Best Brunch Restaurants in Half Moon Bay

Monday evening at Pasta Moon can’t be beat. Combine the ambience of the bar (including piano player) with a great menu and you have all you need for a perfect experience. 

Excellent food, service, and location. Enjoyed variety of menu choices as well as staff who were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made the dining experience superb.

My partner and I had a late afternoon lunch here after walking on the beach in Half Moon Bay. The restaurant is very nicely decorated with an open and inviting feeling. The waitstaff was very well trained. I spilled my glass of wine on the table and two of the waitstaff were there to clean it up immediately. The only reason I give the restaurant four stars for the food instead of five is because the roman artichokes were over salted. When I brought it up the server graciously took the dish back immediately and brought another. Less salt, but still too much. The butter lettuce salad we had was tasty. Perfectly dressed and served with goat cheese and almonds. For our main course we had the Parpardelle (Tripe, short ribs, mushrooms, and Fiscalini Cheese), which was perfectly executed and presented. Very nice wine list. The house bourbon was surprisingly good. Our dessert was the Holiday Cannoli which was one of the best presentations of cannoli that we have eaten. We look forward to our next visit to the restaurant.

A great lunch experience. Wonderful food and service.

The bartender was friendly and attentive. Good vibes with a smile
