'Moonraker' namesake restaurant makes a comeback in California

After a long hiatus from Rockaway Beach, CA, the Moonraker, a seafood restaurant inspired by the 1979 James Bond film, is making its return.

It�s setting up shop at the very same spot it began�the old Portofino space in the Best Western Lighthouse Hotel across Rockaway Beach Avenue from Nick�s. Besides a spectacular floor-to-ceiling view of the Pacific Ocean and the Rockaway riprap, Moonraker will feature a modern seafood menu with a twist, wines and cocktails.

�We wanted to bring back the magic of the old Moonraker that served as such a special gathering place for so many years in the Bay Area community,� said general manager and co-owner Gary McNamara. �We hope we�ve created a place where both locals and visitors alike can enjoy hearty seafood dishes, have a glass of wine or a cocktail at the bar, and enjoy the sunset over the ocean, surrounded by friends.�
