We literally all were trading spoons of each other's amazing meals! Super delicious as well as professionally cooked and served! I would vote this as Michelin star worthy! Wow! The combinations of salty, sweet, and savory were unreal in every dish! We were too full for a dessert, but we shared the Strawberry Biscuit! To top it off, the chef came out to serve us our dessert! Thank you Jacob! Well be back soon!

This place has never let us down. The food is always fantastic and the wait staff are supremely personable. I love the phrase they used when went recently. "Have fun". Food should be delicious and fun. We received an octopus dish previously, gratis, from the chef. The owners are typically always there and care about what they do, and how they do it. Classified, perhaps, as refined hominess. This restaurant always feels very welcoming and accommodating. Skip the wood-fired spot down the way, which has become a bit more commercialized, and spend your money here. You will not be disappointed.

We've been here before, but visited again since we were in town. The bread and artichoke never disappoints! I ordered the halibut and it was so delicious. The super soft halibut was paired with a sharp coconut sauce that complimented the rich fish. The porridge gave substance to the dish and added a nice flavor, and the veggies were crisp but still nicely cooked. Will come again if we are in the area.

06/09/2023: Wow. Great experience. Staff is very friendly and engaging. Food was delicious. Ordered the duck ramen and couldn't have been more satisfied. You can tell a lot of effort went into the dish. Broth was clean and flavorful. Duck was tender and delicious. Noodles perfectly cooked.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Spoon Trade, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The inviting atmosphere and family-style service made me feel like a cherished member of their own family. The food, prepared with care and meaning, left a lasting impression. This place is a true gem on the Central Coast, and I highly recommend it for an unforgettable meal. Five stars all the way!

We sat at the bar. Food was amazing. I think the bartenders name was Patrick. He was also very amazing. Knew a lot about the area. Sorry if that’s not your name but I’m pretty sure it was. We will definitely be going back.

I absolutely loved this place. I'll be honest at first glance I wasn't into it and I didn't recognize a lot on the menu or it was foods I don't normally have such as duck but everything was AMAZING I was so impressed and amazed and our waiter was awesome and really cared about making sure we were enjoying ourselves. 10/10

Was a great experience all around. Loved the customer service, was treated like I was a old friend who was over for dinner. Love that they locally source ingredients Tried meals I never thought I ever would and they were all delicious. The wine list is superb. Super knowledgeable staff. Can't beat the price point for all the amazing items you can choose from.

The food was absolutely delicious, our waitress had the best service we’ve received in awhile, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The plants…!!! 😍

The Spoon Trade in Grover Beach has been added to our destination stops while visiting the Central Coast. We love this area for their wineries and outstanding restaurants. Our dinner at The Spoon Trade reinforced our need to continue to lodge in the Arroyo Grande/Pismo Beach area. The restaurant is small but does offer nice patio seating. Our server, Jonet was absolutely top notch. She was personable and very efficient in expediting service. We also had the honor of visiting with the owner, Brooke. She made us feel welcome and part of the family. The menu is seasonal as they source locally for their menu products. Everything seems to be made from scratch in-house and you can taste it in every bite. We started with grilled sourdough bread that came with butter and a garlic oil. It was the best sourdough bread I have experienced. My wife had the Kitchen Noodle Soup and I ordered the chicken and waffles. The soup was outstanding. It had an egg that was infused with the broth and very tender pork belly with a mountain of noodles. My chicken was crunchy, moist and loaded with flavor. It epitomized the term "finger licken chicken". The waffle was both sweet and savory and maintained its crunch. I added some of their homemade hot sauce to the chicken which sent this dish to Flavor Town. We are so impressed with this restaurant we plan to bring our wine group next time we are in town. The Spoon Trade in Grover Beach, CA is a very easy 5 star review. It is definitely a place you need to visit.
