“best Pizza in SF :)”

“Anchored in the bay, all the way from Puget sound and a dinghy ride in for food. Walked around and quickly realized this was the busiest spot in town. Cold beverages outside made the wait alright. The "award winning" fish and chips were great! Calamari too. Great food, generous portions & good view of our boats. Staff was fun too. Cheers!”

“What a lovely manager Adolfo! Best service in the area by far. Food is delicious: we had lobster paella for main course, shrimps for appetizer and sime drinks - all delicious! What a pleasant surprise was for me when I have received a birthday present - flan on the house 🥰
Thank you guys, you made muly B-day!”

“Great Japanese food and sushi💯🙋🏻‍♀️. The service is excellent. Very kind and friendly.”

“We love Hangetsu for our family sushi dinners! The sushi is excellent, and my kids adore Chef Charles who always whips up something special for them. The ambience is lovely for date nights as well!”

“Exquisite!
I haven't had gelato this good since I was italy. My wife and I tried stracitella, hazelnut, Belgian chocolate and rhum raisin and they were all excellent. From the texture to the depth of flavor you can tell this is quality gelato.
The staff were also a delight. We chatted with the owner Jean Paul and it is evident that a lot of expertise and heart go into the product.”

“My dear gluten free friends, look no where else. This is the treat you seek. I shopped up and down the Main Street in search of fresh baked treats. I recieved my answer here! No less than 7 choices and each was outstanding!!

Gluten free seekers come here!

Oh, and the hot chocolate well worth a return visit!”

“Bring your Hungry!!! Great tasting portions, enough for two, from a delightful many-selections menu. Friendly servers, old school vibe, right down to ''no noise bus tub etiquette''. Busy spot, worth the wait if there's a line. Prices are better than reasonable, especially in todays restaurant market. Don't miss this one... It's a winner!!”

“This is a Coffee House owned and operated by a local resident family. Yes, I’m a past employee from when the Granola’s opened. If you want to buy local or just traveling through HMB this is a great ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ (5 Star) place for a quick snack, meal, read a book or work remotely awhile. I highly recommend the breakfast cookie or a bagel breakfast sandwich! Yes, the pour over coffee is my fav. If you’ve not been here before…. What are you waiting for?”

“This small restaurant in a non-descript strip mall serves some of the best Japanese food in the bay area. I particularly love their nori chips and fresh sashimi. Try out Hayashi - you won’t be disappointed!”

“This took me far too long to write, but I wanted to find the right words to say. My husband and I had been waiting two long years to get married. We postponed twice because of the pandemic and in the course of that time changed our venue to San Benito House. Let me tell you, that was the BEST decision we ever made. Not only is the venue itself incredibly beautiful and the food so delicious, but Kai and his staff bent over backwards for us and all of our guests. Kai is the ultimate hype guy and he took what normally would have been a stressful event to plan, and made it so easy and fun. I would (and will) recommend that anyone who is wanting a Half Moon Bay wedding, that this is the ultimate place to go. Our guests are still talking about the day and if we could, we’d do it 1000 times over just to experience the magic again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! To Kai and the incredible staff, you are truly THE BEST.”

“Ryan is the BEST!! Great Uber fresh food delivered or ready for pick up daily”

“Great beers and cool taproom!”

“I loved this place! My friends and I tried it on a whim and I am so happy we did. The environment is so friendly, the food is delicious, and I would definitely come here again. Support local and support Taqueria La Mordida!”

“Such a gem of a place! Everything here is scrumptious from the ricotta pancakes to the chilaquiles to the French toast to the eggs Benedict! Wish my stomach was bigger so I could eat seconds. Everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. They even welcomed my dog. Love this place!”

“Food is good but the reviews need to be updated so badly. We stopped here thinking it'd be cheap only to find out the only menu photos are from 6 years ago and prices are dramatically raised now. Still got stuff just would've been nice to have been aware ahead of time... One star off for that only otherwise a great place imo”

“We had Arroz de Mariscos, and the Ceviche Trio, and Yucca Frita. It was delicious”

“We tried this restaurant for the 1st time last night. They definitely need another server, but our waitress hustled and was friendly and handle things with amazing speed. Big shout out to her. We tried about 6 different dishes and they came out hot! What an array of flavor and texture and reasonably priced. The singapore noodles were fantastic, the tofu was GREAT and I am not one for tofu. Honey walnut shrimp, green onion pancake and i cant remember the others. Too much to choose from. The atmosphere was so welcoming and friendly a great dinner spot if you are looking. Highly recommend!”

“Enjoyed our time here. We got to taste 4 different wines and enjoyed the conversation and learning about wine makers! Our favourite was Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.”

“It's a quaint little bar attached to the Oceano hotel lobby. Usually run by an employee or two. Not the kinda place you'd bring a crowd, but good for a small group or solo diners. The food is decent, not anything I'd go out the way to have though”

“Great staff, wonderful small wine experience, and pretty solid wine. We’ve been coming here for 9 years with no regrets!”

“Ordered my pizza and everyone was kind and after a horrible experience at the brewery 3 minutes down the road they happily took my money and willing to feed a customer. I adore this and not the experience of the brewery.”

“Solid pies. Among the best in HMB.”

“Mr Nano and beautiful wife and family awesome crew awesome desserts awesome food what more can I say it reminded us of being back home in Hawaii the small shop with big personality and big plates of food just like back home thank you Mr Nano to you and your Ohana for receiving us and for having such a good hospitality keep up the good work and keep up the Beautiful Smiles much blessing to you and yours😊❤️”

“Man!!! I love this place. I’m here on vacation and have walked here twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The people are so nice and welcoming and the service is lightning fast. The food—-wow. So good and fresh. Great salads, sandwiches and the pancakes are excellent. I enjoyed the sausage omelette today. Very good and topped with extra avocado. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Absolutely loved their pizza!!! Best New York style I’ve had in a long time!! Definitely check this place out!!”

“I have been Jonesin for for a lobster roll. I ordered the lobster and cheese sandwich, thinking it would be a grilled cheese with a dash of lobster. Boy, was I wrong! It has a generous helping of lobster, the right amount of cheese and perfect on sourdough! This went well with a black and tan, along with some delicious cheesy tots! This is a really nice, friendly pub and I will be back!!”

“Amazing place, the food Is delicious and excellent service!”

“Great place for fish and chips or a burger!”

“I had one of the best cakes ever at this bakery when we were recently on vacation!!! Delicious! My mouth is watering right now thinking about it. Moist, not too sweet, creamy frosting, OMG!”

“prices are creeping and getting worse”

“These ladies are delightful and pay attention to every detail. They take really good care of their customers. The food is delicious, with the Half Moon Bay crepe being my usual go-to. Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch/lunch! :)”

“Great coffee and atmosphere!”

“Rarely do I give 5 star reviews but the ladies and the coffee are TOPS. The owner got a new (super expensive) espresso machine a year or so ago and you can definitely taste it. Beans were always above average but now you can taste the difference. And the ladies/service there??!!? Maaaan, good people. Tip well, It's worth it. Trust me, I've been in the food service industry for over 23 years. Owner's a good guy too”

“outdoor dining tables love the staff”

“The food was good but the place seemed a little too rundown, could use a little up keep. Also, to have only 2 on the wait staff on a regularly busy Sunday is insane. Although I have to say, the food came out a little faster than I initially expected.”

“If you get a chance, you have to play at Half Moon Bay Golf. Beautiful course and really fun.”

“Amazing experience. We visited Ocean Terrace as part of our annual retreat (small group of friends). Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The ocean views are second to none. Great food and good service. Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy an amazing lunch with family or friends.”

“We had an amazing experience at The Conservatory! Karla, Alejandro, and Adam were incredibly welcoming, kind, and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our family was well taken care of. We brought our grandma with us, and she enjoyed the experience so much, which made the day even more special. Thank you for making our visit so memorable!”
