From the outside this looks like a small average restaurant,but the menu is very extensive and the food was fantastic. We spent about $30 per person, including a drink. Only disappointment - the tarrimisu (sp?) was poor.

My husband and I finished up a long, beautiful California Coast vacation in Monterey. We were looking for a great seafood restaurant to finish off the trip. We looked to trip advisor and trust the reviews... this place was incredible! They are open 11:30- 2:30 then re-open 5-9pm. I suggest showing up early and waiting in line. There were at...

This restaurant was awesome! Do make reservations because it fills up fast. My husband and I had the crab cake for appetizer and it was soooo good and filling. It had no bread filling at all. Just crab and maybe cream cheese. Excellant! We then went for the seafood pasta special which had clams, oysters scallops and shrimp in a...

Everything, their oysters are the best. Service is superior. Must make a reservation. Option order your food to go and have dinner on the beach.
The Monterey Fish House was recommended to us by a friend, also the concierge at our hotel. We were not disappointed. The staff, service and food were excellent. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Given the popularity of this place, people were queuing out of the door the time we went, it's remarkable things run as smoothly as they do. The maitre d' has things unobtrusively under control and it's fascinating to watch everything falling into place.
The food was well cooked and the service staff very hard working. This is not the place...

We always look forward to our meals there...

After going to a very expensive restaurant the prior night, this restaurant's food was just as good and the prices were much friendlier to the pocketbook! I had the fresh salmon from Monterey Bay blackened and it was excellent! The only thing I did not enjoy was the iced tea as it tasted old to me. They did not charge...

The people aka tourists are queueing, but for what? The recommendations were very expensive compared to the quality of the food. We were disappointed. And the bill was almost 3 digits: 2 mains, 2 Starter, 2 beer, 1 dessert. The ambiente is kinda fun, but thats it.
Maybe it was what I ordered (crab ravioli) but that was just okay. The crab cake appetizer was very good. My husband had the seared halibut and said it was okay. This is a noisy place and it's hard to have a conversation. The service was excellent with very pleasant staff. Because it was a warm day the back door...
