Nestled by the ocean with breathtaking views, this restaurant offers a memorable dining experience, although guests have noted that the prices can be steep. While the atmosphere and service receive high praise, with attentive staff and a lovely ambiance, some dishes have fallen short in freshness and value. Guests enjoyed standout items like clam chowder, seafood pasta, and cocktails, but felt that certain meals were overpriced, especially for the portions served. Although it’s an ideal spot for special occasions, diners on tighter budgets may want to explore other options nearby. Overall, the stunning views may be worth the splurge.

The food is mediocre and overpriced. The ribeye platter for two was $270! Their ultimate seafood pasta was $50 which had 3 shrimps and 2 scallops. Their prices are a bit overkill for the quality. We also had other items that were just not good, their special oyster rockerfeller went bad, we told the waitress it wasn 't removed off the bill. They obviously were trying to get rid of oysters that weren 't that fresh. The views you cant beat though, I guess that 's what you 're paying for... the scenic dining in a touristy restaurant.

We had one of the best seafood dining experiences during our visit to Monterey. The menu offered a great variety of options. I treated myself to the abalone, which was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the lobster tail, and it was also prepared to perfection. The service was excellent, and the cocktails were creative. We would definitely dine here again.

Delicious food and great service, with a gorgeous view of the bay. Seats over the water provide breathtaking views in a casual setting. Loved the sand dabs. The rest of the menu seemed a bit high, but maybe that’s just Monterey prices these days. A fun night out.

I admit that I initially scoffed when I read on the menu that the clam chowder was award winning . I changed my mind after the first taste. It 's objectively one of the best clam chowders I 've had. I would describe it as creamy, smooth, a delicate (ifthat 's possible for a chowder). The bowl is sufficient for a meal (more filling than it looks). The cup isna good complimentto something else. The bread bowl is ample. With regard to the cheesecake... I give it an 11 out of 10. Absolutely amazing. Even the garnish raspberries/ blackberries were somehow perfect.

A great view sitting on the water with an array of dishes to choose from. About 80% are seafood, so beware if seafood isn’t your thing. Since half of our party loved seafood it was perfect. The clam chowder is very creamy, the portions just right.Desserts beautifully presented and scrumptious! No shortage of staff, always someone there to help.
