San Luis Obispo Restaurant Guide

Located on a great corner along the entry to charming San Luis Obispo is Corner View Restaurant & Bar. One of town's newest restaurants it has already garnered the approval of the locals as one of the "Best of SLO" in the annual New Times readers poll. The beautiful restaurant is both spacious and charming. An elegant mission style interior is accented with vintage photographs of old time SLO and scenic photos of the vineyards of Edna Valley and Paso Robles. A relaxed atmosphere and friendly service make Corner View "the spot" for a great dining experience. Whether it is a leisurely brunch on Saturday or Sunday, a business meeting at lunch, a delicious dinner after work, or an evening of entertaining visiting friends on Saturday night, we have something for everyone.

The name Corner View Restaurant & Bar is apropos considering the open views of downtown San Luis Obispo through the huge arched windows. Watch the activity and the people as they cruise along Marsh and Chorro streets. Once the site of a local bank the high ceilings and Spanish tile floors evoke an airiness that is warmed by the abundance of sunlight pouring through the windows. During the evening the ambiance transforms as the light from the suspended mission style lamps glow illuminating the outside corner. Mahogany tables and comfortable chairs contribute a sleek elegance to contrast the neighborly charm of the menu and service.

Our U-shaped bar is perfect for meeting friends. Solid red oak, accented by gleaming brass, every seat has a clear view of the two flat screen TVs. Let us craft an icy cold martini or suggest the perfect local wine to pair with your appetizer or dinner. We pour over 25 wines by the glass, featuring many from Edna Valley, Paso Robles and Santa Ynez Valley. Don't be surprised if a local winemaker is behind the bar as a guest bartender for the evening.

Corner View Restaurant & Bar is one of the few restaurants in the area that can accommodate large parties up to fifty people. Our mezzanine overlooks the bar and dining room yet is private enough to hoot and holler! If you are planning a birthday party, reception, business meeting, wine dinner, cocktail party or gathering of 15 people or more give us a call and we can customize a menu to fit your budget that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. We do all the work and you get the accolades!
