On a quick day trip on a Friday afternoon, we decided to give this place a try. No reservation and were promptly greeted and seated. Although we did not have a full bay view, we had a partial bay view. Some hits and misses with food and service. 1. Bowl of Clam Chowder (no bread bowls available). Chowder was piping hot and had nice pieces of clams (dad got a bit of clam shell..so be careful), celery and potatoes. The chowder was very creamy and not grainy or watery like other locations. I would definitely order again 5/5 2. Fish & Chips: Fresh Pacific cod, lightly breaded, served with house-made tartar sauce. Fish was fried to perfection. 5/5 3. Seafood Pasta: Linguini with jumbo prawns, fresh catch, Cajun cream sauce, garlic bread. Everything tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly 5/5 4. Side of Garlic bread: extremely disappointing. We ordered garlic bread with our chowder, it never came. Waitress decided to serve it with the mains (fish and chips) and we ordered for the entire table and she only brought 2 pieces. 5. Insalata Molina: Mixed greens, arugula, pear, walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, mango vinaigrette. Couldn't tell you if this was any good bc the waitress NEVER brought but charged us for it. She then takes it off the bill and brings me the salad in a Styrofoam container. I told her I didn't want it and put it in my bag. Salad was so soggy (which means the kitchen prepared it and the waitress forgot to serve it) I would not order and do not recommend ordering it bc it was the size of a side salad definitely not worth the price point. 6. Mocktail Lavender lemonade: definitely not balanced, was pretty tart and again the price point was off. It was about 8oz lemonade for $12 They do offer a nice selection of wines. Restrooms are located outside the restaurant and are public restrooms, pretty dirty and out of stock. Although our service was a big miss, I do recommend the food items we ordered. I did take a star off due to the service.

The whipped butter and warm bread are perfection and the view!

The pieces of fish were huge, with a light, crispy batter and tender, flaky fish inside--everything you want in a great fish and chips meal. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and every dish hit the mark. If you're craving simple, delicious seafood in Morro Bay, add this place to your list. We'd definitely come back!

I can't believe have been living here since June and just heard about this place. We popped in for dinner after getting back to town and we were not disappointed. The staff's enthusiasm and friendliness would have you believe this place was brand new but they've been open just about a year. We both got the Tri-Tip sandwich. One of us went with fries and the other tater tots. Both were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The sandwiches were delicious. The meat wasn't tough at all, it was flavored well, and so juicy. I definitely recommend it. We asked a passing waiter if the bar made Micheladas and he said they sure do so we ordered one. I thought it was great. My husband said it was the best he'd had in a while. Overall great experience. Even got to pet a couple dogs on the Pet friendly patio. Only picture I snapped was of the amazing sunset we were treated to. I will for sure be back for those smoked ribs. read more

I wish I had taken pictures of our food to share. When we walked in with our large party of nine, the waitress quickly arranged tables for us on the patio without hesitation. Our server was attentive and checked in frequently, but never in an intrusive way. Now, let's talk about the food. The chicken strips were uniquely delicious, proving they know their craft. The Outlaw burger was mouthwatering, and the clam chowder was the best we've had in a long time. The wraps and bowls were also a hit at our table. You must try the creamy cilantro dressing--it's simply delightful. And the fries! We sampled the thin, shoe-string regular fries, the beer-battered fries, and the crisscut sweet potato fries. They were all amazing and got passed around the entire table. Dining on the patio with a view of the bay made the experience even better. This place is a must-visit. read more

My partner and I each ordered tri-tip sandwiches with tater-tots. The tri-tip was juicy and flavorful with plenty of BBQ sauce. The sandwich bun had been toasted and the sandwich included fried onions and cheese. The sandwich was good, but there wasn't much to choose from in terms of sides. There is a nice view of Morro Rock from both the deck and inside the restaurant; I think that the location of the restaurant is a factor in the price of the meal (about $40 total). I would definitely visit the restaurant again. read more

I ordered the bowl of clam chowder and it did not disappoint! The chowder was rich, flavorful and incredibly filling, perfectly paired with the warm garlic bread on the side. The customer service was outstanding - our server checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better.

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.

This was that restaurant. Apparently, we had unfinished business. This time, the universe finally let us eat. I ordered the Ortega burger with sweet potato fries, my wife had the patty melt with onion rings, and we took an order of linguini home for later. Every single bite was fantastic.
