Restaurants near Portola Hotel & Spa

Every time we go to Monterey we go to Old Fisherman's Grotto. Very consistent, huge portions, impeccable service - overall , just a great evening out. They gave us an appetizer tasting platter complimentary for being a VIP

Great ambiance and attention to detail. Service was okay,although it took several minutes to get salt delivered for seasoning. Steak ordered medium was delivered rare, but the food was overall very good.

Warm welcome with great views over the marina Varied menu and friendly staff Food was enjoyable, perhaps slightly expensive but given the tourist nature of Monterey, somewhat expected Would return

The Patrale Sole was excellent and the service was impecable. The wine was a little on the expensive side.

Best calamari ever! Other food was good. My daughter, often a picky eater, said it was the best meal ever. Timing of the food was a little off. Waitress had to ask questions a few time and had to correct the order a few time but she was friendly and got things right in the end.

My paella was surprisingly spicing and I have a very low tolerance for spicy. I did survive the meal and would ask for significantly less spiciness next time. My wife's baby back ribs were outstanding.

We went with a large group and the food and beer were great. I am picky and this place delivered. Try the lamb burger!

Pleasant setting with comfortable seating. Polite, attentive servers. Food choices limited, but well prepared, if not extremely imaginative. Excellent coffee. Reasonable value. Would return for breakfast when starting a day near Custom house Plaza.

As locals, this is our favorite place to eat. Good food and service and best view anywhere. Great deserts too.

Great atmosphere and food would visit again when in town
