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…

How is this a FAVORITE??
by resoder at Citysearch
Since relocating to San Luis we've tried Big Sky a few times. The first, I was brought the wrong soup. The second, I was impressed with the quantity of food on my plate, but half of it was flavorless. The third try had the same results, some of the entrees were not warm enough... if they're so darn fast, how is it that they can't get hot food on the table? REally? I think they take pride in being a local favorite and seem to be okay with being mediocre in flavor and service. Perception is everything.
- Pros: Some great flavors
- Cons: Consistancy. Complete the culinary thought.

solid restaurant with good food
by hempist at Citysearch
Most of these reviews are for breakfast so here's a recent dinner review. The food is fresh and the ingredients are healthy. The little corn bread muffins they bring out to the table are really good. I ordered the special which was crab cakes with coconut rice and sugar snap peas. The crab cakes and the sauce were excellent, the coconut rice and peas were low on flavor. My partner ordered the lamb shank with potato latkes. The meat was delicious and the sauce was thick and flavorful. I think the lamb was a really good dish. The beer selection was pretty good. One reviewer mentioned that the service was very fast and I noticed that too. I think it's because you seat on hard, slippery benches that are really deep; you have to sit forward with no back support and that can get really uncomforatble after 30 minutes or so. Maybe that's why they hurry you through!

Very nice ambiance
by philipchasen at Citysearch
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
