    Inside The Grill
    Mark P.

    We finally made to The Grill. This place is very nice with some outstanding food. There were three people in our party. We ordered four dishes to share. They serve your food Tapas Style. Everything is ala carte. We all share the four dishes. The Beet Salad with Cherries was very impressive with some outstanding flavor. The dish with the Croutons, Tomatoes n warm Regatta Cheese was really good. The best part/item was the Tri-Tip with Cherry Tomatoes n Tomatillo Sauce. It was absolutely wonderful with some very robust flavor. I would highly recommend this place. It is not cheap but not expensive either this amazing food.

    Cass House has been on my radar for quite some time. I always thought that maybe it would be a little too fancy or stuffy maybe even requiring a coat and tie. I was wrong! Oh so very wrong. Cass House is an enjoyable eatery. When you arrive you can choose to sit by host in the interior (but still open) area, or seat yourself at the bar and high tops. All the food is cooked right behind the bar in a semi-outside kitchen so there isn't a bad seat in the house. We opted to sit outside with the nice weather - yes there are heaters! - and order light bites to share. We swooned over the delicious bread served with flaked sea salt and olive oil. Audibly enjoyed the cauliflower empanadas with this delicious dipping sauce. Freaked out over the salciccia flat bread which lovely chunks of sausage and dotted with little flowers. And finally gave praise to the lovely english peas that were beautifully charred on the outside (highly recommend ordering this!). Each dish was plenty to share and between three of us, we were stuffed. The wine and beer list is plenty and well enjoyed. I do wish there was a cocktail menu, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the food. Definitely head to Cass House ASAP!

    A bunch of empty tables, after being told they can't accommodate 6 people. It was like this the hole time.

    I'll start by saying the food and atmosphere are very pleasant. Our servers Rebecca and Andrew were very attentive to our needs. The frustrating part was the lack of accommodations that Chris the matre de was able to Convey over the phone. We called for reservations for 6 and he told us that there was nothing he could do and couldn't accommodate a party of 6. When 4 of the ppl from our group walked by the place it was nearly empty. They went in and confronted Chris, he still continued to say there wasn't accommodations for 6. Chris didn't give any suggestions, like if we came earlier or later, or take your chances at the bar. He had no problem solving skills what so over. There were empty tables around us the entire hour we where there as the pictures show. He never came over and apologized or make any bit of effort to make things right. If you are looking for great food, great accommodating staff head to skooners. They will go out of their way to make things work and you feel welcome.

    First look love!

    Can't say enough good things about Cass House! We had our wedding here on 6/22/19 and the whole experience was amazing. Jenna, the senior director, helped every step of the way during the year leading up to our special day. She's the best! Owner Tracy was very helpful as well. We loved staying in the house all week. Daily breakfast at The Bakery is always yummy (must have - avocado focaccia!) and the dinners at the grill, including our wedding food, was DELICIOUS!

    Salmon tartare
    Tatiana S.

    People extremely kind, food both beautiful and tasty. But! you need to know - they are open till 12.30 p.m. as a bakery and after 5.00 p.m. as Grill and they don't ever more have lobster roll. But my salmon tartare was good!

    Grilled Shelling Peas. Delicious.

    I had read the reviews and had friends recommend Cass House Grill for the last year or so. But seriously, I was still blown away by the quality of the dishes being served here. I took a friend to celebrate her birthday so we wanted to try several things and just take the extras for leftovers the next day. But once we tasted the food, we couldn't hardly stop! The meal we shared had to have been one of the most delicious I've ever had! We ended up taking home some extra quinoa salad--that's all that made it to a box! We had several plates since the menu is tapas style with some items enough for 2 while others seemed portioned for about 4. The dishes we ordered were: Heirloom tomato salad: 5 stars Order it! You won't be disappointed. The fresh heirloom tomatoes were incredibly fresh, ripe, and appropriately firm. Perfect greens, crusty tostinos, and warm cheese created the perfect flavor and texture combo. Grilled shelling peas: 5 stars Better than edamame. Perfectly grilled and drizzled with olive oil it seemed. We didn't even need the mild sauce, altho it was tasty. Quinoa salad: 4 stars As far as quinoa salad, this was one of the best I've tasted--and the portion was very generous. From memory, I think there was arugula, golden raisins, almonds and some roasted vegetables. Very good, but I can't rate this dish as high as the others--it wouldn't be fair to the knock-it-out-of-the-park 5 star dishes. It was a really nice quinoa salad nonetheless. Scallops: 5 stars off the charts! Expertly seared with a crunchy crust on both sides yet succulent in the middle. Perfection. The scallops are served over a purée of avocado and citrus (I believe it was lime) with shelled peas and chopped tiny pieces of asparagus. An absolute favorite of ours. Moroccan tri-tip: 5 stars all the way! Wonderfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely a treat to the taste buds. You will thank yourself if you enjoy beef. Cauliflower empanadas: 3 stars This was the only dish we didn't care for. The little empanadas were filled with creamy cauliflower and served with a brown dip that I will need to review the menu to remember. Compared to the flavors of the other dishes we ordered, this one was bland and dull including the brown side. Meyer lemon tart: 4.5 stars I loved loved the tartness of the lemon, but the crust was ordinary. It could have used ground nuts or something to liven it up. A crust made from brown butter cookies would also raise that tart to a whole other level. Service: 5 star Our server was helpful with suggestions and explanations, and yet left us to enjoy our long birthday evening in peace mostly. One note: I couldn't find Cass House on Open Table and they're not open all nights. So I called and left a message to make a reservation. I received a call back within two hours. However, the evening we arrived, our reservation was not in the system. Without skipping a beat, they accommodated us and we were seated within 2 min. (At a busy 6:30 dinner hour.) Ambiance: I enjoyed the openness of the grill and seating area. It feels fresh and warm with heaters at the same time. It's communal and yet the tables are a good distance apart. I absolutely look forward to returning. What a great fresh truly farm to table experience.

    I only tried the bakery I had the blueberry muffin and the bread puff , both were fresh airy not to sweet , I swear this was the best pastries I've had and I was in France . the place has good energy . Open one in Venice beach please.

    This is a MUST when visiting Cayucos! We secured reservations for dinner on a Sunday night. Be sure to check the website or call ahead, they close for special events some saturdays. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess, which was carried on by an equally friendly waitress. Everyone was so helpful explaining the menu & advising us what to order. We were not disappointed!!! Everything is homemade onsite, and they get their food locally. You can definitely tell the difference. This food was clearly locally sourced & made with care! We started with their focaccia bread...yum! We ordered the red chili empanadas for an appetizer. The sauce with it was wonderful! The food is set up to be shared, so we got the Cobb salad (a must!), the artichoke, and short ribs. Again, the difference in taste with the fresh ingredients was amazing! We finished with the cheesecake. Stop in! You will be glad you did!

    Pecan Tart

    Enjoyed every minute here! My mother and I enjoyed a Turkey Panini and Vegetable Quinoa salad with chicken. Every bite was very good. The best part was dessert! We shared a Pecan Tart and it was wonderful.

    If your like me and have been searching for the lobster roll on the central coast search no more. The lobster were plentiful, no fillers here. The lobster meat is the main attraction. Lightly pickled onion mayonnaise is included along with celery salt and radish sprouts. The bread is what I can describe as Texas toast making love with Hawaiian bread. Get there lobster roll. No really do. I also had the oak grilled prawns with head (delicious!), was cooked perfectly. You can kind get a taste of the oak that it was made on. A welcome addition.

    Ask the Community - Cass House Cayucos

    Does the Cass House serve dinner to the general public, or is it mainly an event space now?

    Event space only but they have rented out the kitchen to Bijou Bakery (but only breakfast/pastry items + coffee)

    If the GRILL IS CLOSED (Before 10/3/20) how can you plan a nice dinner here? The website omits the grill altogether, not even a mention of CoVid closure

    They no longer have a restaurant for the public. Event space for weddings, etc

    Is the restaurant dog friendly?

    Yes

    The Cayucos Veterans Hall is now called Cayucos Landing. It is a historic waterfront building in…read moreCayucos directly adjacent to the Cayucos Pier. It reopened in mid-2025 after a major renovation took place - which was definitely needed due to extreme structural issues. The original Veterans Hall was built in 1875 as the Cass Warehouse. The building was closed for almost ten years, and has now been restored with a commercial kitchen, outdoor patio and modern event spaces. There are ongoing yoga classes with more activities and events being added all the time. It serves as a community gathering spot for events like weddings, parties and meetings.

    I attended a wedding reception here in April '09. While I obviously can't speak to doing business…read morewith the venue, I wasn't terribly impressed with the venue itself. The couple getting married did a good job decorating the place, but it was hard to hide the fact that the building was really run down and kind of ugly. The kitchen / serving area or the buffet was also pretty skinny and crowded, making it hard to get your food. They do have a built in stage, which those who want some kind of head table might like. Oh, and the exterior seriously needs a new paint job! I imagine this is a fairly cheap rental for a large group of people (there were at least 250 people attending the wedding), but it's kind of one of those "you get what you pay for" situations. I do give them a second star because the beach location is nice, and people getting married on the beach is always cool. I'd probably have the reception on the beach itself instead of in the veterans hall!
