We had dinner here and they have an open air well heated patio so even if it's cool you should be fine. The steak and fish was a good choice on both our parts. You can also order flaming cocktails.

The best clam chowder in the state. The macadamia nut halibut is to die for. Filet mignon is cooked perfectly. Sweeping views of the ocean. Excellent wine list w local wines. You won't be disappointed

Even if efficient the place is not very intimate, the food and service is good. I was hesitating between clam chowder and cioppino and the waiter was very kind and gave me a small sample

Want to see the coast and have out of this world seafood? No better place then here! Don't pass on the calm chowder with the bread bowl! Add the crab meat

Great menu, lots of selections. Had the macadamia nut crusted halibut, very generous serving. Service was top notch and friendly. Half bottles of wine available.

Prawn cocktail and crab cocktail to start, followed by cups of clam chowder and bread. All with an ocean view. Perfect light lunch.

They have the BEST clam chowder in Monterey. If that's all you came for and want to save some $$, get it out on the pier. Otherwise go in for some incredible seafood. The Oysters Rockefeller rock!

Local snapper! Amazing! Sit inside with the 180 sea view to beat the cold Monterey breeze!

We enjoyed a lot in this restaurant. Very busy so the service a little late but the food was very delicious. I tried crab and definetly must try.

We had a great time last night here! fried calamari, the ultimate seafood pasta, and surf&turf were delicious. really good clam chowder too ;)

One of the best spots in Monterey for seafood. It has a spectacular view of the bay, and the servers are always very friendly. Claim Chowder is mandatory.

Clam chowder, served in bread bowl, is a must try! Along with its scenic view, this place is one of my favorites!
Luis CastroJanuary 8, 2017
The food here is great and fresh. The platter says it's for 2 people but it easily fed 4 of us.
Eric ItowNovember 23, 2012
Best clam chowder in the bay. Their lobster, scallop, and prawn risotto is also a must try. Great service. Never a disappointment.

Excellent service. The staff is just on point! The seafood is super fresh like it jumped right out of the ocean in front of you.

The Seafood Cioppino was AMAZING, and so was the Lobster Risotto. The service was very nice and our waiter Nelson was great!
Vickye WongAugust 9, 2017
Loved the cocktail menu, the Zombi and the blackberry martini was awesome and the clam chowder was out of this world.
KemoSabeMarch 20, 2015
The best calamari I've ever had. You need to try the bacon wrapped scallops. Outstanding. The clam chowder is also exceptional.
Adam K.September 17, 2016
Lobster risotto is delicious and would highly recommend it. Service was excellent. King crab was also good.
Pierre van MedgeMay 26, 2014
The star of the sourdough bread bowl clam chowder is the bread, not the soup. So if you're in the mood for clam chowder, get it in a bread bowl!
Lauren BaconJune 20, 2014
Best bread bowl and clam chowder in 50 mile radius! Skip other spots and grab a bowl to go for $8!! Feeds two people easy!
Kimberly AllenSeptember 20, 2013
Prawns and Big Sur mushrooms. Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc is excellent. Fish hopper received a wine spectator award last year. Local wine and mushrooms :)
Henriette HøyerMarch 18, 2017
Try spicy shrimp pasta. If you're not in the mood for seafood, try the parmesan chicken. 👌🏻
Sandra CifoMarch 10
The fresh snapper and the macadamia halibut are to die for
Tom CoatesAugust 6, 2014
Genuinely surprised by this place - looks like a tourist trap from outside, but has lovely food and nice views of the sea.
Chelsea BanksJanuary 31, 2015
Both lobster and crab are delicious and the view is beautiful.
Diana TobeyAugust 25, 2014
Clam chowder bread bowl. 'Nuff said. Not the best chowder but it's an experience for sitting on the crags and taking in Cannery Row.
ZenOctober 6, 2014
Crab legs with lobster tail was amazing! Nice service with warm atmosphere. Excellent view
Maxine LevineOctober 30, 2014
Clam chowder is excellent. And the mahi mahi is also quite good. Ask for a table on the water.
Andrew L.July 22, 2012
Great dungeon was crab appetizer and sautéed artichoke appetizers. Right on the water. Wait is short. Lots of tables. Our waiter was top notch
Kevin GasserAugust 15, 2011
The pasta with salmon is amazing!! Make reservations and ask to sit by the window. Go to bargetto winerey and you get no working fee and free appetizer. Delicious!!
Kate FurmanAugust 1, 2016
The ahi tuna and shrimp salad is excellent. Also, must get the clam chowder soup!
Filipa ByrneOctober 11, 2014
Great battered fish with lobster sauce! Fast service and friendly staff. Expresso coffee is terrible though
Ashley NelsonDecember 23, 2012
The artichoke ravioli's were off the chart! So amazing! One of the best veggie dishes I have ever ordered!

The clam chowder is amazing! Grilled salmon is my fav. Cooked to perfection. The linguini Isabelle looked yummy. Service was superb :)
Monika VakulchikAugust 21, 2013
Monterey halibut fish and chips and asparagus fries are DELICIOUS! and the chocolate bread pudding is a MUST!

The swordfish was delicious and has a nice view
Emily T.July 16, 2013
Great clam chowder bowl! Also be sure to check out the lunch or dinner specials for some amazing food! :)
Simone MaccaferriJuly 7, 2015
Very good quality street food to go, fish tacos are landmark
Tom WolfsteinJuly 4, 2014
This is what they mean when they say tourist trap, so expect to pay a 50% premium. Not sure why the clam chowder is award winning. The one thin I can say for this place is that it has a nice view.
Sarah ClarkJune 30, 2014
Be prepared to be chided by the condescending manager, Steve, if you ask for a glass of ice. Otherwise, the place is lovely.
Ashley BowlesOctober 18, 2016
Nice view and location. Food and service were just OK. Clam chowder was tasty, but rich. Should have gotten a cup instead of a bowl!
Amélie BeerensDecember 16, 2014
Try the Seafood pasta Isabella. More seafood than pasta! Fresh & Tasty!
Rae MaugeFebruary 8, 2012
Try the artichoke ravioli! Best vegetarian option in the house, and one of the only. And the crime brulee ain't that shabby either.
Tom WolfsteinJuly 4, 2014
This is the fish and chips you get for $17.95. Kind of small if you ask me.
