Is checked at the door, and you are given a wristband. So, no minors/kids allowed. (Nice!) Harry's has a well stocked bar and a decent variety of beer on tap as well as cold bottles. Classic rock music was being played throughout the bar as we had a quick game of pool. The place started filling up with people after we'd been there for about half an hour. Apparently Karaoke night is a big thing here for the locals, because people were stepping up to the mic and killing it!They don't serve any kind of food here, but they do allow you to bring your own food in. (There are several hole in the wall type restaurants just a few steps away from Harry's to choose from, if you like) Recommend you hit Harry's up if you're passing through or staying in town for the weekend!

And of course Dustin at the bar was awesome as always. Despite not having been there in a few months, he remembered our drinks. This is by far the best restaurant and hotel in Pismo Beach.

Be warned, if you go down... you have to climb the stairs back up. LOL. We walked from the hotel on the beach to the Pismo Beach Pier. Leisurely walk was nice but the climb up the stairs can be challenging. LOL. The room was clean and had a small fridge and all the amenities including a kuerig coffee maker. The hotel complimentary breakfast starts at 7am. Eggs, sausage, bagels, waffle and toast. Enough to get your day started. The property is dog friendly and lots of guests have dogs on a leash walking around. The summer we went, there are families with kids. Fun times for all. Our deluxe room comes with a $10 free drink each nice. Also, can't forget the cookies at 3pm. I would return to SeaCrest Ocean Front Hotel.

However, during this recent visit, we did not feel welcomed. When my wife and I approached the front desk for check‑in, the older female employee working the reception (possibly named Debbie or starting with a "D") told us she had not called us yet, even though it was clearly our turn in line. I apologized and stepped back, and only a few seconds later she did not greet us instead up front asked if we had a reservation. From the beginning, her demeanor toward us felt unfriendly and dismissive. We had booked an Ocean View King with a patio, but we were assigned a fourth‑floor room on the east wing of the hotel with only a partial ocean view and a strong smell of urine. it turns out this area of the building are pet friendly. We returned to the front desk, waited again, and when she called us over with "What's up," I explained the issue. She was quiet for a moment, then reassigned us to the main building second‑floor room above the reception area and informed us that no patio rooms were available. Her behavior throughout the check‑in process was discouraging and made us feel unwelcome, which was disappointing--especially considering we spent over $850 for a two‑night stay. However, a part from this staff issue, Seacrest is a great place to stay, the complementary breakfast is great! but yes that one staff was not the greatest...

We initially stopped by for some drinks and snacks and used the QR code on the table in the outdoor…read moreseating area to place our order. There was a private event taking place, so we couldn't sit in the main area, but we assumed the staff would be able to locate us based on where we had scanned. We were later told that our server had spent 20 minutes looking for us before calling. By the time the food and drinks arrived, the food was soggy and the drinks were watered down. Given how difficult it was for staff to access the area in the first place, there wasn't much that could be done to fix the situation, so we accepted it and ate what we could. As it got later, we decided to return for one more drink and a snack. However, when I ordered a Diet Coke at the bar, the bartender asked for my ID. I explained that I didn't have it on me but offered to show a photo of it or go back to retrieve the physical ID. I understand the importance of checking identification and respect that staff have policies to follow, but I was surprised that neither option was acceptable and that we were told we couldn't sit at the bar. We were on our honeymoon, and what should have been a relaxing evening turned into a frustrating experience. We ultimately decided not to order any food and left after finishing one beer and a Diet Coke. I understand that the initial food delivery involved a misunderstanding, and I'm not upset that staff have to follow ID policies. However, the combination of the two experiences and the lack of flexibility left us disappointed and really put a damper on our evening.

Sitting there with the most beautiful ocean scenery while drinking the most delicious real blue cheese stuffed martinis. The chef absolutely knocked it out of the park. The bao buns were fantastic, the bone marrow was ridiculously delicious, and the pork chop... excuse me, but that may have been the BEST pork chop I have ever had. And I do not make that statement lightly. That pork chop deserves its own little trophy. And the crab cakes?! Somehow they are even BETTER than I remember them being before they were taken off the menu. Whoever decided to bring these back deserves a prize. Then came the chocolate peanut butter tower, which was Absolutely decadent and the perfect ending. But the food isn't the only thing that deserves applause. The staff were phenomenal attentive, warm, polished, and genuinely excellent without ever making you feel rushed or forgotten. You can tell there is a real level of care and pride behind the experience. Huge compliments to the chef and the entire Oyster Loft team.

An Unforgettable Birthday Dinner with Breathtaking Ocean Views!…read more We came to Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach for a Sunday night dinner date to celebrate my wife's birthday. This place definitely gets packed, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. We were lucky enough to get a window seat, and the outdoor patio views of the ocean are simply amazing! On top of that, the staff here has definitely become even more friendly--our server, Zach, was super efficient and attentive throughout our meal. The food was incredible from start to finish: * Mahi Mahi Fish Ceviche: We started with this alongside fresh tortilla chips, and it was honestly one of the best ceviches we've ever had. * Clam Chowder Soup: This special clam chowder came served with Parmesan cheese bread, which was absolute perfection. Again, hands down one of the best soups we've tasted! * Molcajete Surtido: For our main dish, we ordered this classic feast loaded with grilled colossal shrimp, arrachera steak, chicken breast, chorizo, spring onion, jalapeño peppers, nopalitos, avocado, pork rinds, molcajete salsa, queso fresco, and corn tortillas, served with a side of rice and beans. All the meats were so tender and flavorful, and the rice and beans were really nice. We were so full that we didn't even get to touch the tortillas! To top off a wonderful evening, they brought out a complimentary ice cream with a candle to celebrate my wife's birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch. Whether you're planning a special date night or a family outing, we definitely recommend Ventana Grill!
