View of Morro Tock from the bar counter faced directly
Monica S.

I love martinis. I particularly love ice rink martinis, and Jack, the bartender really made my martini skate! The view of Morro Rock was amazing and I loved that the bar counter faced directly across the bay. We did not get food, so I can't really speak to that part of the experience, but the drinks and service were great and such a great deal! $6 well drinks during happy hour is a price that's hard to beat. Since it was a Monday and still fairly early, It wasn't very busy, so we had plenty of servers to get anything we needed. I would actually give a 4.5 only because the bar area might need some tender loving care, but the drinks and service more than made up for it. Rose's was a great start to our evening.

Clam chowder in bread bowl
Roozbeh Z.

We arrived on a Thursday night, and they offered a table overlooking the ocean. The staff was very very nice, and provided some painting crayon and toys for my son. The food was delicious. Both my clam chowder and my wife's shrimp scampi were good, and we were happy with our food The place was fairly busy, and still the service was good. The reason I am giving them four stars, is everything was good, not perfect. Anyways, recommend this place without a question.

Service was great, view was impeccable and food hit the spot. We got the seafood cob, oysters and clam chowder.

Ahi fish tacos with garlic fries.
David S.

Roses is a place our family likes to come to every time we are in Morro Bay. Beautiful view of Morro Rock and the bay/ocean. I ordered the Ahi fish tacos with garlic fries. The fish was cooked perfectly, not dry at all. I loved the cabbage and other vegetables to brighten the flavors. The sauce was delicious and the garlic fries were not over powering. Our wait staff was very attentive with lots of recommendations. We appreciate the service, food, and atmosphere.!

Great service great food it has nice view and friendly staff they were welcoming from the moment that I stepped in

Fish & Chips
Brion S.

Great bayside restaurant, very clean and interesting sea related decor. Our server was right on our drinks and food order. My wife ordered fish and chips which were light and fresh. I had a bacon cheeseburger which was fresh and tasty. Hot French fries topped everything off. Great drinks too....

We came for a drink and a little snack just to kill some time. It was open seating when we arrived which was nice. As we had our little fur ball was with us so the patio was perfect. They did have heat lamps overhead but I don't think our section was turned on. I did mentioned it to one of the gentleman to see if they could turn it on but he never came back. Sophia was our waitress. Very sweet and friendly. As we were only here for drinks and a little snack, it was a quick browse through the menu. She did mention that it was happy hour and they had some items that were great. Both the Bloody Mary and margaritas were quite nice. It wasn't the happy hour menu but it was still nice. Onion rings were great, perfectly battered and cooked well. Nice crunch to it. Also that was from the regular menu. We did get an order of fries and calamari from the happy hour menu. Fries, it's was good. Calamari was nice, lightly battered and served with a sweet chili sauce and something else. Both sauces were good. Service was nice as Sophia was very friendly. All The other waitress was sweet as well out at the patio section. It's also a perfect spot for people with their dogs. Everything was nice, drinks with a view, nice bite. And to finished the meal off, a freakin seagull little left us a a surprise. Good thing it hit the chair armrests instead. Plus, on Tuesday they do all you can eat crab legs. May need to give that a try sometimes.

Ate late lunch/early dinner here. Food was really good. My coconut shrimp was so delicious. Best I ever had. My mom said the same about her fish and chips. We also got drinks and the bartender was on point with them. I recommend giving this place a try. And the view is also great.

Raw chicken from the Cali Chicken Sandwich
Cade V.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of my worst restaurant experiences. We came on Father's Day, and despite the restaurant not being busy, service was extremely slow. They lost my dad's order, and while the rest of us ate, he was given chowder and had to wait another 15 minutes for his meal. The biggest issue was the chicken. The next day, while reheating my leftovers, I discovered my piece of chicken was raw. We tried calling the restaurant but got no response. We will never be eating here again.

Fish and Chips
Michael S.

The location is amazing, unfortunately the food wasn't. The oyster was decent, but I was disappointed with the Fish and Chips; the food was almost room temperature when they brought it out (and when you order fish and chips, you expect it to be piping hot), so that was a bit of a letdown. The service was really good though.

Fish and chips

We got here about 8 pm and it was kinda empty on the side we sat on. There was large party on the other side of the wall that was pretty loud. The floor had some napkins and straw papers under one of the tables not being used. We were seated ourselves as the sign stated and were quickly greeted with menus and our drink order taken. Then our server brought our drinks and took our order. I ordered the halibut with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Mark got fish and chips with a bowl of clam chowder. My food was delicious. Mark was disappointed. He the clam chowder was tasteless and had more fillers the clams. He say "his fish wasn't greasy". But everything else was so-so. Would I eat here again yeah. Would I go out of my way. Probably not. But other folks must love them because this place is jumping now.

Cali Chicken
Tiffany L.

*Visited on Weds 12/25/2024 with a group of 7 at noon Visited Rose's Bar and Grill as I had a few surprise guests visiting from out of town Christmas morning. I loved the fact that this restaurant was right on the waterfront and had a great view of the Rock and the bay- despite being seated in the corner, we were still able to catch a few nice views :) Our waiter was kind and quick to help us despite it being slightly busy - it was Christmas Day! Okay the food: * Cali Chicken Sandwich - not bad at all, a little on the pricier side but not bad at all. I wish the sweet potato fries were slightly crispier but that's probably on me since I didn't ask them to make them extra crispy. * Hot Crab Sandwich- pretty tasty! again, on the pricier side but considering that we're on the Embarcadero, it's no surprise.

There was also parking right in front, with no line, which was convenient. I wanted something fried, but when I saw that they use canola oil, I decided to go with the salmon tacos instead. Salmon isn't exactly a local fish, but it's usually a safe bet, especially when it's fresh frozen. I got the salmon tacos, which came as two tacos on two tortillas. The salmon was topped with a little cabbage and tomato, melted cheese, and what seemed to be some onion and cilantro. They also included a small serving of salsa. Overall, they were decent, but not the best salmon tacos I've had. One thing that was a little annoying was that some of the salmon had the dark "bloodline" still attached. I usually scrape that off because I find that part of the fish more bitter and strongly flavored. That's especially awkward with tacos because you're trying to remove it from pieces of fish that are already in the taco. I've had salmon tacos elsewhere where that part had been trimmed off, so there was nothing to deal with. No bones, though. The tacos were a little pricey at just over $20 with tax, but you're in a tourist area and it's California, so that wasn't exactly surprising. They made for a decent meal, and sitting outside was pleasant.

You could really taste the savory bacon bits throughout the whole thing! Corn Salad: So delish! I loved the sweet burst of corn mixed into the salad. Poke Nachos: The tuna itself was delicious and noticeably fresh, but the dish as a whole was a bit too greasy for my liking. It seemed like the chips weren't fully drained from the fryer, leaving them holding onto too much oil. Local Petrale Sole: This dish was just okay. Unfortunately, both the fish and the accompanying rice were a bit too dry for my taste. The steamed veggies in this dish was super good though!

We also tried the CA shrimp roll, which had similar dressing/seasoning and was just as tasty. They also have slaw or "flat fries" option, which we opted for and they were so good! There are some benches to sit at & enjoy, or you can walk to the pier and eat there. Very little shade, but there are public bathrooms right by the benches.
