    Seafood Chowder
    Ploy N.

    The inside is super cozy and clean. Love how their location is right in the middle of the port. Really added to the ambience. Staffs were quick and efficient as well. We split their Seafood Chowder and it's ok. Enjoyed the abundant of seafood in it but the soup could have been more flavorful and hotter. Side garlic bread was great tho!

    I had the Clam Chowder, side salad, and Cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. All were great. Plenty of space. Service was great. Neat location at the port.

    Sweet potato fries and the blueberry goat cheese burger!

    Looking for a dinner spot, this place was near the marina! Beautiful view in the town of Garabaldi :) Menu was quite the variety. From appetizers and drinks, to sandwiches and entrees, and even seafood. Their seafood chowder is unique. It was creamy and had little shrimps, scallops, clams and corn. I got the blueberry goat cheese burger. It was pretty different since I love blueberries and goat cheese! The burger was topped high -- it was hard to eat and was messy. I had to cut in half. However, it was a good burger. There was an avocado spread, bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese. Even my bf's turkey sandwich was topped high and he loved it! Presentation is nice here -- the sweet potato waffle fries were so good. Crispy and not greasy, there was an additional charge for it which the waitress made me aware of -- she was so kind and accommodating!

    We stopped by Garibaldi Portside Bistro for an early dinner on a Saturday night. They were decently busy with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. We were lucky and got to sit by the beautiful indoor fireplace! I had the Alfredo. The flavor was good, but the noodles were very overcooked. I loved the cheesy garlic bread! The side salad was a great bonus to the meal. My husband had the half rack of ribs. They were a bit fatty for our taste. He ordered the "waffle cut" fries and the waitress brought out waffle cut sweet potato fries. The menu did not state that their waffle fries were sweet potato. The menu made it seem like they had regular waffle and sweet potato separate items and priced differently. We mentioned that to the waitress and she hesitated and made the switch. She took the plate back and immediately came back with fries and they were obviously not fresh and barely warm (the same quality as the sweet potato). Despite not ordering the sweet potato option we were charged an extra $4 for the fries we did not eat. We will be back to give them another chance as the atmosphere was great!

    We tried Garibaldi while in town for a trip! It was a cute bistro with plenty of seating and WONDERFUL staff! Our waitress was so nice and helpful. We were late for our reservation but they still accommodated us! The food prices were a bit high for the type of food quality/quantity. And the options were limited when we went (no veggie patty for burgers, limited desserts, etc). Overall, a nice place for dinner and great views of the coast!

    The service wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either! Really enjoyed the popcorn shrimp very nice and fresh. The cake it so much

    Maybe it's because I was absolutely ravenous but Garibaldi Portside Bistro served me the best Turkey Club Sandwich I've had in a long time. Our group was hungry after a long morning of adventuring and GPB was the perfect pit stop. The location is unmatched, the service is very friendly, and the food was delicious. We sat outside on their patio and enjoyed the views and sounds of the nearby port. Garibaldi Portside Bistro instantly became a new fave of mine! You should definitely stop by when you're in town.

    Fantastic food. Huge portions. Seven of us in our party & most of us split our meals. Glad we did because portions were so large & tasty!

    Garlic cheese curds

    It was 8 on a Friday night and we were hoping for Prime Rib, so we asked our server and she checked and said yes. So we ordered and she let us know the kitchen was backed up so it would be a while, so we ordered appetizers. Then she came back to apologize as they had run out of prime rib. You know how that is, when you are prepared for one thing and then nothing else sounds good. I ordered the French Dip and salad, but my husband just opted for the clam chowder, which was served with garlic toast. The garlic cheese curds were good, but that's a huge serving! I loved the bread, meat and cheese of the French Dip, but I didn't realize there was a light horseradish sauce on it, which Im not a fan of. We got a basque cheesecake to go. The manager came out to apologize and our server couldn't have been nicer. We will try again, but get there early! Great location for appreciating the marina.

    Brisket Tots
    Patty B.

    Nice place off the beaten path. We were actually looking for something that offered a variety of seafood. We thought since this is by the crab and fishing boats, it has to offer seafood options. No they don't, however our visit was pleasant. Our waitress was so personable and polite. We ordered a Pelican Stout, Tots with Brisket, and a bowl of Chowder all were delicious. Their garlic bread was very good and came with my Chowder. We then decided to try one of their desserts, Blueberry Cheesecake. Also delicious. If you're looking for a simple American Food stop by.

PET FRIENDLY with nice outdoor area seating with umbrellas!Food and…read moreservice was so good that we returned twice in the same day instead of trying a different restaurant. Doesn't look like much from the outside but very roomie, clean and nice inside. AMAZING service! Wish I had gotten the name of the young man behind the register yesterday that attended us. He was so nice, patient, and helpful! We sat outside in the front patio with our 2 pups enjoying the beautiful weather and got the food brought out to us. We split an oyster melt sandwich, albacore tuna sandwich, and their house made tomato/orange soup. You could tell the oyster and tuna both were very fresh and not canned or frozen nonsense. They said the tuna is sourced locally from Garibaldi area about 1/2 hour south of there. The strawberry lemonade had fresh strawberry in it and was delicious and not overly sweet. We then went for a very long walk on the beach to work it all off and came back few hours later to relax at the outside patio tables again and tried the dirty fries and salmon pita (BOTH DELICIOUS). and a must try too. The food here is different, unique, and not made how you would typically expect or get anywhere else. I thought the tuna sandwich would be boring but actually left me wanting more. We were sad upon return that we didn't get to try their CLAMS because they had run out since it's one of their most popular items, but we will DEFINITELY be returning to this place, and hope to be able to try their dinner menu sometime. We both highly recomend it!

Your lot was full, so we briefly parked on the street and were asked to move. That's fine, but it added time. When we got in, we were told it was a 45-minute wait and that we could get pastries to go. We started eating inside near the counter, but the owner asked us to leave the dining area. We ended up standing in the parking lot to eat, and my husband had to give himself an insulin shot out there, which was honestly embarrassing. In your reply, you mentioned patio seating and coffee, but none of that was offered to us. I understand that others may have better visits, but this was our experience and I think it is fair to share it. We were really disappointed with our experience at Wanda's. Parking was difficult, and after parking once we were told to move. Inside a 45-minute wait, so we opted for grab and go. Unfortunately, all 3 pastries tasted stale. Then, when we tried to find a place to eat them, we were told we couldn't stay and ended up eating standing in parking lot. Between the parking hassle, long wait, stale food, and feeling unwelcome, it just wasn't the experience we'd hoped.
