We had a window table which made our visit exactly what we had hoped for, a beautiful view of the boats, wildlife, and ocean. The food was very good and the prices were comparatively lower than surrounding restaurants. It was great for a memorable, special Mother's Day.

Open Table's reservation process was straightforward and worked without a hitch. We were seated at a table where we could see the boats in the marina. Our waiter was efficient and personable, and very attentive without being obsequious.The food was well-presented and tasty and the portions were just right. We enjoyed the evening very much.

Great view of the Monterey harbor and excellent service provided by our server Arturo. Excellent oysters Rockefeller, snapper, bacon-wrapped scallops, and topped-off by a generous-sized creme brulee. All the fish was fresh, and the sides of veges and risotto were nicely done.

Food and service were good and prompt. Seafood was fresh. We had the calamari, oysters on the half shell, sand dabs, and abalone. We especially like the abalone. Our server Jorge was great, funny, and friendly. The other staff was good, too. The views of the bay and the full moon were wonderful. The only down side is that with the wooden ceiling, the restaurant can be noisy when the place is full.

Beautiful view and clean atmosphere. Food was amazing! Clam chowder bowls were fresh, bread bowls were hot and cooked perfectly. Pasta was great and cooked good as well.
