Came here during a work conference as I had a taste for clam chowder. I opted for a cup of the chowder and ordered their seafood risotto which did not disappoint. It was creamy but didn't overwhelm the hefty amount of scallops,
Shrimp, salmon, and a whole lobster tail. I do think going in the day time would be better - the ambience in the evening gives a VERY romantic vibe and you can't see the water. My server was attentive and so sweet, I got a rose upon leaving.

My daughter loves their clam chowder in bowl we enjoy calamari and artichokes. My hubby enjoyed Gorgonzola and pear salad, seafood pasta. I ordered crab ravioli some of the pieces were over cooked however the sauce was delicious. Sipped pina coladas and topped off the night with creme brûlée and special pie.

The staff was wonderful, the service was fast and the food was excellent. Very good clam chowder

Very nice seafood restaurant. Great views, service and food. They gave a long stem rose to each lady at the conclusion of dinner.

Old Fisherman's Grotto is everything you want in a seaside dining experience -- warm hospitality, incredible views, and absolutely delicious food. We had an amazing time here! The seafood was incredibly fresh and flavorful -- especially the clam chowder, which deserves all the hype. Every dish was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented.

The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, with that classic charm that makes you feel right at home by the water. Our server was so attentive and kind, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're celebrating something special or just enjoying a day on Cannery Row, this spot is a must.

Can't wait to come back for another bowl of chowder and a glass of wine overlooking the bay!

The Lazy man Giopino tastes better than before. Delicious!
The New Zealand kind salmon is fresh and fatty. Very delicious, worth the extra cost.
Good day, good reception by Austin, good treatment, good lunch today.
Happy.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. We had a group of 9 but they only seat groups of 6. So they were able to have us close by together in 2 different tables so we felt like we were together.

The inside is really nice and spacious. They have some tables with a view of the water but this time we got to see the pier.

Food was very good. The seafood pasta was very tasty and a good portion. Salmon was perfectly cooked along with the shrimp & claws. The clam chowder was very creamy & very flavorful.

We come here anytime we are in Monterey.

Had dinner here with my two kids. Our waiter Sal, the service was great he was very attentive. They do not have a kids a menu but he had no problem splitting a plate for my kids. The food was delicious.
I understand why they have no room for high chairs and strollers it's an older building with booths not tables with chairs you can move around. We were surrounded by other families with kids. Everyone was enjoying themselves. We saved room for dessert, which was great.

Came from lunch. Enjoyed the taste of monterey special, my friend had the jambalaya and another friend had the fish n chips. The clam chowder was great, service was amazing.
