Vista Steak And Seafood - PISMO BEACH

Wonderful lunch with friends visiting the area. Wedge salad with blue cheese, bacon, red onions and cherry tomatoes was delicious, along with a bowl of the best clam chowder. The pastrami sandwich and seafood salad my friends ordered looked amazing and the chocolate molten cake for their anniversary was superb.

Lobster tail was good. The sourdough bread was nice and warm. The rice was a little overcooked as well as the risotto, but overall food was good and nice atmosphere.

Beautiful location, this is what you are paying for.We tried the steak, a burger, mushroom flatbread, and halibut special, the mud slide and the pineapple bread cake.Overall service was very poor from both the bus boy and the main waiter. Not the level of attentiveness we'd expect from a good restaurant.The best item was the burger, it was large and well made.The steak with some mashed potatoes was average, though a good sized cut.The halibut was initially delivered to the table uncooked in the center. Rookie mistake. But the replacement was lousy: the fish, veggies, and rice pilaf were all soaking in butter and tasteless.The mushroom flatbread could have been good, but was also very oily and bland, missing the browning needed for pizza flatbread.The desserts were also large portions, but neither were very tasty.No one at the table finished any of their food nor the shared desserts... It just wasn't worth the calories nor risk of IBS. I really hate it when low skilled cooks rely on dousing their dishes in butter and oil.Come for the view, not the food or service.

Great food with lots of variety. The overall experience was nice. Prices are a little high, but for the quality it's vary reasonable. I had the baby back ribs and a ranch style beans. Both were amazing. And of course I had to try a cup of their clam chowder, which was delicious, but not out doing other quality clam chowder. But any clam chowder is usually tasty.

Perfect place to start our mini getaway. We had dinner on Monday which was surprisingly busy. Great atmosphere. I had shrimp and scallops so good and fresh.
