About this business
2011 MICHELIN GUIDE RECOMMENDED "If not for the striped banquettes and contemporary accents, Cetrella could be of another place and time--encapsulated in a gold-flecked Mediterranean villa with exposed beams peering down on private dining rooms, a glass-encased cheese pantry, wood-burning fireplace, and wine cellar with more than 400 international vintages. Possibly the most stylist restaurant in Half Moon Bay, Cetrella serves some of the town's most sophisticated fare. OPENTABLE 2010 DINERS' CHOICE AWARD WINE SPECTATOR AWAR... read more

Great coast side destination restaurant – My husband took me here for our anniversary and I was quite impressed with the food and service. I had not known of this restaurant - and it was lovely inside both romantic and cozy. We shared two appetizers, the sardines and the hamachi which were both tasty and well presented. I had the vegetarian plate which was delicious and filling and my husband had the Halibut which as also excellent. We finished off with a tasting of 3 of the goat cheeses. The wine list was quite extensive wi... read more
Don't get a gift card – I used their online form to order a gift card for a friend. They were completely unprofessional, lost the order, send my credit card info all over the net without security. You will be happier if you take your business elsewhere.
Price is on the higher end but good – We had very attentive service from our waiter. The menu had a very interesting selection, which I enjoyed. I forgot exactly what but it was some kind of wild game tartare, not for the non-adventurous but it was indeed tasty.
one of the best dining by far – It was a very great experience, from the appetizer till the after meal wine and dessert, the mix texture of flavour is fantastic, briliant, a little bit flaw on the presentation. great ambiance and architecture design , very warm and inviting dining room with mellow music background and lighting setting, make it all a great dining experience. The only minus i experienced was the service, from the server, i'm sure there was random thing wherever u go, and the timing of each course a little bit ... read more
not the best in town – sometimes (most of the times) they have really random stuff on the menu... random meaning if you're a picky eater - forget it! BUT i would recommend eating in the bar area. there's a smaller menu, but they have a burger on the menu that's really good. drinks are good. and there's usually live music in the bar area. just don't eat in the restaurant part.
Over Rated – I will never understand why this restaurant is on the top 100 list. Food is marginally imaginative, but hardley what any one wants to eat. I went with a large party, and half of us could not find anything that was appealling. Service was poor. Our server seemed more interested in talking to the table next to us. It was not his table. I guess if you are a regular, it is a whole different experience.
Not worth the price – The building and dinning room are quite nice, but the service and overall feel just isn't up to the level of other places in the same price range. The service is very slow and most of the employees are not friendly. At the price level they're at, you expect friendly, personal service. The food was also average at best. While my steak was good, the creamed kale side was closer to creamed kevlar it was so tough. My wife was happy with her food, but the portions were on the small side for both our meals.

great food – the food was great! really fantastic. the service was decent- not perfect, but not bad. ambience was nice, especailly once the live jazz started.
What a Great Find! – We spent the day in Half Moon Bay and stumbled upon Cetrella - what a fantastic find! The food was amazing and service was great - not too pushy. Very nice atmosphere. We would highly recommend this restaurant!!
