    The Steakhouse was dressed in a beautiful array of antique and colorful Christmas decorations throughout the restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and provided gracious and efficient service. The food was absolutely delicious as well as artfully presented. It’s our favorite restaurant to visit at Christmas!

    Lure in Santa Barbara is one of our favorites, so we were excited to visit the new location in San Luis Obispo for lunch. Very attraction restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating, reasonable parking (also metered street parking close by). Love the highbacked booths. Only TV was in the bar area and did not distract us. Raw Bar was excellent, and the wine list offers 6oz and 9oz servings at very fair prices. My wife had Sand Dabs with pineapple Cole slaw and Brussel sprouts. Just excellent. I had cup of Clam chowder. One of the best I've had in a long time. Loaded with plenty of clams and a little spicy kick to it. I had the Shrimp Curry with Jumbo shrimp. Good spice and while it was a little too salty for my taste, my wife said it wasn't to hers. We shared a Key Lime pie, also delicious Bill, with 2 90z glasses of wine came to a little over $100. For the quality of the food and the high quality of service, we felt this was a very fair cost. We'll be back

    The New England clam chowder in the bread bowl was the best I’ve ever eaten. Our server, Brian, was very friendly and accommodating and made our meal special.
