Bayside Cafe is such a convenient and solid spot if you're staying at the campground nearby. We…read moreordered the clam chowder and the avocado shrimp Caesar salad, and both were genuinely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a day outside. What really made it stand out was how easy the whole experience was. We called in the order ahead of time, walked over from the state park, and everything was ready for pickup without any hassle. Super efficient and perfect for a camping trip setup when you don't want to deal with a long wait or sit-down meal. The hostess was also incredibly friendly, which made the whole interaction feel welcoming from the start. Big bonus that they're dog friendly too--always appreciated when traveling with a pup. After grabbing food, we explored the nearby trails around the bay, which honestly made the whole experience even better. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Morro Bay.

Bayside Cafe was our lunch choice after having a nice paddle out to the sand dunes with the kayaks…read morewe rented (shoutout to A Kayak Shack) and what a great choice that turned out to be. Service was welcoming and friendly, the clam chowder is a must, our drinks stayed filled, and the ambience complimented the calm, cool, friday morning we had earlier on the water. California clam chowder - As described on their menu, it is a mix of their clam chowder and their spicy green chile soup. We absolutely loved this. I appreciate that it was not too salty, something that tends to be for a lot of places that serves clam chowder. There was plenty of clams, as you would expect but I come to find out later on my trip to a fish house in Monterey that this isn't always the case. We will come back to Bayside Cafe just for this. Fish & Chips - This one could have been a lot better. The fries and fish were fried to perfection but would have liked more seasoning since I did not get much from the fish. Drinks: Iced Tea - Sure, Iced tea not sweetened can be the same anywhere else but I don't know what it is but the brew that day was on point. The best part was that our servers made sure we didn't see the bottom. Overall, if they improved upon the flavor on the fish and chips and increased the portion of fries, I think Bayside Cafe would be a solid 5/5. Regardless, their location, clam chowder, and friendly service, is enough for me to return if we go kayaking again!

I'm a regular customer at Dorn's, it's been a favorite eatery of mine for about ten years and about…read morethe same for my buddy Joe, I've brought my share of dates, family, and friends to enjoy this friendly with great food, fine establishment. Tuesday evening was different only in the fact that "WE" chose Dorn's for "OUR" after Wedding place to enjoy a dinner and celebrate here with all. We took our vow's at the 24st beach in Cayucos, our Aloha wedding on the sand. Monica and I chose an M&M's candy theme, we passed out some of the candy as we came into the restaurant and gave some to the staff, all in good fun. We were greeted by our server Joy T. and the dinner fun was on! Joy took great care of the six of us. Champagne was poured order was taken and we're On. The Oysters arrived in a timely fashion, boom then the Caesar salad my wife and I shared perfect, and the entrees followed. Everything was fresh and hot and all the entrees were served at the same time, thank you. WoW nicely done kitchen and orchestrated by Joy herself. She then followed the show with a special congratulatory Chocolate Moose dessert (see pic). The evening was very special to us and those that we shared our wedding day meal at Dorn's. Thank You Joy!

I always love to bring visitors to Dorn's. I like how it is above the Embarcadero and you can get…read morethe ocean view as well as a view of the Embarcadero.

I was cleaning off my phone pics and found these pics taken a couple years ago on my birthday, boy did you make me feel special!! I haven't been for a while, I think it is time for another visit soon.

A search for restaurants with oysters led us to Mirazur. Was a fantastic meal. The Blue Points on…read morethe half shell did not disappoint. We are also a huge fan of duck and their French-style duck was cooked to perfection. The rack of lamb was tasty as well. We finished with the pistachio crème brûlée and enjoyed every bite. The wine list is limited but they offer a low-cost corkage fee. Our server was super nice and inside the dining room was bright and clean. They also offer bayside patio dining, which we passed on due to the wind/cold, but seemed like it would be lovely on a warmer night. Overall, a great experience. Definitely recommend!

The service was Excellent. Could not have asked for better quality service…read more This is the first time we went for ( so called early meal) We both had the regular egg Benedict. Really was not impressed with the food at all. Sauce tasted tangy, hardly any Canadian bacon, too much bread and most potatoes were burnt. We will give it another try as the dinners use to be awesome. I do hope it was just an off day.

What to Get: Highly recommend the Andiulle and Prawn breakfast platter. The restaurant split the…read moreorder for my wife and me free of charge without us expecting they'd split it for us. Every bite of the dish was perfect to the point I wish it was an endless plate of food. My wife wishes they added more creamy sauce to the dish, but I thought it was just right; we probably could have asked for more sauce on the side, but maybe next time we come back Customer Service: Exceptional service, expectations exceeded. I like how there was a drink waiter and a food waiter to take our orders Price: Approximately $20.55, not including tip for 2 people Ambience: Indoor/Outdoor Seating available. Great view of the sleeping giant in the distance, Morro Rock Overall: Best Experience

Service was friendly, efficient, and attentive. Classic eggs benedict - Eggs were perfectly poached and hollandaise sauce was thick and heavy. I opted for grits instead of potatoes and thought its consistency was perfect. Andouille and shrimp scramble - We really enjoyed how bell peppers were shredded because they were a lot more flavorful than usual. It is a little spicy but overall was tasty. Potatoes were cooked really well too.

We saw this cafe while driving through Los Osos and stopped for a late lunch. Nice patio! We were…read morewelcomed and seated outside on their patio. Garden plants in bloom welcomed us wholeheartedly, along with happy birds and bees. Service was friendly and efficient. My husband had a turkey club with an upsell of onion rings. His sandwich was delicious. Fresh crisp lettuce and veggies, thick slabs of bacon, and turkey. The bread was thick and seemed homemade. Onion rings came out nice and hot. My husband loved all of the sauces. I ordered the Brassica Crunch salad. Every ingredient was fresh and well prepared. It was nice to find a salad that was not from the regular salad templates that are on every menu. Loved the crunchies on it, mixed greens, broccoli, and cauliflower. The dollop of chevre in the middle was great for spreading on the cheese toast that accompanied the salad. Every bit about our meal at Celias' Garden Cafe was rewarding. So much heart there. Go if you haven't yet. Also looks like it is a lot of fun at night with cornhole, connect four, and live music too.

Fireplace in room for heat and fan for cooling off. Fridge in room and microwave in lobby if needed. Bed was comfortable. Cons- black mold in the restroom, found a half eaten strawberry on the floor by the trash bin, sliding door is old and very loud & u can't lock the screen door and it had a large tear that flies and bugs can get through. If staying on lower level rooms u can hear the top rooms movement it is very loud. Overpriced, Nothing around except the restaurant on site, u have to drive to the shops and restaurants, not too far though, I just used DoorDash. No air conditioning. Patio is not private like I thought it was on the picture. My dog and I had a good stay, but I won't stay again they need to fix the mold issues, the sliding doors and screen door, and price needs to reflect what your getting, paying $400 including the discount price for two nights on a weekday is not worth it.
