The food and service was impeccable! Their entree and wine lists were impressive And I chose a blend from Hearst Ranch They accommodated my gluten-free request, without any hesitation, with several delightful options. I swooned over my shrimp and giant scallops while eating it and even two days later, I swooned over my reheated leftovers. Who could ever imagine leftover fish being tasty? Certainly not me! I was gratefully surprised.

Cal Fresh has a great selection, especially if you want healthy alternatives or gluten free options to things. Their specialty drink section is top notch, and both the smoothie/coffee bar and the deli are high quality. The only problem is that everything is fairly expensive, maybe 15-20% more than other grocery stores.

The food was good, but the portions were very small and it is comparatively expensive. The service was good. The atmosphere is normally wonderful. Banana foggy day maybe a little less so. They do have a gluten-free menu, which is why I went there. The person I was dining with is gluten free. I probably will not come back on my own.

We got to the restaurant around 10 a.m. We waited for about 45 minutes after signing in with 8 groups ahead of us. They had a lot of seating for waiting patrons, which was nice. One of the benches was sticky, and people avoided sitting there, so I let a staff member know. It wasn't dealt with in the about 90 min we were there. Before we left, we let the waitress know, and she seemed to make note of it again. We initially got water, but it tasted like mold or chemicals. I couldn't continue drinking it. The ice was ok. I wonder if they need to change filters. I got the pismo pier omelet and added spinach and mushroom. Their home fries come with onions, are cooked nicely, and are not very crispy. The lobster and shrimp were cooked beautifully. And I was offered a gf pancake when I said I was gluten sensitive. She charged me an extra dollar to do that instead of toast. The other person got the chicken fried steak and home fries with over-easy eggs. The gravy had sausage in it and was well seasoned. We both added something to our potatoes.

Gluten free peeps...THIS is the pizza you crave. Hands down the best GF crust in town. Great spot in downtown Pismo, a quick walk to the pier after...I promise you will be dreaming of this pizza. I usually have to get my own pizza because my family doesn't wish to partake in my cardboard options. Not here! We shared 2 kinds of GF pizza & everyone was happy & not missing the gluten. I'm not sure how they get the chew & crust just right but I'm happy for this witchcraft & will be back for more!

Super great experience here! Fantastic service, the food is great and they can accommodate for allergies. I can’t eat gluten and they were able to show me what on the menu is gluten free and cook is separately so I wouldn’t get cross contaminated. Hopefully they get some GF bread at some point because their sandwiches look great! They also have an extensive drink menu (many GF options). The outdoor patio is a really nice place to hang especially with dogs and they have a dog menu. They also have a fun kid area. I’ll definitely be coming back!

From a German perspective: An Asian snack bar in a shopping area. Prices are normal for American standards. Including the tip, we spent around $80 with four people. The staff was friendly and helpful. Gluten intolerance would also be easily explained and taken into account. The portions are quite large and, above all, delicious: sushi, soup, terriyaki bowl 😋
