The food was absolutely wonderful, and the service was exceptional. Our waitress, Jules, was absolutely amazing. A fine dining experience. The pork chop is hands down the best we have ever had. The seabase was also delicious. We also had charbroil oysters and tuna tower appetizers out of this world . We highly recommend trying this place.

Gastronomica orgasmica! I am Orthodox Christian, so I hope that's not offensive, but it's true!! We did not plan this trip and on a whim decided to go get some oysters. Holy smokes! This place will knock your socks off! The chef Jared has outdone himself with the presentation as well as the texture:flavor:proportions. We have already decided to come back and stay next time in Pismo Beach just to eat here again for my birthday. Wow! If you want a wonderful gathering or an intimate meal that will have your taste buds feeling like they have melted into a happy dream, then come to the Oyster Loft. Did I mention the 5 star service? This place is so worth it!

We highly enjoyed our 5 star seafood dinner. Our meals were wonderfully prepared and the waiter was very friendly and we followed his recommendations. We booked our table early in advance as this place seems to be very popular for good reasons.

WE LOVED IT! Wonderful food and service. And the view from the deck is outstanding! Kinda windy, but bring a jacket because it's amazing. The server was well-versed with the menu and options. Great food & wine pairing suggestions. And they took my food allergies seriously. The two kinds of oysters were very fresh and tasty. Their Roasted Brussels Sprouts were the best we've ever tried. And the Salmon Tataki has THE most amazing Emulsion. Very subtle and flavorful at the same time! Overall, a wonderful date night out! We're definitely coming back!

This was our first time here and it was suggested by friends we were dining with. We started off with cocktails at the bar while we were waiting for our table. The view from our table was excellent. Our server was friendly and joking with us. All the food we ordered was delicious. The grilled oysters were excellent. In fact, everything we ordered and sampled was great. We would absolutely return to dine here again.

The Oyster Loft in Pismo Beach is an absolute must! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the upscale yet relaxed atmosphere and the incredible **ocean views**—the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried was perfectly prepared, and you can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they serve. The service was top-notch as well—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly without being overbearing. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to a great meal by the sea, **Oyster Loft delivers on all levels. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance, great service and wonderful food. My hubby and I were looking for something light with drinks and decided on the Oyster Loft which turned out to be a great choice! We opted to sit at the bar so we didn't have to wait the hour for a table. The bartenders were phenomenal, friendly and talented. Best Mai Tai outside of Maui! The Tuna Poke Tower looked like a piece of art and the taste was out of this world. The freshest and tastiest poke with lots of avocado. The thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes plus the sauces made all the flavors come together perfectly. We also had half a dozen fresh oysters and they were also mouthwatering delicious. 10/10 recommend!
