Bayside Cafe

"Location, location, location: this is the secret ingredient to the Bayside Cafe’s runaway success. Established as a walk-up eatery at the Morro Bay State Park Marina, the Bayside Cafe became wildly popular and grew to include a relaxed dining room and patio. Guests love the classic dishes, including seafood, south-of-the-border specialties, salads, burgers, and pasta. For dinner, a selection of beautiful entrees includes surf, turf, and pasta, as well as others. (One order, the Coquilles St. Jacque, tops puffed pastry with mushrooms and four large scallops sautéed in sherry and cream.) Many items are vegetarian and/or gluten-free, or with a gluten-free option. Come for lunch, dinner, or drinks, and enjoy watching the boats and kayaks meander in and out of the marina."
