Enjoyed a great breakfast, with stunning views over Monterey Bay. Restaurant is well laid out with raised booths, allowing clear views for all diners- As an outside guest coming into the hotel for breakfast, we weren't sure what to expect, but the service and food was excellent. It was also the only breakfast option open at 08:30 along Cannery Row,... More

My husband I went here for breakfast and I got the huevos rancheros. Worst food I have ever received. The shrimp tasted off to me, it was super salty and fishy tasting. Fresh sea food DOES NOT taste like this. As the dish cooled down it started to stink pretty bad, I had pushed it to the end of the... More

My husband and I with a family friend went for dinner for my birthday and wedding anniversary. This was my second time there more than a year ago. I was impressed then but this time it exceeded my expectations. Both the food and the service were excellent plus the view is very nice too.

The service at this place was really slow! You would think that on a tourist town they would have great service but not so much. The food was decent, not great. The best thing this place has going is the view.

We had an outstanding dinner with locally caught fish, excellent wines, and gracious service. Our only complaint was that our server became distracted by a large table near the end of our meal. Because of that, we ended up skipping dessert and an after-dinner drink in favor of leaving for a stroll down Cannery Row.

very welcoming greeting from the hostess. still don't know the bartenders name. he was just going through the motions. dropped our check off before we even got our food, so we were closed off before we could even ask for another round. weren't able to splurge here. the service and food did not match the atmosphere and decor. much room...

Have finished 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts here. Service is very slow so be prepared to wait. Food was ok; not the best I have had. Ceviche was very fishy while the steak was very well done when asked for medium. We had the same waiter twice and he is not very informed on the offerings of the restaurant. In... More

Great food, clean and attractive both inside and out. Views of the water from most seats. It is a quite pricey, but unlike most places on Cannery Row I think you are getting what you paid for.

Nice views! Pricey (but not more than the area), we had a very nice brunch here. Helpful, but not fast, service. Don't come in a hurry, plan to share a pot of coffee while you wait for your breakfast!
