It has been several years since I’ve been to this restaurant and I still dream about the food I had here! It is THAT good! Such a great experience. I’m absolutely coming back if I’m ever in the area!

This was one of the only restaurants open when the rest of the town was closed on a random Wednesday- and we were so happy with our experience.

Something happened to our server so we ended up getting helped by someone who ordinarily does other work busing tables etc and he was AMAZING!! He definitely should be promoted to server. He was so attentive, always approaching with a big smile and all three of us adored him! He also knew all about the food and drinks and had great recommendations.

All of the food was amazing- next level! It was so good we even grappled over it lol.

Obviously be prepared to spend a lot for small portion sizes but this was expected given the type of restaurant it is.

There’s indoor and outdoor seating with heating. Both are equally charming.

Having been here before for dinner and enjoying our experience, we tried brunch on a warm late October Sunday. My wife had the mimosa that had watermelon juice replacing the orange juice (the juice used varies weekly) while I had a Michelada which for me a bit under spiced through tasted okay. For starters we ordered the cinnamon rolls which were straight from the oven and very tasty.

My wife had the special for the day which was a brioche covered with smoked bacon, shallots, a cream sauce all which were very good. Others at our table had the Spanish tortilla which came with a salad and though it tasted good the portion of the tortilla was on the smaller size. I went for the steak and eggs and while the steak was very well seasoned and cooked perfectly the frites ended up as waffle fries which were okay. Service was good and we appreciated her cheerful personality. While nice to have another local option for brunch wouldn't be high on our list due to the pricing though we will continue to come for dinner.

Pico was one of the best, if not the best, dining experience. Our server Misty was so sweet and server assistant Danny was on top of everything. Chef John was an artist. He was also very attentive and accommodating to our diet restrictions. Also, wine expert Kase was very helpful with helping us find exactly what we were looking for. Thank you everyone for making our night so special!

Ambience was good and cozy . We did one dos i.e grilled shrimp this was average nothing special but was decent and 2 Tres they are duck breast which was soft and yummy and whole branzino, am personally not a fish liking person but I enjoyed eating this recipe . The fish was cooked properly and decent seasoning so could taste the fish with little chopped onions and lime tasted delicious

We had a spectacular meal here. The cocktails are wonder. I enjoyed my old fashion which had a unique twist and would have ordered another if I hadn't been driving. The appetizers are incredibly innovative and wonderful . The crispy cauliflower the Burarata and the Avocado crudo with caviar were so great I thought I was at a Michelin restaurant. The bacon praline served in a mini cast iron pan with maple syrup was out of this world. I could have just had two or three of these and been totally satisfied. But since we were sharing we had to continue on to the mains. And I must say my line caught halibut from Gaviota was perfect on a bed of jasmine rice. My partner had the pork chop which was also terrific. All the ingredients are sourced locally which made the entire meal all the more special. Hands down the best restaurant in the Los Olivos/Los Alamos area.

This place was solid- creative menu and good service. I will say the structure of the menu is a bit confusing- it's split up into three different sections (uno, dos, and tres). Uno and dos kind of both fall into the appetizer category- it just seems unnecessary.

Big fan of how most of the plants out back are harvested and used in the food. The waitress was nice but she used my full name from the credit card receipt- kind of off putting.

We made reservations at Pico for 3 pm on a Saturday and everything was phenomenal.

Our server, Kerry (sp?), was fabulous and made the experience SO personal for us. She recommended items on the menu, explained the dishes to us, and make us feel like we were VIPs!

The vodka and gin cocktails were DELICIOUS and definitely had a vintage-vibe to them. We had the olives which were in this olive oil that was so good, I sopped it all up with the bread provided. Then, we moved onto the beef tartar, which was my husband's favorite. After than, we had the steak frites - the steak was perfect and the horseradish sauce was perfect! We also had the beet salad...and lemme tell you, I'm still thinking about it! It was beets on a smoked cheese base with pistachios. (see pic) Just WOW.

For dessert, we had the blueberry "hand pie" with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.

What a gem!!! And the chickens meandering around didn't hurt either - they were SO CUTE!!! The restaurant is gorgeous, but the outside is just a slice of heaven. Definitely recommend!!
