    Wow, excellent views. I walked in and took the first seat I saw with an excellent view. Sunny and beautiful views of lovers points I had a flight of seltzer and one beer. So good! The seltzers are very sweet. But delicious. My favorite was the grapefruit. The pizza was a combination of pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, olives. A perfect amount of sauce and cheese. The crust was a thin soft crust. Almost thought it wasn't cooked all the way through, but Wrong. It was and perfectly designed for folding and eating. Service(?), outstanding! Joseph was friendly and helpful. There were plenty of seats inside, outside and at the bar: they also have a brunch menu and cocktails. Mimosa flights and margarita flights. Not many restaurants in the particular area. Glad I stopped here. Do it. SYOY.

    Across from lovers point park, this bright place offers a selection of drinks, ciders, seltzers and when undecided, you can opt for a flyer. The place is clean and bright. Nice selection of food. Service was good. A nice place for a break!

    Wow, stumbled on this place and it is amazing. We had only 2 min left for the breakfast menu and our service hooked us up! I had the spicy breakfast pizza, added hot honey and so so good! My wife had the shrimp tacos and chowder and loved it all! The seltzers are also amazing

    Mimosa flight holiday special

    I have followed them on instagram and wanted to check them out for a while! My husband and I arrived on a Sunday around noon and when we walked in there was a cute bar yet the three people behind the bar didn't acknowledge us. Confused we walked to what we assumed was the host stand and she asked us for two? We were sat at the window and had a great view of the ocean, even in the downpour that was happening! We only ordered the mimosa flight, a sunrise seltzer and the grilled oysters. Unfortunately it took far too long for them to come out and I was disappointed in about half of the drink. They were overly sweet and just not good. The server also took way too long to bring BACK our card after we paid. Very disappointed because I really wanted to like this spot!

    We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was relatively packed with new guests coming through the doors pretty consistently. I wanted to try one of their pizzas but didn't think our party of two could finish it granted I was not leaving without trying their Shrimp Cobb Salad. So, we ordered the Shrimp Cobb Salad and raw oysters to share. The salad was perfect -- loaded with tons of pure goodness. I absolutely loved how generous these guys were with the blue cheese dressing because the dressing makes all the difference in the world. Avocados were fresh and delightful, and the cherry tomatoes had the perfect hint of sweetness. We absolutely enjoyed the salad and finished the dish in its entirety. The oysters were good also. They're definitely short staffed but I think that's true across the hospitality industry board. Nonetheless, the food was excellent. I would return when in the area again.

    My wife and I stopped in after a stroll around the park. A beautiful open space with some views of the ocean insight, service was good and so was the food. The standouts for us were the Al pastor pizza and the punch seltzer was like drinking a spiked sparkling Hawaiian Punch.

    BBQ Apricot Pulled Pork Sandwich
    Anna L.

    Stopped in California Seltzer Co for lunch yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by the specials offered. We decided to split the BBQ Apricot Pulled Pork Sandwich. The pork was tender and the sauce had a slightly sweet tanginess with just a touch of heat. Topped with smoked gouda and romaine all piled on a delicious french baguette. This was delicious! With the french fries, it was more than enough to split. We also shared their churros for dessert. They were crispy outside, stuffed with cream cheese, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with both chocolate and dulce de leche for dipping. This was a real treat! I hope they continue offering specials to help round out their menu. I also noticed they have a Thursday special - pizza and a pint for $20. Not a bad deal at all. If you have not been for awhile, give them another chance! You can't beat the view and the manager, bartender and servers are always friendly and welcoming.

    Tuna tostadas?
    Ana G.

    The prices for some of the food is too much and the food was not even that good. The fettuccine pasta was bland. It was not that bad tho. The service was fine. Our waitress was nice. The ambiance was nice and clean. I liked how it wasn't cluttered and there was a nice ocean view. The tuna tostadas weren't even tostadas bruh. It was so small like one bite each and the "tuna" wasn't even tuna tasting. I think im just used to seasoning my food and maybe thats why the food here was mid. The crispy chicken sandwich was ass. Wasn't even crunchy/crispy and it was so bland bruh.

    This is a wonderfully placed bar in Pacific Grove. There is ample street and private parking. A bartender told me that 40 years ago, it was a disco hall... fun! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is heated to enjoy the cool PG evenings. The kitchen is open, so you can definitely see how the cooks are prepping your food. Looks like a coal-fired oven for pizza. They have high-chairs for kids and the bathrooms were super clean. I had the Pink Lemonade. It wasn't too sweet, and was very tasty and refreshing. I would definitely come back when the rest of the restaurant is complete. They are planning to add more seating and a yogurt bar.

    Hawaiian Pizza and Diavola Pizza

    Beautiful new spot in Pacific Grove. The building and the interior is picturesque and feels very cheerful. Very aesthetically pleasing. Although the location and spot is beautiful, the food and service was sub par. The pizzas were very over priced for the quality. The pizza and the salad were both pretty bland. The seltzer tasted like sparkling water that someone squirted perfume in. The service wasn't great either. The host/ordering stand is tucked inside. That was the first and last time we talked to a server the entire time we were there--minus our food getting brought to the table. No one checked on us either. I wouldn't recommend eating here but I would recommend coming for the insta pics though!

We started with the coconut shrimp which were soooo agood and easily one of my favorites. The scallops were huge and cooked perfectly, the salmon was seasoned really well, and the lobster ravioli was delicious. The garlic bread was probably the only miss for me, it was just meh. The drinks were good too! I ordered an espresso martini and liked it so much I had to get a second one. My hubby had a Bloody Mary, which was okay, but nothing special. Customer service was great, and everyone was welcoming and attentive. The restaurant isn't very big, and it filled up quickly while we were there, which definitely says something.

Upon entry, we were heartily greeted by the owner and staff. There were only a couple tables left on the main floor as there was a large party of fifteen people seated in most of the main dining area. It was extremely loud with voices reverberating because of the gregarious group. The owner invited us upstairs to see if a high-bar table would be suitable. The table was quite small even though it overlooked the entire first level, so we declined as another table by the front windows had become available. The Charcuterie + Cheese board was a wonderful start to the evening. It consisted of prosciutto di parma, sopressata, duck prosciutto, bella vitano, triple cream brie, chèvre, almonds, and fig jam served with sliced grilled sourdough. Delish. We enjoyed their Sauteed Rock Cod entrée which consisted of pan-fried cod served with potato puree, artichokes + capers in a Meyer lemon brown butter sauce. The portion was of moderate size, and the dish was excellently prepared and plated. In addition, we had the Drunken Skillet Seared Octopus, which was a nice portion of octopus in a preserved black-bean honey sauce, along with Chef Jerry's seasoning. I recommend this starter as an appetizer or as a main entrée for a light appetite. All was quite delicious. This is an intimate venue for wonderfully prepared meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is a little lacking which could account for the bad acoustic issue. The service is outstanding as the staff was attentive and watchful without interrupting the customer's dining experience.
