   Easy parking. Beautiful Stunning Ocean View. Quick seating (6 pm reservation) checked in 5:58-seated 5:59!!! Comfy booths! ZACH was super friendly, helpful, funny & kind! He’s serious about knowing his menu, specials, & drinks. Warm tortillas & cinnamon butter was delicious. Food served 10 min later was HOT, Fresh, nicely presented and Zach checked on us often! Fish n Chips were amazing! Pasta con Pescado was beyond amazing! Very very nice dinner! Watching the sun set was a bonus! Thanks Zach for wishing us Happy Anniversary!!!!! Delicious ice cream!

   Clam and mushroom broth was delicious; seafood pasta even without the cream in the sauce as my personal request was also full of flavor and the seafood is plenty.

   I got the chicken mole and it and incredible layer of flavors. My husband had the surf and turf. Service was impeccable. Ambiance and the view were phenomenal.

   We entertained out of town guests and our dining experience was outstanding. We were proud to show off the best dining and sunset view in town. The food and service was great! Our server Maddy was a pleasure and did a fantastic job. We will be back soon!

   Best dining experience EVER Was able to get an ocean view booth in *MADDY’s* section. She is such a joy and made our dinner like eating with family. We are so grateful for her and for Ventana Grill. Kindest regards Joan and Jim

   The Ceviche brought about a bout of mild diarreha that I experienced. Server was slow to reacct when we had to ask for water, a bag to bring our left overs. When we had a question since our server was not available, the server who responded that she was not our server but gave us a curt answer. We had been to Ventana before but this visit was a lot deifferent and our last--the only benefit this time was the 10% as guests of Shore Cliff- our 7th stay. We had dinner at Pono Pacific the previous night- should have had dinner as the 24th was my 82 birthday. Al Avecilla

   The decor in this restaurant is very nice and the location is amazing. The view is so nice especially at sunset. The food was good. I would not give it a five, but it was very good and I would certainly return.

    I made sure to book reservations during sunset so we can take full advantage of the gorgeous sunset view in the dining area. The customer service was really good. Our server made sure that we got everything we needed. I ordered the seafood pasta, my husband had the fish and chips, my son had the lobster mac 'n cheese and my daughter had the pork chops. They all tasted great! They also gave us some starters that had warm tortilla, salsa, and some honey butter. I also had a coconut mojito which tasted great. I'm really happy and satisfied with the service and food at Ventana grill. If you're staying at Pismo Beach, this is definitely a highly recommended place to dine, especially at sunset.
