Old Fisherman's Grotto is an amazing restaurant. From the service to the food, everything is immaculate! The servers are very attentive and provide the best service, whether it's regarding the food, the atmosphere, or even touring tips.
The menu I had ordered off of was for that day's specials, which I will be searching for next time!

We had such a wonderful dining experience with our family tonight, and I just have to share how well we were taken care of. Iman was our server, and he truly made the evening special. He was so kind, friendly, and attentive without ever being overbearing--just the perfect balance. It honestly felt like genuine hospitality, which is becoming such a rare art these days. We genuinely enjoyed his presence and felt so comfortable being in his care.

On top of the incredible service, the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the crab ravioli, half crab, goat cheese salad, and shrimp and cod risotto--every single dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared.

Between the amazing food and Iman's exceptional service, this was such a memorable experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

Also, not pictured but we had the famous clam chowder, the absolute best I've ever had!!

The Old Fisherman's Grotto will be the place I always think about when visiting Monterey. I first fell in love with their creamy clam chowder from their sister business "Fish Hopper" that I had to come back for a sit down dinner at the Grotto. I was seated next to a window with a view of the ocean. All the servers were attentive and kind, I was even greeted by possibly the owner/manager to make sure everything was okay. My server Sal was the absolute best. He was so kind, attentive, polite & always ensured I was doing well. He recommended his favorites and they were all delicious!! Thank you Sal and the staff of Old Fisherman's Grotto. Will be back many many times!

In Monterey went to the old cannery road to go check out what they had. My son really wanted oysters however they didn't sell them by the dozen. They sold them by half the dozen here. The service was really good however, our waiter messed up our drink order twice, and also brought us the wrong food. I don't wanna hold it against them since he was an older gentleman, which is why I only gave them four stars instead of five. The restaurant was kind of muggy and didn't have any circulating air but other than that the food was great when we got it. Amongst the other restaurants that are in this area, I would definitely recommend this one.

It's such a cliche spot but in the most fun way. The food was good with big portions. Service was pretty quick and the server was nice so no complaints there. For how touristy of a spot it is I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food.

Love love love this place!! Every time I am in Monterey I get here at least once!! They are all super friendly especially the manager who is also the owner or owners son.
He took care of us and got us a free app and it was so good!!
The steaks are amazing and you can cut them with a butter knife. We had the ribeye and the filet mignon and both were perfect.
Deserts are huge and also amazing. The crème brûlée was had by one at the table and he said it was the best he has ever had, and this coming from a guy who lives in Europe and sees a lot of crème brûlée. The apple crumb cheese cake was also great,
Can't say enough about how great this place is!!

A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. The warm hospitality of the staff topped off an excellently prepared seafood meal. I had the crab stuffed sole that had a caramelized onion risotto, a bite of which, I refused to leave on my plate despite being stuffed. Great ambiance . Loved decor that was giving tasteful opulence. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area.

Excellent restaurant, superior service!! We are in town for 48 hours and found this plane on Yelp. Our server was funny, informed , kind, and professional. We'll come back again

Most excellent seafood and service
