10. The Great American Fish Company

This is a great place for dinner in the most enjoyably beachy, laid back of waterfronts, the Embarcadero on Morro Bay. Owned and operated by the Leage Family, The Great American Fish Company (GAFCo) restaurant is old school all the way and known for having one of the largest selections of fresh seafood around (and fluffiest baked potatoes!). Tried their red cabbage slaw but it doesn't compare to the Northwoods Inn's. Make sure you reserve a table by a window so you can see their reef tank (actually they have two), gaze at world famous Morro Rock and watch the sea lions and otters play!

This is an upscale place on the water with a very pleasant atmosphere. Prices are on the lower end of fine dining. Service is quick and personal. Our group had about 5 different seafood dishes and all were excellent. The clam chowder was actually a little too thick for what I prefer. The oysters were worth ordering. Overall a very nice evening. Drinks were reasonably priced.

We went to Hungry Fisherman yesterday. Our waiter was Brian who was just terrific. When I said I would like Honey Mustard for my Cobb Salad, he said they did not carry that dressing but he would make it. We are on a special diet with no gluten or carbs. We ordered two salads and a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich on lettuce to share. I had the Cobb salad which was amazing. Brian was attentive filling water all the time.We went back again today. Both my wife and I ordered the Cobb salad which had great ingredients--good salad, olives, cheese, chicken, bacon, and so much more. And once again Brian made honey mustard dressing. Once again service was very attentive. Quality over the top. Having been there the day before we knew the Cobb salad would be a complete meal with no need to order more meat.

First day on our Hwy 1 Big Sur trip and we stopped in Morro Bay. The Dutchman's Seafood House caught our eye. Was not busy and we got a got a great table inside. Our server Ellie was great. Shared a clam chowder, had prawn and chips, and I had Tuna Melt w Onion Rings. The Tuna was a warm tuna patty, but good.Thanks for the wonderful review, Vic P!We're thrilled your time with us was so fantastic! We strive to offer top-notch service alongside our mouthwatering dishes and your praise lets us know we're doing our job. That's what we like to see!

Stopped in for dinner and were rewarded with nice harbor views, friendly service and a respite from the more touristy places facing the street. My wife had the lobster bisque and a seafood salad and enjoyed both. I ordered the linguini with a pound of clams and was in heaven. Clams and pasta were perfect and the broth was the best Iâve enjoyed in a long time. We liked it so well we returned for breakfast and had another outstanding meal. The Country Benedict was inspired - biscuits and gravy with a large sausage patty and poached egg inserted. I may stop making hollandaise and shift to this.We had a great time and will return.Thank you for sharing your glowing review. It is great to hear that you enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. It is helpful to know what our guests enjoy and to know you found a little bit of heaven! Say hello the next time you come in.Denise

Reviewed By LChapie
We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed... until now. Starting off, we had the chowder and it was delicious. Then, out came the fish. We had the fish and chips. The fish was sold as cod, but they were very small fillets quite unlike cod, and they had absolutely no flavor. We also had the scallops. They were a pre prepared, probably frozen, tiny pieces of flavorless scallop meat, coated in very thick doughy crust. I think we might try another option for seafood, next time in town. I would like to think it was only a fluke, but, I donât think so.We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your last meal here! If at anytime during your meal you are unsatisfied, we would be happy to remake our order or make something else! We have not changed our recipes in 30 years so we hope you will give us another try!

My wife and I had a Saturday brunch. The food was good to very good. Tasty. Not much on presentation. Service was mediocre and staff not very caring. Server poured coffee too fast and spilled onto table but said nothing and walked away. The view and location is excellent so we looked past the service. We recommend for breakfast.

Windows on the Water has incredible views of the marina and the rock and the sunset. We went for our anniversary dinner while in town. We notified the owners beforehand and asked for a table with a great view which we got. Unfortunately the service and food did not live up to the view. The food was average but for the price the quality should have been much better. We paid $18 for duck bruschetta which included on piece of bruschetta. We both had the fresh local halibut which was over cooked. The service was awful. Our waiter never once refilled our water glasses or asked if we wanted a second drink. It took literally 30 minutes to get the 1 piece of bruschetta. My advice is to go for the view but order drinks. Dear SarabooI want to sincerely apologize for the unpleasant incident you had at our restaurant. Without your feedback I might never have known of it.It is our highest priority to provide our guests with an exceptional dining experience and in this instance we certainly failed to do this. What you experienced is totally unacceptable.While I cannot change the past, I would like to invite you back as my personal guest so that we can show you that we really can do a much better job than what you experienced.

Came here with family to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Everyone ordered different seafood dishes and we shared appetizers and a bottle of wine. Considering the restaurant is right on the bay and serves fresh catches, plates start at $30!!!! A little pricey although it was very good!
