This place does not disappoint. Their clam chowder still taste like home 30+ years later. As a child my parents would take us here and have some clam chowder. And whenever I visit my parents I try and make an effort to stop here.

Service as always was great! I brought a few cans home. And they said it tasted about 95% like the fresh one they serve. Will definitely add my comments to my post once I make it.

But in all seriousness if you love your clam chowder creamy. This is the place!

Went there for dinner and ordered their famous clam chowder -- it never disappoints, always really good. Also had the crab ravioli with a strawberry lemonade. Altogether, a satisfying dinner.

Oh my goodness, what a dinner experience to remember and for all the right reasons. Greeted by a nice guy who, although we had no booking, told us he’d get us a table. Got a lovely table overlooking the water and as we ate, we watched the sun go down 😍. As for the dinner, absolutely fabulous. I had crab cakes and pear and Gorgonzola salad, my husband had oysters and the halibut special while my son had calamari and shrimp pasta. Absolutely beautifully fresh and amazing tasting food. A half bottle of wine (25% discounted!) and a few cokes, all in, just over $200. This evening has restored my faith in customer service (thank you Reuben), food and Monterey. A restaurant in Carmel almost ruined our Monterey experience last night. Hopefully you see this and take note of how things should be done.

Great clam chowder, a little pricey. It was ok overall. The location on the pier is fun. Lots to look at and some cute shops.

Great old school restaurant on the pier. I was worried it would be a tourist trap, but contrary to other reviews, it wasn't. It had a cozy warm ambiance. Service was excellent. We enjoyed our server Iman. All entrees were perfect. We also enjoyed the raspberry cheesecake. Would definitely come again when visiting the area.

I had a great experience at Fisherman's Grotto. The food was fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere was pleasant with a classic Fisherman's Wharf vibe. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed throughout our meal. The portions were perfect and everything arrived hot, fresh and well prepared. If you're looking for a relaxing seafood dinner with great service this is definitely worth a visit! I would happily come back again.

Service was amazing. Our server was great. Pictured is the crab tower and a cup size of clam chowder. FYI they also have a small stand next to the restaurant that sells the clam chowder and also in can to make at home. Along with other small sides.
Not pictured is the side bread with butter that compliments the clam chowder nicely.
Right before we left the server gave us roses which was a nice touch. They made it all the way back home lol.

Great service celebrated my partners birthday food and service exceptional definitely would recommend.

What a beautiful place! Located right by the waterfront, this restaurant offers a wonderful setting for a relaxing meal.
The seafood was fresh and absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed it with a very good bottle of wine. Our waiter was friendly, funny, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
The atmosphere was truly special and made for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great seafood and a fantastic dining experience.
