“ As good as it gets... we enjoy coming to Morro Bay and stopping here for a good meal. Friendly service , patient. Nice day outdoors today w not to many people as it's usually packed. Comfy seating w umbrellas and live music, ”
“ highly recommend BBQ oysters. skip the clam chowder, it's not as good as splash cafe. we ordered the fish&chips but just the fish and served grilled but it came out really tough and bland. however, can't beat the views and live music ”
“ Great spot to get some food after walking and enjoying the views! Best part is you can see the Morro Rock right in front of you. We came and ordered at the counter. We got the calamari (delicious but servings were small), clam chowder (tasty), and the grilled oysters (so good). Service was quick! Pay card or cash and they call your name by microphone so it's easy to hear. We enjoyed dining here and taking in the view. They have also have live bands! Lots of free public parking. Restrooms just right outside. Would definitely be back! ”
“ Always a favorite spot. Tried almost everything. The most recent time was fish and shrimp tacos all grilled. So dang good. Service is quick and you can't beat the view. Usually live music too. A ton of condiment options and drinks too ”
“ The service is simple ordering from the fish market. The ambiance is nice for a fish market with outside seating overlooking the docks and live music often being played. The food was excellent with our favorites being the fresh oysters; these were just as good as Grassy Bar Oyster Company. The clam chowder was easily the next best dish with plenty of clams each with tons of flavor and no grit. The rockfish & chips were good but we prefer the crispier beer-battered versions more. The Seadog was interesting but pretty sad over all. ”
“ We came here for an early dinner (a little bit after 5PM), and we found a scene of good music, kids dancing, and a gorgeous view of Morro Bay. Albeit, the live band was loud (definitely passed 70 decibels), but their performance paired well with Friday night. With respect to food, I really enjoyed their clam chowder, but I was a little disappointed with the fried fish (however, it was fresh. See photo below). Nevertheless, I enjoyed eating at Tognazzini's Dockside Too. We went to the location that is outside and adjacent to the water. If you are cold, there is a second location that is indoors (like 15 seconds away by foot). Although there was a long line, we received our foo promptly after placing our order (it took less than 15 minutes despite the number of people that were there). When I pass through Morro Bay, I will definitely come back again! ”
