"We saw the sign out on the highway and were thrilled to find a hidden distillery! Ooops, it's not actually a distillery! It was time for lunch and a break from the road so it was well worth the stop even without the craft spirits!! The view is spectacular and the history is a fun addition to our travels. It was raining so no outside seating, we enjoyed everything from the dry warmth inside. The staff was very subdued, not really friendly, just going through the motions and providing basic service. The chowder tasted like a cream of something soup with clams in it so I wasn't impressed! However, the grilled fish tacos were wonderful with plenty of fish and a super tasty and spicy sauce that was amazing! The soft corn tortillas mad them perfect! Hubby's burger was just okay, some seasoning definitely would have helped and the bacon needed to be cooked a bit longer. All in all, a nice experience and would return those those views any time!"

"I’ve been here several times in the past and I have to say that my experience was better then. My rating is for my recent visit which I’m hoping is not the new normal.

The outdoor patio area has lost its charm and I’m not sure exactly why, but here are a few of my observations. There was one waiter for the entire outside patio area. Although he was efficient there were just too many table to serve in order to deliver good service to everyone. We waited quite a while before we got our drinks. When it was time to order, I asked what he recommended. Instead of reviewing specials and/or popular dishes, he told me that everything is good and he can’t give me a recommendation. This led to me asking questions about an array of dishes and all of a sudden ( I think out of frustration) he recommended a dish for me. He wasn’t rude at all, just over tasked. When the food arrived, my dish was lukewarm. It definitely waited somewhere and got too cold before making it to the table.

I would return as I think it must have been an off night. I definitely would not sit outside though if the staffing stays the same for the patio area."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4-Star Review

I came to Moss Beach Distillery today and really enjoyed the experience. The ocean views and relaxed outdoor patio made it a great place to sit back and take in the coast. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was casual but welcoming.

The food was good overall. The clam steamers were fresh and flavorful, paired nicely with the pesto garlic bread. The burger and fries hit the spot—juicy, well-seasoned, and generous in size. The kids’ nuggets and fries were simple but perfect for little ones.

Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that’s expected for the location and view. Between the scenery, service, and quality of the meal, it was a very enjoyable visit. I’d definitely come back, especially for a relaxed lunch or sunset dinner."
