To start, my partner and I split a Caesar salad that had a delicious, lemony Caesar dressing. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan for my entree, and it was perfect. Seriously one of the best dinners I've ever had. I'm not usually a tomato lover, and I often find myself scraping excess sauce off of my Italian dishes. Here, I found myself scraping my plate trying to get more sauce on my chicken. It was incredible! My partner had the lasagna and let me take a few bites. It was also great!! Very flavorful. Victoria is the best! She is seating guests, waiting tables, and cooking the food. And doing it all flawlessly! Can't recommend this spot enough.

I work in the food service industry and the quantity of food we received was nowhere near the cost of any of the items, even with the price spike in the cost of tomatoes. The garlic bread was a ciabatta roll, sliced in half and then cut into thirds. There was no binder of any form in the meatballs so unfortunately, they fell apart as soon as you touched them with an eating utensil. Additionally, the portions were extremely small, the marinara sauce was lacking flavor, but the mushroom sauce was actually pretty good! Overall, I think the owner is biting off a little more than they can chew doing both the cooking and the food service. I know I'll probably get a negative response from the owner in regard to this review but what can you do! This is my honest feedback!

When this happens, I know I found a great restaurant. We had a delightful lunch and desserts. The patio was just right for a sunny day in January. Our server was very friendly and the chef/owner Giovanni even came out to greet us. We found out about his homemade limoncello which was the perfect ingredient for one of the desserts. I seriously love this place!!

I have done take out and dined in at the Harmony Cafe in the past. The take out wasn't memorable…read morebut what was memorable was ordering Prosecco to enjoy while we waited for our food. The owner said he had a special Prosecco and that he had "a guy" who gets it for him special. He let us keep the bottle since it was our anniversary weekend. When we got back home, I googled the label on the bottle and to my surprise, it turned out his "guy" was Trader Joe. That was good for a few laughs. The dining in meals were at the restaurant's special events with a fixed menu and price. We met friends there for those meals. Both meals were nothing to write home or a review about. Our friends felt the same way. I thought eventually, we would dine there when we are in town enjoying our second home. After today, I will reconsider. My wife and I were near the cafe and she wanted to go into a particular shop. There was no parking spot available so I dropped her off and parked next to the cafe. I stayed in the car to wait for her. I noticed a crude handmade sign on an orange cone that read "parking for Harmony Cafe". There was one car ahead of me but I waited with the engine running. After about 5 minutes, a door opens from the side of the restaurant and a woman comes out. I didn't think anything of it. A few seconds later she comes out again and goes behind my car and takes a photo of my license plate. I thought that was hilarious. First of all, it's a public parking space that apparently the Harmony Cafe has commandeered with a makeshift sign. I have never seen another business in town do such a thing. Cambria is such a peaceful and relaxed place, very laid back but just don't park in the Harmony parking spots if you aren't a diner. I wonder what she does with the photos of those license plates.

We ordered the wings with mango habanero and garlic Parmesan alongside the garlic roasted chicken. The wings were hot and with generous sauce. The toppings on the pizza were very generous and it was very well cooked. The only thing I'd change would be make it thin crust, but it's personal preference. Definitely a place to try when you're around.

Great French bistro with very good food with great ambiance. Everything is good on the menu and they have a very big selection of wines. Don't expect big portions, it's a French bistro! The service is good but as much as I like sitting at the bar, I wouldn't come here again by myself. The best way to enjoy this place is to sit at the table and share dishes and try different wines

This pizza is one of my favorite pizza places. I have actually never even been in the pizza place…read morebut on my annual trip to Cambria, we always order it to the hotel. It's so good that we order it every year to eat on our patio and enjoy the sunset. The only reason for the four stars this time is because I ordered pizza and zucchini sticks. And unfortunately, they forgot the zucchini sticks. So while I was calling to get reimbursed on that, everyone was eating the pizza and mine unfortunately was cold by the time I got to eat it. I know mistakes happen so it wasn't that big of a deal. I will definitely be ordering it again next year! What more could you ask more than beautiful view, sunsets, wine, and a great pizza!?

Hubby and I drop by at least once during our Cambria visit for either a pizza pie or their charbroiled burgers and amazing fries (try them with ranch!). We've eaten both inside and out on their patio as well as taken pizza back to our accommodations. Pizza is a little pricier than chain pizza joints but you're definitely getting fresh ingredients and flavor. Their burgers are one of the more affordable burgers on Main Street and a large pizza will feed a family. The people that work there are always nice and food comes out in a timely manner.

We had about a 5 minute wait to be seated, we asked for first availability and we were seated indoors. Parking is extremely challenging, we had to park on the street and a bit away. The rating is based on two things food and service. There were 5 in our party so rather than put two tables together (empty tables were available) and seat us comfortably, they crammed us in a table that sat 4 and added an extra chair at the head of the table. We literally had no extra space for our food. Appetizer: oysters on a half shell. 6 oysters served with a side of cocktail sauce with horseradish and one small lemon wedge. Oysters tasted fresh Mains: clam chowder in a bread bowl. The clam chowder here is okay. Menu description: Homemade New England-style clam chowder served piping hot in our crusty sourdough round (contains bacon). Sourdough bowl was far from "crusty", bread was lightly toasted (did not have any brown toasted color at all. Bacon was nonexistent as were traditional potato chunks. The chowder was pretty grainy. I would not order this again. Very disappointing. Fish and Chips: menu description: Best catch white fish lightly breaded served with lemon, tartar sauce, and shoestring French fries. When asked what fish was used, waiter did not know and guessed cod. The fish were about 5 pieces of small fish. The fish was not greasy and tasted freshly fried. The tartar sauce was pretty good. The fries were, not my favorite, kinda hard and even worse once they cooled down. Other than the French fry quality, I would order this dish again and try to substitute the fries for a coleslaw. Fish Tacos: Two tacos served with corn tortillas stuffed with lightly breaded white fish served with cheese, jalapeño cream slaw, and salsa fresca. I did not try the tacos but my friend said they were pretty tasty. Dessert: Molten Chocolate Cake. A chocolate cake filled with dark chocolate truffle served warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. This dessert was served warm and it was delicious. Service 10/10. Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Overall, Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill has pretty amazing ocean views and ambience is pretty laid back.

We enjoyed cocktails in the parking lot and met some nice people visiting from Evergreen, CO. We love the atmosphere when you first arrive, with all of the chefs prepped in anticipation of the bustle of the first patrons arriving. We split the Rockefeller for a starter. It went great with the Markham Sauv Blanc!! We had the shrimp scampi over pasta--so ridiculously good, it should be illegal. We also had the sea bass which was tasty. The potatoes on the side are perfectly done every time. I would say a 4pm arrival is probably the right time to get in line. Worth the wait!!

Not worth the hype…read more We went to Sea Chest Oyster Bar last night. Honestly, it was extremely disappointing. The food was lackluster and bland. The Clam Chowder tasted like flour and needed salt. The Soy Ginger Mahi Mahi was presented with the Soy Ginger sauce on the side, rather than being cooked in. It was so bland you had to search for the flavor of the sauce. I'm not sure how a dish with soy needed more salt, but it certainly did. Rather than it being a reduction or the fish actually cooked in it, it was just flavorless. And don't get me started on my Halibut. All of the fish is cooked in butter, which should give it some flavor, but it did not. We are usually plate-cleaners, but we both ate only about half of our meal. Lackluster, boring, bland. I would say it was a one-note flavor, but you'd have to have some flavor for that to be true. The only positive I have about the fish is that it was fresh, so I guess there's something. The service was fine. I can imagine what it's like to have an entire restaurant sat at the same time, so there should be some forgiveness there. But for $200 for two people for one appetizer, two entrees, and three glasses of wine, I would expect to be able to get through the meal.

They are known for their fresh out of the oven flower pot bread. It's a little crispy on top and as you work your way to the bottom, it gooey, and almost slightly undercooked deliciousness.

It's so tasty that's it's had for me to try something else. This restaurant is very small and cozy. It's like an old school family restaurant with a cute fire place. I always try to arrive right when they open so I can get a table right in front of the fireplace. It's so cozy! And then I have to get my glasses of wine. The ambience is just very quaint and cozy. I always recommend this restaurant to my friends when they are going to Cambria. Everyone that I have recommended it to has gone always had good things to say about it.
