    STEAK & SCAMPI  7 oz aged ribeye & white shrimp
    Rich C.

    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 fried green tomatoes were wonderful with the shrimp on top and the pizza was generous and we were able to bring home leftovers to enjoy the next day.

The only negative thing was we were dining inside and it happened to be on a warm day so there wasn't much cross breeze inside and it was a bit warm, but other than that food and service was excellent.

Rarely do I walk away from a dining experience where the quality of service and quality of food fight to outshine one another, but this was one of those spots. Our server, a German gentleman, was the consummate professional- always friendly, never overstepping, and added such a warm dimension to our meal. The fried green tomatoes and the white beet appetizers were standouts. I especially loved the vinegary dressing on the greens of the beet dish. For mains, we got the leek olive potato pizza, the ribeye, and the wood fire poached halibut. The avocado chimichurri that accompanied the ribeye was the perfect balance, and the sautéed greens under the fish were savory with the right amount of bite. I also liked their selection of mocktails; the pink pony club was a particular standout. All this for $200 was a better price tag than I was expecting, but most importantly, it got the stamp of approval from my notoriously picky grandmother and uncle. This spot is worth the drive.

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. We'd absolutely come back the next time we're in Pismo Beach.

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!

    Wow, what an excellent local brewery! Looking for some…read moreevening bite after a late lunch and this place was nearby where we were staying, so gave it a walk to try it. 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 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.
