Amazing atmosphere and even better food. The windows overlooking the boats on the harbor with great views of the rock. The chef is excellent, we had crab cakes and the bruchetta for starters and both were must haves. The chowder had great flavor and the filet mignon was excellent. Overall a great place for dinner and we will definitely be back.

Was a guest at a wedding reception. The bread and olive oil was decent, but the rest of the food was pretty substandard. The clam chowder was so runny and didn't really taste all that great. Plus the 3 pieces of clam in the bowl didn't get me excited much. My Rib-Eye steak was almost rare, so I waited about 15 minutes. When no server came back to our table, I went and asked someone to have it cooked more and when no one ever showed up to do that, I just stopped eating it. So I rated it 2 stars based on the poor service and the food that wasn't good at all. Sadly the best food of the night was the bread, candy bar, and the wedding cake. The restaurant itself was decent and clean, but that's about it. Will never recommend this restaurant or return to it. Not when the Dockside is right down the street.

A great evening tonight at Windows on the Water. We had a family group and yet they got us in right away. The atmosphere is wonderful. The service was excellent, and they even handled the kids so well. The food was very good. We will go again soon. Thanks for making our little event special. They made us feel so welcome.

his is THE restaurant to go to if you are looking for a fine dining experience with a view! The restaurant is the embodiment of refinement through simplicity. I love that the decor is so understated here because with almost every seat in the house having some view the windows overlooking the harbor and Morro Rock, you are not going to be looking around inside! The service here is also impeccable! We had reservations and were promptly seated when we arrived. Our drink orders were immediately taken and I liked that they explicitly ask if you want water due to the drought. Their water is fantastic btw, as it has cucumbers in it, giving simple house water a nice little refreshment. The food here is outstanding and the prices definitely reflect the quality. We had the abalone as an appetizer and it was fantastic! I paired this with a half glass of their Moscato D'Asti. I had the rare Fijian Ahi for my entree and it was beyond words! The wasabi glaze and sides it came with were just exquisite! I paired this with a half glass of their Gewurtztraminer. Our waitress was just delightful and she did us a solid as there were four of us collectively celebrating our birthdays in Jan, Feb, and March, so she gave us complimentary bday desserts, which were just outta this world! The lemon mousse was a revelation to my tastebuds! I paired this with a syrah port that was amazing! I absolutely loved that they offered half glasses of some of their wines as this really allows you to experience some extraordinary wines without overwhelming your palate or your wallet. They have an in-house Somm who used to own the local wineshop and he has put together an impressive wine list and offerings on their prix fixe menu. Just an all-around magnificent dining experience well worth the $$$!

My wife and I have eaten at Windows on the Water many times. We feel it is one of the very best restaurants in Morro Bay and in fact the entire San Luis Obispo county. The food is fantastic (never had anything other than a great meal), the service is amazing every time we go there. The atmosphere is great - incredible sunsets over Morro Bay. Their ability to consistently provide an exceptional experience is a very special thing. If you haven't tried Windows on the Water, do yourself a favor and check it out (if you've been there, you understand what I am saying).
