Ketch Harbor Pub

My husband, son, and I visited Ketch Harbor Pub for an early dinner, and we had a wonderful experience! The location is beautiful, right by the harbor, and we chose to sit outside at a table with a cozy fire pit in the center, which was just perfect.The pub has a very family-friendly atmosphere and a menu with something for everyone. Our server was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, which made the experience even better. The food was great, and we all left very satisfied.Overall, I was very pleased with our visit to Ketch Harbor Pub, and we'll definitely be back!

Went in last Sunday, first time and last.Walked in and was greeted by the girl working the front, who was nice. It was busy which is no surprise, it's Half Moon Bay, Sunday and a long weekend. Everyone wants their seafood fix.We were seated pretty quick, and she handed us the menus. It was about 15-20 minutes before our server came, no smile and simply looked like he hated his job. He looked so annoyed, didn't ask us if we had any questions or anything. And was very short with us when we did ask a question, he just kept looking at us to hurry up with our order. I don't know he if he's a senior server or management, it was hard to tell. We were INSTANTLY turned off his enthusiastic customer service. The menu was pretty basic for me, nothing really looked good to me other than the calamari and that's all we ordered. It was decent, we ate it pretty quickly and asked for the bill. Total was $19.37, placed a $20 on the table, and left.Never again....

Really liked the ambiance of this place. We sat outside which was a little cold but we had blankets so which kept us warm. The wait was about 10 mins to sit and the food came pretty quickly after ordering.The fish and chips weren't super flavorful but the fish tasted pretty fresh. The fried were also not salted but the sauces were good.The linguini was tasty although a little bit smaller than I expected.Overall enjoyed the experience and would come back

Came here on a sunny MLK Day. It was popular. Front desk lady was new, but someone seasoned came out to keep things moving. After waiting in line for 3-5mins, we were seated inside. The waitress tracked down a menu for us. This is a beach shack feel kind of place. It's right off the piers where you can come to get fresh, live crabs and fish off the fishing boats! We had picked up a crab so kiddo could experience getting a crab off a boat. The food is simple, fresh and good. We got the crab sandwich, which was Yom! The mixed fried seafood which had two pieces each of fish, prawns and scallop -- well done and better than the fish and chips at Waterbar. And clam chowder, which is a bit bacon forward and much tastier once we added some pepper. Overall, simple, fresh food at a lovely location which makes for a great outing to the HMB pier!

Really liked the food at Ketch, and out of the 3 different restaurants I had clam chowder on this trip, Ketch was far and away the best. Perfect thickness and flavor without having to add any salt or pepper. Chef's kiss! The bloody mary was delicious and hit the spot as my "starter", followed by that clam chowder and finished with the Crispy Seafood Combo. I am super picky when it comes to scallops and I have largely stopped ordering them at restaurants because they are almost never cooked properly. Well I took a chance at Ketch and I was highly rewarded. The scallops included with my combo plate were fantastic, perfectly cooked and exactly the right tenderness. The only gripe was that my wife's $28 crab & bay shrimp Louie salad came out almost no crab at all. Annoyed, she flagged the server down and expressed her dissatisfaction, to which he replied that the salad comes with 2oz of meat so it's normal, but then he went and got her another small bowl of just crab meat. Once applied to the salad, all was right in the world again and her salad was complete.

First time at this restaurant and ate with my grandma. It was super good. The clam chowder had a good amount of seafood on it & it has the perfect texture & flavor. The salmon was also really good. It's a simple dish, but it tasted very flavorful and not fishy. The mashed potatoes was creamy and delicious. My grandma also enjoyed her cioppino. The servers were very kind & attentive. The ambiance is also nice & relaxing. Nothing too fancy, but a good restaurant to enjoy some seafood.

We've been here three times in the last two months thought I'd finally write a review! My husband and I love it here. The food and drinks are delicious! Our server was Jerry, our bartender Emily, they are super friendly and attentive! We will definitely make it a point to stop by whenever we are in town!

Stoped here before checking in to our hotel, for a small bite to eat. What a lovely place. It was busy and all the food looked really good. We were seated right away and our waitress Tara took excellent care of us. We tried the clam chowder and the oysters. All were delicious. Next time I plan to try their fish and chips.

Location, location, location is a very important factor in any review! This cozy pub is located right in the Half Moon Bay Marina, right next to the Mavericks Surf Shop! How legit is that?The patio lets you hear the birds flying around the boats. The inside is cozy and warm. The menu is really solid for a "pub". The crab grilled cheese looked scrumptious! The chowder was really wonderful, full of fresh clams, and the potatoes were the perfect texture!My fish tacos were a fresh take on an old favorite and totally delicious. The French fries were crunchy and excellent. Our server was Alex and he was terrific, attentive but not intrusive, I liked him lots.The dessert menu was thrilling and the banberry pie stood out but the grandson was done so we paid up and walked out happy!The parking lot was empty on Saturday night but this is a new favorite of ours! SpecialShout out for the calamari appetizer!

Delicious food and a wonderful time sitting outside.Four of us had lunch here today and sat outside with our pooch. What a very dog friendly restaurant!The service was wonderful and spot on.
