    We started our dinner with the Cranberry and Goat Cheese small plate. It was really delicious. We had the Pan-seared Sea Bass and the lemon aioli added an amazing flavor to the fingerling potatoes, blistered tomatoes and carmelized fennel. We shared the meal and wished we hadn't as it was so good we wanted more. We were satisfied.....

    It was raining on Saturday night, so seated was a bit limited. The gentleman (manager) who sat us, I didn’t get his name unfortunately, was kind to offer us seating upstairs in the alcove/lounge area as an alternative to waiting for a table in the dining room. It was cool to experience a space, that regularly isn’t used for dinner guests, and loved the more relax feel of the leather sofa, chairs, & fireplace. Definitely felt more exclusive, and quiet enough to enjoy conversations with friends. Thank you for the great experience!

    With a name like “Granada Bistro” you would expect some connection with Spanish cuisine, but that wasn’t the case. We felt like it was a restaurant who didn’t know who it was. There were few menu options to choose from and nothing really caught our attention / appetite. We won’t go back…there are too many really good restaurants in SLO.

    This was a chic, cozy and tasty place for dinner. I got the bijou cocktail and lamb burger. The cocktail was tasty and the lamb burger was juicy and very flavorful! The fries were mediocre. The ambiance was cozy with the outdoor fire place. The waitress wasn’t the best I’ve had. Overall, the price, quality of food and wait staff: a solid 4 stars.

    Nice find in SLO. Ate outside and loved the fire pit and brick walls. We shared a Mary’s half chicken and a kale salad. Perfect amount for both of us. French press coffee was delicious. (Decaf for dinner time). Would go back anytime.

    Food choices were good for a Sunday leisure brunch. Service was great. Highly recommend Granada when in SLO. Couldn't decide what to have so we each had something different and shared. I had the sweet potato and chorizo hash and I Loved It!!!! The Bistro Benedict was very good also.

    A small charming local bistro with more outside seating (lots of heaters) than inside. A congenial local atmosphere. We sat inside, ate early so reasonable quiet. Service was excellent. Dinner and drinks were above average with the exception of my pasta dish. It could have been warmer and with a little more sauce as it cooled and congealed quickly, though the flavors were excellent.

    Not thrilled. We got seated in an upstairs area that was not a part of the restaurant. We are disappointed because we watched a couple that arrived after us get seated at what we believe was our reserved table in the restaurant, where we should have been seated. The upstairs is fine it just doesn’t feel like the restaurant I had taken the time to reserve. I am also disappointed because I requested to be seated inside the restaurant on this app, and the hostess said if it wasn’t raining we would have been outside which was the opposite of what we specified.

    The ambiance of the little Bistro was small but very cute. It was raining and cold so we did not try the outside patio, but it looked very inviting. The food was not as good as the ambiance but had potential so I would try it again.

    We heard great things about this restaurant, so we had high expectations. Our reservations were for outside, but it was pouring down rain, so they moved us inside to a tight space for a table for four. Very small inside and all the tables were full and overall festive (New Year's Eve). The door was left open, so it was pretty drafty and chilly. The service was fine but pretty slow. Our server was pleasant. The food was okay, but I would not say great. The meal was expensive, and I do not think I would return because of this alone. Our friends love this place so it may just be a personal opinion of the food and ambience and value.

    Our first visit to Granada Bistro was several days ago. We enjoyed the experience so much that we came back just to get dessert. The wait staff is amazing. The food is delicious and the ambience was so lovely. We sat outside on a cool December night but the heaters kept us warm. We will definitely be back.

    I went for the Christmas brunch. The menu looked nice. The market salad was excellent. I had the smoked salmon bagel and my friend has the sweet potato chorizo. The bagel was cold. The salmon was good. There was no lemon. Capers, dill and cream cheese were good too. But having all that on a cold bagel not so good. The sweet potato chorizo was so so…. Very bland. I was pretty surprised when I ordered a “refill” on my coke and was charged for 2. At $5.00 a piece the server should have said something. I guess for $35.00 a person for a prix fix brunch that does not include a coffee it could have been better. Service was really good until the end when we waited for over 15 min for the plates to be removed and for the tab. The ambience was nice though and the weather was perfect.

    Brunch on the street-level patio (a charming quiet street BTW), in a cozy corner with foliaged privacy. The energy of other diners was positive, staff was attentive and we were unhurried. This will be a new regular spot for us.

    Our server was fantastic! The brightest spot in our entire evening!!! Unfortunately, the food was very mediocre. Flavors were very nondescript on all the dishes we ordered and the hot dishes were served luke warm. The atmosphere is lovely, especially the outdoor patio. All in all, it was a pleasant enough experience but we are not eager to return any time soon.

    Great ambiance on the patio! It was a chilly night, but the heaters kept us warm. Service was very friendly and attentive. Brussels Sprout appetizer was tasty - the capers really sealed the deal. Entrees were so-so - the duck was a smallish leg on a huge piece of cornbread. We never did find the cranberries. The Ahi Soba Salad was nice, but the dressing overwhelmed the fish. We’ll probably go back for another try - as the menu had some other interesting items
