Where Coastal Cooking Meets Community
Marcerro was built on a simple idea: bring bright, seasonal, coastal-inspired cooking to a place where people come to relax, play, and connect. Founded on Australian culinary roots and shaped by the spirit of coastal California, our food is fresh, unfussy, and meant to be enjoyed together.
We cook with the ingredients that define the Central Coast—seafood, local produce, ranch-grown meats, and small-batch goods from nearby makers. Our menu ranges from vibrant small plates to Marcerro favorites designed for sharing. At the bar, we pour local craft beers, creative cocktails with a twist, and a wine list celebrating the region’s best.

Meet Chef Tret
At the heart of Marcerro’s kitchen is Chef Tret, whose style blends coastal simplicity with bold, bright flavors. With a background shaped by both Australian and California cuisine, Chef Tret focuses on ingredients at their peak, letting freshness lead and technique stay subtle but purposeful.
He works closely with local purveyors and makers to build a menu that changes with the seasons and reflects the surrounding landscape. His dishes are designed around balance: clean flavors, thoughtful textures, and plates meant to be shared among friends and family.
From reimagined coastal classics to inventive small plates, Chef Tret’s approach keeps Marcerro rooted in authenticity while always evolving.
A Place to Gather
Set beside Dairy Creek’s nine-hole golf course and the Swing Time Toptracer driving range, Marcerro offers one of the most scenic spots in San Luis Obispo County. Expansive patios, open-air seating, and hilltop views make it an easy place to settle in—post-round, for sunset drinks, or for a casual meal with family and friends.
More than a restaurant, Marcerro is a place to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy good company in a beautiful setting.
Welcome to Marcerro.
