Came in for a quick drink, took too much effort to get someone’s attention to be seated. Finally got seated near front. Never had a server approach. Got up to ask about ordering and got barked at by apparent server who just kept sayywe needed to check in with the hostess. She didn’t even listen to what we were asking/saying. Hostess walked by and saw what was happening yet made no attempt to correct the server. We left without ordering. Not the customer service ambassadors to have if you want to stay in business.

Place has changed a lot from being SLO Brew. Very modern and cozy. Food is good. Didn’t see a burger but the tacos are great. Very nice outdoor seating by creek. In the heart of downtown SLO. Great place to come meet friends. Relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

I think is a really good place to have a good night, not specifically to enjoy just the food. The whole situation is five stars. Food is just 4 or 4.5. But ambiance+menu+service+decoration of the place+drinks everything is five. It’s an experience. If you want just the food you will have a 4.

The food was great, fresh, interesting, and delicious. There is something for everyone, we were in a group with a vegan, someone with severe food allergies, a meat and potatoes guy, multiple people on different complicated diets including aip, and everyone ate happily! The place is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. The drinks were good.

The food was amazing! I ordered the al pastor & fish tacos plus a side of the spicy cucumber. My fam member got a watered down charcoal lemonade which wasn’t worth the hype. The Bloody Mary is great!! While the waitresses were fast, the kitchen was not. Maybe their tactic was to make us wait and be hungry for the food? Either way the food was delicious and I would go there again.

Happened to walk in on opening night. Nice concept, creative food but a bit pricy. My hazy IPA tasted great but oddly no haze. Outdoor seating was cool.

The Christmas as Carissa is amazing! We had to wait 40 mins for a table but it was a Thursday night and made sense due to the farmers market. The vibe was festive, the drinks were good! Will try to make the brunch next time!

Absolutely terrible service. After waiting 2 hours for our table we were met with instant attitude from the hostess and our server. Don’t try to walk around and take photos while at a reserved table, they will give it to another reservation. Will never be back and can’t believe how rudely the staff treated us.
