Windows On the Water

"Our second visit to Windows and unfortunately, probably our last. We made reservations 1 week prior, and when we arrived, they had us scheduled at another time. While they did seat us promptly, the waiter let us know no pastry chef, no pizza, shrimp cocktail, oysters....all because of the absent pastry chef??? Our drinks( Shirley Temple and Margarita) took 30 minutes, our salad 45. No bread offered. Our entrees arrived an hour after we were seated. My husband said his steak was OK...my burrata was OK as well ( being vegetarian, choices were very limited, see the absent pastry chef note). When the waiter presented our bill, he then apologized "for all the waits". Having been a waitress in a previous life, a periodic update while waiting for our order would have been appreciated. All in all, we will patronize one of the myriad of restaurants on Morro Bay on our next trip. Not the experience we expect for a $150+ dinner. One plus, amazing views of the bay."

"The views of Morro Bay and Morro Rock are awesome. The service left a lot to be desired; it took several times to get our orders correctly. The food was decent although it took quite a bit of time (not because the place was packed, mind you). Our friend's drink was switched with one of the patrons at the table next to ours. Prices are on the higher side for which one would expect outstanding service."

"It is a high-class restaurant. The atmosphere, service, and food were of very high standards. The view from the window was spectacular on the sunset."

"Windows on Water is a charming restaurant with a beautiful view of the bay. The service is good, and the restrooms are clean. However, when it comes to the food, it clearly does not live up to the price. I tried the scallops with mandarin, mushrooms, and fried bacon for the first time. It was certainly inventive, but I prefer my bacon cooked with eggs, and it was overpriced. I also had the halibut, which was overcooked and completely tasteless. The chef didn't use any spices, neither salt nor pepper. For $200 for two people, I expected more. Unfortunately, being a tourist spot, the restaurant doesn't seem to rely on the return of tourists."

"Food was quite good. Fish was a touch overdone but that didn’t stop me from eating all of it haha Our server didn’t know a ton about the wine or the oysters but everything was enjoyable nonetheless! The mousse dessert was a definite highlight and we got the arrogate dessert as well. Delicious meal! Spent $200 on the halibut, 1/2 dozen oysters, pizza, a bottle of wine, dessert and two dessert martinis. We feel it was worth the price for sure! We would return here"
