   I ordered the Sole Piccata and it did not disappoint! So tender and the sauce was superb! Also had a cup of their clam chowder and that was so yummy. Hubby ordered the Pesto Pasta and enjoyed it very much. We love their habanero sauce and put it on all our dishes, I even bought a bottle to take home. Staff was super nice and attentive we can’t wait to return! Thank you Fishwife for a wonderful experience and deeelicious food!

   This was an enjoyable meal. The menu is extensive. My wife and I had sole piccata and Hawaiian bowl, and both were both excellent. Two small complaints: (1) I ordered a glass of wine at the same time as I ordered my entree, but the wine did not arrive until several minutes after my entree plate. (2) The seasonal vegetables were served lukewarm, not hot enough. Nevertheless, I would recommend Fishwife for a pleasant, tasty and (mostly) well-prepared meal.

   We looked at a number of possible restaurants before selecting this one. We were so disappointed in our choice. But first I should note that the service was quick, friendly and pleasant. No complaints about the service and staff. The food, on the other hand, was AT BEST mediocre. My husband ordered the "surf and turf" with a rib eye and shrimp, mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. I had the calamari "steak" with white rice, black beans and the same mixed veggies. My calamari was a very small portion, even for me, a small eater, and covered in a sauce that was more tasty than the calamari itself, which was flavorless. The rice seemed like it came scooped with an ice cream scoop from a rice cooker. The veggies were not seasoned. My husband's rib eye (I tasted it) was terrible. It had a lot of fat and lacked flavor. We took most of it home and the dog LOVED it. Just saying. But it wasn't worth over $100.00 to feed our dog. Probably the only truly NON disappointing dish was the cheese cake. It was supposed to be mango cheesecake, but it was just vanilla cheesecake with some mango drips on the plate. Still yummy anyway.

   We love the food and the service. It's not a big restaurant but more like a cafe-size venue. It's in a lovely outdoor location

    Fresh fish dishes abound here! Barramundi was served with black beans, rice, veggies over a crispy tortilla shell and was excellent. My wife had the pasta primavera with additional grilled salmon and loved it. We also split a Caesar salad to start and it was plenty for two. Wine list included a wide variety of CA vineyards and per glass prices were reasonable. Note: we ate here in late September, after the tourist season had past, so it was quieter than it is during the very busy summer months, due to it's proximity to Asilomar Conference Grounds and the Pacific Grove beach scene.
