San Simeon Beach Bar & Grill

"I was running with the Corvett Club and we showed up on rainy day, locals were eating there. The atmosphere is nice and cozy they have a patio setting and indoor setting. I ordered a stack of ribs and clam chowder and I was surprised the clam chowder was pretty good. (I might be biased because two of my sons and ex-husband are executive chefs) The ribs were a little bit dry and they added too much sauce. I wish they said that they can put the sauce on the side. The screaming garlic bread is really good with the clam chowder. Our waiter was extremely nice and very attentive. If I'm in the neighborhood again I will definitely stop by"

"Would strongly discourage coming here for breakfast. Not one redeeming quality. French toast was neither brioche or properly soaked in batter so it was dry, thin, and a small portion. Not real maple syrup, which would have helped justify $14 for 2 slices of bread. Waffles also dry, might as well have been toaster waffles and were served with soggy defrosted strawberries, not the fresh fruit we expected for the crazy price. Eggs, ham and potatoes were overcooked and dry, even the bread for the toast was low quality. The tile floor was gross with the grout all cracked so impossible to clean. Has the ambiance of the big meeting room you'd book in a cheap hotel. Even the silverware was cheap with sharp edges. Do I have anything good to say? The ice water was cold and free...."

"Our group University Women of Cambria had our Holiday Event at San Simeon Beach Bar & Grill. Miguel and his staff were 100% accommodating and extremely easy to work with. The food was delish and the room was decorated very festive. Everything Miguel did he did enthusiastically and with a smile. Thank you for helping make this event venue seamless. We appreciate it."

"This gem of a restaurant, nestled just off of CA-1, was a very pleasant surprise. For a “Bar & Grill” attached to a 2 star hotel, the menus offerings are unexpected. We shared the Prawns Rockefeller as an appetizer and Linguini Pescatore for dinner. It was cooked to perfection! We arrived as the sun was setting and the view, from inside or outside, is gorgeous. The staff were kind and attentive. Thank you Luis!!"

"Just went in for a few mid-day cocktails at the bar with my sister. Nice cozy atmosphere, not very many people that time of day so we were able to have a great conversation, amid a gorgeous beachfront view. Very clean/tidy spot and the bartender was very helpful with questions we had regarding activities in this beautiful town."
