I don't get there very often, but the reviews for their food are good. No views and doesn't look like much from the outside - very nice inside with a bar. Reservations recommended.

Parks & Nature
About a 25 minute drive from my house but worth it. Hike along the cliffs or up in the hills for great views. Go at low tide and check out the tidepools. Have a picnic on a sand dune. Visit the little museum. Watch the sunset. All FREE. Hazard Peak is a favorite hike. Walk along the cliffs if you want something easy. This park does have Poison Oak - so beware of that! Go to the Los Osos Valley Road Exit and head west - don't make any turns.

This is the southern entrance to the Oceano Dunes. 8 miles south of my house just off Hwy 1. Turn at the Oso Flaco Lake sign. Small charge for parking. Walk past a couple of small lakes and watch the birds. Follow the boardwalk to the ocean. Not a swimming beach - surf is more rugged. Before or after you can visit the small museum in Guadalupe. Nice little museum but not open every day.
