From the reviews
An amazing experience in the harbor of Half Moon Bay! We came in on a weekend day trip looking for some good drinks and a nice view and wow were we amazed by the experience! KJ at the bar took such good care of us, the cocktails were YUMMY!
Very beautiful decoration and location. With indoor, outdoor, bar seating area. Just sad they didn’t open the second floor for lunch. Everything we order was absolutely delicious and love the seafood fried rice very much. It’s slightly pricey but very great food
Came here with my mom to give her a fine sea side dining experience. As charming the ambience is so is the window view facing the sea, yatches and gulls. Love the Peruvian food and the drinks. Our fave was pork chop, lobster stew and ceviche.
Lovely atmosphere, good service, nice views. The Ceviche tasting was amazing, as well as their fish stew. Not sure how "authentic" the experience was as far as Peruvian cuisine goes, but it was delicious, and that's all I care about tbh.
Getting married at La Costanera
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
