Morro Bay Cocktail Cruise

Very old restaurant that needs updating. We did get a lovely table that overlooked Morro Rock which was nice. Prices are very high for this restaurant. I got the small pizza which was good but nothing special. My friend got the risotto that tasted like it was made from broth with no added cream or cheese. It had no flavor. Very disappointing. We did enjoy the caprese salad. It was very small and was 16/17 dollars I believe. Very expensive for the portion. But it was by far the best thing we tasted. We we’re celebrating our 60th birthdays and let the restaurant know that. We were wished happy birthday’s and although we did not want a dessert, we were not offered one as most restaurants do for special occasions. Again another disappointment. We each had a drink and walked out of there with tip around $130 bucks. Definitely not worth what we paid.

We have visited this restaurant multiple times before the pandemic but this was our first time back since. We went with another couple who had also been there before. We had reservations and were shown to a nice table. The ambiance is very nice for sure. We were shocked at the prices on the menu! Everything was a La carte and main entrees were $45 and up. I ordered sea scallops and there were 3 scallops for $50! Nothing else comes with it, no vegetable, rice, potato…nothing. And they were just “ok” nothing special, the sauce was overpowering. 2 people at our table had the halibut and they felt it was over cooked $45 each for a small piece). We had 4 entrees total, 4 drinks 2 glasses wine, 1 margarita that my husband said was lousy and it was $17), 3 deserts, and an order of bread …bread is extra. Our bill for 4 people was $425! We enjoy good food and are willing to pay for it but this wasn’t that great for this price.

We visited Widows on the Water for dinner earlier this week. We had a great evening, the view, the service and our meals were excellent. Our server, Paxton was friendly and attentive, we were not in a hurry so we enjoyed our cocktails and the view, Paxton kept an eye on us for any needs that we had. I had halibut, one of my favorites, and it was the best I’ve had in a long time. Another one of us enjoyed Sand Dabs, very good and nice presentation. We had a very good experience and we won’t wait so long to return.

Ambiance, ocean view some of the best food we have ever eaten and we are foodies! professional staff friendly we celebrated a birthday a window table for the sunset my husband had the just out of the sea oysters , fresh HALIBUT( he said the best he has ever had! i had the Caesar salad and the succulent pork chop with Kale do save room for desert we had fresh sorbet and an amazing butterscotch creme brulee topped with fresh berries this restaurant is right on the main road in Morro Bay CA walking along the street is highly recommended we were there o a Tues nite we heard they have music on the weekend

Great view of the Rock. Stopped in from our walk from our bed and breakfast. Really good service and food. Loved the view for sure. The clam chowder is the best. So not traditional. Perfectly homemade
