The Morro Bay car show is going on for three days lots of cruisers passing our patio table. We decided on their bowl ofseafood chowder it was velvety thick excellent generous portions of scallops, clams, shrimp complemented with small bites of potato's with all the perfect spices it was a 10. We added two filet mignon steak fajitas but taco style. They were delicious the seasoned filet mignon along with the sweet onions and peppers with a queso fresco on a warm corn tortillas were outstanding We topped our terrific late lunch off with a moist flavorful piece of carrot cake and carmel sauce that we shared. James our waiter was super friendly. STAX along with their perfected menu has large impressive selection of local and notable wines and champagne. STAX has a perfect laid back atmosphere to enjoy with friends. Our next trip we'll enjoy a couple bottles and the sunset

Thanks to Michelle and Mike for this little "home away from home." The food items were simply delicious, and paired nicely with the different wines. Only wish I lived closer as they continue to dazzle us with their daily changing menu items (I've got dibs on their Anchovy Croutons, Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas, Turkey Meatloaf & Mash, and Swedish Meatballs).

I walked up to the bar/ counter and the gal working was washing wine glasses. She didn't acknowledge us or even say, 'I'll be right w you", that's important - say hello, welcome your customers. Unfortunately the service was meh. She finally got our order and my glass of wine was $15. I woulda been ok with that except that she poured it in a wine glass that was full of spots. That's a huge no for me. Especially when it's a nice wine. My companion and i found a cozy spot and unfortunately the employee spoke to a customer at the bar the entire time and never offered any customer service. This place could have potential with better service.

It tasted like the bartender added some citrus to the drink which impacted the smoothness. Then we ordered the Classic Cheese Pizza and we added grilled chicken.

Our server was David and he was friendly and helpful. Very good service. The vibe is chill and friendly. Very enjoyable!

Elevator was working. Upon exiting the elevator, we were quickly greeted warmly. We took a seat at a table overlooking the hotel's "small' pool. Seating is all outside but there is covered seating. This place is not a place you come to if windy or raining. Staff was very friendly and checked on us often. They were friendly and we definitely felt welcome. We ordered some drinks. Beer pricing was fair at $8 for draft craft beer. Interestingly, they have a setup for bocce ball. We didn't try any food. The only con was that the view was mostly the rooftops of nearby buildings. You could see the mountains.

Super cool bar. We were driving into town at night and randomly stumbled upon this place and…read morestopped in to have a drink. The funny statues at the front give the place a unique atmosphere, and the architecture/interior of the building has a classic Cheers-like feeling to it. It's spacious and roomy on the inside with nice furnishings and it has a beautiful wooden bar area if you appreciate those things. There's also a patio with tables out front which is perfect if you have dogs. The service was super great and friendly, and also everyone we met was really friendly. It's definitely a locals hangout, everyone there was a local. While we were there we ended up talking to several people and they were all really nice. My friend and I were both clearly out of towners and both the bartender and the local people were super cool, so we definitely had a difference experience from the last two reviewers. I will say though, they do close on the somewhat earlier side, I think they closed around 12-12:30 on a Thursday when we were there so don't expect to be staying there till 2am. If you're stopping through town, honestly I think this place is a hidden gem that's worth putting on your list of places to visit.

My girlfriend, her cousin and I came here after one drink at the bar across the street because my…read moregirlfriend and I remembered how much fun we had here last time (with a different bartender, important) and wanted to show her cousin a good time in this town. As soon as we walked in the vibe was weird- it reminded me of the movie Get Out. There were zero women in the place- just the male bartender and 3 male patrons. No music playing, no conversation. Just silent. We were 3 women walking into this creepy male dominated bar but didn't care because we were just there to have fun. In hindsight we should have walked right back out. My girlfriend and her cousin had to use the restroom so I sat down at the bar to wait for them and order us drinks. Right away the bartender approached me and in a very unwelcoming tone told me "just so you know I've already called last call". I checked the time, it was 12:30. We had had a late dinner the next town over and had just gotten back and were looking forward to a nightcap in this town we love to visit so much. Now, we all know that bars close at 2, (it even says that on their hours when you Google it) so I was confused. I looked at the clock, looked back at the bartender, and said "it's not even 1 yet. Are you not open until 2?" To which he VERY rudely and condescendingly replied, "what, did you see that online somewhere one time?" and was visibly annoyed that I dare even ask a harmless question. At this point I had felt completely unwelcome and was basically in fight or flight mode because I could tell he just wanted a problem. Ok, you got it. I asked him what his problem was and he stammered over his words like he was surprised I could even hold my own. His goofy ass buddy playing pool stepped in as his backup at this point reiterating that last call had in fact already been called. I said "ok, that's fine, but he didn't need to be so rude about it". To which the dork playing pool replied "he wasn't being rude at all actually", like ok, are you hoping to go home with him or something? I said "you must have not heard the way he was speaking to me then" at which point this man towering over me started raising his voice and YELLING at me "I'm standing right here I heard the whole thing!" at this point I was honestly ready for whatever was coming next but by then my girlfriend and her cousin were coming out of the bathroom completely unaware of what was happening so I just called them all assholes and told my girlfriend "we're leaving, these guys are f***ing weird" and we left. The 5'4" male bartender followed us out and stood on the sidewalk as we walked to our car, I guess he was trying to look tough but our group of 3 women were all taller than him. I said loudly that he clearly has little man syndrome as we left and that was it. I have no idea what his problem was. We are very friendly and respectful people and were there to have a drink or two and a few laughs before going back to our hotel for the night and instead I was met with *attempted* intimidation by *mostly* fully grown men. I guess they wanted the place all to themselves for their little circle jerk sausage party. Won't be back. Ever. I've been a server and bartender for over 15 years and could never imagine treating anyone this way. It was truly disgusting for absolutely NO reason at all, and based on all the other reviews complaining about what is clearly the same guy, it astonishes me that this is the type of person they want representing their business. Horrible service and environment. Legends owner, I'm talking to you. Shameful.
