The food was so good we ended up coming back two days in a row. Everything was reasonably priced, the portions were generous, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The ambiance is beautiful and really adds to the overall experience. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting! read more

Spectacular view of the rock. We were there in a week day cross were very light when we arrived. The staff was very friendly and conversive. We ordered some oysters a bowl of clam chowder and a Dutchie bowl. The clam chowder was really good but not great. The local oysters were delicious a nice taste of the sea. Nice in size. The bowl was made with ahi tuna and was delicious. The rice was a bit too clumped up though. The fish stole the show. A very nice stop that will be repeated. Bonus for table seating and a nice wait staff. Many other purveyors offered a mere order window and a saturation of fried fish. read more

Dropped in while on family business and ordered fish and chips (halibut) this item was obviously from frozen may have been made from fresh fish but it was frozen prior to being cooked as it had the watery taste to the stringy tuff fish (overcooked) by a long way . Informed our waiter and he said sorry ....that was it drinks where served fast and correct but the fish was terrible. read more

Omg! You can't go here and not get the sourdough bread bowl of clam chowder!! It was beyond incredible!! I also got a shrimp cocktail that was more than the norm: it not only had cocktail sauce but cucumber. My daughter got the steak and frites (minus the chimichurri sauce). It was cooked perfectly rare to her liking. The service was amazing and very attentive. We watched otters play right next to our table, boats passing by, and the rock. We will definitely be back. read more

We ordered to go. Both had the Fish, Prawns and Chips. Excellently prepared, large portions. The tartar and cocktail sauces are obviously house made and were both excellent. The fish and prawns were perfectly cooked. Loved the fries too! read more

Culinary creative dishes with a view of Morro Rock. I had dinner here last night and ordered 1) Grassy Bay oysters 2) Clam chowder 3) Beets/Buffalo salad The fresh local oysters from our estuary in Morro Bay were medium-size and served on ice with a red vinegar mignonette with scallions and/or a red cocktail sauce with creamy horseradish. Very nice presentation with sprigs of fresh dill and sliced lemons. These weren't really briny, but has a mild saltiness. The clam chowder was also very good. Creamy white soup served with oyster crackers. I like to add a splash of hot sauce like Tabasco. The highlight for me was the beet and buffalo mozzarella (soft and round) salad which was beautiful. A slight hint of fennel added a nice subtle flavor. The chef has made a nice impression for me. I will definitely come again and try a few of the specials. read more

Another wonderful meal in Morro Bay. Didn't have a reservation, not sure if they take them. But walking in during the long weekend, it was about a 30/45 minute wait. They took our number down which gave us time to walk around the waterfront and catch the sunset. It was pretty busy but did noticed some empty tables that no one was sitting the whole time for our waiting time. From prior visit, had to get the onion rings again as they were great. As well as the mussels and fries. Entrees, the ciopinno is a much. Plenty of seafood and the broth was delicious. Served with garlic bread for dipping. We also went with halibut special which, wow. Perfect size and served over a bed of grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. And top with shrimp, capers, tomatoes and a nice garlic sauce. Everything was amazing and very filling. Cocktail was great as well. read more

Ate lunch here and sat by the window with the fabulous view of the harbor. The atmosphere was perfect. The service was just the right amount of attentive. My wife was more than pleased with the clam chowder and I was very happy with the fish and chips. Very happy we chose this restaurant. read more

Long time Morro Bay establishment with an amazing location. Diverse, seafood focused menu. Full bar available. Not busy during our lunch visit so service was nicely quick. Our service person was excellent. I came hungry today so an appetizer was in order. The Shrimp Croquettes, which if memory serves were a special, sounded great. Served with a Romesco sauce. Unfortunately, they were served lukewarm. And the flavor of the sauce was the overwhelming taste. If you ordered them without the sauce or on the side and they came warm I think these would be much better. My DW chose to order what was the seasonal salad-A Beet and Burrata Salad served with grilled bread. This came served on bibb lettuce with a miso style dressing. Prepared with red and gold beets, it looked gorgeous and the taste was pronounced as "delicious". My choice today was the 3 Piece Cod and Chips. I feel if you like cod and chips this should be your choice as well. Perfectly fried fresh flaky fish with a light tempura batter. I would bet big money this was never frozen fish battered at time of order. It most certainly tasted like it. The fries were hot and fresh. We would come back here every time we visited without reservations. They 100% know what they are doing. Highly recommended. read more

Came here for the first time with all my employees for dinner. We more or less took over the entire dining area in front of the bar. The bar tender was very nice and attentive. I idmdt catch name but looked Hispanic with guages in his ear. For drinks i ordered a beer and the Passion Fruit Margarita. A beer is a beer but the margarita tasted like flavored water. It was strong at all, not even sure it had liquor in it, there was a lot of ice and it was in a standard glass and not a true margaritas glass. Instead of salt they put sugar around the rim of the glass. Either way it was a wasted $13. Appetizers I had were all good. This included the ahi poke chips, calamari and clam chowder. No complaints at all.on any of these. For my dinner I ordered the steak and lobster tail special. Issue here was the steak was very small, thin, and was well done after I asked for medium rare. But aside from that, it was as bland as can be. I did complain and I received a whole new steak. The New steak was much larger and probably the one given with the normal steak dinner vs the steak and lobster special. But even so, I could see the cook threw a bunch of butter and garlic on it. It still lacked salt and pepper. It was cooked closer to medium rare and was a way better piece but just lacked any flavor. The asparagus that came with my dinner also need to be cooked more, salted and probably coated in either oil or butter. Picture is of the steak and lobster as I received it. read more

We had a great experience here despite the long wait for our table. We were walking down embarcadero and saw this place and menu. We liked what was on the menu and put our name down. It was an hour wait so we walked around the shops until we were called. We were seated right by the window by the water and I was so happy with that location. We ordered the fresh oysters, the Steamers (forgot to taks a pic) and the Dutchmans Platter Loved the oysters that we ordered another plate. Very fresh and plump. The clams were just how we wanted it, steamed with white wine. It came with garlic bread! Perfect! The seafood combo plate though we were disappointed. The fish and shrimp although plump and meaty were very oily once we bit into it. The rest of the seafood was good! It came with a salad so it was just right! Price is more affordable that other restaurants in the area. Service is okay. read more

Service varied between average to I really wish I didn't work here depending on the server. Prices are what they are given the location. I wouldn't say this place is bad as the fried seafood platter I got was definitely freshly fried and noticeably better than your average fried seafood. The Bloody Mary was also pretty solid. Overall I was looking forward to getting food at the fish market but they were closed due to a power outage. This place was an ok second choice read more

On our way to Cambria, we decided to try a new seafood spot and found Dutchman's Seafood via Yelp. I ordered the Fish & Chips, and my wife had the Clam Chowder. While neither dish was terrible, both were underwhelming compared to what we were hoping for. In hindsight, we wished we had stuck with our original choice, Duckies Chowder House in Cayucos. read more

We stopped by morro bay to eat and saw this restaurant near the water. The ambiance is very open and the view was very pretty. The service was ok but the food came out fast. The cioppino was delicious and flavorful. The seafood inside tasted fresh. The dozen oysters tasted fresh and absolutely a must get. The Dutchman's platter was a good combination to get to try differnt fried food. All the food was delicious and would definitely recommend if you are in morro bay. read more

We always hit Dutchman's whenever we're on the Central Coast. We always get the fried shrimp and fish plate with a cup of chowder. It seems that the batter was not the same. (no flavor, not seasoned properly) The cod was also mushy and underwhelming. Cod should be flakey and firm. These items used to be great. Now it's over battered and just meh. Chowder is still on point. read more

We loved the clam chowder and their garlic fries. The fried clams were more breading than clam. The calamari and fried fish were pretty good but I wish they had other sauce options. I think it was just marinara, ranch and a sweet and sour sauce. The staff were nice and the food came out pretty quickly. read more

Oyster paradise!!! Great sole, and calamari! Great view and attentive service! Dessert was great, very clean!!!

We stopped for a late lunch at Dutchman's. We had not been to Morro Bay fo quite some time, and this place had a long line, so we thought it would be good. The view was beautiful. Nice location. The restaurant was clean, and quiet. We ordered fish and chips, which were good, but didn't make it into the great category. My chicken bowl was good, too. It was flavorful, but needed more sauce. Ahi bowl was tasty, but needed fewer wontons and more rice. Overall, service was attentive and food value seemed good for this area. We would return and remember to bring cash. There was a discount! read more

Husband and I decided to try this restaurant while on vacation to the Morro Bay Area . First thing we noticed was a lot of flies all around our table. However the view from our table made up for the flies. Boats floating nearby was beautiful. I ordered 2 fish tacos with rock cod for 22 dollars. Basically I got a huge amount of cabbage and a tiny amount of fish which had no flavor or seasoning. The black beans tasted like they just came out of a can with some water added to them. Husband got fish and chips... mostly fries with two small pieces of fish. What a disappointment this meal was. If you are wondering if you should eat here... I would say no. read more

We came here because the famous Giovanni that we normally go to was busy. This place was recommended by a vendor close by. We decide to order the halibut fish and chips since it is not normally served at many of the fish places. To our surprise the halibut fish and chips was awesome. I've eaten this dish at many places so I consider myself somewhat of an expert. The batter was light and the fish was white and flaky. The server was super nice giving me a bowl of clam chowder when I ordered a cup. It wasn't a mistake but wanted everyone to try the chowder at the table. I highly recommend this place. read more

We come here every time we're in Morro Bay as it's part of the nostalgia for my husband. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised to come their first day open after the remodel. The place was desperately in need of an update and the new restaurant looks amazing! The menu also got an update and they had a cocktail menu that we didn't remember from before. We had the sole, steak frites, and kids cheeseburger. Along with an espresso martini and paper plane to drink. We enjoyed our food and the service was great. We of course love the views while we eat as well. 10/10 recommend especially with the new update. My only worry is they'll be even busier when we're visiting. read more

Dutchman's Seafood House is a great place that overlooks Morry Bay. It offers seafood , and sandwiches . They have very friendly staff with a good atmosphere and average prices. One complaint was that we ate here on a weekday at 11 am, so it was pretty quiet. But it took a while to get our meal. Also, the waitress brought the wrong food and she kept forgetting everything we asked for, so this was frustrating. We went on a rainy day so we couldn't see much from the window view. read more

Everything here was very fresh! Especially the oysters we started off with, which were also a great size. I ordered the albacore tuna melt as my entree for dinner. It was pretty tasty! The bread was nicely toasted and the tuna inside was plentiful. Also very cheesy and creamy, but it wasn't as savory as I liked. Very good with some tobasco though! Also tried their snapper which I thought was nothing special. It was a bit overcooked and under seasoned. Their clam chowder was great though. We were seated quickly on a Thursday night around 7PM. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. A good experience overall! read more
