    Monarch Wine
    Susan N.

    Amazing food and beautiful atmosphere! Came in for breakfast and came back for dinner two days later. Hidden gym within the Trilogy Monarch Dunes community. Highly recommend! PS-they also have their own wine with grapes from their own vineyard in the community and it's good!

    Monochrome meal
    Andy R.

    My major complaint was serving the meal on a white plate. The mashed potatoes and gravy was white, the cole slaw was mainly white. The only thing with any color was the fried chicken. For $20 for members ($25 for non members) you got everything you see in the photo. Unfortunately, the food was boring. It wasn't worth $20. Also, our server was more interested in the football game being shown on tv.

    STEAK & SCAMPI  7 oz aged ribeye & white shrimp

    Always perfect at Adelina's. The service and their timing was spot on! Wonderful team. Great people watching. STEAK & SCAMPI 7 oz aged ribeye, white shrimp, poached garlic butter, white wine, fresh lemon juice, Italian parsley and roasted garlic mashed potatoes (French fries, baked potato, or rice pilaf also available). Paired with a big bold Cabernet.

    Steak and scampi with loaded baked potato. The potato where am I going?

    Wish I had gone with my gut and existing help review and skipped this place. This is a golf course restaurant and being out of the area we didn't t realize that. Decided to give it a go but it was just ok. Seating was even odd with my back to huge windows and facing bar station and trash can. Retirement community vibe which was fine but wished the food was better. Clams and scampi was bland. I would suggest they try using garlic at the very least. Serviced was polite and followed the lead on the pace of dining we wanted.

    Jennifer did an amazing job creating a beautiful table for our daughter's small wedding reception at the Market Place in Adelina's. The staff is always great and welcoming. Chef Renee did an awesome job at creating a delicious meal for each guest. Overall couldn't ask for a better evening for celebrating my daughter's special day. Thank you!!! Raylene M.

    After our round of golf at Monarch Dunes, we enjoyed our dinner at Adelina's so much that we went there again the following evening! It was all possible due to Jennifer! She accommodated all eight of us for both evenings by seating us in either a private room or in a private location. The entire team was warm, efficient, and clearly dedicated to providing a great experience. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers! Our servers, Emily and Leo, went above and beyond, providing excellent recommendations and made us feel truly welcomed. They were both knowledgeable and made our experience memorable. The food was fantastic! Ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Needless to say, all plates were cleaned! We all highly recommend Adelina"s Bistro!

The location is absolutely stunning, right along the beach with spectacular ocean views. We were lucky enough to catch the sunset during dinner, which made the entire experience even more memorable. Our server was amazing! I wish I could remember his name because he truly made our night. He had such a great personality, was friendly, attentive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel completely comfortable from start to finish. His drink recommendations were spot on, too! The food came out hot, and every dish at the table was delicious. The standout was definitely the fried chicken. The crispy coating was unreal--perfectly crunchy on the outside while staying juicy and flavorful on the inside. It was easily the star of the meal. Between the incredible service, beautiful beachfront setting, gorgeous sunset, and delicious food, this was the perfect place to celebrate such a big milestone.

I use Yelp regularly when deciding where to eat and what dishes I'd like to try, so I was surprised to see that many of the photos listed for SeaVenture were quite old (some 8-12 years old). I'm happy to share some more recent photos of the menu items we enjoyed. We were seated in a large room that looked like it was designed for bigger parties and gatherings. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our waiter, Chris, went above and beyond by turning on both big-screen TVs: one showing the World Cup and the other showing the Spurs and Knicks basketball game, which definitely made the guys in our party happy! Everyone enjoyed their food, the SeaVenture dish didn't come out to the table hot, the sauce was warm. The restaurant has a beautiful ocean view; unfortunately, the weather was overcast the weekend we visited, so we didn't get the full experience of the view. We would definitely come back again and look forward to trying more from the menu!

Seemed to close early, 8pm, for a brewery, but I guess it's a quieter area. Arrived past 7, hoping we can still get food and we were still good for food and beer! Ms. Kristie was so efficient and friendly and awesome, hustling back and forth from reception to seating and dropping by to check on all the patrons. Like a one woman show! I went for the Peanut butter falcon since I like a good brown beer. The peanut butter was initially nice, but it kinda became tiring as the sips went along, since peanut butter seemed a bit much over the beer. Got wife the German Pilsner and that was excellent! Smooth with a hint of malty sweetness too! I am thinking maybe the Lawn Order blonde ale is probably going to be great as well, but too full from late lunch to consume more than one. For food, went with the birria melt and the salmon salad. Birria melt had some awesome authentic flavors to it! Kid devoured it with the consomme. I enjoyed a quarter of it, but too full, so worked out perfect since kid didn't want to share more either, lol. Salmon salad was perfect! Pan seared on both side for that wonderful crust yet tender goodness. Salad dressing with cherry and almond slices made this salad so enjoyable while staying lighter. Was not expecting such salmon from a brewery, excellent food here! Locals seem to love this place too until closing time I guess, since a group that seemed to be bar hopping arrived exceited when we got there too:)

The busser also came by to help clear our trays, which was really appreciated.

Unfortunately, my first dine-in experience since then was really disappointing. The fettuccine Alfredo was just okay, and I definitely wouldn't recommend the steamed clams. But what really ruined the experience was the bartender. I was standing in line at the bar waiting to order a drink. When it was finally my turn, the bartender took the order of someone who had arrived after me but was already seated at the bar. At first, I didn't think much of it. I assumed customers who were already seated were being served first, so I just waited. Then, a white woman who had been standing in line behind me sat down at the bar. The bartender skipped me again and took her order instead. Thankfully, she immediately pointed out that I had been ahead of her and had been waiting first. The bartender eventually took my order, but his attitude toward me was extremely cold and unfriendly. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after being passed over twice, I couldn't help but wonder if race had something to do with it. That's what made the experience especially disappointing. I've been a longtime customer and have always enjoyed stopping here whenever I'm in Avila Beach. Unfortunately, after this experience, I'll think twice before coming back.

The restaurant is located right next to the train station, and they had a dedicated carpark, but it also seemed like street parking was readily available nearby as well. The outdoor dining area was pleasant and had heaters available. Once we arrived, we were seated promptly and brought menus and water. They also kindly brought water for our dog, even without us asking them for it. We shared two appetizers, including the ceviche and tostada. Both were excellent, fresh and full of flavor. For mains, I got the misoyaki butterfish, while my husband had the bouillabaisse. I was jealous that he decided to order this because I don't like ordering the same main as someone else I'm dining with, but the jealousy dissipated once I got the butterfish. It was coated in a sweet teriyaki sauce which it paired wonderfully with, and the texture was pleasant and soft. It was served atop a bed of wild rice and greens. The bouillabaisse was also superb. It's hard to imagine that their other main dishes are better than these two, though I'm sure they're also great. We couldn't go past the lime and coconut creme brulee for dessert. Both of us couldn't get enough of this. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. We had everything we needed and never needed to flag her down for anything. Someone else, perhaps the owner, came out and asked us how our meal was while we were eating which was a nice touch. I'd recommend this as a must-visit if you're in the Pismo Beach area.
