Excellent place for Fish ! Fresh fish. We tried the fish fry and the sea bass. Succulent and well prepared. Fried Zucchini was one of the best we have had. The cook who is also the owner is a wonderful man and has been having this place for 38 years ! He is writing a book on Kindle. We will surely be back. Excellent coffee too !

Best location, amazing italian food. Dominic, the owner, is super sweet and all the staff too. We had the best dinner and lunch there. Their gluten free pasta was delicious also. (On the picture is not gluten free)

We made last minute reservations online. When we arrived the server greeted us and we knew we’d made a good choice for Easter dinner. She showed us to our table right on the water view.

Delicious‼️ Very selective as I am a home chef with a refined pallet but let me tell you, this was great‼️ Came recommended by boat rental gal (good to always ask locals). We tried a prickly pear margarita omgee, yes‼️ New fav‼️ The roasted Gilroy garlic with feta, olives & crostinis were a delight then on to the entree, we both were in the mood for calamari, perfect choice. The veggies were cooked & seasoned perfectly, the orzo rice was very flavorful with his homegrown tomatoes that are surprisingly excellent! The calamari steak was not only a huge portion (thank goodness cause leftovers were great today!) But is one of the best I’ve ever had to date. Tender with lots of flavor and light breading, not oily. We enjoyed our meal and service very much and highly recommend you experience this for yourself. The only regret was we had no room for the delicious looking desserts with coffee…next time! ❤️

Great food! Had traditional paella and prawn scampi. The highlight is the mushroom in the prawn scampi, so tasty and umami! Nice view by the bay as well – remember to make a reservation to sit closer to window!

We stopped here for a late lunch hoping for fresh seafood and a view of the bay. Both were accomplished! I had the sanddabs, which were very lightly breaded and had a delicious cream sauce. My boyfriend had the mixed seafood grill which had two large skewers filled with swordfish, prawns, salmon and calamari. We shared the entrees, and couldn’t decide which was our favorite as they were both amazing. The orzo pasta and vegetables were a nice side. I had the Cafe Fina chardonney, which comes from a local winery. It complimented the meal well. A bonus was that they seated us next to the windows in the back. We enjoyed a nice view of the boats coming into the bay during our meal. This was our favorite restaurant in Monterey Bay, and we plan to stop here again if we come back to the area.

Staff were very accommodating and although the food was a little late it was delicious. For a place thats so touristy and overcrowded, I was surprised it did so well. I would recommend the Sardines and the Dungeoness crab . The pino grigio was definitely a chardonnay and not a pino grigio though

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary over the weekend. We were looking for a special place to dine, we had a hard time choosing from so many options in the area until we saw the reviews of this place and decided to give it a shot!

We came here during New Year’s eve. The staff was very nice and friendly. We ordered grilled seafood, grilled sardine, and seafood paella. Everything was good except for the mussels in the paella: it’s somehow not fresh and three of them were bad already…
