Delicious food and excellent service. Roxanne was our server. She was great!

Great service and very dog friendly.

We've been frequent diners at Cafe Fina over the past 25 years--first as visitors and now as residents on the Peninsula. We had two special guests visiting from the Midwest--a couple of "world-traveler foodies" on a quest for the best Cioppino during their quick trip to Monterey. We took them to Cafe Fina and they were beyond happy with the choice. The Seafood Paella was also well-received!

The window-side tables at Fina are glorious, with a view of the quiet side of the bay.
Our favorite spot on Monterey's Fisherman wharf to take visitors.

Really good food ! , server Heidi was amazing !. Definitely coming back.

Very good dishes with super fresh seafood. Excellent, attentive service. Nice view of the harbor. Well worth a visit.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Café Fina . The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere quaint, and so inviting we felt we were part of family Our server was extremely knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations on food specials and wines.

We made an early reservation and was able to sit by the window. The views of the harbor were beautiful. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was fast. I ordered the crab and it was yummy and fresh.

The restaurants have gotten hit hard with the shutdowns and I hope you will support them. They are doing everything they can to keep your eating environment clean and healthy.

Excellent meal, ambiance and service! We had a window seat overlooking the water and it was a really lovely lunch.

Great server, thanks Dominic

Great personalities and very good food and service, combined with fair prices and good ambiance.

Overall restaurant was good but not what I expected. I was looking for a more intimate atmosphere to celebrate Easter. This restaurant is on Fisherman's wharf with lots of people walking by. (With Covid we wanted to eat outside). Food was good but not great. I got the fish & chips that tasted fresh & was well cooked. My husband the pasta with homemade sausage. Pasta was cooked al dented & sausage was well seasoned and tasted homemade. I was hoping it would be more upscale- my bad for not realizing.

Classic Monterey restaurant! Food and service were fabulous and we enjoyed watching the sea otters splashing around, too.

Amazing service. Definitely will return!

Authentic Italian in iconic setting owned by one of the Peninsulas best.

Best Italian food I have had. Good service, generous cocktails. In house wine.

We spent out anniversary dinner at Cafe Fina and it was fantastic. Our food was delicious and our waiter was great! We even got complimentary spumoni to celebrate our special day. We will be back!

Great!!!!!!!

The service was excellent. Very friendly staff. The pizza was good, but the pasta was just fair. It's a tourist place and the prices reflect that.

Good food for a good price - great cocktails and nice dessert selection.

My partner and I arrived early to our reservation time and were seated immediately. The outdoor seating is very cozy, they have wind breakers around the patio and outdoor heaters! Our waiter, Jorge, was attentive and very friendly! The calamari and seafood paella was delicious. We will definitely be coming back next time we visit Monterey!

We loved the location and food.,

The best place on the pier. I will go here always

My husband and I had a fabulous dinner at Cafe Fina on 2/13/21. We were unsure about booking a place for dinner on the wharf because of how cold it is. We were happy when we were seated next to a clear plastic wall which blocked the wind. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. I had lobster that was cooked perfectly and my husband had a tasty NY steak. Our meals came with orza and fresh vegetables. We were very pleased with our dinner and the outstanding service. We will definitely come back to eat here when we are in Monterey. Jorge was an exceptional waiter.

Great food, was early for reservation and was seated immediately. Fast, friendly service.

We were allowed to book a table for this restaurant last Wednesday for lunch.
The restaurant was not open on Wednesday AND
no restaurant in Monterey County is open for outside dining.
We ordered take out from another restaurant of the Wharf

The restaurant has some tables out front to allow for Covid restrictions. They have heaters, too, but it’s tough to have any real ambiance or to be warm enough in the middle of winter on Fisherman’s Wharf. The service was excellent - our waitress was very attentive and friendly. Our food was generally pretty good. It’s hard to get steamed crab wrong but the other meals were plenty good. Just overpriced, IMO, but one must realize they are going to pay extra when eating in such a touristy spot.

Food was ok for the price. Definitely a tourist trap.

Clam Chowder was outstanding. So far the best on the wharf!

Great service, good food. Need more heating lamps for outdoor dining.

friendly staff, great service

The calamari and the sand dabs are right out the bay. Wonderfully fresh and tasty!

I remembered this place as a lovely restaurant on the pier with white table clothes. Now it’s mainly pizza and a few fish dishes. We left after an appetizer. Perhaps a victim of Covid.

Food and service were wonderful. Enjoyed speaking to the owner. Happy we could give out business to them.

Roxanne was the best. My partner and I had an incredible anniversary dinner at Cafe Fina. I plan on visiting again.

We had an excellent private dinner experience despite covid. Delicious entrees, appetizers, and dessert. I highly recommend this establishment.

We were outside due to COVID so I'm sure an indoor experience would be nicer. The food and service were great and we will be back again.

This was our first time back to Cafe Fina in 10 years, and it is as good as we remember. The only hiccup in an otherwise perfect evening was the creme brulee. When torching the sugar on the top, the chef over-burned it to the point that it had a charcoal taste. Someone tried to cover up this misstep by piling a huge mound of whipped cream on the top. Awful. The custard itself was perfection, so they should have just pulled the burnt sugar layer off and re-torched it.

Best seafood around. Try the sandabs local caught.
Reasonably priced wine list. These people care for their guests.
I would go back anytime!!!

Cafe Fina is a go to place for us. The staff is outstanding and the food is always good. Fun place also.

Traveling with our dogs. Our dogs got to sit with us. The staff was so good to our dogs. We had a great time.
