Everything was really good and the atmosphere is excellent except there was a wedding downstairs apparently and the pounding of the base music was like we were near a construction site. That said this restaurant is outstanding. That was the only thing we experienced at this visit. I come there often and it's never been a problem before. View all feedback.
What AlyssaL doesn't like about Ventana Grill:
The location is stunning, but our experience was mixed. For some reason, the hostess seated us near the kitchen, although there were a bunch of better tables open with a better view. We should have asked to switch tables immediately as our waiter was also mediocre. He spilled a glass of ice water down by husband's back almost immediately, which made it tough to enjoy the meal. Although he apologized once, he made lig... View all feedback.
After being seated, we each ordered a starter. One (pozole) arrived almost immediately. The second one (3 tacos) arrived 42 minutes later. Water arrived after asking for it. The Margarita was nearly tasteless. Nice wine list and good prices. The pozole needed to be heated more, otherwise OK, greasy tacos dreadful. A beet salad was excellent. Not a more-ish restaurant for us.
After a little kerfuffle about a mixed up reservation, the staff worked quickly to get us a table that had a great view. Having ocean views from three sides, makes this a spectacular restaurant for a sunset meal. To top it off, the whales were active! Our server was amazing! Unfortunately, I don't recall his name, but he had a sense of humor. He was attentive. He had excellent knowledge of the menu and quickly had an overdone pork chop replaced with a medium. The menu is Latin inspired with plenty of choices for everyone. Rave reviews for the pork chops, the salmon and the chili relleno. Hot handmade tortillas were served for the table. Cocktails were excellent with the appropriate amount of alcohol. Desserts of mud pie and flan were outstanding and shareable. We are locals who love to take visitors here. Be sure you have a reservation for this very popular restaurant!
April, server, was excellent! Great recommendations, communicative, and didn't feel rushed. The cocktails were flavorful and great wine choices. The pork chop was cooked to perfection and had the best flavor. The halibut was really good. The mud pie was decadent! Highly recommend.
Lovely dinner spot with a stunning view over the ocean and fresh seafood, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere ? We had server Alyssa and she was super attentive and sweet. We enjoyed the clam chowder, lobster Mac cheese, fish chip, grilled daily special (Halibut) and both the sparkling and red sangria were refreshing...we will be back?
My partner and I love this place. The first spot we make a reservation for when we plan a trip to Pismo Beach. Amazing drinks, attentive service, always delicious food, and a great spot to watch the sunset.
