- CCindyHawaii •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoAttentive service and a lovely atmosphere at Parchetto makes it a great restaurant to enjoy lunch with a good friend or loved one. Our salmon salads were perfectly prepared. The bread we asked for was freshly baked from the oven. We had a delicious meal to linger over, and a wonderful catch-up visit on Saturday in beautiful downtown Paso Robles.More infoParchettoPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Paso Robles•4.5

- SSheilaCalifornia Central Coast •16 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoSea venture has become our go-to restaurant for all occasions and just for a spontaneous dinner out. It is consistently good for both food and drinks. This time, our server, Lucy, provided the usual friendly professional service.  there is an ocean view, and, if you go early enough, a sunset.More infoSea VenturePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Pismo Beach•4.6

- SScottSacramento / Sacramento Valley •5 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 2, 2024My son ordered the streak and for $40 we were very disappointed in the fact the server did not deduct the steak from our bill. Steak was super fatty, chewy, my son will eat anything but he spit out several pieces. I still tipped 20% because it’s not the server’s fault that it was a bad piece of steak.More infoThe Oak GrillPrice: Expensive• Bistro• San Luis Obispo•4.3
