San Simeon Beach Grill

We were looking for a quick meal along with a couple of drinks. There weren't many options nearby, and after checking the reviews, this place seemed like the best choice.

I visited this restaurant after a fantastic day at the coast and the beach area near the sea lions. They offer some excellent grill options and straightforward seafood dishes that are quite enjoyable.

We had been staying at the Cavalier Oceanfront Resort since the afternoon of May 30th. On Thursday, June 1st, we decided to have dinner at a restaurant across the freeway. So, we...

Here's a scam! Came here on Saturday, 26 November at 12 noon and my parents ordered some wine while I asked for a cocktail list as the bar was full of people watching the FIFA game. My parents were served the wrong wine and I was told that NO BARTENDER was available in the restaurant or bar. This place has literally bar and barbecue in its name, but has no bartender and therefore no cocktails, simply overpriced beer and overpriced wine. $17.95 for an appetizer Quesadilla. $17.95 for fish and chips. $13.95 for a Veggie burger . $26.95 for a 12 inch Hawaiian or sour pizza. This place has moved my inner Jews and I am angry at the high prices for moderate service and food. I only ordered not to blaze my parents, but if I had the choice to starve for the day or eat in this place, I would go hungry. Fish and chips were not bad, but were also not great, probably a 5-6/10. Should have been $12, but instead it was only about $18. End price for our LIGHT meal of two glasses of wine, two fish and chips and one shrimp and chips, was $75 without tip!!! The service was moderate and despite not even half capacity, this bar and grill was less attractive than a Denny 's and more expensive than a quality stone house. No thanks, never again! Avoid this place and go somewhere else; save your time, your money and your dignity.

The terrace is quite pleasant, but the chairs weren't very comfortable. Given the prices, it would be nice if they could upgrade them. The food, however, was excellent. I really enjoyed the marinara sauce with my pasta, and the added chicken was a nice touch. The garlic cheese bread was also tasty.
