On the property
“The seated though dated was comfortable and allowed for a more intimate dinner setting when you were placed in the "two" person booth with views of the ocean.”
“The view alone is breathtaking—arriving around 4:00 PM gave us the perfect chance to watch the sunset unfold, and it was absolutely magical.”
What couples highlight
“The most beautiful place, view, atmosphere, ambiance, we had a live pianist this past Sunday night 3/1/26, he was excellent, thought it was a playlist of all the classical hits.”
“Expansive ocean views, 30' above the beach, from the window wall.”
From the reviews
First things first - service was outstanding. The woman whom we met at the front to seat us heard our plea for a window table, to take in the amazing coastside views this restaurant offers.
Rating this place a 4.5/5. Atmosphere and views 5/5. Worth reserving a window seat at sunset. Food was amazing except for the crab. Salad 5/5 Mussels 5/5 Dungeoness crab 3/5. This was very dry. Scallops with pureed butternut squash 5/5 Drinks 5/5

An Unforgettable Experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and exceptional service. We didn’t have to wait at all to be seated, which made us feel welcome right away. The waitstaff were impeccable in their service: attentive, friendly, and always anticipating any need or request.
Getting married at Moonraker
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.
