The best seafood ever! New England clam chowder, the best!!! Bread pudding to die for! Sal, our waiter was terrific, the best ever! The second generation owner even came by! Really nice!!! Our 38th Anniversary vacation, come every year to Monterey! Great view, window seat! See you next year! ‍

Wow! This food was the best I've had by far. Service was absolutely amazing. This is my brothers favorite place and will be mine too:) Pretty cute to take pictures too

This the first time having dinner here and not my last. The food was AMAZING. Clam chowder lovers must try it here our server Angel was awesome and so helpful with recommendations. The Management team is so welcoming and make sure to say thank you for coming, they even gave me a rose before I left. The restaurant replicates the stairway of Titanic. We had a view looking over the water and as the sun was coming down it was such a beautiful view. A MUST TRY, hope you enjoy it as much as I did Thank you Grotto staff

What an amazing experience , the service we received from Ruben was exceptional. I see this being my go to place to eat when visiting Monterey.

Must try the clam chowder!

Pablo was our server and wow! He was attentive, kind, and gave us great suggestions for drinks and dinner. The food was increfible, and we are so happy the clam chowder is still just as amazing as it was years ago. We love this place and are grateful for the kind staff and wonderful food.

Old Fishermans Grotto was a three time winner for my husband and I. The owner and his son have a fine establishment, staff and atmosphere. The food is superb. Thank you for helping make our anniversary special!

excellent ambience, great service and delicious food.
Martine is always welcoming and Pablo is great as a server.

I came in today for lunch and everything was great. Our servers name was Salvador and he did an awesome job of taking care of us. He took our order and got our food to us in a timely manner, he's professional, made sure we were taken care of, he's friendly, easy to talk too and made everything go very smoothly.

As for the food, I had jambalaya and clam chowder. I don't know who the chef was but it came out better than I expected. The spices weren't overpowering and it wasn't salty (a common problem I've had in other restaurants). And the clam chowder was very clean and creamy

If I'm ever in fishermans wharf in Monterey, I will definitely keep this place in mind

The service was amazing! Janette our server was so knowledgeable about the gluten free options. My daughter has celiacs and it was completely safe eating here. Thank you! Also loved the ocean views.
