We went twice in two days...If that doesn't sum up how delicious and fantastic this place is, I don't know what would! We could walk from our hotel so the it was a prime location for us. We sat outside both nights and had little to no wait all (first night it was maybe 10 minutes?). We got multiple dishes both nights, and dessert! We got seafood, pasta, a sandwich! Every single thing we ate was just incredible. The service was also great, attentive, and friendly! Try the molten chocolate cake!

Here's the translation:"I would only come back to eat the clam chowder served in a bread bowl. It's called moonstone chowder. The view is unbeatable, the prices are moderate, the service is very good; I looked it up and it has 5 stars, now I can confirm it. The Cajun shrimp with pesto is delicious, it's an appetizer."I would return only to eat the clam chowder served inside a bread plate. It's called moonstone chowder. Las Vista is unbeatable, the prices are moderate, the service is very good, I looked for it and it has 5 stars, now I was able to prove it. The shrimp with Cajun pesto is delicious, it's an appetizer.

Great place to sit outside and view the Pacific, especially at sunset. Good variety of freshly prepared food. Tacos were great! Also the corn fritters, calamari, fried jalapenos, steamers and clam chowder.
We enjoyed a late lunch at Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill yesterday afternoon.We immediately felt welcome.Service was fast and attentive.Menu options are plentiful and diverse.The wait time for our meals was minimal, and portion sizes were generous.Their fries were especially tasty and crisp. I asked if they'd been cooked in truffle oil, but I was told that they were simply breaded to perfection. Whatever the process, these were the best fries I'd ever had!The ambiance was perfect. The ocean view alone is worth the visit.Our server, Monique was absolutely delightful. She made our experience exceptional, never rushing us, despite the fact that we'd arrived about 30 minutes before closing time.Overall, we enjoyed dining at Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill. We're not locals, but we look forward to returning whenever we're in the area.

Always be suspicious of somewhere that feels a need to print out their positive reviews and post them on the walls.Food was dreadful and the whole place completely lacks charm.

Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Warm and decorated in a comfortable/clean manner. The bar area is nicely sized to hold guests waiting for their tables. Service was friendly albeit on the slow side. (Not terribly so) Food was decent with LOTS to select from. Was surprised that the $18 burger didn't come with fries. So be warned. The seafood pasta was surprisingly tasty. Very flavourful with lots of fresh seafood. At least 8 bites of white fish, a nice handful of octopus rings, handful of bay scallops and baby shrimps, 2 large prawns, 2 razor clams and 6 Manila clams.

As we came in, we found a mini plastic sword on the ground. We sat down and they gave us enough free bread to feed a family of seagulls for 3.5 years. My shirley temple had 2 CHERRIES in it!!! But the forks only had 3 prongs so… My fish and chips came at light speed and had 2 LEMONS!!! So five stars?
This is the best place in Cambria for a view of the ocean , a pleasant outdoor dining area, and good food! To add to our pleasure, they make a wonderful Bloody Mary!!

Food was delicious and had big portions. We had Calamari and it was enough for more than 3 people. Service was quick and the server was friendly. We got seated relatively quickly too, the host told us 45 minutes and we got sat down in 20. Will definitely try again.

Great calamari and salad. Across the street from the water. Friendly staff. Would go there again.

Nice restaurant by the beachside. Gets chilly. Luckily we snagged a parking spot as soon as someone left. You can see cars rolling in looking for a spot every 1 min. The wait was an estimated 45mins. We grabbed a waiting alarm device and waited in the car for exactly 45 mins. They sat us inside in front of the windows as soon as we returned. We could see the waves from inside their large windows. The free bread was also so fresh and soft!!! No hard crust and extremely tender crumbed. I devoured a whole roll when I waiting for the clam chowder. And the clam chowder? So good. I just wished there was a little more clam juice, but you can taste the clams in there. So creamy. Just super small proportion, cup size was size of a tea cup. Man. It left me craving for more. Last but not the least, crab salad sandwich? Amazing. Not even going to complain that it's not full crab. I'm cool with that. As long as it's good. And it was. Soft toasted bread with delicious crab salad mixed with fish. I would totally come back just for a large bowl of clam chowder next time. Talk about being so satisfied and also unsatisfied at the same time. I want more of their clam chowder already.

The taste of food is fine. I ordered the fish of the day, it was good but so expensive, 35 dls, with a really small portion (8 0z I think) and a side or rice!!! I ate my fish but had to order another plate because I was hungry. Had to pay extra charge for changing the side for vegtables. The bill for 2 people was 100 dls without a dessert, with really small portions. The service was super slow and it wasn't to much people. The waitress never came to see if we needed something, at least more warer. We will stay a few days here but we won't come back.
Great food in a beautiful location!
