The Bayside Cafe did not exist until over 20 years after we graduated. A Cal Poly grad opened it in the state park in the mid-1980s and we regularly visit when in the area. An excellent place for lunch or dinner. If you stay in Morro Bay, this is an easy drive for you. Dinner is less crowded than lunch. By the way, clean bathrooms are outside the restaurant in a separate building. Parking is all along the water front...no problem. A very nice and surprisingly varied menu is all yours. Dinner menu has more seafood and upscale dishes than the lunch offerings. Both are great. Wife had the sandwich and their green chili soup 1/2 & 1/2 ($13 + $2.50). Really good and different. They have this chile soup mixed with chowder which is, to me, even more excellent. My lunch was shrimp enchiladas ($23). Service is great. We had Julia and she know everything about the menus, so just ask. A very nice place to visit frequently. Look at my rater profile and you will see that I rarely give 5-star ratings. Bayside Cafe rates it.

My family and I have been coming here annually each summer for the last three decades. I think we…read moreonly missed one year, 2020. This place is consistently our favorite in the area. The clam chowder is something you do not want to miss out on. And the complementary sourdough bread that is included is exquisite. We tend to always be a larger party, somewhere between 8 & 12 attending. This year there was a bit of a snag in that they have few larger tables that can accommodate us, and that was being used when we arrived. The issue was not the fault of the restaurant, just a thing that happened, causing the wait to be significantly longer as those before us were deeply engaged in conversation. The staff made other accommodations for us by creating a large table out of numerous two tops, which we appreciated very much. Our server was Kathy, and she was absolutely delightful; could not have done anything better. She was pleasant, humorous, very accurate and efficient. I let Kathy know it was my brother's birthday and she arranged to have a beautiful chocolate mousse delivered to the table and we sang happy birthday to him, making for an even increased great experience.

After arriving at Morro Bay this last Saturday our first stop was to have brunch at Dorn's located…read moreon the Bluff above the Embarcadero however, after seeing the very large crowd waiting to get in, we decided to return and have an early breakfast on Monday and what a difference that made no waiting And we got seated right away SERVICE: excellent except I had to ask for my orange juice after finishing 3/4 of my breakfast, but it was worth it because the orange juice was cold and freshly squeezed and refreshing! AMBIANCE: the decor was nice. We actually got a table with a view of Morro rock, but it was half covered with fog. There's also outside seating that have space heaters and umbrellas. FOOD: the seafood omelette was topped with one shrimp and filled with 75% mushrooms and bits of crab and a little more shrimp my wife ordered scrambled eggs, but with the option of three pancakes instead of potatoes, however we did notice a textural difference in the eggs. I'm not sure whether they use liquid eggs substitutes because they were a bit runny but we thought they were very thin not thick and fluffy, but they did taste OK the coffee was good. The tea. My wife ordered was just luke warm so she asked for another pot and it was still not hot. NOTE: the Embarcadero and front Street has become extremely overcrowded on the weekends and that stands true with Pismo and Avila and Cayucos. i'm glad we were able to enjoy these places before they got this way.

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!

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.

But assuming you're reading this because you haven't been there before, my rating for recent visits for dinner is a solid three stars. I know it's hard to keep professional servers. But sheesh, my experience with servers there over the last six months has been everything from super-pro friendly to flippant treat-you-like-a-tourist-who's-never-coming-back to practically invisible. You just never know. If Raul is in the kitchen, you're going to have a stellar meal, even with the average quality of the ingredients. The food is overpriced but usually a good portion. There is a happy hour 3:00 - 6:00 Mon - Thurs: $1 off beer, wine, and apps. Some menu items that are my faves include the halibut & chips (can sub salad and/or get halibut grilled), $20; apple balsamic Brussels (recommend the balsamic reduction on the side as that can get heavy-handed), $13; the burgers, $14-$18. The bartending is more consistently good-to-great. The Barefoot on the Green Saturday afternoon concerts are hugely popular. It's a beautiful location to eat outside if it's not too cold and/or windy (which is often - check the Los Osos weather). I'll be back; I always go back.

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.
