Hapy Bistro - Pismo Beach, California

This is a quiet, unassuming place in a small shopping center. The exterior is not fancy yet clean. Once you step inside, the place takes on a whole different feel. The interior is rich and lavish, yet still inviting. The staff is very friendly and attentive. My meal was prepared very well. The presentation was quite attractive. The food was fresh, tasty, seasoned perfectly, and arrived at the table arranged very artistically on the plate. I stopped here for a quick birthday dinner and was not disappointed. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.

Stopped by here while traveling and first experience was awesome! I appreciate the fact that there’s both indoor and outdoor dining. The indoor dining is dimly lit with a refrigerated wall full of wine and more wine all around the restaurant, definitely an adult atmosphere. The outdoor seating is definitely more family friendly. My husband and I decided to sit outside since we have 2 toddlers and they are full of energy. They were able to run around and look at part of the freeway and cars passing by from a safe distance. The server was awesome, he was very knowledgeable and attentive and also family to the owner! The wine he recommended was delicious and paired perfectly with our meal so we bought a bottle to take home. For dessert I chose the chocolate cake that’s made in house and if you like chocolate or dark chocolate I highly recommend. It’s the best food that I’ve had at Pismo honestly. There’s so many American breakfast and lunch spots it’s hard to find something good so this place is a gem. My only gripe is that we were seated outside in a cold dark corner. The entire outdoor seating was available so it would’ve been great to be asked if we had a preference on our seating cause I wish I would’ve been able to sit in the sun and enjoy my food, family and wine with a view of the sky and not a dark corner. Next time I’ll definitely ask for it though. Aside from that, everything was awesome. I highly recommend this place. I’ll have to look for the photos and update it for this post.

Been too long since we have visited. NEVER disappointed with the food and the owners warm greetings are personal. We had the lamb burger (at the suggestion of Sam) and crab cakes and we were totally thrilled with everything. We will make sure to go back more often.

Exceptional experience ….from ambience to service to food. The decor is charming with a cozy patio / covered outdoor seating to relax in. We tried the crab cakes for appetizer. Lightly crusted with panko and full of flavor. Not to be missed ! We ordered the grilled salmon and chicken sheesh kabab for mains and both were delicious and in generous portions. Last and not the least, we got the chocolate cake for dessert and it was a pack of rich chocolate taste, moistness, not-too-sweet and decadence all at the same time ! The staff ate super friendly and make the experience better.

The ambience is good and the place looks classy. The food I would say was ok and not mind blowing. It wasn't crowded when we arrived. We ordered a shawarma, oven roasted chicken bites, beer battered fish n chips and Shrimp Ceviche.

Definitely lot of scope for improvement.

I can’t rave enough about this restaurant.
Hapy team members are friendly, quick with service & the food was delicious. The entire meal experience was fantastic, start to finish.

My husband ordered the gyro salad & it was the best he ever had. I ordered filet mignon kabob with grilled vegetables & mashed potatoes. The steak was tender, perfectly cooked & the vegetables were spiced to perfection.

We are so “Hapy” we selected this wonderful location to celebrate my birthday. Hats off to the staff, chefs & Hapy team staff. We know where to go, when visiting Pismo - ❤️ this Hapy Grover Beach restaurant.

Excellent pastrami sandwich. Beautiful Mediterranean ambiance. Many offers unique variations of standard fare.
Love the capers in the salad.
Also, the carrot cake is delish.

The Hopy Bistro exudes an upscale ambiance, complemented by an impressive selection of wine and craft beer. The staff is genuinely welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The lamb sandwich on olive bread is a standout, with succulent flavors that satisfy. The avgolemono soup is comforting, and the Cesar salad is a perfect balance of freshness and tang. The outdoor Bach part was reallt.nicez with TVs and cool vibes. This place truly delivers an exceptional dining experience.
