Great, hidden gem, in Pacific Grove. It doesn't look like much when you approach, but you will be delighted by the excellent quality of the food. You can hit Monterey and pay double (or more) or come here for the exciting and novel ways to make seafood wonderful. I highly recommend the tilapia (I make it at home) and their seafood pasta is so good, we drank the sauce with a spoon. They should make it a soup too. Make a res and come early. Street parking can fill up.

We came to celebrate my husband's 77th birthday and this establishment did not disappoint. From the friendly staff, excellent service, and delicious food, everything was superb. And all the desserts were wonderful. The Creme Brule was one of the best I have had. Thank you all at the Fishwife for a memorable celebration.

My partner and I went there recently and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. I had the sole and she had the calamari steak. Both were delicious. The portions were appropriately sized and the sides of mashed potatoes and veggies were also very good. We had clam chowder to start and it too was delicious. Finished off with blueberry cheesecake, which was fabulous - light and very tasty! We will be back soon!

Friendly, efficient staff. Had sea bass with habanero cream sauce. It was great! The sauce had only a mild tang. Vegetables were cooked perfectly- done but with nice texture and flavors. Has “local” feel in unpretentious building.

As mentioned by other reviewers, the Fishwife is quite near the Asilomar Lodges and the Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove. It doesn't look fancy from the outside, but it makes up for that with the warmth of the staff and the quality of the food inside. We made a reservation and walked over from our Asilomar room (bad GPS directions gave us a TON of extra steps on the wife's Fitbit)! We were greeted warmly by the hostess, who acknowledged our reservation and wished us a Happy Anniversary -- as well as thanking us for spending our anniversary with them. Prices for all menu items were very reasonable. I had the calamari steak - cooked to perfection - and the wife had the shrimp/scallop Baja bowl The bowl included a scoop of rice on one side and a scoop of black beans on the other, plus a selection of steamed fresh, seasonal vegetables -- all seasoned to perfection. All menu items seem to have a Baja flair, which is a fun take on traditional seafood. It seemed there were a lot of regulars there that night, as well as a few travelers, like us. They have 2 large outdoor seating areas under tents, with heaters. It appeared the outdoor service was just as attentive and speedy as indoors. We would highly recommend the Fishwife to anyone in the vicinity who's looking for a good meal with great service!

We were there to celebrate our eldest daughter’s finish of the Big Sur marathon. Service was prompt and friendly. I had the Barramundi and enjoyed it a lot. I believe that I also had the cree brûlée for dessert. My wife and eldest daughter had the rockfish and chips special. My youngest daughter had the shrimp venetto. All enjoyed their food. My wife also had the hibiscus margarita while I had the cucumber mojito. Prices were higher than what we typically find in New Mexico, but not bad for coastal California.

As you walked in the room, you were greeted by the happiest wait staff we’ve met in a long time. Make no mistake thisis not a white linen restaurant. It is cozy and very family oriented. The food was very good especially for what they charged us. We had an extremely pleasant experience and called the manager over at the end of our meal to tell her so. We’re seen this restaurant change ownership several times in the last 30 years, but the folks that own it now pay attention to detail. We will be back!

Genuinely the service was great…and that was it. The cocktails were undrinkable, then both entrees were flavorless and our appetizer was not well prepared. Sad as we had this recommended but it felt like a place that “used to be great” and is now coasting on old stale recipies.

Service was top notch - very friendly, efficient, and professional and rates 5 stars. But the food was sub-par - rates only 1 star. The calamari appetizer was tender but served on brown, old, tiny pieces of cabbage that looked like it belonged in the trash. The clam chowder was too pasty, like too much flour or cornstarch was used to thicken it. The few clams in it were very chewy and not fresh. The Alfredo Combo fettuccine had only 1 big scallop and 1 big shrimp; all the other seafood were tiny pieces. Also the seafood was not fresh. The sole also tasted like it was cooked from frozen, not fresh. We were very disappointed in the quality of the food, since this place was rated so highly on Yelp. We will spend our hard-earned money elsewhere.

Make sure to have a reservation! Small place and constantly people coming in. Food was very good. We had the Caesar salad to share and it was quite large. Mains were Cajun salmon and the seafood Alfredo. Very good sized portions. We were too full to order dessert. Cocktail prices were a bit high we thought. Would come back here.

This used to be one of our favorite spots, but it's been many years since we last visited and unfortunately, it was not what we remembered. The wait staff was friendly and attentive, but the space was crowded, noisy and the food over cooked. There was an outside space, but very wet, cold weather led us to make an indoor reservation. The music was loud and in addition to the close proximity of tables, it was difficult to converse, and after COVID, we felt uncomfortable being that crowded. It's a popular spot and was packed on an early Saturday evening, but it's no longer on our list of 'must visit'.
