Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Half Moon Bay

We had a delightful family dinner at Pasta Moon with our 92-year-old grandfather, and it couldn’t have been more special. Italian cuisine is his favorite, yet this was his first time visiting Pasta Moon—and he absolutely loved it! He ordered the puttanesca, featuring mussels, clams, and scallops, which put a unique and delicious twist on the traditional dish. Another standout was the lasagna, which was a big hit with our group. The portions were incredibly generous, and the service was impeccable—the staff made sure we always had everything we needed. It’s clear why this restaurant has been a beloved favorite for so many years. Pasta Moon truly delivers a memorable dining experience!

We had a fantastic meal. Beetini's on the menu again, amazing duck confit and the donuts!!! One of the best meals ever.

We went for my wife’s birthday and had a very nice time. The food was exceptional and the wait staff was an orchestrated ballet of impeccable service. Everything from the appetizers, the main courses and the desserts were all rock solid. I expected at least one of these categories to be a little weak (as they are with most restaurants) and I was continually pleasantly surprised by the dynamic flavors and incredibly well-prepared, and well-seasoned food overall. My only critique would be that the broccolini was undercooked for my taste and a little too heavy on the garlic, and the porterhouse rolls were slightly disappointing — they were made of some kind of wheat dough with an added aromatic that wasn’t needed in my opinion. I was hoping for the classic buttery white bread porterhouse rolls! But if you are looking for exotic flavors, and open to things being a little different than expected, there’s no shortage of that at Niku. The ambience was modern, tasteful and chic. The music was a little loud, but that helped to provide a very immersive experience. After a few drinks you don’t notice as much lol. They have three different seating options: bar, tables, and chefs counter. This was not as clearly explained as it could’ve been on their website or on OpenTable. The pictures I found online didn’t give a clear enough idea of what the different seating options would look like, so that made planning a special occasion a little difficult. Otherwise, I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

My friends and i had a wonderful time at your restaurant. The food was so good and the service was excellent and kind. Thank you so much for everything. We will definitely be back as always. Lucy Chadwick

Wow, what a DELICIOUS meal we enjoyed tonight. From the PICKLED VEGETABLES, the LITTLE LETTUCE SALAD, to the my DUNGENESS CRAB TAGLIOLINI, the food was on point. All four of us enjoyed our respective entrees. There was a small snafu with our second round of drinks, but the EXCELLENT ATTENTIVENESS of the manager, Sarah, quickly and happily resolved everything. Our wait staff was very attentive too. We will definitely be back for dinner again and we were thrilled that CAMPER delivered…AGAIN.
