    Great Atmosphere, Food, And Service!

    Gorgeous back patio overlooking the creek and a great happy hour menu. The calamari was so fresh and delicious! Our dog loved watching the creek while we dined at a corner creekside table.

    Amazing Atmosphere For Humans N Dogs

    Really good food and beautiful setting right on the water. They gave the hounds a nice bowl of water and we had plenty of space to keep them settled while we enjoyed our meal. Worth visiting!

    Great service

    Large back deck with view of creek below. Went there on a cold, eventually rainy, night. Pulled out an umbrella for us and brought blankets. Constantly checked on us. Great food. Water for dog. Very friendly.

    evening meal

    We visited SLO for one evening and chose this resto based on reviews in this site (bringfido). We were not disappointed. We had a lovely table outside. The food was great...my husband and I had curries that were very nice.

    Excellent

    Excellent. We had the calamari, spring rolls, Thai red curry ( not that hot ) and the scallops. All delicious. Very dog friendly - had 2 mutts in toe. Very nice service from Rose.

    Wonderful Sunday Brunch

    What a great spot by the creek in SLO! A little more upscale than most places you can take your dog. Great to be able to have really good food and bring the puppy (75 lbs) also! Very dog friendly. Fabulous patio with plenty of heaters for cooler weather. We had a delicious brunch! We will definitely be back!

    Beautiful setting

    The outdoor patio is beautiful at night and the heaters make it pleasant on a cool evening. Our dog happily curled up under our table while we dined on delicious food. The Creme Brûlée was exceptional. Service was superb. Would go back in a heartbeat.

    Absolutely GREAT SERVICE!


    Staying in the area for a few nights with our two dogs and this was by far the most amazing atmosphere. Our dogs were welcomed by many staff members and the food was unbelievable. We will be coming to this restaurant our next time around.

    Beautiful Patio Food/Drinks Just OK

    So we drank and ate here the other day. The patio is worth the trip, but considering the price and quality of the food and beverage can only give it 3 stars. They didn't offer a water bowl for the dog either which is pretty standard for dog friendly these days.

    good food, great service, dog friendly

    The service here is outstanding. Our pug ripped it's nail off there (hubby put in chair, stupid : ( ). We enjoyed our tapas, but had to leave when our other course came to go to the vet. The host went out of his way to find an emergency vet for us. He then printed up the directions for us. So nice. A little pricey, but the service makes it worth it.
