   Very nice place with a wonderful view. Price Vs Quality a bit too high. We’ve been a bit disappointed about the rock crab…under the expectation but this is a personal opinion.

   Nice, clean restaurant on great location (Stearn’s Pier). Waitress service was great. Food only average. Limited menu, Halibut was over cooked and dry. Side dishes not at all impressive (mashed potatoes and vegetables). Needs to improve dish arrangement and quality to match price. Understand s/p Pandemic & shortages but chef needs to pick up his part.

   We went for brunch; unfortunately brunch ended at 11 (a tad early for my taste), so we made do with the lunch menu. Think diner-type food, but seafood-themed. The coffee was good, the Bloody Mary was fantastic and the service was excellent. I also really enjoyed the ambiance and our window side location that allowed us a wide view of the harbor and the beach.

   Food at Moby Dick's has improved over the years. I had the shrimp Louie salad, which was very good. my guests had fish tacos and mussels, and they both enjoyed their dishes. we had a nice table with a view of pelicans all over t he harbor, not to mention foolish boats going out in very strong winds. what's not to like? a good experience

   No bread was brought to the table. My son ordered the seafood tacos. He asked if it would be enough because he was very hungry. Was told yes. He also ordered a cup of clam chowder. Needless to say, two tacos and some rice was not enough food for my son. I ordered a Luke Salad. It was good but also smallish. My rum cocktail was good & the clam chowder didn’t have a lot of potatoes which was good. Wouldn’t hurry back.

   My spouse, myself & our 4 year old dined here. All food overcooked, had to be sent back, the fried seafood platter for 2 was overpriced & hardly any fish or shrimp at all-2 pieces of calamari, shrimp, etc-terribly small!! Will never go here again!!

    The restaurant is located i the pier. You can park on the pier no charge for 90 minutes. We requested a ocean view seat and sat down right away. The waiter was prompt and our food came out right away. Recommend the fresh catch of the day and the seafood tacos.

    Upon our arrival, the host was going to sit us in a tucked away spot where we were unable to enjoy the spectacular view of the ocean. We asked for another spot and he was more than happy to oblige. Our server was great! He was super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious! We were with a group of 5 and everyone was satisfied. I ordered the seafood tacos that comes with rice on the side. It was the perfect amount and super tasty! My husband ordered the halibut special and he was also very pleased. Since we were celebrating 2 birthdays we ordered a piece of chocolate cake and ice cream on the side. Perfect ending to a great meal! I will say, the parking on the pier was difficult and took us about 15 minutes of cruising until a spot finally opened. It was a 3 day weekend but I'm sure most weekends it is really crowded as this spot is a huge tourist attraction so be aware of this when making plans.

    If everyone in your group loves seafood, this is the place for you! Their vegetarian options (a salad or veggie burger) are good, but many would want more variety. The cocktails are excellent and the outdoor views are great! A little pricy, but we had a great sunset view~

    We were seated out in the glasses in area overlooking the water. It was nice, but everyone was seated in that area. No social distancing at all. The menu has changed drastically. Very few options and the prices have gone up. I was shocked to see the price of my organic greens with carrot shreds, wow!! I make this same salad at home and for $7.95 I can feed a table of 6 adults. Never saw the waiter once our food arrived. Very disappointed

    Our waiter, Ricardo, was great. He was helpful with the menu, attentive, friendly, and seemed happy to be helping us. The food was excellent. Great shrimp and chips. The patio was lovely on a January day. We were celebrating a birthday and it was a success. My only suggestion is to serve coleslaw or something green with the fish and chips.

    This is a very casual restaurant on the waterfront at Stearn's Wharf. The catch of the day and the specials are very good. The sides could use some improvement, especially for people who have dietary restrictions. A little more flexibility of choice would be helpful. Wine list is limited. However, service was outstanding and the server was very helpful and patient in attempting to meet out needs. Give it a go and see what you think.

    Made a reservation and when I arrived there was not a table ready. We had to wait 15 minutes. Other then that it was awesome. Don’t remember our waiters name, but he was awesome. Great vibe, personality, totally a good experience. We were on the outside patio.
