15 Best American Restaurants in Half Moon Bay

“Muy deliciosa toda la comida muy lindo espacio y el chef muy amable puro sabor Micheline!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Navio. It was a memorable weekend with some of the best food I've had in a long time. I apologize for the delay in sharing my review as I initially lost, but later found the pictures from my visit.

The service and beverages were exceptional. My only suggestion is that they should offer more French wine options, but it's not so much a complaint as it is a request.

The food was part of a visiting Chef series, and during my visit, it was the 2023 Global Cuisine Series featuring Chef Miguel Navarro. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and look forward to returning to the restaurant in the future for more outstanding cuisine.“

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

“This exquisite restaurant located on the beach. It's been here for over 100 years and when you visit it, you'll know why it's exquisite food is gray. No bad things about it except it's crowded. You might want reservations.“

“I recently visited Johnny’s for breakfast, and it was fantastic! The crème brûlée French toast was a delightful treat, and the Sisters Omelette was equally delicious. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, going out of their way to accommodate us by allowing a call-in order since we were about to miss the 12 PM last call for breakfast. Their willingness to help made our experience even better. I would highly recommend Johnny’s to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot!“

“Taking a drive down the coast and want a place to stop in quick for a bite to eat? This is a great place to stop. Close to main st in HMB but off the beaten path. Good cheesesteak sandwiches or even their cheeseburger hits the spot. Awesome bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers and don't forget the sweet potato fries!!! On a trip with the kids-no problem - they have a kids menu!!“

“An intimate place to love ❤️ live music.“

“As a vegetarian choosing a dinner meal I opted for the Roasted carrots salad and quinoa pilaf. Looks were deceiving because they didn’t seem like much, other than just some carrots with fresh greens and quinoa and mushrooms with grated parmesan on top. However, I was pleasantly surprised that both dishes were more than ordinary; very fresh and delicious. I’m also glad that I made the last minute decision to order the salad as well for some extra greens to accompany my dinner. Sometimes it’s challenging as a vegetarian eating out, but these were a great pair for a well rounded meal with whole fresh ingredients.

Also to note; the quinoa pilaf description said it had pine nuts and pesto. This dish was very heavy on the mushrooms and I did not taste any pesto nor come across any pine nuts. It was delicious though and I felt better about it not having pesto, as pesto has a very high fat content.“

“I was there with my daughter and we both have great appetite. plates have plenty of food and it was delicious so much that my daughter bought extra hot sauce she really enjoyed it well so do I. highly recommended and I will visit you guys again whenever I go back to California.“

“Dinner was delicious Went to table of 10 Met some new people“

“The old Ketch Joanne's is now Ketch Harbour. My husband and I went for our 35th Anniversary. We had the best meal and best time. Food was excellent . So tasty. The restaurant has new interior that fits with the area. The restaurant is very clean. With a view of the docs it's an excellent spot and not as expensive as every place around there. So nice to jave this restaurant back.“

“We went early & were in our favorite seating area for lunch. Ordered shrimp tacos & calamari. Calamari was crispy, lightly battered & not greasy. Great tartar & cocktail sauce. The shrimp tacos came fully dressed with a wonderful ranch sauce- Guacamole, beans & salsa on the side were home made & delicious. Portions are always very generous.
Great service all around. Erik (with a “k”) took excellent care of us & accommodated all our little quirks with a smile.
May your experience here be as great as ours!

“I had an excellent experience at this restaurant, with outstanding service and delicious food. The highlight was definitely the Wagyu burger—it was simply amazing! The flavors were incredible and it’s a must-try for anyone visiting.

The staff were very friendly and courteous, making us feel welcome throughout our meal. Plus, the location is fantastic, situated right next to a beautiful golf course and water, adding to the overall charm of the place. I highly recommend this spot for a wonderful dining experience!“

“First time visiting the place ordered the Friday night special, ribeye steak, three appetizers. Not crowed at all. Relax with the live music. After the dinner walked around the golf course enjoy the sunset.

Parking: Space maybe limited since it is on a golf course.“
