Prepare for long wait unless you have reservation. Even with reservation there will be wait.
The location is very nice and staff is generally friendly. We got drinks, tacos, garlic bread and few things. The taco was fresh and yummy that wanted another one.
Found food good and ambiance. The view from patio is just beautiful. Overall great place, but limited veggie or vegan options.

Crab season made this lunch date with my husband extra special.
The drive was beautiful, the setting felt like a peaceful ocean cottage, and the crab was exceptionally fresh and perfectly prepared.
Garlic sauce and cioppino were both excellent, and the service was warm and attentive.
We’ll definitely be back—especially during crab season

We saw the sign out on the highway and were thrilled to find a hidden distillery! Ooops, it’s not actually a distillery! It was time for lunch and a break from the road so it was well worth the stop even without the craft spirits!! The view is spectacular and the history is a fun addition to our travels. It was raining so no outside seating, we enjoyed everything from the dry warmth inside. The staff was very subdued, not really friendly, just going through the motions and providing basic service. The chowder tasted like a cream of something soup with clams in it so I wasn’t impressed! However, the grilled fish tacos were wonderful with plenty of fish and a super tasty and spicy sauce that was amazing! The soft corn tortillas mad them perfect! Hubby’s burger was just okay, some seasoning definitely would have helped and the bacon needed to be cooked a bit longer. All in all, a nice experience and would return those those views any time!

I’ve been here several times in the past and I have to say that my experience was better then. My rating is for my recent visit which I’m hoping is not the new normal.
The outdoor patio area has lost its charm and I’m not sure exactly why, but here are a few of my observations. There was one waiter for the entire outside patio area. Although he was efficient there were just too many table to serve in order to deliver good service to everyone. We waited quite a while before we got our drinks. When it was time to order, I asked what he recommended. Instead of reviewing specials and/or popular dishes, he told me that everything is good and he can’t give me a recommendation. This led to me asking questions about an array of dishes and all of a sudden ( I think out of frustration) he recommended a dish for me. He wasn’t rude at all, just over tasked. When the food arrived, my dish was lukewarm. It definitely waited somewhere and got too cold before making it to the table.
I would return as I think it must have been an off night. I definitely would not sit outside though if the staffing stays the same for the patio area.

Just a parking lot away from the world famous Moss Beach Distillery my old pal Squirtle Hardback, but we just call him Turtle has lived and prospered for about 30 years. Every time I’m in the area I swing by for a visit, and we walk over to the Distillery for a great lunch. I typically have seafood for obvious reasons but today the Turtle suggested I get their signature burger on toasted sourdough with grilled onion, monterey jack cheese and of course bacon.
What a surprise! The burger was deliciously spectacular in every way! Well worth a two hour drive! ☆☆☆☆☆

First time here and people are very nice, great service! Our server was very sweet! My tacos were delicious and BF had the pasta and he said it was very good! The best salad was ok, There was not a lot of flavor for the beets. Overall very nice experience.

Dog friendly! Make sure you get a reservation if you want to sit at the patio. I got here at 12 pm (I had a reservation) when they opened and the tables out here filled up quick. It was nice out today with some breeze so I wasn’t too hot or cold. They do offer umbrellas if you don’t like the sun. I got the cioppino and it was loaded. It was absolutely delicious. My server was very attentive and their service was excellent. I’ll come here again and try to get a sunset slot.

We really had a great time here tonight. We sat on a bench seat on the patio and got to watch the sunset over the ocean. It was very comfortable and relaxing and fun. The waiter was a little stressed because he was the only one available but he did a great job and we didn’t feel like we had to wait extra for our food at all. We had the crabcakes which were OK not fantastic. I had the seared yellowfin tuna and it was really great. Hubby had the halibut special and it was really really good. He also had the Elysian lager and he really liked it. They were out of Sauvignon Blanc so I had the Chardonnay which was just OK. Kind of weird to be out of Sauvignon Blanc. The atmosphere on the patio was really fun and festive. We really enjoyed our evening here!

I came to Moss Beach Distillery today and really enjoyed the experience. The ocean views and relaxed outdoor patio made it a great place to sit back and take in the coast. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual but welcoming.
The food was good overall. The clam steamers were fresh and flavorful, paired nicely with the pesto garlic bread. The burger and fries hit the spot—juicy, well-seasoned, and generous in size. The kids’ nuggets and fries were simple but perfect for little ones.
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that’s expected for the location and view. Between the scenery, service, and quality of the meal, it was a very enjoyable visit. I’d definitely come back, especially for a relaxed lunch or sunset dinner.
