assure a great experience though, probably best to make a reservation. It’s a big place and usually has available seating, but making a reservation might eliminate an unanticipated wait.More infoVentana GrillPrice: Moderate• Latin American• Pismo Beach•4.6

- SStevenCalifornia Central Coast •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMadonna Inn delivered another terrific dining experience. We've been coming for a birthday dinner every year for 28 years now. The place is always decorated cleverly for the season and the atmosphere is very festive. The wait staff was excellent and very attentive especially since it was a very busy night. We'll be back!More infoAlex Madonna’s Gold Rush Steak House, at Madonna InnPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• San Luis Obispo•4.7

- MMarkVIPLas Vegas •14 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 5, 2024Pleasantly surprised. We stayed at the Hotel Cerro and ate here expecting a hotel restaurant experience but actually the food was very high tier and delicious. The Branzino was a piece of whole fish super meaty and well roasted. Service was great as well. Very well cooked food and we will be back sometime again. The restaurant is a tad bit noisy even with only a few people cause of the brick walls and high ceilings. It's slightly odd that they don't allow same day OpenTable reservations since it was pretty empty when we went. The one negative I'll mention is that they kept the temp really cold for some reason like it almost felt unheated. Not sure why. Turn up the temp guys! Anyway, good food and that's what matters and the rest of the stuff can get worked on.More infoThe Oak GrillPrice: Expensive• Bistro• San Luis Obispo•4.2
