Heather L.

Food and drinks are amazing. The guys in the truck serving drinks were nice. The girls inside not so much. Love that they are dog friendly and seeing all the cute dogos.

My wife's dish. Forgot what it was. Really good flavor though!

Solid 4 out of 5 First and foremost, seating feels awkward. Could definitely come up with a better system or at least have employees letting wandering souls know to sit anywhere. Better signage maybe? Maybe I'm blind? I don't know. It was also weird how there's two different window serving two different menu's and one doesn't even sell their own gin even though they have gin cocktails. Weird. But with that said! Cocktails were really good and unique. Food was super tasty! Although I wish there were some simpler kid options. The satay did the job for the kids though. Vibe was fun. Lots of dogs. People didn't mind (too much) that our Husky was noisy.

West Point Cocktail
Andrea Z.

Visited on a Saturday around 2:30pm, space was fairly busy, most tables and seats in the front patio were taken, with a few spots inside the bar and on the side of the bar. Got in line to place my order which was fairly quick maybe 4 guest ahead of me and took about 5-10 minutes to place my order. Drinks were prepped and served after ordering and food orders came with a buzzer to pick up from the kitchen when ready maybe a 10-15minute wait. Drinks: West Point - cocktail had a solid balance of acidity and sweetness with subtle flavors from the gin, lemon forward with subtle pineapple flavor wished this had a touch more pineapple but a personal preference Food: Tlayudita - a small plate with a crispy corn tortilla base that's about 6" in diameter topped with savory creamy refried beans, salsa and tomatillo which added a nice heat along with tangy refreshing bright acidity, chewy strips of queso oaxaca, creamy crema that added richness and cilantro, a great starter Service was good, easy ordering at the register and pick up from the food window, asked for napkins and utensils at the food window, water was self serve. Live band playing was fun and really added to the ambiance, several fire pits are set up around the distillery so definitely a great spot to relax with a drink and snack in half moon bay. Overall enjoyed jettywave a nice spot to enjoy a cocktail and a snack, would definitely come back to try more of the menu nice variety of drinks and solid food menu to choose from. Worth a visit post beach in Half moon bay.

What a great place to find and relax. The food and drinks were outstanding. Quick, friendly service. The staff was courteous, professional, and informative about all their offerings. The customers were all friendly. We will definitely be back.

Outdoor seating

Really cool spot in half moon bay! We hiked the mavericks trail and then headed here afterwards for a drink. Fun, outdoorsy ambiance and there happened to be live music. I'll have to try the food next time it looked delish but we were wanting seafood so next time.

I'm not an alcohol drinker by any means, but Jettywave's gin and cocktails are so darn good and easy to drink that I convert just for them. Their botanical gin is incredibly fragrant and their cocktails strike the perfect balance of flavor profiles. Besides their great cocktails, they also serve a yummy menu of international flavors. They have limited indoor seating as well as a cute outdoor area with bonfires. They get bonus points from me for being dog-friendly. I definitely recommend if you're a fan of gin or craft cocktails.

Food ok Service good Ambiance good First off the drinks were excellent. The bartender was pretty nice and helpful of what to choose. The food was OK lacking some flavor and serving was pretty small for the price. Ambience was nice. If I was in the area again, I would pass by for some drinks.

Antipasto platter. Very pretty!
Valerie M.

One of the trendiest spots in Half Moon Bay, just steps from the beach. We came here for brunch on a beautiful sunny Saturday -- a little chilly, but they had the firepits going, which made it cozy and perfect. The whole place gives off super chill, lazy weekend morning vibes. The food was as creative as it was beautiful -- definitely Instagram-worthy. My salad was outstanding, fresh and flavorful, and the flourless chocolate cake caught my eye... glad I tried it, because I'd honestly come back just for that. The space itself is a win: spacious outdoor seating, dog-friendly, and a lovely indoor setup too. Overall, Jettywave is the kind of spot that makes Half Moon Bay weekends feel special. Perfect for: brunch with friends after a beach walk.

Night time ambience go crazy! Perfect way to wind the day down and an enjoy a nice brew and while embracing the great outdoors!

Moroccan salad
Natalie M.

I didn't get a chance to attend the Yelp event they had for this place but I heard great things and had to check it out. This place is spacious and has lots of seating outdoors as well as indoor spots. They have bourbon and they also have a few other spirits. Their specialty is gin. I tried the One Wet Nob and it was tasty! Amazing and fragrant with the herbal deliciousness. The foods were also sooo amazing! Loved the refreshing take on the Moroccan salas and the South African Bobotie was rich and flavorful. This came with coconut rice. I want to have this again. It was so yummy. The sliced almonds and crunchy topping hit the spot and added complexity to this dish. It's dog friendly. Staff were nice as well. They don't have many restrooms so that can be a bit of an issue with a wait. Otherwise, cool spot!

Mark N.

Enjoyable experience. Plenty of seating outdoors with fire heat lamps and a covered indoor for tastings and merch. We tried a few dishes, including butternut squash soup and the Japanese pumpkin curry, which had good flavor. I wish portion sizes were a bit larger, but I guess we were here for the distillery with food as the added bonus. The spirits themselves were great, so I recommend the cocktails and flights (I got the Marine Layer). Service is mainly order at the bar and pick up yourself to bring to your table, but overall nice.

Got one to bring home
Brian-Matthew C.

Great joint, with a killer vibe and a cool selection of in house spirits. Awesome service Julia rocks.

Jessica N.

Came here for a private event and really enjoyed ourselves. The drinks and the food were really great. The bartenders are kind of slow though and weren't too friendly. The outdoor vibe is great - lots of seating, with heaters and fire pits. Would definitely come back again if I'm in HMB.

We came here, on 9/24/2026, for lunch while visiting Pacifica. It is right by Rockaway Beach…read more Nick's is known for its famous Crab sandwich. We made reservations ahead of time because I read other reviews about how busy this place can get. And good thing we did, because it was packed in there. We were warmly greeted when we checked in at the front and taken to our table. They had a reserved sign on our table right by the window facing the ocean. We really appreciated them saving us such a wonderful table with a view. Our waitress Sara, came by and brought us menus and introduced herself. She told us the specials and gave us some time to make a decision. I loved her. Sara was awesome, hilarious and gave some good advice on some menu items, which I appreciated. I decided to get the famous crab sandwich. I got the half portion with the side salad and a cup of clam chowder. My husband ordered one of the specials, which was the chicken piccata as well as a cup of clam chowder. I also ordered an iced tea. Our clam chowders arrived first. It was so good. We both enjoyed them. It had a lot of clams in it. It was delicious and comforting. Our entrees came out shortly after our chowders. Thank goodness I ordered the half portion of the crab sandwich because it was huge. It was full of crab and it was delicious. The sourdough bread had been grilled with butter and the crab had a very light amount of mayo, as it should, so you can taste the fresh crab. I noticed a lot of people leaving negative reviews that the crab had no flavor or it was bland. This is exactly how you're supposed to enjoy a fresh crab sandwich. The more stuff added to the sandwich takes away the flavor of what you want to experience, which is the crab. The crab was definitely the star here. This is the best crab sandwich I've ever had. They were very generous with the portion of crab, I received, for a half sandwich. The sandwich was on the pricey side but that's expected, because crab isn't cheap. It was worth the price, to me. My husband's chicken piccata looked really good and came with a side of asparagus and pasta. He loved it. We both ate all of our food and were pleased and stuffed. The inside of this restaurant is very old fashioned and retro. You can tell that it has been here for a long time. It is decorated with a nautical theme. I thought it made the experience even better. I highly recommend coming here, if you're in the area. The food was amazing and customer service was excellent.

Classic old school sit-down restaurant with great friendly service by waiters in bow ties, busboys…read morewho refill your waters, delicious food and ambiance ambiance ambiance. Coming to Nicks is relaxing and fun. It does feel a little bit like coming back in time with the wood paneling and big booths and that is part of the charm. Nicks is a Pacifica and Bay Area gem- they do not make restaurants like this anymore! Highly recommend the crab sandwich- get the full size one and it's enough to talk home half and have for an amazing lunch the next day. We also love the caesar salad- made with real anchovies and AMAZING caesar dressing- I have been trying to recreate the Nick's dressing at home without success. Shout out to Jim the waiter who is completely charming and kind and so nice to all his customers. We saw him helping an elderly gentleman with his walker all the way out the front door and then singing happy birthday to another diner. He is a class-act! Also the bartenders make an excellent lemon drop martini- it has freshly squeezed lemons, is always ice cold and the perfect swirl of rind accenting the glass. They really nail the perfect balance of crisp bright tartness with the sweet sugar on the rim. Be sure to leave extra time to come early and walk along the beach or linger after dinner and watch the waves and the sunset. You can see whales from the parking lot! This is a family place where you will see all generations dining. Yes it does sort of have "Boomer vibes" in a nostalgic way but that is part of the old fashioned charm of the place. The food and service are top notch and it's a top notch enjoyable evening! Friday and Saturday nights they also have live bands with couples dancing the music is always good even if you are just sitting in the dining room it is fun to hear and the dancing looks so fun! Great crab sandwich, cold cocktails, warm service, ocean views, music, and dancing... love Nick's!

Ok. I gave my credit card information over this site to make a reservation. I am one of those who…read morehates to give credit cards to strangers included Yelp. But I did it. Had dinner tonight at 7:00 as reserved, got the calamari appetizer FIRESIDE FRITTO MISTO with shrimp, olives, etc. very good. It was paired with two sauces, one the spicy aioli. and the regular cocktail sauce . Love the spicy one. For entrees I ordered the rib eye royale and I like it well done. Very juicy and tender a 9 out of 10 because it was not well done. (I never return food to kitchen) it was good and very large portion with some vegetables and potatoes. My wife ordered the shrimp Alfredo with pasta, very good and good size portion. 10/10 she had a lemon drop cocktail and I had two beers. Now. The service was outstanding our waiter Carlos was class act. Professional, informative, cordial, and attentive to our needs 12/10 very good experience, we really recommend this place, atmosphere is casual and the setting is amazing. Very clean and good size table for two, clean floors and bathrooms, lighting is adequately toned and still have a romantic feel, we got satisfied that we didn't had room for a dessert or coffee, that is how good it was.

My wife and I came to Falcon's Lair a few months ago for a date night, and I've been wanting to…read moreleave a review because this place really stuck with us. The atmosphere is probably my favorite part. It's dark, moody, a little mysterious, and honestly kind of haunting in the best way. I can't even tell you exactly what era or theme they're going for, but somehow it works. It feels like you stepped into a completely different place once you walk inside. It's an awesome spot for drinks, especially if you're looking for somewhere that feels different from the usual bar or restaurant. The whole setting made it feel like a real date-night spot instead of just somewhere to grab a drink. And the food was delicious too. We genuinely enjoyed everything about the night and already know we'll be coming back. I've heard some rumors that the place may eventually be sold or change ownership, and I really hope whoever takes it over someday keeps the character and atmosphere that makes Falcon's Lair so unique. Either way, as long as it continues to be a great place, we'll keep supporting it. Such a cool, memorable spot for a date night. Dark, cozy, unique, great drinks, delicious food, and an atmosphere you really don't find everywhere. Definitely coming back.
