Came in to try the tapas and grab some dinner since the menu looked good. We are big fans of Spanish food and I love patatas bravas, so I was pretty excited to try this place out. Well, now I get why patatas bravas was in quotations... this definitely wasn't close to what you get in Spain. I appreciate the colorful potatoes, but they were whole, smothered in oil and the aioli was not very good. Why they decided to do an aioli instead of a delicious tomato based brava sauce is beyond me. But the potatoes were cooked and seasoned well for what they were going for. I ordered a pizza for my entree and settled on the orchard pizza. It was a great balance of flavors, the apples, onions and bacon really paired nicely with the cheese. The crust however was a big disappointment. It was not evenly cooked at all, parts were doughy and some parts were pretty burnt. It was like the cook forgot to rotate it in the oven. Thankfully the service was great, the host and our waiter were both very friendly. Our waiter was on his game and kept our beverages topped off and very helpful with our couple questions. Overall the food was a disappointment especially at the price point. $14 for some roasted potatoes is crazy steep, especially with that awful aioli instead of fresh brava sauce. I'll definitely give em another try as the proteins that my mother in law and wife got both looked good. read more

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. read more

Cass House Cayucos - Inside The Grill - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cayucos, California

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! read more

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. read more

Classy, delicious, and a great staff. I love this place as much as I love Cayucos. Recommended.

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! read more

So glad we stumbled upon this wonderful place while exploring downtown Cayucos! We came here a couple times during our stay! Cass House is perfectly located right across the street from the pier! So you can grab a coffee and a yummy pastry and stroll down the pier and take in the view!!!! The pastries do NOT disappoint! We had h the e blueberry muffins and cinnamon scone with an americano and a latte on our first trip there. The scone was amazing!!!! My husband had the blueberry muffin...and said it was one of the best he's had! Both of us agreed their coffees were perfect!!!! Went back for one last stroll down the pier a couple days later and once again found their pastries to be SO GOOD! This time I tried the almond croissant...I think it's THE BEST almond croissant I've been had!!!!! The service has been nothing short of friendly and welcoming each time....kinda the vibe you get from this town! Am looking forward to a return trip to Cass House and to Cayucos! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Love. Love. Love. I'm a sucker for a Farm to Table dinner that is shared family style. Add in a yummy wine and dessert menu and I'm swooning. Hubby and I shared... - cauliflower empanadas with truffle sauce - half roast chicken with burrata panzanella - homemade gnocchi with clams & fennel sausage - kale salad - custard with butterscotch and sea salt Holy smokes. DELISH. We did not want the dinner to end. The food is so fresh and never heavy, despite its deceptive caloric count. The menu changes quite often due to the ingredients being local, so expect the menu to reflect the fresh ingredients of that season. I want it to be known that I do not like custard. I don't like desserts that resemble custard. That's right, I'm looking at you Creme Brûlée! But I thought about this darn custard often. I even researched how to make it at home. But I relented. Because I'm not a pastry chef and nor do I need this dessert at my disposal. This is special. I know I know, glowing review with only four stars. I just found the price was a bit steep, especially because we brought our own wine. But definitely worth it! Just maybe a special occasion joint for us. read more

I'm all in! This is the best, and when the best is the best, what more can be said? This is the best establishment on the central coast. The Inn, the dining, the bakery all fantastic.

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! read more

I've been going to Cass House for about 10 years, now, back to when they were a tasting menu in the Cass House itself and the food was divine. Our return visit this time was so disappointing in terms of the quality of the dishes (and behavior of the chef) that we will not return, which is a shame since the staff are lovely and the cauliflower empanadas are so delicious. Tonight we arrived for our 8pm reservation, sat at the bar, and the staff and chef started shutting down the kitchen and tables while we ate our first course. Our waiter was lovely, but clearly had to tip-toe around the kitchen to be sure the chef would actually make the food we ordered.When we thanked the chef for agreeing to place an order we wanted, he remarked that he guessed people "liked to eat late" but there were still 3 full tables in the dining room and they take reservations till 8:30pm. In sum, message to the staff--pls don't book after 8pm if you want the chef to do his job without resentment--and our message to the chef--we can see you being inhospitable and it made us sorry for driving from Los Angeles to eat here since it used to be our favorite in the central coast. read more

This place is really good! It was our last night in Cayucos and we wanted to try a local spot. We were not let down by Cass House. The food was presented beautifully and was all very delicious. Highlights were the curry beef empanadas (super moist in the middle), cauliflower dish, and the quinoa salad. This restaurant itself is really cool with lots of outdoor seating and semi-indoor sitting under a tent. Make sure to check online to see if it's open because they have lots of weddings here that books the whole place. Will definitely come back again when in Cayucos. read more

Came here on a Friday evening and place was packed! The two of us ordered the following from the Grill: - 5/5 Market artichokes cooked with tarragon butter, garlic aioli - Really yummy would order again in a heartbeat - 3/5 Neapolitan Margherita pizza - A bit stark and bland. Wish there were more of the toppings. - 4/5 Local pork loin with roasted brussel sprouts - Good taste and flavors. - 3/5 Grilled lamb & quinoa - don't know what to make of this dish as a whole as the quinoa was really delicious and the lamb was ultra-tender but the meat was a bit cold and on a rainy cold night where the seating, albeit with heat lamps, is pretty much open to the outdoors and it just did not feel quite right. There were too many cold entities on the dish. It's nice to hear that it's pretty much farm-to-table sort of foods which one can feel good about and they also try to retain the original texture and flavors of the ingredients. All in all, great effort on the staff for getting the ER in so quickly to tend to an ederly woman who fell and for making sure customers are being taken good care of. read more

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. read more

Several of our guests told us this was the best wedding food they ever had, and we agree! read more

Stumbled upon this fabulous restaurant on accident. Was looking for a breakfast place. First off.. the building itself is literally a roof.. with mesh screens as walls. No doors.. no windows.. the whole place is a patio. Heaters line the ceiling when cold. The kitchen is in a separate small building. Bakery nest to that. Everything is made from scratch! I had a breakfast burger without the egg. Very good. Wife had eggs Benedict she said was fabulous! Great beers on tap. Prices reasonable considering across the street at a family restaurant their burger was $13 and store bought buns.. ect. We were vacationing.. but hopefully we can return for dinner. Service was top notch. We stopped at the bakery., and most of the items we wanted were gone.. but they were making more if we wanted to come back. Definitely stop by and grab a meal here you won't regret it! read more

The Perfect Wedding For My Daughter and Son In Law When my daughter told me that her and her husband to be wanted to have the wedding at the Cass House in Cayucos, I said "What? Where?" Needless to say I had never heard of the venue or the town. I went on line and read the information on the website. Sounded OK, but wanted to see for myself. My wife and I went down with the happy couple and talked to Jenna, the event manager. She gave us the tour, and explained what they could offer. It is a quaint venue, well kept, and has a historical flair. We decided that this would be the place. Jenna, who is not a wedding planner, might as well have been. She could not have been more helpful. You asked her if she could do something...the answer was we can make it happen. She worked with all my daughters vendors, floral, music, photos...made sure everyone was comfortable with the venue BEFORE the day. She made sure chairs for the outdoor ceremony were in place for the flowers to be set up. We stayed in one of the 5 rooms that were reserved for wedding couple and guests. Now lets talk food and drink. All food and drinks were handled by The Cass House. They have a seperate covered dining area that doubles as their resturant, as well as their on site bakery. We had pre ceremony welcome wine, after ceremony hor d' oeuvres, and a sit down dinner for eighty people. The food was great, table decorations perfect, and baked the wedding cake. My daughter has a peanut allergy, and so the bakery kitchen was completly cleaned, and not allowed to have any peanut products the day before or after the baking of the delicious cake. Have I convinced you yet? Bottom line is that they are the "can do" venue. They will supply or work with other vendors. It was a month ago, and still am hearing from guests about how nice the event was. Please consider The Cass House. Let Jenna show you what they offer, and what the can do for your price point. Oh yes...about the price....Fit well withing our budget, and gave us more than they promised. We even had a goodby brunch the next morning and that was perfect too. When we get pictures back, I think I can edit this review and include pictures.....but trust me....eveything was great. **I was not paid for this review... Dennis Campoy read more

We have been here 4-5 times and it's always been amazing! Cobb Salad. Ribs. Desserts. It's all really good. Today my wife and I went for our anniversary not knowing Monday's they do a modified menu and it's open seating. I asked the manager if she could make an exception and make a Cobb salad for us. She apologized and said they were in able too. Understandably. So we ordered pizza, salad and prawns. Everything was great but the prawns. Pretty fishy. Kinda soggy. So we didn't eat them. The manager noticed and came to us asking if we liked them. We told her no. She asked if we would like our money back, we politely declined. Next thing we knew she showed up with cupcakes and a gift card refunding us. This just shows what a great place this is. Even though it wasn't the best experience, they made up for it and still our #1 restaurant. read more

The restaurant is amazing; a bit overpriced but very good. The bakery is stupid that it's only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In a town where tourism is 100% of its business, you only open 3-days? Even the restaurant has strange hours.....I do remember the restaurant being closed one random day 6-months ago. But it's not a place, I'd go every day even if money was no object. But the bakery is some place I'd spend $20 every day while in Cayucos and walked away a few mornings thinking WTF is wrong with some people and spent my money somewhere else. read more

My recent return visit to favorite beach town, Cayucos, included a mid-week afternoon lunch at Cass House Grill. I had previously had dinner at the Grill and was very impressed. The atmosphere, with indoor/outdoor seating, offers stylish and spacious feel in covered patio setting, as well as the outdoor grill bar. Wine list included excellent BTG options from top local wineries. The highlight of the day was Cauliflower Empanadas, with mushroom Parmesan dipping sauce. Truly amazing! Wood fired Pepperoni Flatbread pizza with Jalapeno and honey offered excellent flavor layers. We would have preferred less honey drizzled on the edge, though, as it was a bit too sweet for our taste. Service was friendly and professional at all times. Way to Go Cass House Grill! I would highly recommend visiting Cayucos and dining here! read more

Found this place on Yelp. Cayucos is my favorite Central Coast town to spend my days so I am always looking for a new place to eat and relax. FOUND IT! Gorgeous restored Victorian property. You eat outside without it necessarily feeling outside. The staff was super friendly and efficient (shout out to Kristin our server...she was awesome). We sat down around 1345 for their brunch menu. We started off with a starter of deviled eggs ( I love deviled eggs and I have never seen them on a resturaunt menu). Perfect deviled eggs! For our main course we decided on the breakfast pizza and the brunch burger. Both are topped with fried eggs (dont judge me...its my free day on Body For Life). So how was it???? Soooooo good! Everything was perfect! Ambiance, service, food and a very reasonable price for sitting outside, across from the beach, great service and amazing food. Ive paid double for way less. Give it a try. Check their hours as they have 3 different menus. They also have a 5 room in and a venu for events. read more

Where to begin! This was a five star experience - the food, the vibe, the ICED TEA was amazing. Seriously. And the pepperoni pizza with drizzled honey (whuut?) is delish, a must-try!! We arrived during the lunch rush this past Saturday afternoon and although service was slow, the above mentioned experience made that a non-issue. Also worth mentioning - owner who came and checked on us (thank you!) - works on the front lines. Literally, seating people and serving and was moving just as quickly as her team members. If you've read any of my reviews, you know I am a sucker for above and beyond customer service experiences- as customer service is just practically non-existent these days. She showed she cared about her customers and her team members and I greatly appreciate that. She also took the time to share with us how this incredible property came about and you can see pride of ownership and the passion she shares with - (lucky) us!!! Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a five star meal, drinks, in an outdoor setting. We will most certainly be back! Oh and the bathrooms shined too! read more
