Reviews for Pismo's Coastal Grill in Fresno, CA
One of the best restaurants I have been to this year, out-freaking-standing! Was packed when I went by myself for lunch,... impressed by the server and manager, both were super nice and very professional. The crab cocktail appetizer was ridiculouslydelicious, big pieces of crab with serranos, micro-Cilantro and lemon garlic marinade,best appetizer of the year for me. Alsotried the clam chowder sampler, which had Classic White, Spicy Red, and Rhode Island Clear, all were good but the white was thebest I have had. The plain sourdough bread was also exceptional. Liked it so much I took my team there for lunch the same day.All 8 people raved about the food,I had the crab cakes which were good but not great. We ordered the crab cocktail appetizer x 2for the group and they concur that it is the best. Coworker had the swordfish, which I wish I would have ordered. Managerremembered me from lunch and comped 2 orders of the sourdough bread with cheese, absolutely delicious. Don't hesitate, thisplace is a must visit, food is a 5+, service is also 5+. Read more
So we tried out this place for my mom's birthday. Started off with shrimp cocktail and some drinks. The mixed drinks had to be... returned as they weren't sweet as ordered. Our waiter repaced them but we just got regular drinks. Oak lager was a nice draftbeer. We got the steak and lobster. The steak was alot of fat but cooked as ordered. Lobster was delicious. The food was ok butdidn't seem worth the price. Seafood was good but don't think I would order steak again. Waiter was professional and did a greatjob. Read more
Not a huge fan of this place. Although, I've never had a bad meal here the food is mediocre at best. Tonight we started with the... steamed clams and for dinner I had swordfish and my wife had the Santa Marie steak with shrimp. I know this place has a lot ofgreat reviews but there isn't much to compare it with in fresno... Read more
We had a very nice lunch. The portions are big, so my wife and I shared a clam chowder and a salad with bay shrimp, lobster meat... and jumbo shrimp. We were so hungry that we didn't even get a chance to take a picture of it, but it was delicious. Since weshared we decided to have a lemon meringue cheesecake. So glad that things are getting back to normal in order to enjoy a nicelunch outing. Read more
It is like a nice vacation in the Florida keys. Great seafood options. The overall food was exquisite. Great drink options. The... ambiance is beach shore meets Joes garage but way more elevated. They have a fish market in house. The staff is extremelyknowledgeable and eager to educate. This place melted my heart. Can’t wait until my next visit. Read more
I've been told over and over to go to this place so my wife and finally tried it. So glad we did cause it was hands down THE... BEST seafood in Fresno. Not only that the bartender knows what she's doing with the drinks, I ordered a Gibson Up with Gin andshe knew exactly how to make it. To top it off our server, Erica, was absolutely the best. Recommended great food options and wecouldn't have been happier with her service. If you're tightening the belt and want to go here you can definitely be satisfiedspending $20-$25 a person, but for this visit we went all out and ended up spending $150. It was worth every penny. We startedwith a mug of clam chowder (white) and stuffed bread (highly recommend). I ordered the grilled swordfish with double potatoes augratin w/bacon and crab topper (a must). The swordfish was a little overcooked but soaking it in the crab topper made it morejuicy so that fixed the problem. My wife ordered the bacon cheeseburger w/fries and it was one of the best burgers we've tasted,especially for being a seafood place. We ordered a couple drinks, the Gibson Up and my personal favorite Vodka Sunset (mandarinvodka, OJ, sour mix, grenadine). We ended the night with dessert, the brownie w/ice cream and I got the lemon cheesecake. Theambiance also made this place great and the booths are big people friendly, that's also a huge plus for me as I don't likebooths for that reason LOL we WILL be back for more! Read more
The fried calamari was a little overcooked but other than that the food was great the staff was friendly and the service was... fast, considering how busy it was with it being Christmas Eve. The music was great and the atmosphere was very nice. Ourwaitress Sandy was spectacular. Read more
The food was excellent ???? I really enjoyed it, the service was only a 3 star. It could be that they just more servers but I'm... not sure that is the reason but our server didn't check on us enough and also forgot to meet our request more than once. Read more
