Editorial Review for Big Sky Cafe – by Susan Blue

The Scene
San Luis Obispo's trendier set gathers here: locals who linger over the newspaper after breakfast and casually dressed weekend travelers who come in from sightseeing. The space is bright and airy, with cheerful colors on the walls, stars painted on the ceiling and a vaguely Mayan theme. Service is friendly but can be slow.

The Food

The menu here offers tasty, fresh dishes for all three meals. For breakfast, the blue cheese, apple and smoked bacon omelet is delicious and unusual. For a sweeter start to the day, opt for beignets, served three ways: with sugar and cinnamon, stuffed with berries, or filled with chocolate. Lunch includes a nice variety of burgers, salads and sandwiches. For dinner, fish dishes and hearty meat and vegetable plates round out the menu. The cafe also offers a good variety of California wines.

I'm from New York, so maybe my criteria are a little skewed. I liked this restaurant but did not think the food was anything better than good. It's good solid food, not gourmet. The restaurant is lovely inside. There is a nice varied choice choice on the menu and the prices are reasonable. The wine list is short but nice and reasonably priced. The meal was served very quickly (a bit too quickly if you're trying to talk and enjoy the wine). Haven't tried breakfast but I'll try it tomorrow. I suspect it will be good.

Pros: Ambiance, wine, price

Cons: Service too fast

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Eating out in SLO can be monotonous at times, because there just aren't all that many restraunts. But Big Sky always seems to be different and exciting. The variety and health aspects are what I like most. Me and my husband have lived here for 6 years, and Big Sky has always been our favorite.

Pros: Great food, healthy, variety

Cons: Small place, can get crowded, you might have to wait outside for a seat.
