Lovely atmosphere, good food; outdoor dining under heaters and next to fire pits. Next door is Nourish, their new breakfast and lunch take out place (there are a few seats). The food at Nourish is healthy and delicious.

Oyster Loft
101 Pomeroy AveBest seafood in SLO County, beautiful views
don't let the name fool you; they have some meat and sometimes a fish dish. The food is Mexican-influenced and creative. It's also delicious; however there is really nothing healthy on the menu so if you care about that, go elsewhere. It's a fun vibe inside.

Excellent home made pasta. They didn't take reservations last time I checked so get there early or prepare for a wait.

weather is better than Pismo
my favorite local hike. Great views. About 1 1/2 hours. Go to the end of Marsh st like you are getting on 101 but just before you get on 101 south you'll see the parking lot.
