Great food! Shrimp and chips were amazing and well worth it! Big crispy prawns and the fish was the same crispy and super good! Definitely coming back!

The food and service was OK nothing to be wow about but it is a nice view if you get the seats next to the window. The lobster roll was a joke. Don't get that lobster roll. I wouldn't mind visiting the restaurant again if I'm around just to have some cocktails and appetizer.

Great service, plenty of tables for a late morning breakfast. As always, the huevos rancheros were superb.

A lot of mixed reviews from this place but I had a great experience. We came for breakfast and there was no wait and lots of empty seating. Just before driving on the wharf I had seen lots of people line up at other restaurants and bakeries, but no line here. And most places in the wharf were closed in the morning. They had a great lobster eggs Benedict. Lobster was slightly salty but I was able to cut that with a squeeze of lemon juice. The rest of my family enjoyed their meal.

Glad we stopped in for a snack and beverage. Had really nice service by Lee. She was sweet. Orders the oysters raw. So fresh and delightful I could've eaten a dozen.

My spouse and I treated my elderly parents to dinner at Moby Dick's. We loved our dinner plates: Halibut specials; fish & chips; burger. Good portions of food & nice presentations. I also ordered the bread pudding, which was divine. It had whipped cream and strawberry sauce. Yum! The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and the service was excellent. It was a beautiful evening, and everyone was satisfied and happy. Thank you, Moby Dick!

Embarrassing. Tourist trap so they don't care about treating people well and especially the food.

Otherwise "just fine" restaurant made Four Star by beautiful views. We tried the shrimp louie and fish/shrimp & chips. The salad was fine, and the fried fish and the hot crispy chips were good. The shrimp was underwhelming and a touch fishy. Solid mai tai but not the best on the wharf. Our server Everardo was clearly a seasoned pro and took good care of us. The views of SB from the window seats make for a special dining experience. We won't rush back but we are not opposed to returning.
