About This Place

Nestled within the scenic SeaVenture Beach Hotel in picturesque Pismo Beach, SeaVenture Restaurant offers an exquisite dining experience that perfectly marries oceanfront ambiance with sophisticated coastal cuisine. Known for its unparalleled views of the Pacific and a thoughtfully curated menu, this gem is a must-visit for both locals and travelers seeking a memorable culinary journey.

The culinary repertoire at SeaVenture is a celebration of fresh, vibrant flavors with a distinct coastal influence. Standouts include the iconic SeaVenture Clam Chowder, a velvety blend of tender clams and rich, creamy broth that comforts and excites the palate. For seafood lovers, the Couples Filet & Lobster is a sumptuous pairing of perfectly seared filet mignon with succulent lobster tail, a dish that delights with its juicy, melt-in-your-mouth textures and elegantly balanced seasoning. The Pan Seared Filet Mignon and Beef Tips offer expertly prepared cuts, cooked to tender perfection and accompanied by house-made sauces that elevate each bite.

For those who crave bold and playful flavors, the tapas bar is an irresistible draw. The Steak Nachos Platter layers house-marinated filet mignon over a bed of Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, complemented by zesty pico de gallo and a luscious lemon avocado cream that dances with each mouthful. The Oyster Rockefeller captivates with Pacific oysters broiled under a golden blanket of spinach, bacon, and parmesan cream—an indulgent start that perfectly complements a sunset ocean view.

Dessert at SeaVenture is an indulgent finale. The Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée boasts a silken custard beneath a perfectly caramelized sugar crust, while the Chocolate Lava Cake provides a decadent, molten center that chocolate aficionados will savor. Pair these with a handcrafted Espresso Martini or a refreshing Raspberry Mojito to round out your meal with elegance.

Dining at SeaVenture is more than just a meal—it’s an experience enhanced by the gentle sea breeze and panoramic ocean views visible from both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Guests often remark on the romantic and serene atmosphere, ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, or simply savoring a peaceful evening by the water. While some have noted the charm of ambient music would heighten the mood further, the attentive and warm service from staff like Shane, Thomas P., and others ensures every need is met with genuine hospitality.

Whether you arrive for a casual bite at the tapas bar or a full multi-course dinner featuring local ingredients and creativity, SeaVenture Restaurant delivers a harmonious blend of taste, setting, and service. It’s a place where each dish not only tastes incredible but also tells a story of the sea, crafted to delight your senses and leave a lasting impression.

    Had the most wonderful Christmas dinner at the C Venture! Always blessed to dine here. Delicious food. Loved our 3 course meal. We had Shane as our server and he was so amazing, accommodating, and tended to our every need. Sam was also amazing. Great service! One friendly suggestion is I wish that the restaurant have background music. Love this restaurant as always!

    For was great honestly, No complaints by any means. Our server (red) was very friendly and extremely kind and outgoing. Atmosphere was nice but we went when it was already dark so we missed out on the epic view. We ordered the surf and turf for two and everything was honestly very very tasty but one thing was the cook missed the asparagus that was supposed to come with the meal. We didn't even realize until we finished the meal and by then we weren't interested because we were so incredibly full. We had the calamari for app which was also good. A bowl of clam chowder was also excellent. The bread with sweet butter was also a highlight. We'd definitely eat here again and hopefully we get red as our server again. Finished the night off with the creme Brulee which was not the best. The actual custard was a little lacking as far as flavor and not as sweet as we were hoping for.

    This place probably has the best views of the beach in Pismo for a restaurant, it has great outdoor seating and indoor seating, it's very dated though. The food is very disappointing, but the service and view are incredible. There are far better options for flavor and food, but the view is nice. The food has solid presentation factor, but the taste just isn't there.

    Make a reservation in advance — it’s worth it! We dined here recently and were lucky enough to be seated on the patio. The view is absolutely gorgeous and really sets the mood. One suggestion though: cleaning the windows would take the experience to the next level — the smudges do take away a bit from enjoying the view fully. Our server, Thomas P., was quick, polite, and attentive throughout the evening. Now, on to the food and drinks! What we ordered: • SeaVenture Clam Chowder – $13 Rich and hearty with a generous amount of seafood. The texture was thick and creamy, and the presentation was beautiful. A strong start to the meal. • Pork Belly & Scallops – $29 Absolutely perfect. The squid ink risotto was creamy and packed with flavor. The pork belly had that ideal contrast — crispy on one side, tender on the other — and the scallops were cooked beautifully. This was hands down my favorite dish of the evening. • Coconut Shrimp Tacos – $20 A well-executed dish overall. The flavors came together nicely, but for me, it leaned just a bit too sweet. Still enjoyable, just a matter of personal taste. • Pismettes – $18 A fun and tasty snack! Served with a variety of sauces that added a lot of flavor and variety. Great to share. • Pomegranate Margarita – $14 • Raspberry Lemon Drop – $14 Both cocktails were decent, but honestly, we were hoping for something more unique or memorable. They tasted fine but lacked a standout flavor or presentation. Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 ⭐ The food was truly delicious, especially the Pork Belly & Scallops — a must-try. The only reason for not giving a full 5 stars is the cocktails, which we felt didn’t quite meet the creative bar set by the rest of the menu. Still, a great dining experience — and we’d definitely come back!

    Perfect for Anniversaries and Birthdays! Breath- taking views of the Ocean from Pismo Beach. This restaurant is on the 3rd floor of the hotel and can be easily accessed from the parking garage. Had dinner on a weekday. For the occasion, my wife and I ordered the combination lobster and steak deal for two and it was perfect! Food was prepared and presented superb! Try their wide selections of wine and cocktails. Prices are just right for the quality. We dined during the perfect sunset. Service was the best and couldn't be any more courteous. Outside dinning is also available. Parking is free and plentiful, so be sure to let the front desk know you're there to dine. Easy access from the 101 freeway. After you eat, walk along the beautiful Pismo Beach just steps away.

    Me and my wife went there for our 40th wedding anniversary. We’ve been here before, we both had the macadamia pesto crusted halibut with creamy shrimp and lobster risotto, grilled asparagus. It was outstanding, the flavor melted in our mouth, our server Jim was outstanding very attentive, but not overwhelming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys seafood. The price was right and the food, service and view are all outstanding.

    We're staying in Pismo Beach on a trip north, and Seaventure restaurant was highly recommended by our hotel. Suffice it to say, it was a perfect choice. We had the Coconut shrimp tacos, seafood medley and the king sized everything baked potato. The food was terrific, the service was spot on perfect (thank you Chris and company!!), and the atmosphere relaxing and casual. Would 100% come back and readily recommend this place. I rarely write a review, but this deserves one.
