    Basically the dinning area is enclosed by large windows. The setting is very nice and airy(roomy). I ordered the Liberty Duck Breast, medium rare, for myself and daughter. It, as usual, was outstanding. I’m not sure why it isn’t busier than it is. It is one of finest restaurants on Cannery Row. The is on par with the food, outstanding. When I am in Monterey it is always one of my stops.

    We love the Beach House but last night our table was in the covered patio area at a table for 2. There were 3 large groups which made for a very noisy unpleasant experience for our intimate dinner. The main dining room is the place to sit!

    We celebrated our 21 year anniversary, they gave us personalized menus and our server was wonderful. Everything was delicious but the Chilean Sea Bass is phenomenal. You are packed in close to others and we had a fantastic time listening to the unfiltered conversations around us. A mix between Seinfeld and The Golden Girls. If you stay locally let your hotel know where you are dining and they might have an appetizer coupon for you.

    Even though this restaurant is in a touristy area, somehow they still manage to serve amazing food with a down to earth attitude. The ambiance and service are both great, we never feel rushed. We love the calamari steak sandwich and abalone so much that we keep coming back.
