Still as good as the first time!! I tried this place the first time with my wife, and it was good then. Stay at the really simple... Fried shrimp, fries, and some delicious crab cakes. They didn't disappoint, as they didn't disappoint the first time. I went for an early lunch, and was immediately greeted and seated. It didn't take long for my server to get to the table, but I already knew what I wanted so I didn't have to wait for Long there either. Took maybe 10 minutes for my food to come out and of course it was piping hot. The shrimps cooked to perfection. It definitely wasn't tossed up between the fried shrimp and the coconut and fried shrimp.... Guess what I'm getting next time! Everyone seemed to be getting ready to work for the day, people were moving around, clearing tables and seating people as fast as they came in. Display sits on the wharf overlooking the ocean and out to the bay. If you can seat next to the window, I recommend you doing that. There's a wide variety of food. From chicken, pasta, to surf and turf. Never heard a complaint that was bad about old fisherman Prado, so I will be back with my wife again. Until then try this place.

Food and service were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were lucky enough to get a beautiful window seat, which made the whole experience even better. The service was quick, attentive, and super informative without ever feeling rushed.

It's the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch with a great view. The complimentary appetizer was a really nice touch, and everything we ordered was delicious. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

Recently had dinner at Old Man's Grotto for my best friend's birthday and the food was very tasty. I had a cup of clam chowder and we shared the crab cakes and poke tuna.
My favorite was the soup and the pistachio cheesecake they gave us for her birthday.

Well, clearly, a tourist stop not a bad place for us to have a meal. We stopped there on our way down highway one on our way to San Diego. Food was pretty good and somewhat on the expensive side, but I guess that is to be expected in a touristy area like this. No complaints. The fisherman's wharf was busy with tourists and locals and we would probably try a different place if we were back that way again. Not because it wasn't a decent restaurant, but because we would like another experience and it wasn't the type of place that we just would have to go back to again.

Wow, what an amazing lunch! The service was great and the ambience and views were second to none. Crab was clean and tasty. Salad was perfect from the fried goat cheese to the candied walnuts, and not to mention the dressing was amazing!

Delicious food in a lovely setting. The staff is helpful and friendly. Management trained the waiters well as the waiters can answer any questions about the dishes. We came up Monterey for a 4 day/3 night trip and came to Old Fisherman's Grotto twice. That's how much we liked it. I do wish there were more clams in the clam chowder. Maybe they ran out of clams the night we went.

Excellent choice. Food was wonderful. Staff was amazing! I'll always come here whenever in town!!

The food was great and the staff was very nice and I will definitely go back for that award winning clam chowder.

I usually order the fish and chips, but one of my family members tried the seafood pasta, which I might be misnaming. Regardless, the pasta was definitely delicious. Next time, I will order a plate of pasta for myself. The service was exceptional, and the restaurant's interior is always amazing.
