Within walking distance from the Hampton Inn & Suites. Busy place with lots of locals. Had the fish taco's and were very good. Main coarse, wife and I shared the Scalone. We have been spoiled with California Abalone and found this dish nice. Served fresh and hot, so was enjoyable. Restaurant can use some updating as to there decor. Service... More

We enjoyed eating at the Quarterdeck. The service was attentive and the food was very good. I had the light eaters plate and it was more enough for me. The clam chowder was especially good. It was good value for the price. More

We always eat here when we are in the area. My family lives here and we visit often. The food here never disappoints us their Quarterdeck Sampler is huge and my husband always gets the half and still has to share. The clam chowder is very tasty and my favorite are their clam strips. If you are in the area... More

Place serves good, fresh seafood at reasonable prices. On busy Friday night, we were seated quickly. Seafood sampler was generous and steamed clams were well done, not overly buttery. Sourdough loaf didn't taste any different from regular white bread. More

We live here on the central coast of California and are always looking for good fish and chips. After trying most of our local places we find that the Quarterdeck can not be beat. We have tried several items on their menu and have never been disappointed. More

Sady this was our 2nd trip to this restaurant and it disappointed us greatly. I don't like to write bad reviews, but the truth is the truth. Food was delivered to us cold. Not enough settings, water never refilled. Server was brand new and poorly trained. Not going back :( More

I am very sorry about your experience. We just saw your review and wanted to let you know we take great pride in our restaurant and service. It is rare and unfortunate when a server has a bad day and things aren't up to standards. This feedback is very helpful for re-training, improving, and informing the wait staff. With summer... More
