Great food and great service! We went here for my birthday dinner and our waitress was very nice and attentive. We always had fresh water and people checking on us. Our dinner was great! The ahi tuna was super tender and tasty. My boyfriend got the chicken and the skin and seasoning was great. We did get charged a corking fee. We thought maybe we’d get it waived for my birthday but oh well. Great overall experience here!

We sat out on the dog-friendly deck (with our dog) and it was very comfortable (sheltered and heated) even in a calm winter evening. Young staff very professional and friendly. Could see and hear the seals. We shared a delicious special salad. I had fish and chips that were fresh and nicely done, my wife enjoyed her shrimp tacos. House made cheesecake was delicious. My margarita was strong but tasted great. Highly recommended.

Husband and I were seated out on the enclosed deck which gave us the beautiful view without the breeze. I ordered the appetizer of scallops, there were 3, perfectly cooked and the flavor was amazing. Husband had the sword fish, naked, and it was delicious and tender. He also ordered the orange vanilla Old fashioned and loved it!! Service was excellent!!

A solid option in a town with abundant seafood options. The cocktails were well crafted; wine selections, mediocre; clam chowder, delicious; entrees good, but not overly memorable; and oysters absolutely delicious. Even on a rainy day, the views are beautiful w sea otters popping up to unknowingly entertain — which let’s be honest, is why you’re here anyway!

My partner and I spent the day in Morro Bay and came by this restaurant on our stroll along the coast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were seated after waiting for 20 minutes- what’s good about this location is you were able to go for a stroll and enjoy the views while waiting.
Pros: the views and service were both great
Cons: the overall food quality does not match the cost
Both my partner and I were quite disappointed in the quality of the food. My partner ordered the shrimp scampi- shrimp was overcooked and chewy, and both the shrimp and pasta were not flavourful. I ordered the halibut with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I enjoyed the halibut and mashed potatoes as they were both decently seasoned, but the seasonal vegetables were bland and undercooked.
Our whole meal, with 1 soft drink came up to nearly $125 (tip and tax included). Quite steep for a meal that was underwhelming and nothing too unique about it.

This is hands down our favorite date night spot. The atmosphere is relaxing yet classy, the service is excellent, and the food is fantastic. The staff are all incredibly kind and helpful, and they are always willing to check items for my gluten allergy . Since most everything is made in-house, there are no hidden ingredients. And the food NEVER disappoints! Their specials are fantastic, so be sure to ask! I keep hoping they’ll bring back that salmon polenta special….

We were seat upon entering. What catches you is the ocean view.
Our server was Gina & Mekenzie which were absolutely amazing. They were always there when we needed them. We ordered the Pan Seared Chicken, Crab cakes and Clam Chowder, King Salmon mixed vegetables with Garlic Mash potatoes and Ahi Poke Bowl with a Cam chowder bowl. For desert Crème Brûlée & Mud Pie.
The food was absolutely scrumptious Normally I have to have hot sauce with my meal. This food needed no extra anything. Oh my goodness so so good. The Clam Chowder was full of Clams it was delicious.
Hats off to the Chef and cooks.
We definitely will make it back when we’re in the area.

I’m not a big seafood person, but the swordfish was amazing. Our waitress Kelsey was so accommodating and knew just the right sauce pairings. 10/10 will eat here again. Great place for a fancy date night

A five star dining experience. The salmon and the crab cakes were wonderful. We were watching sunset while enjoying our dinner. Our server was very friendly and recommended a Chardonnay that perfectly accompanied our fresh fish. We will certainly return should we (hopefully) be in the Morro Bay area.
