Wine with a view!

The hospitality and service here are what most places are missing. And, the wines and view.... Unbeatable! Come!!!! You will love it.

Enjoy a glass of wine and the view of Morro Rock

Always a treat for a glass of wine, friendly locals and an unmatched view. The folks at The Savory Palette deliver excellent food and great wines. Come for the wine, enjoy the food, stay for the hospitality and the music. Life on our Central Coast is a treat, and The Savory Palette is part of that.

10/10 one hundred percent recommended to everyone We came from Delano to see a rock at Morro Rock. Yes a rock. It was around 8:30 when our rock adventure ended and only the Savory Palette was open past 9 pm. The owners were very nice and welcoming. We got a bottle of wine, flat bread, and a charcuterie board. Everything was great.

Beautiful high tea in Morro Bay at the Savory Palette.  Had such fun chatting with our hosts, who couldn't be kinder.

Amazing food, wine, and great view. Had a lovely birthday high tea overlooking Morro Bay with wonderful hosts! Thank you ladies for everything!!

Beers, Wine, Cheese Platter, Views and Friends. Doesn't get much better.

Hidden gem in Morro Bay!! I've been here multiple times, and I absolutely love this place. I'm almost hate to tell the world of Yelp about it, but I really hope this business succeeds. Great prices, great curated wine/beer selection. You can sit inside or outside, and they have a perfect view next to the harbor with a view of Morro Rock. The two owners who also run the place are friendly and make sure to tailor your cheese platter to whatever you're drinking too. A++

The Savory Palette is a wonderful place for wine, beer, small bites, and music. It has a wonderful local vibe. Tammy and Nancy are welcoming to everyone.

Wow is all I can say! This little quaint wine bar is unbelievable. Everything is freshly made and they pair the wine to the food. The ambience fit the food and environment perfectly. They change the menu almost daily. The view is spectacular. You get to enjoy the beautiful bay and marine life. On the weekends they have a variety of live music. The place is a semi open space yet have a cozy feel. This wonderful gem is a must! The grilled cheese was grilled to perfection with three different cheeses and a tomato basil soup. We also ordered a peach goat cheese with prosciutto and other yummy flavors. We topped it off with a chocolate chip and lemon pound cake all homemade. All four of us loved everything. When in Morro Bay... get over to The Savory Palette. They are expanding to loose leaf teas. They hold private parties and fundraisers. Check it out!

We had been here once before and really liked the wine, small plates, and super-friendly service. We made it a point to come here first thing after we arrived in the SLO Area since it was a Sunday and this spot is only open Fri, Sat, Sun. We had a very enjoyable time with a great Petite Syrah, crab cakes, and a wedge salad. It was my 80th birthday and they insisted on providing a dessert for free. It was a blueberry-lemony cake that had been warmed with the crust toasted (in their pizza oven, we think). It was served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and was outstandingly delicious. We sat outside and chatted with Cynthia, who owns the bistro with her husband. The backstory of their ownership is quite interesting. This place has a casual family feel with incredible awareness of the locals (and even their dogs). It is also quite a unique location, close to Morro Rock and the stacks from the no-longer-functioning power plant nearby. We will want to come for dinner the next time since our visits thus far have been before the dinner menu was available. Thanks to Cynthia, her husband and the great staff.

While searching Yelp for a wine spot on a Monday evening, I came across this place. One of the…read morebiggest draws was that it's one of the few locations open until 9 PM, and since I was hoping to try some local wines, I decided to stop in. When I arrived, I was surprised by how small the space was. There were a few seats at the bar, a couch inside, and a couple of outdoor tables where you can enjoy views of the famous rock. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I had a few questions about the wines, but unfortunately, the staff member working didn't seem very knowledgeable about the selections. While they were friendly and welcoming, I was a bit disappointed because part of the experience I enjoy at a wine bar is learning about the wines, their backgrounds, and the local wineries they come from. Overall, the wine and atmosphere were enjoyable, and it's a nice spot to start or end an evening. Just be aware that if you're looking for detailed information or recommendations about the wines, the staff may not be able to provide much insight.

We were so glad they were able to accommodate us, especially since they might have been closing soon themselves. Marissa welcomed us with such a warm and inviting attitude, making us feel comfortable right from the start. We enjoyed some drinks and complimentary bread and butter while settling in. We ordered the Seafood Pasta, which looked incredibly appetizing. The seasoning was a little lighter than I personally prefer, but it was still delicious in more ways than one. The restaurant itself strikes a wonderful balance between classy and cozy, maintaining that lovely coastal atmosphere while offering an elegant dining experience. What truly made the evening special, though, was the exceptional service. We never felt rushed or pressured to hurry, despite arriving late. Marissa reassured us that we were more than welcome to stay and take our time, which made us feel genuinely appreciated. The Galley is definitely one of the top spots in Morro Bay. If we can manage to get a table again, considering how busy they get most nights, we will absolutely be coming back!

This was my third visit to Tognazzini's Dockside in about three years and my second visit within…read morethe past year. Unfortunately, each visit has felt a little less impressive than the one before it, and this most recent experience was disappointing enough that I probably would not return. Parking is usually easy, and I have never had to walk more than a couple of minutes. There are also a couple of EV spaces nearby. When my girlfriend and I walked inside, the restaurant felt unusually warm, humid, and stuffy. It was uncomfortable enough that we briefly considered leaving. We chose outdoor seating instead, but that comes with its own drawbacks. The tables are exposed to the afternoon sun, pedestrians walk just feet away, vehicles pass close by, and the working dock is nearby, so you hear forklifts, unloading equipment, and active fishing operations throughout the meal. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, which I have ordered on all three visits. They were good and are honestly one of the main reasons I have continued returning. They are not easy to find where I live, and this version is enjoyable, even if it is not on the level of what I have had in places like New Orleans. My girlfriend ordered the clam chowder with bacon. We have been comparing clam chowders around the Central Coast, and unfortunately this one ranked last among the several we have tried so far. She described it as average and nothing memorable. I ordered the steamer clams, and this was easily the biggest disappointment. The very first clam I ate had noticeable grit in it, and unfortunately that continued through most of the bowl. I would estimate that the majority of the clams had some amount of sand or grit, which made them unpleasant to eat. I also found one clam that remained completely closed after cooking. I left it untouched. At a restaurant specializing in seafood, I expected more careful preparation and inspection. The broth was also surprisingly bland. I ended up adding hot sauce just to give it more flavor. As I worked through the broth, I also noticed three small hairs. I cannot say where they came from, but finding multiple hairs in the same dish was understandably concerning and further reduced my appetite. The service did not help. Our server took our order, delivered drinks and food, and eventually brought the check, but there was very little interaction between those points. No one checked whether we needed anything or asked how the food was going. That was especially frustrating because if someone had checked in, I would have had an opportunity to mention the problems with the clams while I was eating them. Overall, the Oysters Rockefeller were still good, but almost everything else about this visit was disappointing: the uncomfortable indoor environment, noisy outdoor seating, average chowder, gritty clams, bland broth, cleanliness concerns, and minimal service. I have enjoyed this restaurant more in the past, but after this experience, I think there are other places around Morro Bay where I would rather spend my money.
