I had done a search for the best clam chowder in Monterey and they are at the top of almost every list, and they were right! I got the clam chowder in the garlic sourdough bowl I highly recommend them! My wife, Michele got risotto with caramelized onions, shrimp and sole. We had a view of Monterey Bay and some sea lions playing. Our server, Giovanny, was phenomenal! He brought Michele a piece of complimentary cheesecake and a rose for her birthday. 🌹 I had the chocolate creme brûlée. Great start to our mini-vacay in Monterey!

Our waiter Pablo was amazing!! Food was great service was impeccable! Amazing view and beautiful drinks!

If I were someone who was visiting the Monterey peninsula I will have to say that this is an absolute must the clam chowder here is the you'll get anywhere in California id recommend a bread bowl with calimari but you can't go wrong with any option this an absolute must if you're in Monterey

Everything was top notch from the food to the service! We had the best time dining here and cannot say enough about how tasty the food was. Justino was a wonderful server and took amazing care of us! We already are planning a trip back!

We were at the Wharf and decided to have dinner here. The restaurant was clean, the view was nice, the service was very good (thank you Justino), and the food was very fresh! We got the claim chowder (delicious!) and shared the seafood Cioppino which was a very good serving size. It was hot, the seafood was very fresh, and flavor was perfect! All in all it was a good experience and would recommend this place!

Monterey Pier is a touristy spot. This spot has been a Staple for many years. Great views, vintage look, maybe a bit worn.

Food cam our quickly and hot.
Had the Sand Dabs which were fresh

Servers we nice
I bit of upselling going on but not over the top

Here's a natural, real-sounding version you can post (keeping your voice, just flowing better):



This is my go-to spot every time I come to Monterey. I really love this place. It's always a vibe, the views are beautiful, and the restaurant itself is always well kept.

You can tell this is a family-run business and they take pride in it. The owner is usually there, and I appreciate that. People know him by name and he knows them too, which says a lot about the kind of energy they put into this place.

When I say they have the best clam chowder... it really is the best, hands down. Their sangria is really good, and the crab cakes are always on point. I've tried different things on the menu over the years and honestly haven't had a complaint.

This last time I got the Neptune's platter with grilled shrimp and clam chowder. My husband got the crab cakes and the pear & gorgonzola salad. Everything was good. We had San Pellegrino, my daughter had apple juice, and everything just came together nicely.

Service is always top notch. Whether you sit upstairs or downstairs, it's just a great experience overall.

Definitely our go-to restaurant in Monterey and we'll keep coming back.

Service was excellent and served Giovanni was top notch . Highly recommend this restaurant and view was an added bonus
