This hidden gem is inside of the Vespera Hotel! We absolutely loved the outdoor seating! We had a beautiful view the outdoor bar, the numerous amount of fire pits, the pool and the beach. We were greeted with very welcoming staff. We ordered a margarita flight, chicken taquitos, a wagyu flank steak and Barbacoa enchiladas. The food had an amazing presentation. The flavors were good. we definitely recommend the Barbacoa enchiladas and the chicken taquitos!

Vibrant atmosphere, sitting in the patio area, you can see the guests from the Marriott enjoying themselves. When we were there - live music, setting sun, etc. added to our experience. The staff was very attentive, food was excellent. This was our second visit to the restaurant and we will be back again.

We liked the restaurant and it just seemed like they had only been open for a short while. The soup and pork chop were amazing.

Food was very good and enjoyable. Ambiance included music from the pool area, which proved to be enjoyable but could be a risk. Service was great. Overall excellent experience.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, and it was quite a disappointment. The ceviche lacked acid and salt, my son ordered the Wagyu beef medium, it came well done when we told the chef it was well done, they said it was not! We also had the chicken mole Which was basically a boiled chicken thigh covered in mole sauce that tasted as if it had come from a jar. Service and location were the saving graces of the experience. We were offered to dessert because beef was overcooked, and the dessert was delicious. We were also offered a 15% discount for a five star review which we kindly declined since I could not in good consciousness give them five stars….we would NOT go back.

My wife and I spent her birthday weekend at the Vespera Resort in Pismo Beach. The hotel is fabulous and we loved it. Since I travel a lot, I will rarely eat at a hotel restaurant, because normally the prices are higher and the food mediocre. We prefer privately owned restaurants where the owner is present and offers top of the line service. With that in mind, our first night there we reluctantly booked a reservation at Pequin, expecting an expensive but so-so experience. We were very happy to find that it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time, and we dine out frequently. We had perhaps one of the best salads accompanied by a Pork Chop as a main course that was sliced and among the best I have had. The service was terrific. Across the board, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Pequin and were very happy. The hotel in general was very well run, the folks were responsive and friendly. From check in to room service and especially the restaurant were terrific. It is amazing what good sound management can do when they surround themselves with quality can do staff. We will return, keep up the good work.
