Lunada Garden Bistro - Cayucos

Fish&Chips and other pkat: omelette with chicken escalope and beans (I don't remember the name): well served, fresh. Friendly waiter who was delighted to meet French people. Negative point: No tablecloth on all the tables inside the restaurant (the table was a bit sticky). Cobwebs in the corners of the windows.

A charming garden setting with great service and delicious food. An unexpected pleasant surprise in a typically touristy beachside community.

Loved our time at this Cayucos restaurant, we started in the bar, a fun, lush little room. The bartender (who we found out later was also the owner) made us 2 Moscow mules that were delish! Very personable and friendly staff. We decided to go ahead and eat dinner there. Great wine list, we had the Felino Malbec. Yummy bread appetizer and then our entrees were wonderful. Ended the night with the Baileys Icecream pie! Worth a visit! The owner Marco and his whole staff are very nice and provide top notch service.

Thank you for one of the best dining experiences we had during our California Central Coast trip! Garden is its middle name, and we enjoyed the colorful displays of beautiful flowers all around. The food was excellently prepared and presented. Filet mignon and salmon were both perfect. The service was pretty good. My only ‘complaint’ is the Margarita was double the regular size and they don’t water down their drinks! Ha ha, that’s probably a pro and a con.

Nice Italian place. Good options. They were willing to make adjustments which is helpful. Decent wine choices and good desserts menu. Lentil soup was good, tiramisu was alight, the baguette with oil and butter was nice. Service was slow to begin with but it caught up. If you are in town and looking for some good food and good times with family or friends, this is a good place to go. Note that they have a different lunch and dinner menus. Lunch menu is more like burgers and sandwiches. So decided to add dinner menu pictures.
