Sai NallapaneniSeptember 3, 2014The verdana burger was just awesome.. Juicy and tasty. We also loved the fish and chips and burrito. The cocktails were great too. It's an awesome restaurant for the food and ambience it offers.
NanaOctober 24, 2017coconut mint mojito was delicious! Their poblano lobster mac and cheese was a bit on the dry side. Portions are huge so don't order too much. Seabass special with poblano rice and 🍤 ajillo was good
Landon EckAugust 14, 2017Best Bartenders I've EVER met. These guys are extremely friendly and seem like they take pride in what they do, not to mention the drinks they make are delicious! The food was also very amazing.
Buddy AustinJuly 14, 2019Smoke on the water cocktail and molcajete were both really good. Great view, grab a drink and head to the back deck overlooking the ocean while you wait
The flatiron steak is delicious. We had the special tonight, flatiron steak with chimichuri and fried shrimp. Everything was great.

Jeffrey MartiniMarch 17, 2013Awesome awesome cocktail menu and a great blend of traditional Mexican that meets California coastal cuisine. Come for a drink, stay for dinner.
Peter WilliamsonOctober 22, 2012The burrito is a whale! Get it. Avoid tacos!!! Extremely friendly service. But make sure and call ahead to book a table/maybe order.
- Sidnie BrennerJune 28, 2016Yummy yummy food and a great view of the ocean. Try the mud pie for dessert!!

Doug CouchJuly 11, 2017Amazing menu that matches the incredible views! Try the lobster Mac and cheese!

- Mckenzye AnkerMay 30, 2011If your going with a big group you can make a reservation.. Otherwise you will be waiting for almost 2 hours to get in. got there at 6:30 and didnt get our food til 8:30. But the food is awesome!
Victoria SatorMarch 19, 2013Mark is the best waiter. He Is really knowledgeable about this menu and is super attentive! Request him if he is available.

NeenahSkyy Pancho's WifeyMay 26, 2015Love the atmosphere :-) Spent Valentines day with my love it's was wonderful
Celine BurszteinJanuary 19, 2014All you can brunch on sunday! Very good food and drinks are included
- Emma FoutchNovember 28, 2012Great restraint, amazing view, not that big of a selection for food. I wouldn't suggest going there if you don't like sea food.
Ventana waives the corkage fee if you show your receipt that you got your wine at Gather Wine Bar in the Village of Arroyo Grande!
Sarah RosaOctober 30, 2011Get there an hour to hour-and-a-half before sunset and sit at booth. Amazing views!!

"Who knew hot springs outdoor tubbing in 50 degree winter rain could be so relaxing?! So glad we went crazy and went for it! Make reservation couple days in advance; they sell out quickly."
