The Coast is the Most

I recently had a chance to drive out to the Left Coast of these Untidy States of America. I drove out and spent some time in the Central Coast area of California, then drove up the coast on Highway 1 to San Francisco. What a drive! Spectacular vistas, incredible beauty and quaint little diners and business' all along the way. It was a trip I will never forget and hope to do again soon.

First stop was Pismo Beach, where my wife and I celebrated our anniversary by dining at a great little restaurant called Steamers. Steamers is situated atop a bluff right above the beach, and what an incredible view there is! If you go, arrive early in order to get a window seat. If not, wait for one. Calling ahead for reservations is very much recommended. Request the window tables.

While my wife and I were dining on a superior surf and turf dish (it was a daily special, and oh how special it was!) consisting of fresh lobster and delectable filet mignon, we were glancing out the window taking in the incredible view and sunset, when we look out to the water and see a pod of dolphins sounding. What a sight! My wife is just crazy for dolphins too so it was a really special treat for her. Long story short, one of the best lobster and steak dishes I've ever had. Fairly reasonable on the prices too, as I believe dinner and wine for the two of us ran around $100.00. Can't beat that price for great wine, lobster and filet mignon. They also served it with some wonderful garlic shrimp and tender whitefish.

Pismo Beach and the surrounding communities are a wonderful place, beautiful and well worth the trip. I highly recommend the area on any trip to the coast, and Steamers was just the place to spend our anniversary. I recommend not only the community but Steamers as well.
