Duarte's Tavern

"Not what it used to be! The Snapper & Chips was a big disappointment, tasteless and dry (no tartar sauce, no coleslaw) and small portion for the price. The seafood chowder was different from what I expected but good, but also tiny portion. For $52 absolutely not worth it. Fish & Chips is better at most other restaurants in this area which surprised me. I really want to like this place, but this is the second time I've been disappointed. It seems like they're just living off their history and name."

"Our friend brought us here and she raved about the ollieberry pie. It certainly did not disappoint. I’m still not sure if there’s actually an ollieberry but it was so tasty. I had the clam linguini and the clams were huge! Carl had the onion rings and they were a bit greasy. My sister and her friend shared the French dip and artichoke soup which was interesting. I really enjoy supporting local business and this mom and pop restaurant was wonderful. Definitely make sure you stop by if you’re near Half Moon Bay."

"This historic building and the restaurant has been owned by the same family since the 1860s. They have their own vegetable garden so their veggies are very fresh. The interior is dark and certainly has a historic vibe. Thankfully the bathrooms are modern and clean. There is a small eat in restaurant and the bar also has a few tables. I sat at the bar and had a mojito that was delicious. I had the Crab Sandwich which came with fries, both very good. I was momentarily put off when I saw the white bread the crab came on, however it tasted fine. Excellent fries! Nice and crispy and not oily. Took the Asparagus soup to go and it was delicious! Service was friendly and prompt without being overbearing. Will definitely return."

"Artichaut soup is the BEST I have ever had! Try half artichaut half green chili for a soft kick. The french dip melt was out of this world. Our gooey goodness"
