    Side of shrimp? Or is this Shrimp Scampi??
    Kalen L.

    Great service, nice atmosphere, but the food needs work. 1) Shrimp scampi: rating 1/10. Disappointingly small 5 shrimp on a plate. The sides took up most of the plate. So essentially I paid for a $32 plate of veggies and fried potato cake with a side of shrimp. See photo of my plate of sides. 2) Pacific Red Snapper (Cajun spice), veggies and mash potatoes. $32 Rating 7/10. 3) Clam Chowder: $12 bowl. Rating 2/10. Oddly off tasting. Not sure how you get that wrong around here. 4) Fish & Chips: Rating 8/10. Hard to get that wrong. It was pretty good. $25

    This was a place to walk up to order and they give you a pager. The fish and chips were good. The malt vinegar and salt came in small packets. That's not my favorite. The fries were crisp. They had free refills on drinks. We ate on the patio overlooking the harbor. This is a nice place for tourists.

    Harbor Hut is a favorite when we're in Morro Bay; this is not our first time. The fried options are very good. The salmon is a 4 out of five, but skip the pilaf for another choice. The clam chowder is also a favorite. There are very many things I would avoid, but the bruschetta is one of them. I mean, why would we expect good bruschetta at a seafood place? Soggy bread, little to no olive oil, just not good bruschetta. I'll rave about the oysters though. If you live then on the half shell they are big, tasty, a not overly priced. The view is amazing!

    It was between The Harbor Hut and Frankie and Lola's across the street - and seeing as how I'm not big with breakfast, we went to the Harbor Hut. I ordered the Fish and Chips - with a salad. It was so delicious! Seems the further north you go, the better the fish and chips become! The service was amazing! I didn't catch our waiter's name but he was so unbelievably kind and sweet. Prompt service - but as a human being, he needs a raise! My only issue with the Harbor House was the ambiance of the restaurant was not my vibe in the slightest - tiki, fish, tropical, boats. But that is absolutely no reason to knock even half a star down.

    This is our fav restaurant in Morro Bay!!! We love the tiki/surf flair to the decor. The views of the harbor and Morro Rock!!!! We've had various servers (Dylan & Reese) that are amazing! So friendly and efficient!!!! The food and drinks are also great! We really love the big kahuna Mai tai's! On our last visit, we had the stuffed jalapeño and crabcake appetizers, and they were both beautifully presented and equally delicious! We also love that they are very welcoming to dogs, both inside and out.

    The best fish and chips I've ever had. Great service and amazing views. Shocked by the low rating. We'll be back!

    Troy and heather, you should be disappointed with the staff that you have hired for this establishment. Spent over $200 here expecting great service and good vibes, but unfortunately, the experience was anything but. We ordered a variety of food for the entire table to share, yet our server, Malia, was extremely rude and unprofessional. Instead of treating us with respect, she and another staff member were overheard talking down on our group simply because not everyone was ordering individual meals. That kind of attitude is completely unacceptable--especially at a place with premium pricing. If you're spending that kind of money, you expect to be treated with basic courtesy. We won't be coming back.

    My dinner was delicious and I had a beautiful view. This night was important to me as I celebrated my late husbands life.

    It took over an hour to receive food that was bland & over cooked. The manager was extremely rude and very judgemental.

    STAX is tucked into cozy location on the corner across from Morro Rock…read more We enjoyed comfortable outdoor seating.and 60 degree weather, fog was beginning to burn off. The Morro Bay car show is going on for three days lots of cruisers passing our patio table. We decided on their bowl ofseafood chowder it was velvety thick excellent generous portions of scallops, clams, shrimp complemented with small bites of potato's with all the perfect spices it was a 10. We added two filet mignon steak fajitas but taco style. They were delicious the seasoned filet mignon along with the sweet onions and peppers with a queso fresco on a warm corn tortillas were outstanding We topped our terrific late lunch off with a moist flavorful piece of carrot cake and carmel sauce that we shared. James our waiter was super friendly. STAX along with their perfected menu has large impressive selection of local and notable wines and champagne. STAX has a perfect laid back atmosphere to enjoy with friends. Our next trip we'll enjoy a couple bottles and the sunset

    Service ok. Had to wait a bit for wine refills but no big deal…read more Crab cakes~delicious. Tacos were ok. Kind of pricey for what you get. My bad for not paying attention. I ordered what I thought were fajitas and the waiter came and brought two tacos. I was a little surprised. Two tacos for that price is a little ridiculous and they were just okay. Ambience was chic~outdoors on a tall table people watching while having amazing conversation. Also, dog friendly and enjoyed watching dogs make small talk. Lol

    We stopped by Giovanni's Fish Market for a quick half dozen charbroiled oysters with sriracha…read morebutter and they were absolutely amazing. The oysters were incredibly fresh and the sriracha butter gave them the perfect kick and flavor. They were so delicious and packed with flavor. Service was quick which made it a perfect stop while walking around. The view is also great which made the whole experience even better. Simple, quick, and seriously delicious. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

    In the continued search for good clam chowder, we stopped here for one of the many meals we'll be…read morehaving this weekend. The menu is extensive but I only had one thing in mind and thus I got the CLAM CHOWDER BOWL $6.99 and HALIBUT fish and chips $24.99 plus $2 garlic fries upgrade. Sorry to say this place is as many have said, a tourist trap. The halibut batter lacked seasoning it was practically tasteless. It's freshly fried however. Fries upgrade helped the fries only. The entire basket didn't taste much like anything and the tartar didn't help. The clam chowder was very salty. And I mean, very. It barely had clams in it and didn't taste rich and mostly had big cubes of potato. It was disappointing. The lines can get very long very fast. They have a good spot with greats views or Morro Rock. Parking is free everywhere to my knowledge.
