★★★☆☆ 3.0 Andy Ng · Jan 2026

Aldo's is one of the few harbor restaurants that attract tourists due to its scenic views of the water while enjoying some breakfast, a sammy, or seafood. We had a 30 minute wait coming on a Saturday afternoon and were seated an hour before their closing at 15:00. Since I am plant-based, I had to ask some questions with their veggie related items. Their default bread is unfortunately not vegan so I opted for sourdough in my veggie burger, removing the cheese and mayo. The food here was decent but nothing to write home about. My veggie burger came quite bland with just the sourdough sandwiching it, and the condiments all on the side. I wish they had helped put everything together and sliced it in half for me to make it easier to eat. The fries on the side were okay and went well with the

Great staff. Lots of shade available. Having a bar window available while you wait for your table was a HUGE hit. Offering breakfast items until close was another win. Fish and chips on point. Breakfast scramble (bacon) a great brunch option. Bloody Mary’s were worth it. View and vibe worth the wait. We’ll be back all summer.

I love how dog friendly this restaurant is. The homemade garlic fugasa and clam chowder are crowd pleasers. If you like prawns, you can order them in a quesadilla or over linguine. Don’t forget the Bloody Mary! The service is quick and accommodating for special requests. The wait on weekdays is minimal, but if you have to wait at least you get to enjoy those harbor views.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Ward · Oct 2025

The service was radiant! The women who were working were sweet, charming, and mischievously funny. Their presence alone warrants return; they made hospitality feel like a homecoming, not a transaction. The food was great; very fresh and perfect portion sizes. My only criticism would be that my French toast, though tasty, was a bit under-saturated, the middle was untouched by batter denying it the custardy goodness the outer edges offered. The atmosphere was magical, alive with marine life. As we ate we watched the sea birds fish and caught a few glimpses of a lone sea lion weaving through the boats in the harbor.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Meyer · Apr 2025

We love this dog friendly outdoor restaurant along the harbor. Their hours are limited to breakfast and lunch. They also aren’t open on rainy days. But on a sunny day it’s a great spot to get a bite and Fido can come too! Mahi tacos and blackened fish sandwich are both recommended. Beware of pigeons they’re a tad aggressive and can drive my dog nuts.
