This was by far the best meal of a weekend birthday get away in Cambria and Morro Bay. The food was excellent, wine list and full bar were well stocked, and the restaurant itself seemed to have had the best location of any of the restaurants I saw during my stay in Morro Bay. more

I took my husband to Windows for our anniversary and was amazed by the view (sunset was beautiful). From the moment we were seated, our server was very attentive to all of our needs. The filet was cooked perfectly and my husband was especially pleased with his fish dish. I was so impressed that I suggested to my girlfriends that... more

If you're in Morro Bay, do yourself a favor and eat at this restaurant. My wife and I took a weekend get away up the coast and stayed in Morro Bay. We asked the Hotel Manager for a nice place to have dinner that offered a view of the bay. Now I normally don't write too many reviews, but this... more

I had the opportunity to visit Windows on the Water in March of 2009. The service was excellent. The drinks were good and strong. The pizza I had was delicious. A great place to stop in on after work for a cocktail with friends and enjoy the sunset! more

I'm a local and have eaten at Windows several times. It is a beautiful restaurant overlooking the bay, and the food is fabulous. We had to wait a little between courses, but I much prefer this than having my main course arrive when I'm only half way through with my first course. I didn't feel that I was being pushed... more

We live in Fresno. We reserved a table for 3 on Valentine's day. We emailed the restaurant for the menu and they gave us a Fixed price dinner rate of $45 per person. My friend then called them to see if we could also order off the menu that night as it was a special day and we wanted to... more

This was the best dining experience we have had since moving to the area two years ago. The service was impeccable; our waitress Donna was expertly trained and very polite and friendly. No overly perky college students with bad manners here. The food was fantastic. We sampled three appetizers, split a salad and an entree. Desserts were complimentary as we... more

My family has been coming to Windows on the Water since it first opened, and have enjoyed many great meals along with perfect service. Earlier this month, I made reservations for our party of seven, two weeks in advance, for Jan. 17th. The occasion was a milestone birthday, and I was looking forward to the evening. We were all, however,... more

I will not go back. We went for the set-price, Thanksgiving, 3-course meal and while we did get a window on the water, I still do not plan to return. From the moment we walked in the door, every part of our service was messed up. We arrived in time for our reservation, but they didn't have the window table... more

We went to windows on the water and it was a lovely place..BUT the service was terrible. Our waitress did not come by once to asks us if our meal was satisfactory. She asked my wife if she would like crushed pepper, but forgot to bring it and had to be reminded, same thing happened with my martini and the... more
