First time trying Giovanni's. Ordering was quick when I was there, which was actually what made me…read moredecide to eat here. There was also parking right in front, with no line, which was convenient. I wanted something fried, but when I saw that they use canola oil, I decided to go with the salmon tacos instead. Salmon isn't exactly a local fish, but it's usually a safe bet, especially when it's fresh frozen. I got the salmon tacos, which came as two tacos on two tortillas. The salmon was topped with a little cabbage and tomato, melted cheese, and what seemed to be some onion and cilantro. They also included a small serving of salsa. Overall, they were decent, but not the best salmon tacos I've had. One thing that was a little annoying was that some of the salmon had the dark "bloodline" still attached. I usually scrape that off because I find that part of the fish more bitter and strongly flavored. That's especially awkward with tacos because you're trying to remove it from pieces of fish that are already in the taco. I've had salmon tacos elsewhere where that part had been trimmed off, so there was nothing to deal with. No bones, though. The tacos were a little pricey at just over $20 with tax, but you're in a tourist area and it's California, so that wasn't exactly surprising. They made for a decent meal, and sitting outside was pleasant.

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!

Poke Nachos: The tuna itself was delicious and noticeably fresh, but the dish as a whole was a bit too greasy for my liking.

It comes with two pieces of Texas toast. Nicely toasted with a buttery crunch on the outside, yet fluffy anf soft on the inside. Perfect for dipping. Now, about the chowder... The LOADED seafood chowder wasn't really good, it was DELICIOUS!! Our server said it's actually award winning! We will definitely return for their chowder. So flavorful and creamy! Perfect! Our server, Kaitlyn, she was super sweet and also the best. Very thoughtful in thinking of everything. Thank you, Kaitlyn! Morro Grill's reviews looked pretty good so we're looking forward to returning to try their other menu items. Especially their homemade carrot cake that Kaitlin recommended but we were too full.

All this while we enjoyed two very cold beers - Michelob ultra for the babe and a Big Sur Double IPA on tap at 9.6 ABV for me. All this, paired with the wings, which were outstanding BTW, and it made for a great stop. Other things to know. -Order of 12 wings can be split into two flavors (choice of buffalo, bbq, or mild). We went with buffalo and bbq extra crispy. -The buffalo have an added pepper seasoning that we loved -Bathrooms are downstairs (there's also an elevator) -2 of the 3 TV's at the bar were not working (biggest critique) -There is outside seating with view of the rock and a beautiful sunset if you time it right (we did, but it was a bit hazy due to the fog or overcast or whatever you call it) -Also, we didn't try any other food so we can't vouch for much else but everything people had looked good and we didn't hear any complaints.

One of the reasons I liked to go to Tognazzini's is because it's dog-friendly. The last time I was there, sadly, the owner's dogs (he has 5) were not on leash and one of them charged me & my dog. His dog was growling and bearing his teeth. His dog scarred me and I don't scare easily. I told the guy behind the counter what had happened and he went to get the owner. When the owner showed up, he told me, "my dog will charge and growl, but he's a lab, labs don't bite". So, the owner of Tognazzini's knowingly lets his dog terrorize his customers. Instead of apologizing he made excuses for his dog's bad behavior. I'm angry enough to not go back. A simple apology would've been nice. If he knows his dog has aggressive and protective tendencies, then why in GOD's name does he let his dog roam? His dog is a lawsuit waiting to happen. You know, if his dog charges you and you 'fall' over a table or a chair while trying to get away, you get $$$$$. The dog doesn't have to bite you... Just sayin' read more

Ate lunch today. We decided to compare the Cod taco with the Halibut taco. Both were delicious but thought the $2.50 cod was just as good at the $4.50 halibut. The iced tea was perfect, fresh, crushed ice and great for the sunny day we had. You can sit outside and watch the boats. I highly recommend this place. It was lunch and they had a guitar player signing nice songs. We also ordered the Jalapeno poppers and they were the cheddar cheese type. yum. The only request would be to change it to a non-smoking patio. A guy was smoking a cigar cigarette and it kind of ruined the ambiance. It was packed and I know why now, very good place to eat and enjoy the city. You can see Morro Rock, the closest restaurant view in the city. All visitors would love this place if they want casual. They allow dogs, even better. The benches have restaurant provided leashes. It was a great experience, can't wait to go back. read more

Hey Listen Up !! No I', not trying to be bossy. I just want you to know about this place. First of all, it is always great to see a family operated business that is doing so well Want to know where the fish was caught that is being presented. Want to have a chance to see the Captain of the boat that brought the fish in ? These are the types of things you may see when visiting the restaurant. THE FOOD IS GREAT ! You can get your fresh fish prepared any way you like. The specials are really SPECIALS. My wife and I make this a regular spot. We love taking out of town guests here for dinner or lunch. Guaranteed happiness. What ever you do, ask if halibut cheeks are available. If they are call me, I'll be right over. Cheers read more

Just like "old school" Morro Bay fish and chips. Like all the Morro Bay seafood restaurants used to make when I was a kid. Fresh fish, very lightly breaded, fried to perfection. If you like your fish and chips to be about the fish, not the batter, come to Tognazzini's because they do it the way fish and chips should be done! Cold on a cold foggy day, so bring your windbreaker. Wonderful on a sunny day. ;-) read more

Everything came out all at once- and no one ever came to check on us. The fish and chips were good, my ahi was nice- but the potatoes were cold and it was covered in seaweed salad I had to pick off. Later I was trying to remember why I ordered the ahi over the halibut or the mahi mahi- looking at the menu it says the ahi has blue crab wasabi mashed potatoes- so that's why I ordered it. I had shared my meal with my hubby and so I asked him if he noticed/tasted any crab on the potatoes. Neither of us did- thinking they left it out. The calamari should have been the appetizer- but everything came all at once- I would rather have skipped them at that point. Hubby had to go up to the bar to get refills- he was gone a long time. When he came back he told me that they had him leave a credit card with them when he placed the order. We weren't drinking alcohol, so this didn't seem necessary. Had I known this, I would have suggested not even staying and finding a different restaurant. Well the bartender said he lost our credit card/ but would try to find it.... um, what!!!!

The short of it: Food: 7/10…read moreService: 6/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 I went to harbor hut with a group of 9 and they were able to seat us almost immediately. First thing I noticed was that it was quite warm inside for most of the time we were there. The restaurant was very pretty though. The bread they started us with was quite good. Once we placed our orders it took them 40ish minutes to bring the food. The waitress provided refills on drinks to most of the table, but not me for some reason (little did she know I was the one writing the yelp review! lol) My partner got the clam chowder and said it was just "okay." She said it was a personal preference thing though because she just doesn't like thick chowder. One other in my party did like the chowder. I got the regular fish and chips and they were quite good. Nice steak fries with it. Unfortunately they only initially provide you with one little cup of ketchup. This came with a side of pineapple coleslaw, which I was really excited about. It was a let down. The pineapple was flavorless and so the slaw just tasted like regular coleslaw, which was fine I guess. The serving sizes of all of the meals our party got were quite large, which is good because of how expensive things were. Overall it was a decent experience, but I don't see myself going back when there are so many other good places nearby.
