This is our go to place for eating outdoors on beautiful beach days. The ocean view is fabulous and the plexiglas keeps the ocean breeze at bay. The umbrellas are strategically placed for shade and sun to accommodate everyone. We always get the mushroom appetizer – the best on the Central Coast! The clam chowder is great and I never have to ask for ice tea refills with more ice. We love the tacos, chicken or fish, and the fish and chips. This time, followed by an ice cream sundae. We love the staff and service! Don’t hesitate to visit this special place!

Okay. Great location. Parking sucks. Lol. Had to wait about 20 min. Bartender was awesome while we waited. Drinks were great, served with a smile. Sat down. Waited several minutes. Then all of Sudden bread was put on the table, like where you come from? Not attitude, but no personality. Service a little slow. Food was good! 2 of us had seafood and crab legs! Great flavor, tasted fresh. The burger we had had a full salad on top of it, my son was like what the crap!. But meat was good. Over all good. 4 of us spent a C note and a half!

Went here on Valentine’s day with the family. Food and service were great! Parking is very limited. Recommend going about 30 minutes before opening. Will stop by again next time I’m in the area.

Great little spot in small resort area. High quality food in unpretentious seaside restaurant with good ocean views. Large outdoor patio, as well as indoor seating. Varied menu, that also includes plenty of seafood. Some onsite parking with plenty of additional on the street. Service is attentive, while not being overbearing. Great choice when visiting Hearst Castle or exploring the central coast. Has been a small wait each time we have visited.

Had a delicious lunch on our drive down Hwy 1 from Carmel! We wanted a view of the water and a patio and this fit the bill. The Cajun shrimp and scallop tacos were excellent, loved the slightly crispy tortillas and the jalapeño sauce.

My cousin and I are from Europe and were looking forward to the food because we were hungry. They say hunger is the best cook. Unfortunately, by European standards, the food was on par with a mediocre snack bar, which would cost a maximum of $40. We were disappointed and went home $100 lighter. We absolutely love the landscape here. However, the food culture cannot compete with Europe. We find most American people to be very friendly. We are happy to be here, but we miss the food from home.

We had a DELICIOUS meal at Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill! This is a popular spot as there were people lined up at the door before they opened for dinner! Lots of indoor seating, but it was a nice day so we sat on the patio that had plenty of coverage and views of the ocean. We started with the cajun shrimp and bay scallops on grilled french bread. For our main dishes, I tried the fish tacos and my husband had the salmon. Every bite was mouthwatering and we highly recommend this spot!

Lovely place to take in the incredible ocean views (in the warmth of heat lamps) and eat good food with lovely service. We came by 4:45 for a 5p opening and there was already a long line to get in. We were seated about 15 min after they opened at 5.
We requested to sit outside and got a great table under a heat lamp so it was very cozy. My son loved the kids menu and the included scoop of ice cream for dessert!
The service was excellent, and we really enjoyed the seafood options. The seafood cakes from the appetizer menu were a highlight. Lovely experience overall, incredible service.

I will start with the negatives which are not a lot; The wait time can be long because everyone is trying to get seated. We waited like 50 minutes or more and the bar is small. We were on vacation and we didn’t have the kids with us. But we had our little bit of wine while we waited, And once we were seated everything was very good. The food was worth it and delicious. I had a shrimp pasta which was amazing. We spent a long time eating and also admiring the ocean views. We also saw a man walking around who looked like the restaurant manager, We absolutely loved that. We have no complaints of the food or drinks. The girl at the bar very friendly and they were working so hard and serving a lot of drinks there. So if you can have the patience to wait I would recommend this place.
