This review is for dinner at the “restaurant”. Have been to Morro Bay several time and noticed that this place is always busy. So decided to stop on in. This was during the dinner rush on a Sunday. So we expected to have a wait. Pleasantly surprised that the wait wasn’t anymore than 15 min. I ordered the “Captain’s Combo Platter & Chips (fried)”. You’ve been warned, as it states in the menu, it is all fried. But I’ve been good all weekend and need my fix. This is a good portion of food, so much I didn’t even touch the French Fries. I would recommend ordering a side salad and taking half of the dish home. Good value for the cost. Good attentive and friendly service. Plenty of free parking and clean restrooms. Others in our party felt the value wasn’t as good with their meals compared to oth

Got to visit their dockside too and was great and that landed us to their restuarant today. Great customer service, loved the ambience and they served most dishes from the too and more. Pet friendly. Clam chowder was the best. We ordered clam chowder, scalloped potatoes, captain platter and seafood pasta. Everything was fresh, seafood pasta was ok.

Our Server was awesome! The food was amazing, highly recommend the shrimp fettuccine alfredo! The portions are awesome! The postcard idea for marketing is genius! The service was fast! We highly recommend this establishment if you are in Morro Bay!

Tognazzini’s Dockside is basically two restaurants in a trench coat. You’ve got the chill dock outside with music and drinks, and the proper inside spot for dinner. Start on the dock for a beer or wine. If the mood hits, stay put and order salmon tacos. If the fog rolls in like a stealthy sea blanket, retreat inside and feel smart about it. On clear days you get the full Morro Rock poster: boats posing, seagulls acting like unpaid security, a few humans wandering through the shot. On foggy days you get a sweatshirt, your breath, and the intimate thrill of guessing where the ocean went. Bring friends or family and the whole thing turns into a seaside sitcom. Staff is very accommodating. The food costs real money and tastes fine. Not bad. Not a life event. Verdict: go for the dock vibes, m

Very likely the best seafood in town. There are two places here, the restaurant inside, and then outside on the dock. Very often we sit outside on the dock have a drink and listen to music and then go inside for dinner. But sometimes we just stay on the dock and have salmon tacos with our beer and wine. Usually a great view of the rock and seagulls and the dock and boats… And people a few… But when it’s foggy, there’s not much of a view and you just kind of huddled up inside your sweatshirt. If you’ve got some good friends or family with you though it’s really terrific.
