Food and Service excellence We want to thank Chis and Austin, the owners of Fisherman’s Grotto on the Monterey Wharf. It was so refreshing to see a family operated business for over 75 years still continuing the tradition of Service Excellence. The Thick and creamy chowder is to die for and has to be the best ever! My wife savored the fresh pan seared halibut, which is fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed the calamari steak Parmesan topped with eggplant. How wonderful. The view is stunning & the setting remarkable. Thank you so much for a fabulous evening. Best Regards, John Z. Retired Certified Executive Chef, American Culinary water Federation and CIA graduate.

Excellent and amazingly fresh. So unexpected. Excellent macadamia crusted halibut with coconut prawns and brussels sprouts they’re absolutely amazing. I don’t normally care for them, but they were perfection at the same time for us. Also would like a dessert. The previous reviews were so understated. I can’t speak for the other seafood restaurants, but their halibut was so fresh and perfectly cooked. I’m so satisfied and amazed at this dining experiment.

I went there with family twice, and both times we had a great experience. The food from appetizer to main dish to dessert, everything is delicious. The ladies also got a rose at the end of the meal. I would highly recommend this place.

This is my favorite restaurant in Monterey. The food is always great and the waiters/waitresses are highly professional and well trained. I love the classy Sinatra background music and the beautiful ocean views from my table. For a 2 or 3 night stay in Monterey we always go here at least twice.

Food and the service was amazing! Angel was our server and he was very attentive, courteous, and made great dish recommendations! Thank you very much for the great ambience. We'll be back very soon! 🙂
