Schooners in Cayucos

If you are looking for a casual place to eat. Schooners is a peaceful, relaxing setting with endless ocean views including the Cayucos pier. Tell the host you want to sit on the top deck next to the window to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. The wait is worth it. The food is good, portions are average in size. I like the fish n chips, the hamburgers are good too. I ask for extra crispy fries. Service is decent if its not too busy.
This Restaurant has Italian food. Home made bread right out of the oven, delicious clam chowder, the short rib roast is my favorite dish. The proportion can feed two people.

Rosa's home made bread is delicious. You can purchase extra loafs with butter. I love the special rib roast with mash potatoes, green beans. The meat is so tender as it melts into your mouth. I do not recommend the dinner salads. The clam chowder is amazing and a must if you are a clam chowder lover.

Just a short walk from the peir. Ask for the rolls that just came out of the oven or are about to be coming out of the oven. I order cream cheese. If I can't get them hot I won't buy a roll.
