We enjoyed perfectly prepared fresh halibut; excellent service and outstanding sunset views of Bay. We highly recommend this restaurant for a special evening meal.

Delicious filet-mignon & broiled shrimp - dessert was outstanding - Orange Coconut Creme Bruele was the best ever! Nice wine list - attentive service. The nicest restaurant in Morro Bay by far.

We ate dinner here with a large group over the Memorial Day weekend. All meals had been pre-ordered weeks in advance and while the food was excellent the service left something to be desired. The wait for food service to begin was way too long and once started, they seemed to have trouble coordinating getting all meals to each table... More

We began our drive up California's beautiful coast on Highway #1 at Morro Bay and continued to Monterey. Dinner at Windows on the Water was one of the highlights of the stay there. The view from the restaurant looking out toward Morro Bay's famous rock, the very helpful and friendly staff and the delicious San Dab fish dinner will stand... More

The seafood here is as fresh as it gets. Sand dabs were so light they seemed to float off the plate. The abalone appetizer was perfectly prepared and, despite a wasabi-based sauce, was fully-flavored and exceptionally tasty. service as flawless. Even though we had not reserved, they fit us in with only a short wait to be seated overlooking the... More

We were at Windows on the Water in early April. It was so lovely. We arrived at 6:30 in time to watch the sun slowly setting beyond Morro Rock. The serenity of the view was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday. We had a corner table, and an excellent server. The food was spectacular and everything about the evening... More

Another one of my top 10. The meals are amazing, Hand made lobster ravioli, margarita froth, what's not to like. Our server explained the meals very well. It is rare that someone needs to explain a meal but here it is well worth listening when dining here. The restaurant overlooks the ocean and if your lucky you may see some... More

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. The setting was spectacular with an impressive view of the bay. The food was excellent in taste and in presentation, and the service was perfect. We had a goat cheese bruschetta with fig jam appetizer and the haddock main course; both were delicious. It was our best meal in Morro Bay.

We spent a lovely weekend in Morro Bay staying in the home of a friend but didn't want to cook our dinners. We were fortunate to find this wonderful restaurant and be seated at a large window with an unobstructed view of Morro Rock. With a broad menu, good service and delicious food, you cannot make a mistake dining here.... More
