As The Tribune meanders through the decades as part of its nostalgia series, the names of some beloved restaurants that are no longer around keep cropping up.

On the North Coast, often-mentioned eateries include The Brambles Dinner House, Ian’s Restaurant, the Hamlet at Moonstone Gardens and the Chuckwagon Buffet. Further south, there was Sebastian’s, Chocolate Soup and Wine Street Inn, among others.

So now The Tribune wants to know what closed San Luis Obispo County eatery you miss the most.

Send your nominations in the form below or directly to reporter Kathe Tanner at ktanner@thetribunenews.com. We’ll take those and compile them into a poll for all our readers to vote for the title of the most-missed San Luis Obispo County restaurant.

As we can, we’re hoping to also feature a few of the more notable restaurants in our nostalgia series coverage, so make sure to send along any great stories or throwback pics with your recommendations.

Thanks for the memories, SLO County!
