Okay, I have read many reviews on OpenTable about the Cypress Beach House and though I had some concerns we went ahead and booked it for December 25, Christmas night 2024. I will give you the lowdown. First of all, you should know that the restaurant is outdoors, on the roof deck of the Hilton-affiliated Inn at the Pier. It can be chilly if not downright cold in the winter and there are no windbreaks (yet). They provided us with a gas heater, which worked pretty well for the parts of our bodies above the table but our legs were cold. I was told they had blankets but we just used our sweatshirts and wore coats. If it actually rains, they serve in the breakfast area in the ground-floor lobby. Executive summary: The food is excellent. The waiter was superb. The kitchen was extremely slow. On warmer days the setting is spectacular, especially for sunsets. We had breakfast our two mornings (lobby area) and met the restaurant manager both times. She joined earlier this year and has been making progress on all the problems you can read in the reviews. Regarding the slow kitchen, on the night we dined two of the cooks were out, one from illness and the other from a death in the family. So the cooking was done by the executive chef and the restaurant manager. At dinner our waiter visited us frequently to apologize for the delay. He eventually comped (all three of) our drinks (and another table's desserts, I heard). He was terrific. They were out of the main things we wanted to order (halibut and grilled artichoke) so I had the crudo (marinated raw snapper) instead and it was large for a starter and delicious. The grilled broccolini with an almond-balsamic sauce was fabulous. All the dishes satisfied. The wine list is well-chosen and reasonable. The restaurant will be moving away from its Italian component to feature California cuisine, which is good. They will be getting windbreaks and a roofed pergola in 2025 Come in the spring, at sunset. We will.

The server was overwhelmed with tables. From the time we sat down to getting our food, it took 50 minutes. We waited another 15 minutes to get the bill. We had to stand up and go to the register to pay.

What's not to love about this rooftop location in the iconic California beach town of Pismo Beach? The view is fantastic and the coastal cool vibe will have you humming Beach Boys tunes in no time. The food, however, is the shining star with coastal Italian fare celebrating the best seasonal flavors and fresh seafood dishes too. The only thing that distracts unfortunately is the slooooooooow service. Sadly, the other reviews are 100% spot on in regard to service. As long as you can look past the service issue (which is really tough to ignore these days considering the cost of dining out) then you'll be in for a delicious meal here.

The ambiance of the rooftop is fabulous. The service was poor. Either they did not have enough staff, or they just want your dining experience to be really really slow. I ended up going to the bar to get something for us all to drink. The food took a long time (is it because they have to bring it up to the rooftop? If so, maybe that should be on the advertising. That it will be a very slow dining experience.) The people were friendly, just so slow and didn't check on us much. The view was amazing and I will be back just for that. The food was better than it used to be. The wine prices are outrageous. I eat out all over the city and this was not a good value for how much they actually pour. I would have said it was 5-6 ounces for $14-17. That was disappointing. But I will be back just because of the fantastic view and the ambiance. The remodel up there is really great. Well done. The firepits are awesome.
