Eye On I - Lompoc

This was a fabulous find based on recommendation. When I asked the server at Zotovich Cellars where I should eat lunch while in Lompoc, she didn't even ask me what kind of food I liked. Her immediate response, complete with driving directions: The Eye on I. She was SPOT ON! Rolled in while the specials menu included what turned out to be a smashing good, house-made, pork-and-chantarelle sausage served on a bed of black beans from heaven. I also picked up the cauliflour au gratin for the vegetarian at home, and talked to local customers on the patio who said they eat here 2-3 meals per week. The outdoor patio features barrel-top tables, a long table for larger groups, some square, four-top tables and a central gas-fired barbecue table surrounded by funky, and surprisingly comfortable, surfboard bench seats. While no five-star, white-glove experience, The Eye on I is a worthy stop for locals and visitors, carnivores and vegetarians, folks who want to veer from (albeit tasty) Mexican options that abound in this city (and the lesser-scrumptious, but equally abundant fast-food options). I already look forward to my next visit to Lompoc first stop: The Eye on I.

The food here is pretty good. Awesome salad. I don’t care for the counter service style of ordering though. The person taking your order seems a bit indifferent. It would be better if they had a wait staff. Beer selection is not great. Canned beer from a lukewarm cooler.

The food at this restaurant is incredible! I never thought I would have such a delicious meal here. The use of fresh ingredients and the large selection of daily specials make this place amazing. The outdoor terrace with a fire pit and heating is a nice touch. Guests can also bring their own wine/beer with no extra charge. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I finally visited Eye on I and it was amazing! Everything on the menu looked and tasted delicious. We tried the artichoke, brisket, and a BBQ pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. So tasty! The service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the people were delightful. I highly recommend it!

Amazing pizzas the pork belly with kimchi and a dippy egg omg
