"This is what I put on Yelp. My husband and I celebrated Valentine 's day with dinner at the Burton House and Grill. This is a new restaurant in Nipomo. It 's a pleasant restaurant and a nice addition to our local choices. Simple decor, nice linen covered tables, quiet music, good dinnerware. Bill, the Maitre D is a sweet gentle person bending over backwards to make us comfortable showing us a place to sit while we waited for a clear table and bringing water to those who needed it. My husband and I have done many many Valentine dinners in our life together and some were horrific. It 's not really the greatest time to go to dinner as that many people at once usually yields some sort of problem for the restaurant. However, this was very nice. Bill handed my husband a rose saying that this is for your wife. She will appreciate it coming from you more than me. So sweet. Our waitress, Elizabeth was great. She served our food in a very timely manner with no rush or no lag, just right, and always with a smile. Our food was good. We had the four course valentine menu. The mini Ravioli Appetizer was a little bland but I added salt and it was very good then. I tend to like my meals saltier than they were serving but for some this was probably perfect. The Lobster I was served was delicious. Lots of Flavor. The Filet Mignon was cooked just the way I like it, medium rare, was nicely flavored and tender. The grilled asparagus were just right. One complaint, The Bearnaise Sauce for the steak was not good. Bland and chunky. I don 't like to have to ask what is this sauce? Perhaps the chef was trying to be innovative. I 'd suggest going back to the basics on that. The strawberry dessert was simple but yummy. The food tasted good, the service was great. We will go back and suggest everyone give the place a try."

"We were first seated in an almost empty lobby within inches of a couple. When we asked about a number of different open tables we were told that they’d either been reserved by request or not available because they were for hotel guests. Strange. Our first server didn’t know what she was doing and didn’t write anything down. We ordered two drinks, steak and frites and the crudo. Our waitress didn’t know that frites were fries-she thought they were mashed potatoes (NBD). Our food arrived well before drinks even though the place was almost empty. When the waitress saw this she said that the bartender was in the basement looking for ingredients for my drink (vodka Ricky: vodka, ice, lime, simple syrup and soda). I’m not sure what they’d be missing from a bar from that list, but ok… Except what I received was whisky with soda and bitters… Eventually I did receive a drink but not what I ordered. Our waitress was replaced by Jessie and Alejandro. Both gave excellent service. To make up for this lack of quality in our initial experience we were offered a free dessert and accidentally received two. As we were leaving I met some friends and stopped by the bar to buy them champagne on me. What happened next explained a lot about my drink order debacle: 3 bartenders couldn’t identify a single bottle of champagne nor could they identify what to offer me instead. The staff clearly needs training here. We’d intended on a long evening of cocktails after dinner but decided to go to the bar down the street instead."
