Sushi and Ramen - it’s in Los Osos, about 20 minutes away, great outdoor vibe and food is pretty good, service is terrible and annoying. Not worth the trip alone, but if you end up in Los Osos it’s a great spot.

Sightseeing
The steak house is pretty good, but most people go for the vibe/decor. They have a few different bars that also serve the full menu so you could go and just grab a drink to see it.

Restaurant in the dolphin bay resort in Pismo. Food is really good, go early for sunset and get a drink next door at Marisols first. They’re also known for their brunch, but I haven’t been.
