    busy night; lots of patrons. Food was a bit rushed; high quality but temperature off and seasoning too light ; steak was outstanding. Fish quite fresh. Waiter was trying his best but couldn't really keep up. For the $$, probably fine on any other night.

    Second time here. Last time came for the evening vibe and today for the daytime vibe. Great views and delicious food that’s perfectly portioned and seasoned. Got my crab fix. Cocktails are yummy too! Excellent service both times.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Dominico's. We were seated at what I thought was the best table in the restaurant with beautiful views of the harbor. Our waiter was excellent and his menu recommendations were spot on. We loved everything from start to finish. We will definitely return the next time we are in Montrrey.

    Terrific food from start to finish. We’re a little hesitant about this being a tourist trap, but inside, a very stylish and quiet restaurant with a phenomenal view. Impeccable, friendly service from our waiter, Zane. A home run!

    This is the second time we have been to Domenico’s while visiting Monterey. My husband and I went on a Friday evening. I had the Cioppino and he had the planked salmon. Both of our meals were delicious and were served piping hot, and well presented. The view from our window seat was gorgeous. Service was excellent, we were well attended , but never felt rushed.. We ended up staying for over two hours because we were enjoying ourselves so much. We highly recommend Domenico’s and will go there again next time we are in Monterey.

    We made reservations for a birthday dinner and we were very well taken care of from the moment we arrived. The waiter made very thoughtful recommendations and our water classes were never empty. The squid starter was amazing and bacon wrapped scallops were cooked perfectly. To top everything off they surprised the birthday girl with a free desert and song.
