    Amazing food with wonderful presentation. The service was excellent as were the views. I appreciated that our server asked right away about my gluten allergy. I was able to safely enjoy my dish and sample my fiancé’s as well.

    This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The crab legs, prawns, crab cake and risotto were superb. I also enjoyed the New York cheesecake. My husband had fried shrimp that he said was wonderful too! We will definitely return on our next trip.

    This is truly the best place to go and eat. The food was phenomenal. The service was beyond excellent. We were seated right away and our waiter instantly came up to us for a drink order. My daughter has a peanut allergy and they have a little slip for us to put down what her allergy is and what her food is that she’s ordering. I have to say I’ve never gone to a place that would do that for an allergy. They checked on us constantly. This is the place to visit when in Monterey. We will be coming back soon.

    Restaurant très bien situé, la décoration est sobre mais le nombre de tables permet de recevoir suffisamment de clients pour ne pas avoir à attendre. Même si la cuisine n'est pas exeptionnelle, elle est bonne et copieuse et le service est impeccable. De plus, les tarifs sont raisonnables.

    The seafood soup was delicious, but the filet was just okay. Beautiful location right on the water and prices accordingly. Service was also great

    Date night with the wife - first time in Monterey and wanted seafood had a great experience, service and good even during the busy part of the night. Order the halibut and wife ordered the whole crab. More food than we could eat, plus free appetizer for just walking in the door. Great view of the harbor to watch the seals play Perfect Date night after an exhausting day in the office
