This has been our go-to restaurant in Morro Bay for many years. Tyler is an amazing server. He greeted us cheerfully, was attentive, and he made our dining experience one of the best we've ever had. We will definitely be back whenever we are in town. read more

The wait was only 5 min to be seated, but the wait to be waited on was about 15 min, than another 20 min to 30 min for our food, thank goodness our waiter was very nice and apologetic to us for everything. The clam chowder soup and bread bowl was so delicious! I couldn't even eat the bread bowl, it really fills you up. I had a bite of my son's hamburger, and for the price and taste I was very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend the burger to anyone. The ambience was nice, the employees were all very nice as well. I will definitely be back. The view is amazing at sunset, you are overlooking the water and the rock. read more

A pleasant surprise, with a few caveats. The Dutchie in Morro Bay ended up being better than we expected. Cool space, good service, and genuinely great views to go with it. The standouts were the dishes that leaned on freshness. The rockfish ceviche was excellent, and the tataki was really great as well, both clearly built around quality, fresh seafood. Where the menu dipped was on items that seemed like they were working from frozen rather than fresh product. The shrimp croquettes in particular fell flat compared to everything else we ordered. Overall a good experience and worth a visit, especially if you stick to the fresher, more special items on the menu. read more

Ate here on a sunday early evening. The service was super good, every staff member is helping with every table. Got lots of free refills on a diet Pepsi. I ordered the half dozen oysters and these were great, especially with the horseradish sauce. Also the bistro fries were good, but very oily towards the end. I got the cioppino since it offered so many different seafoods. It was super light and needed a bit more salt. There was plenty of calamari in it, loved the lobster tail as well. I didnt eat the garlic toast that comes with it as I'm gluten free but my partner said the toast and the soup didn't complement each other. They were just both good on their own. We also ordered the local rock cod and this was good. The vegetables could use more seasoning though read more

The restaurant offers great views and excellent service. I ordered a sandwich, but I also had the chance to try my husband's fish and shrimp with chips. I'm usually not a big seafood fan, but I have to admit that I really enjoyed the fish and chips at the Dutchie. My husband insisted it was because the seafood was so fresh, and after trying it, I believe him. read more

Dropped in while on family business and ordered fish and chips (halibut) this item was obviously from frozen may have been made from fresh fish but it was frozen prior to being cooked as it had the watery taste to the stringy tuff fish (overcooked) by a long way . Informed our waiter and he said sorry ....that was it drinks where served fast and correct but the fish was terrible. read more

Dutchie was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The seafood is excellent, especially the specials of the day -- every recommendation was spot-on. I had the sea bass with a crab cake, mushrooms, and spinach, and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The restaurant is very kid-friendly, which we truly appreciated, and the views right on the water made the entire meal even more enjoyable. A huge shout-out to Tyler, our waiter -- he was exceptional, attentive without hovering, and his recommendations did not disappoint. We had such a great experience and are already looking forward to coming back. read more

Saw the other Yelp reviews and everyone was raving about clam chowder bread bowls. We ordered two of them, and the Local Rock Cod + the Fish, Prawns & Chips (subbed with onion rings). Definitely see the hype with the clam chowder bowls--it was absolutely stuffed and filled to the brim (and spilling over) with a healthy amount of clams, potatoes, and other goodies. I thought the cod was decent but lacked a bit of flavor. Fish and chips were good and I liked that there wasn't an excessive amount of batter. I liked the onion rings as well! I wish we came during the day so we could see the views of the ocean, but we'll have to visit again read more

We came in on our first night and sat at the bar. I wanted a non-alcoholic drink, and the bartender created a delicious lime-coconut cocktail for me--it was amazing! The service was so warm and attentive that we decided to come back the next night for dinner. I had the clam chowder in a bread bowl, which was absolutely to die for, along with the crudo and shrimp croquettes--everything was fresh and flavorful. We were lucky to have the same bartender again, and the service was just as fantastic as the first night. A+ all around--highly recommend! read more

Good was pretty good. We had our dog with us, and was disappointed that there were no umbrellas, so we ended up sitting in the blinding, sweltering sun. If they had better outdoor seating I'd give it more stars. read more

Wanted lunch looking at Morro Bay Rock and that's exactly what we got! Windows line the entire perimeter of the building and overlook the bay and the rock! All the traditional seafood offerings available. We ordered Tuna Melt, chicken Club, crab & Shrimp salad and clam chowder. All our food was tasty. The clam chowder bowl was large! Had little shrimps floating in the middle. Couldn't finish! Salad was very large, couldn't finish!! Fresh. Also didn't finish the Chicken club which had avocado and bacon!! There were tons of fries, too salty. And my husband DID finish his tuna melt! Nothing stood out as the best ever, but it was all good food. Service was prompt and polite. read more

Honey ordered a special fish& shrimp Ceviche-it was okay, would not order again. Kid ordered the fish & chips. The fish was yummy and there were lots of fries. The restaurant was dark and pretty. There was a bit of a wait, but worth it based on our experience. Will go back next time we're in the area! read more

Located on Embarcadero, in Morro Bay, is Dutchman's Seafood. From the street, you walk through a covered walkway, with stores to each side. Head to the back. When you enter, you see the bar and are welcomed. The whole restaurant is surrounded by windows and a view of the rock and docks! The service was wonderful and the restaurant was clean. I ordered the Fish and Chips. The first bite of the fish made me go weak. I wasn't expecting the fresh fish, perfectly seasoned batter, nice crunch, not greasy fish. Wonderful. The fries (chips) were well seasoned, almost perfectly cooked, could've had more of a crisp, but they were good. Pleasantly surprised! *Overall, very good! View, service and fish were wonderful* read more

Long time Morro Bay establishment with an amazing location. Diverse, seafood focused menu. Full bar available. Not busy during our lunch visit so service was nicely quick. Our service person was excellent. I came hungry today so an appetizer was in order. The Shrimp Croquettes, which if memory serves were a special, sounded great. Served with a Romesco sauce. Unfortunately, they were served lukewarm. And the flavor of the sauce was the overwhelming taste. If you ordered them without the sauce or on the side and they came warm I think these would be much better. My DW chose to order what was the seasonal salad-A Beet and Burrata Salad served with grilled bread. This came served on bibb lettuce with a miso style dressing. Prepared with red and gold beets, it looked gorgeous and the taste was pronounced as "delicious". My choice today was the 3 Piece Cod and Chips. I feel if you like cod and chips this should be your choice as well. Perfectly fried fresh flaky fish with a light tempura batter. I would bet big money this was never frozen fish battered at time of order. It most certainly tasted like it. The fries were hot and fresh. We would come back here every time we visited without reservations. They 100% know what they are doing. Highly recommended. read more

Spectacular view of the rock. We were there in a week day cross were very light when we arrived. The staff was very friendly and conversive. We ordered some oysters a bowl of clam chowder and a Dutchie bowl. The clam chowder was really good but not great. The local oysters were delicious a nice taste of the sea. Nice in size. The bowl was made with ahi tuna and was delicious. The rice was a bit too clumped up though. The fish stole the show. A very nice stop that will be repeated. Bonus for table seating and a nice wait staff. Many other purveyors offered a mere order window and a saturation of fried fish. read more

Culinary creative dishes with a view of Morro Rock. I had dinner here last night and ordered 1) Grassy Bay oysters 2) Clam chowder 3) Beets/Buffalo salad The fresh local oysters from our estuary in Morro Bay were medium-size and served on ice with a red vinegar mignonette with scallions and/or a red cocktail sauce with creamy horseradish. Very nice presentation with sprigs of fresh dill and sliced lemons. These weren't really briny, but has a mild saltiness. The clam chowder was also very good. Creamy white soup served with oyster crackers. I like to add a splash of hot sauce like Tabasco. The highlight for me was the beet and buffalo mozzarella (soft and round) salad which was beautiful. A slight hint of fennel added a nice subtle flavor. The chef has made a nice impression for me. I will definitely come again and try a few of the specials. read more

Omg! You can't go here and not get the sourdough bread bowl of clam chowder!! It was beyond incredible!! I also got a shrimp cocktail that was more than the norm: it not only had cocktail sauce but cucumber. My daughter got the steak and frites (minus the chimichurri sauce). It was cooked perfectly rare to her liking. The service was amazing and very attentive. We watched otters play right next to our table, boats passing by, and the rock. We will definitely be back. read more

Another wonderful meal in Morro Bay. Didn't have a reservation, not sure if they take them. But walking in during the long weekend, it was about a 30/45 minute wait. They took our number down which gave us time to walk around the waterfront and catch the sunset. It was pretty busy but did noticed some empty tables that no one was sitting the whole time for our waiting time. From prior visit, had to get the onion rings again as they were great. As well as the mussels and fries. Entrees, the ciopinno is a much. Plenty of seafood and the broth was delicious. Served with garlic bread for dipping. We also went with halibut special which, wow. Perfect size and served over a bed of grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes. And top with shrimp, capers, tomatoes and a nice garlic sauce. Everything was amazing and very filling. Cocktail was great as well. read more

Came here for the first time with all my employees for dinner. We more or less took over the entire dining area in front of the bar. The bar tender was very nice and attentive. I idmdt catch name but looked Hispanic with guages in his ear. For drinks i ordered a beer and the Passion Fruit Margarita. A beer is a beer but the margarita tasted like flavored water. It was strong at all, not even sure it had liquor in it, there was a lot of ice and it was in a standard glass and not a true margaritas glass. Instead of salt they put sugar around the rim of the glass. Either way it was a wasted $13. Appetizers I had were all good. This included the ahi poke chips, calamari and clam chowder. No complaints at all.on any of these. For my dinner I ordered the steak and lobster tail special. Issue here was the steak was very small, thin, and was well done after I asked for medium rare. But aside from that, it was as bland as can be. I did complain and I received a whole new steak. The New steak was much larger and probably the one given with the normal steak dinner vs the steak and lobster special. But even so, I could see the cook threw a bunch of butter and garlic on it. It still lacked salt and pepper. It was cooked closer to medium rare and was a way better piece but just lacked any flavor. The asparagus that came with my dinner also need to be cooked more, salted and probably coated in either oil or butter. Picture is of the steak and lobster as I received it. read more
