“What a fabulous evening, we all unanimously agreed that Pasta Moon is our new go to dinner spot when we are in Half Moon Bay. The food, service and ambiance were perfect and the Roasted Chiogga and Golden Beet Salad was amazing.”

“Best Himalayan cuisine ever! Never a bad meal! Fresh and made to order! One of my favorites!!! I ordered Lamb combination meal with a side of Tandoori Roti!”

“This place was really good and receives a solid 5 Star review. With that being said you must realize you are in a dinner at a small airport. The menu has more on it than I expected. The place was fairly busy and very steady with customers. The facility was neat, clean and well maintained. The full kitchen is within full view and was clean. The food was pretty good. The restroom was clean. The staff was attentive and pleasant. The food was pretty good and the prices were not inflated like in Half Moon Bay.
A pleasant experience and I would gladly return again and again.”

“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!”

“Went her early in the morning looking for a quality asada burrito and was so impressed. Perfect execution, price and portion size! My dad got a huevos rancheros and loved it as well”

“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!”

“like being in Italy. Fabulous food, excellent service. The atmosphere is so Italian you'll think that you are in Italia. Bravo.”

“We sat outside, it was perfect-heaters. Out waitress was great, very knowledgeable., explained dishes and what were traditional. We will will be back and are telling friends about it. Spoke with manager on way out and told him how we enjoyed the restaurant. We made reservations very easy and perfect table outside with ocean view.”

“Great beers and cool taproom!”

“What a BEAUTIFUL place. The owner is so friendly and you can see she really takes pride in her place. Ambiance is so cute and chic and so accommodating to our little girls. The tea party towers were so well put together and the food was actually delicious. Tbh we have spent upwards of 500+$ to go have tea at places like the fairmont in the city, and id still pick this place over that.”

“I am sure to stop by moonside everytime I am in half moon bay. If you’re there before 3pm the wood fired pizzas are a must get! Aside from that the meringues and other baked goods are fantastic.”

“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!”

“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”

“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 coffee Killer location. Nice people”

“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!”

“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.”

“Always a great burger after a day at the beach.”

“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?”

“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”

“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!”

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!”

“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!!”

“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! :)”

“outdoor dining tables love the staff”

“Great coffee and atmosphere!”

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

“I was traveling through California and was pleasantly surprised at the baked goods I purchased here. I got a cheese Focaccia, a jumbo chocolate chip cookie, and a ginger pumpkin cream cheese cookie. Everything was fantastic and the lady running the store was a sweetheart. I also tried my friend's cannoli and it was one of the best cannolis I have ever had, and I adored the unique lighter filling ❤️”

“The prawns are incredibly large and light, almost like popcorn — very fun to eat. Fries are crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. Best prawns and chips I’ve ever had. When ordering ahead by phone, the staff are always so pleasant, helpful, and patient.”

“We chose sushi takeout and it was awesome. Two rolls, nigiri chef choice plate, yaki tori, and simple noodles. Lots of fish; these are good portions. Had the nigiri for lunch the next day. Not sure why some low reviews. My experience was great!”

“I was visiting Halfmoon bay for work… just stumbled into this place… what a great location! I went on a weekday breakfast time so not much wait but got a great table with fascinating views. More than that the service given by my table waitress Maria was top notch. She made my day with her outstanding level of service! Quality of food is amazing and combined with the pristine ocean 🌊 view makes the time fly in seconds! I was there for almost 3 hours enjoying my morning breakfast. If you are visiting Halfmoon bay you should not miss this spot. The only negative I would say here is the cost of parking - they make Valet mandatory and it’s $35! It hurts.”

“Incredible experience; reservation for two, valet parking, attentive staff, and the grounds are beautiful. We had the Seafood Tower, which was good, but the New England Clam Chowder changed our lives. Pro tip: ask for an extra bread roll, the bread is amazing. We also had their zero-proof Manzana Muels, two each, they were so good. Every aspect of the meal felt thoughtful and carefully curated; cheers to the chef. And the bathrooms were first class.”
