Vista Steak and Seafood

"We had stripped sea bass. We prefer Chilean Sea Bass. BIG DIFFERENCE. No ceasar salad on the menu. French onion soup was delicious! Certainly a must visit when in Pismo Beach...breathtaking views and romantic atmosphere. Staff were wonderful, attentive, and accommodating (Especially Lana and Caleb). Make a reservation and ask for table 26 in the corner...best view in the restaurant. Second visit: I had short ribs (no bone, tasted like slow cooked beef stew) it wasn't bad, just not what I expected. Hubby had ribeye. It was good. We ordered two deserts, carrot cake and bread pudding (huge amount of coconut shavings) to go. Neither were what we expected, and we didn't like it or even finish it. It was a rather disappointing end to our evening. In total, we have ordered 6 different items from the menu. 2 out of 6 were what we expected and good. Combined our 2 visits, cost over $250. I wouldn't say the price reflected the taste of the food. However, the view and staff truly make for a good experience. Are we happy we tried it? Absolutely! Would we go back? Doubtful. Suggestion: Ask your server for a detailed description of what you think you're getting."

"Great food with lots of variety. The overall experience was nice. Prices are a little high, but for the quality it's vary reasonable. I had the baby back ribs and a ranch style beans. Both were amazing. And of course I had to try a cup of their clam chowder, which was delicious, but not out doing other quality clam chowder. But any clam chowder is usually tasty."

"My team recently rented the banquet room for a private party. The waitstaff, chefs and management were over the top amazing with taking care of our group and whole party. We love the room, private with an ocean view and our own bathrooms. It is the perfect setting for a private party. The parking is level and easy to get to for our guests. The ocean breezes abound. The food from Vista is the absolute best! We loved every minute of our party and we are so very grateful to Doug, Stacy, Craig and the whole staff. Thank you all!

"We love this place. Visited twice during our visit, and we were treated very well by staff, food was fantastic. Filet mignon was great, oysters were perfect, loved the warm soft bread. Scampi was very tasty. The view is absolutely beautiful. Will always stop by this restaurant."
