Restaurants in Half Moon Bay

“Had a great experience at Ciya Mediterranean Cuisine! The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. The service was excellent, and Hikem and Hassan provided great service, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. Parking was easy and convenient during the weekday, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a quick, easy, and enjoyable dining experience. We had a great time and will definitely be back! Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“If you have curious little monkeys at home this is the best place for a Sunday morning brunch.

There are planes landing and taking off and the outside and inside seating is comfortable and has plenty of space. The food is well prepared and has a good variety of favorites. There are also adult drinks if you are looking for a mimosa or a lager while you eat.

We had the waffles a hamburger and drinks for 40 bucks at a great place just a short drive from Mavericks and Princeton pier. This is a bargain.”

“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!”

“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!”

“I was surprised how good the food here is! Not too greasy, and very reasonably priced, they're also open late and jave both indoor and outdoor seating. Service is also very good, I would definitely recommend if you're looking for lunch or a quick late night bite in Half Moon Bay.”

“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!”

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

“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 fantastic hole-in-the-wall gem we stumbled upon! We were unfamiliar with the area, and found this place was open when most other sushi places were closed, so off we went. Did not know this was a tiny 12-seat strip mall sushi restaurant, but man... it did NOT disappoint!

Everything we had from the pork gyoza, tempura, teriyaki chicken, to the sushi (chirashi don) was perfect. A+ on the fish; large cuts of very fresh sushi, and perfect sushi rice. All at amazing prices.

If we ever return to Half Moon Bay, we will definitely be going back. I highly recommend this place.”

“Had the most lovely afternoon tea here!! The sandwiches and pastries are absolutely perfect. Get the french toast scone, it’s to die for!
Beyond the food being so fresh and delicious, it is a wonderful experience to dine here. The owner is so sweet and attentive, and the interior is decorated so beautifully. I highly recommend and will definitely be back.”

“Moonside Bakery in Half Moon Bay was the perfect stop after an early morning flight and picking up our rental car. We wanted something light but satisfying for breakfast, and this was exactly what we needed.

The bakery selections looked wonderful, and the service was prompt and friendly. I had the ham and cheese croissant, and it was flaky, warm, and delicious. A great little breakfast stop if you are passing through Half Moon Bay”

“Stopped by twice in two days because it’s so good! The flavors were delicious! The owner was there both times and explained his process of how he creates everything from scratch. You can really tell he takes pride in what he does. Highly recommend going here.”

“Great beers and cool taproom!”

“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.”

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?”

“We had an incredible Valentine's Day dinner at La Costanera in Half Moon Bay. The fixed menu was thoughtfully curated, and every dish was delicious — the oxtail entrée was absolutely amazing and a standout of the evening. The atmosphere was romantic and elegant, making it the perfect setting for a special night. Our dining consultant, Veronica, truly made the experience exceptional. When we noticed that each table had been given a rose but ours was missing, she kindly explained that the hostess should have provided one and personally went downstairs to get one for us. Her attentiveness, warmth, and professionalism made us feel genuinely cared for. Veronica is easily one of the best servers we've had in a long time. We can't wait to return!”

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.

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 ❤️”
