and elephant seal rookery, there’s
a warm, family-friendly ambiance
and affordable, high-quality cuisine.

The vision that built a San
Simeon legacy
Founder Harris Victor and
his wife, Maxine Terry, visited
San Simeon in 1959 to escape the
cold weather of Washington. At
the time, there was only one hotel
in the area, causing the couple to
wonder why.
Harris had a vision and
purchased some San Simeon
property without another thought
that same day. That land hosted
the couple’s first project, the Silver
Surf Motel. In 1964, they sold the
motel and purchased an acre of
oceanfront that became the Cava-
lier Oceanfront Resort. He built
the first shopping center in San
Simeon in 1972. Unfortunately,
he passed away unexpectedly in
1975, but his vision continued.
After a few years without his lead-
ership, the business reorganized
and began expanding in 1980.
The following year, the Cavalier
Coastal Kitchen was opened.
Harris’s legacy lives on
through his projects and the
memorable experiences of guests
and staff.
Cavalier Coastal Kitchen is
located at 9415 Hearst Dr. in San
Simeon. Open 7 days a week, 7:00
a.m. to 9:00 p.m. For more infor-
mation, visit cavalierresort.com or
call (805) 927-4688.
Serving breakfast, lunch, and
dinner, the restaurant is part of
the Cavalier Oceanfront Resort.
The restaurant is known for its
premium steaks and hamburgers,
and some of the finest seafood in
San Simeon.
The breakfast menu includes
tempting dishes such as Bai-
ley’s French toast and specialty
omelets. Breakfast is just the
beginning. Lunch offerings in-
clude burgers, fish and chips, and
grilled salmon. Dinner caps off
a day of North Coast adventure
with steaks, locally caught sea-
food, fresh local vegetables, and
much more. Top it all off with a
selection of award-winning local
San Luis Obispo County wines.
