2nd time eating here and the first time trying their Fish n Chips and let me tell you, hands down the absolute best I ever had in my entire life. As picky as I am, I can’t believe that I have finally found the best! I also tried the Clam Chowder. It was tasty, but the clams were very rubbery. My daughter tried the Seafood Croissant and she rated it a 6, she said it was a little soggy. Service was really good though. All and all, I will be going back for the fish n chips! Guess what? I went back and it still did not disappoint

We were in town for the kite festival and this looked like a nice place to eat. The service staff was very friendly and the food was excellent. I had the fish and chips with clam chowder and garlic bread and the clam chowder was amazing (so was everything else but the chowder stood out).

The restaurant is directly on the promenade. You have a nice view on Morro Rock. Service is five stars plus. They were so nice plus authentic! Food was great.

Airy seafood place with Polynesian vibes. Not sure whether this was necessary with the great service and food. Walking distance from our hotel down the street. Went with teenagers who tucked into their pasta and other dishes. Servers were super attentive and fun. Thank you!

This place is the perfect spot to grab either a quick bite to eat at the walk up stand or to go inside and enjoy the panoramic views of Morro Bay Rock and maybe even spy some otters and sea lions enjoying the sun and ocean water. Food is decent, a little over priced for the quality and portions but compared to other places in the area, definitely some of the best clam chowder I’ve ever had and the fish and chips aren’t bad either. We did take our toddler and even though she got a little antsy there’s a balcony right outside to run around a little and get the ants out of her pants before lunch was served. She had a blast chasing the pigeons around. Overall, it wasn’t the 1st time we’ve been and it won’t be the last!

Absolutely delicious steak and lobster. There was a party of 7 of us eating and everyone really loved their dishes- lobster ravioli, stuffed salmon, fettuccine with prawns. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The wait for our food was a little long…that was the only negative to a wonderful dining experience.

Nice setting. I had the Cioppino. It came out piping hot, which is great, but the broth was your standard tomato sauce. I’m always looking for a Cioppino that wows me with their broth – hard to find, but when you do, it’s to die for…

Arrived at 4pm and had great service and drinks in the bar. Friendly people and great view. Went into dining area, had excellent fish and chips. Great service again. Cool Hawaiian vibes. Love this place!

Really great food, drinks, service, and view! The hostess was kinda rude and unprofessional (drinking soda while we were standing in front of her and just stared at us refusing to speak first), but our server was amazing (I think her name was Malia)! Super nice and helpful. I had fish and chips which were a little bland, but I’m hard to please since I’m used to WI fish fries. This may have been the best I’ve had outside of WI, so still high praise! The drinks were very yummy. My bf got steak and said it was great. We would eat here again next time we are in the area.
