The menu tends to be a little limited, but
the food and service is good. With it's very yummy burgers, it
a good choice for families. On a nice day, the patio can really make
it a very pleasant experience.

Spanishtown
515 Church St.., Half Moon Bay, CA (650) 726-7357
Explorer1.com Review -
The wonderful Mexican food, great service,
reasonable prices, and a "home-like" ambiance make this restaurant
one of our favorite choices in Half Moon Bay.
Pasta Moon
315 Main Street, Half Moon Bay, CA (650) 726-5126
Explorer1.com Review -
A nice cozy ambiance, great food and service
make this a wonderful choice for a special occasion or romantic dinner.
Prices range from moderate to expensive.
Cetrella Bistro & Café
845 Main St., Half Moon Bay, CA (650) 726-4090
Explorer1.com Review -
Great desserts, good food, and an inviting ambiance make this an excellent choice
for a special occasion or romantic dinner. Please note, though, that
the menu items can be a little unusual, so it's not the best place for
those that aren't adventurous eaters and children. Also, during
brunch, I found that their
service can be a
little below par, and their cocktails can be a little overpowering --
especially their bloody Mary. Dinner and brunch prices are expensive.
