Cambria’s Best ‘Best Bets’ Christmas Holiday Dining and New Years ‘Hot Spots’

Prime Rib of BeefSure, they have pizza and pasta and all the great stuff they’ve become duly famous for, but wait… what’s this?  Owner Dennis Blume got a sudden yearning for prime rib and faster than you can say “where should we go to eat”, his restaurant is serving the best premium prime rib on the Central Coast.  Using recently patented cooking techniques and equipment, Mustache Pete’s serves a plateful (and I mean a plate full) of prime rib that exceeds the taste and texture of most ‘aged’ rib offered at far less reasonable prices elsewhere.  Oh, did I mention that Dennis promises ‘the best Millennium Party anywhere’.  He tells us that it’s pretty much sold out, but it’s worth a call to make sure.

Food Spirits & Fun

West End Bar & GrilleWe love these guys. Owners Michael and Joani do one hell heck of a job when it comes to providing Food Spirits and Fun. Look up ‘relax’ or ‘good bar food’ in the dictionary and you’ll see their picture.  

I ate my first ‘West Zen Dog’ a couple of years ago, and it went immediately on my ‘if-forced-to-eat-until-I-burst’ list.  This is where the locals go to watch locals.  Hell, this is where the locals go to become locals.  

Owners Michael Stoddard and Joanie Kemp tell us they are offering an Affordably-Priced New Year’s Eve Menu; Choose From: Steak; Steak & Scampi; Grilled Salmon; Linguini & Scampi and best of all there is No Cover Charge!

If it’s half as fun as most other nights are at the West End, you’ll still be talking about it in 2025.  

Tip: talk to Joanie while your there – she has a really cool voice.

Dinner Setting‘New Years Eve 1999 at Bistro Sole’ promises to be a culinary fete that could have been a century in the making.  The menu, which touts a ‘six course meal paired with wines, your choice of nine entrees and Bistro Sole’s excellent service’, features an assemblage of gastronomical delights that will not soon be forgotten by those fortunate enough to secure a reservation.  The entire menu, far too lengthy to print here, includes lobster medallions with lemon beurre blanc, essence of duck with chanterelle mushrooms, and roasted pheasant au champagne… you get the idea. (Guys: take her here for New Years, and I promise you’ll get more than just a kiss at midnight.)  Seating begins at 5.  Musical accompaniment.
