I’ll be dreaming about this meal for weeks.
We just had dinner at your restaurant.
We were greeted right away and were seated. I always have your Bay Shrimp Cocktail and it is a 10 out of 10. I also had your Steamer Claims. 6 of the Shells were empty and I also chewed down on slivers of tiny pieces of Shell. Check the Shells before serving is my only recommendation. Danielle was our waitress, she was very efficient and friendly. We always enjoy dining at your restaurant.
It was a great place for family gatherings, but unfortunately, 2 out of 8 got belly sick from fry fish order. We believe it was the oil they've not changed: (
The service was wonderful, and so was the atmosphere.
A Hidden Gem!
I was absolutely smitten with the creamy Alfredo pasta—sumptuously rich, silky, and comfort-food perfection in every forkful. And the Parrot Bay Punch? A vibrant, tropical delight—bursting with fresh fruit flavours and the perfect lounge-by-the-beach vibe in a glass.
What really stood out to me was the service—the staff was friendly, quick, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They had great energy that matched the lively atmosphere, and they struck the perfect balance: always around when we needed something, but never overbearing. It made the whole happy hour experience feel easy and enjoyable.
Great flavor, however overcooked as if speed was more important than quality. Will try again, hoping for better results.
Great food, and large portions. We couldn't stop in Pismo because there was no place to park, and we were hungry. This was our last chance stop for good seafood, and it was great as always.
Had the grilled fish with veggies. Flavor was good.

I had a quick business lunch recently . The crispy chicken sandwich was perfect with the fries and their home made ranch. The bun was freshly buttered and toasted. The chicken was white meat and perfectly seasoned and fried . The bread and butter pickles were excellent and the ranch was homemade . I was able to have a classic makers Manhattan alongside my sandwich for a 5 star lunch and cocktail without the 5 star prices. The wait staff was attentive . This will be my go to lunch spot from now on.

Ah-mazing!! Our server Stephanie was THE best! The homemade creamy chicken Ortega starter soup was delicious and perfect for the Central Coast's cooler climate. We ordered the fish tacos and they did not disappoint. You've gained a new customer!!! Thank you.

I ordered my fish and fries "extra crispy" and was it worth it: just great. My daughter had clam chowder in a bread bowl and my son, who doesn't like fish, had the Western Bacon Cheeseburger. They said good things.
This may not be a hole in the wall right on the beach, but don't let that bother you. Quarterdeck has great food and a full bar. Who needs more????

Food is 4 stars not bad but not amazing,
Service was amazing I give it 5 stars, our waitress Stephanie was unbelievably good. Very nice and attentive. We had a large group and Stephanie did very well. Onion rings, fried zucchini, salmon, fish n chips and seafood Alfredo pasta were good.
