You should try the abalone bisque because I've never seen it anywhere else. Tasty with strong bacon taste and they chop the abalone very very fine to make it less chewy.

The Italian Trio dessert was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Excellent homemade spumoni and tiramisu, and very good cannoli too.

Great food. Incredible service. Amazing atmosphere / ambiance. Highly highly recommend this place.

Try the Fresh Berries - Not a vegan restaurant but chef made it vegan fresh and I felt the love - this was dessert and I am guessing right out of the field down the highway! Wow

Unique experience of absolutely tasteless seafood. And please don't even try their oysters - it will ruin your friendship with those tender creatures. Bread - yes, take bread :)

Scallops over polenta was absolutely delicious! Service was high level, Daniel really took care of us.

James is amazing. Best server ever. Amazing food. My favorite place in Monterey.

The abalone bisque, steamed clams, and calamari were standouts on an awesome menu. Props for serving a Moscow Mule in a proper copper mug.

Great for a date night or a very special occasion. The abalone is excellent.

Sardines: they're not only delicious but good for you. Find The Sardine Factory's recipe for smoked sardine salad in Lidia's Italy in America.

Great food and atmosphere. Best Wine Cellar on the West Coast. The seating in the glass Conservatory is stunning!

The most tasty food - complementary olives and bread. Don't even think about ordering big seafood plate. Oysters were ok, lobster and prawns didn't gave taste at all, squid was over-marinated.

Scallops and dessert! Don’t waste time with the appetizers 🤤

Just had drinks here. Friendly bartender despite being in the weeds all night.

Don't come here to eat. However the place itself is nice, staff is friendly. Having a cocktail here may be a good thing. But don't eat!!!!

Love to hang out in the bar to listen to David Conley.

Lovely restaurant with not so memorable food. My dinner there was a pricey, so-so experience.

Calamari is so good!

Read the review about the scallops, but decided on the wild salmon instead. Wish I'd listened to the scallop review!!

The bowls of soup are huge, so stick with a cup if you plan on having a big entree

Fantasic prix fix menu. Ask for a table in the Captain's Room for something quieter.

Get the mango sorbet in the ice swan. It hard to decide which is better - the taste or th fact that you're eating ice cream out of an ice sculpture.

The best steak in town!!

Best scallops ever. Sit in the conservatory, stunning.
Hal WymanApril 9, 2014
The abalone is worth it.

Sorbet is great

Not too hungry? Split a salad and an entree- the perfect amount of food.

Been here 5+ times
Pri fixe is all day Sunday and Monday, great deal.
