Somerset Grill - PISMO BEACH

So disappointing! Beautiful facility in an amazing location. We ate there twice, once for breakfast and once for dinner. At dinner the service was barely adequate. The menu was fairly small. I ordered halibut. It was overcooked and a bit dry. Accompaniments were mediocre. Found out later that the to go menu was larger and better. Very dog friendly, which we liked. Went back for breakfast. Service was better. Food was mediocre. We had to wait for 10-15 minutes even though there were many empty tables. Won't go back.

Overall great experience. Staff was attentive and the food was great. We stopped for snacks and to enjoy the view always love stopping by Vespera great location!

The ambience was nice but the food was horrible. Raw chicken tenders and burger was raw. The service was slow and not very attentive.

While the server was very kind, she was not very attentive. She brought water right away, but it took her a while to come back and asked for drink orders. I was disappointed at the few fish selections on the menu. The fish of the day was salmon; I can get salmon anywhere, and the only other fish selection were shrimp and lobster. I was looking forward to local fish.  There was tacos on the menu from the bar but it was beef pork and chicken. No fish tacos.. Drinks were good, but my sister ordered a Vodka martini, and that waitress didn't ask for what kind of vodka she wanted, which we all thought was unusual. The salmon was cooked to perfection and presented very well . The shrimp with corn and grits was delicious.

Our server Makayla was amazing! She answered all of our questions and her customer service was beyond what we expected. We were there to celebrate my husband's birthday so I chose to have our dinner outside by the fire pit overlooking the ocean as the sunset. It was perfect for us. A lot of the reviews mentioned the service was slow and I could see that if you have somewhere to go or are on a schedule. We had appetizers, dinner, dessert and drinks so we were there for about 2.5 hours....which we didn't mind at all. We enjoyed the family friendly ambiance even though we were there without our kids. We will definitely come back.
