    We visit the Monterey area at least once a year for several days. We always have one of our dinners at Domenico’s. Food, service and views are all great.

    Excellent service. We came to the coast for seafood. I had the sea bass special. It had a lot of flavor and was cooked just right so it still had moisture. I would go back again. Highly recommend!

    Such a great restaurant. We were there early (long story), but were seated anyway. Monterey had just experienced a huge rainstorm and power outage (although Fisherman's Wharf seems to have gotten its power back sooner than the neighboring area). The servers and staff were unbothered and waitstaff was prompt, cordial, and friendly. Plus the food was great! you can't go wrong with seafood in Monterey. But this was a notch up.

    Very busy when we first arrived for our 7:00 reservation. We were seated at a nice table at the window. The food was pretty good, I had bacon wrapped scallops, but the bacon was overcooked. Hubby had fried prawns that were huge and tasty. It was the service that brought my rating down. We had to ask for both water and bread, which took awhile. After our food was delivered I don’t think we saw our waiter again until we got the check. May have been an off-night for him.

    Sad to say that the food wasn’t as good as during our numerous previous visits. Calamari was undercooked and had some inedible pieces.

    The food was all great and came quickly. We had the Sole, Salmon, clams and linguini, and calamari steak. The calamari steak was pretty thin but everything else was great. Nice little view of the water.
