Excellent food and service. Outside of the restaurant facing the water is dilapidated and an eyesore.

The location on the wharf, the beautiful atmosphere, excellent food and great service!

Very delicious! Would definitely return. Everything was such an amazing experience. Our waiter was very nice and attentive.

Fantastic restaurant on all levels — delicious food, varied menu, superb service, simply lovely ambiance. Consistently excellent. Our
Go-to place in the Wharf!

Old Fisherman’s Grotto is a long time favorite of ours for celebrations. The halibut, sole and crab dishes we ordered were all excellently prepared. Isaias and other staff make sure that you will enjoy your meal. Consistently, a true gem in the Monterey area.

Our son took us here for my birthday lunch today and from the time we walked in until the time we left it was five star. Our waiter Miguel, was spot on and our food was the best Seafood we’ve had in a long time. I had the crab raviolis, and my husband had coconut shrimp. They were both so good We can’t wait to go back.

The calamari at this restaurant is the best I have ever tasted. Their clam chowder is award-winning and truly deserves the recognition; it’s creamy and packed with clams and potatoes. We all shared the rib-eye, which was also one of the finest I’ve had—flavorful and incredibly tender. The service was top-notch as well. This restaurant has been the best in Monterey for many years and deservedly so!

Very nice seafood restaurant. Great views, service and food. They gave a long stem rose to each lady at the conclusion of dinner.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner here during our trip to Monterey and Old Fisherman’s Wharf. My husband enjoyed the delicious Crab Ravioli and I found the Clam Chowder Bread Bowl to be one of the best I have had. The sourdough bread bowl was fresh and warm and complimented the Monterey Clam Chowder perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive. We did have a water view spot which was a plus. Definitely worth a meal here when in Monterey.

I selected this place for a business meal as it was right on the water and had very high ratings. It did not disappoint. The views were spectacular, and the food was also excellent. The wine selection was actually fairly good as well and everyone had a fantastic time. It's obviously been around for a while, but the wait staff was great, and I would certainly go back.

One thing to note is it also had steaks and other things in addition to just seafood. So they really appear to be something for everyone.
