We’re so grateful for your generosity! We’ve chosen not to have a traditional registry. If you’d like to give a gift, we would truly appreciate contributions toward our honeymoon.
We kindly request an adults-only celebration, unless otherwise noted on your invitation.
We have so many favorites! Our go-to spot is Nate's on Marsh. We also love Giuseppe's Cucina Rustica, 1865 Craft House & Kitchen, and Piadina (located in Hotel San Luis Obispo, which also has an awesome rooftop bar). If you’re looking for something quick and casual, we recommend Petra Mediterranean Pizza and Grill, Firestone Grill (the tri-tip sandwich is a SLO staple), San Luis Taqueria, San Miguel Taqueria, High Street Deli, and My Friend Mike's Pizza. And don't miss Black Sheep Bar & Grill—it’s a low-key downtown spot with surprisingly great food.
