Food tasted like it was "fresh from the freezer", definitely not locally caught. We won't be coming back for food, maybe just drinks next time.

We walked the Embarcadero in Morro Bay searching for an affordable seafood restaurant. We decided on Dutchman's Seafood House for the value its menu promised and its beautiful location.We were not disappointed. We enjoyed their excellent seafood chowder, lovely salad with fresh local vegetables, and fried sand dabs accompanied by a yummy lemon caper aioli, seasonal vegetables and rice pilaf... More

We chose this restaurant just by chance, and what a good choice. The food was really good and the service was excellent. The fish chowder was awesome! Highly recommended.

To my mind, Dutchman's has greatly improved since its remodel, name and concept change a few years ago. Still owned by the same family who founded it over 40 years ago, the menu has been tweaked and the ingredients upgraded to rely on locally sourced fish, which makes the new Dutchman's stand out from the crowd of fish-fry joints along...

A family owned restaurant and a must do for excellent dinner or lunch. The food is amazing, atmosphere is modern and relaxing. We usually eat there a couple of times when were in town. Pleasant wait staff. I think they're clam chowder is the best in town. Entrees are simple, beautifully dished and always yummy.

We stopped here after walking down the board walk a few times. This place offers half price appetizer along with discounted wine from 3-6. We ordered the oysters and steam clams along with a glass of chardonnay. The food was cooked to perfection and the wine was great. If you are in a budget and want some nice food ,... More

We got a 15% discount from Yelp and tried this place. The ciopinno (sp) was excellent. The prices are very reasonable considering the great view.

What a great place at Morro Bay. Fabulous food - this was our second trip to Morro Bay, and we HAD to eat here at Dutchman's Seafood House. The owner came out and talked to us - so very friendly, relaxed and comfy. We sat along the windows that look out over the water and the Morro Rock, and all... More
