Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sea Venture offers "exceptional food and service" with "great ocean views." Renowned for its seafood, especially the pistachio-crusted halibut, it's a favorite for special occasions. Though the decor is "dated," the attentive staff, notably Chris and Jim, elevate the dining experience. Ideal for sunset views and memorable celebrations.

    As always, a wonderful evening at the SeaVenture. We have been going here for 30+ years and always good. Of course, Chris is our server of choice and he's great.

    We had dinner on the patio. Windscreen and heaters made a chilly night very comfortable. Shrimp cocktail appetizer was unique and very good. Bothe entrees were excellent, Prosciutto wrapped Salmon and seafood Vol e Vent were outstanding. Great service, oceanfront views and surprisingly reasonable priced . We will definitely return when in Pismo.

    Both meals were very good as nether one of us left so much as crumb on our plates. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller which were quite tasty broiled in spinach, bacon, and Parmesan cream. The first entree included the SeaVenture with a medley of seafood including scallops, clams, mussels, grilled fish, and Andouille sausage with saffron rice. The second entree was Macadamia Pesto Crusted Halibut with lobster risotto and grilled asparagus which was also very good and would have been an A+ had the halibut not been a wee bit dry. All in all it was great meal with good service and wonderful ambiance. Two thumbs up.

    From walking through the door to leaving after dinner everything was Exceptional. Seated immediately. Shane was our waiter and was attentive ( without being over the top) through our meal. Helped us with selections. Food was also Wonderful. Seafood dishes, chowder and steak were enjoyed by all. Interesting Cocktails and Lava cake for dessert! Yum

    Hello we live close to the Sea venture , so often we bring our guest to this restaurant, due to the beautiful views . This time we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. We used to really luv the shrimp Tacos / this time , they were soaked with some kind of brown looking sauce very salty couldn’t even enjoy the shrimp at all ! And we ordered lettuce wraps there was a tiny bowl ! Of chicken “ And tried one bite the chicken was completely over salty also ! We are Sierra Nevada beer drinkers and each time we go here the Beer is not cold at all “ we spent 300 on 5 people ! We don’t mind as long as the food is excellent “: please have your chef taste the food he’s serving! And turn up your Beverage refrigerator! Please “: From Pismo Beach Ca
