We are excited to transform Monterey Bay's best location into the newest, freshest, seafood restaurant. Enjoy an all-new ambiance, waterfront tables, and exciting menu items!

For more than one hundred years, fishing has been a vital part of Monterey’s economy. Monterey’s historic Fisherman’s Wharf with its colorful shops, seafood markets, and flavorful restaurants, is a reflection of that history. Rockfish celebrates Monterey’s fishing tradition and enjoys the Wharf’s most expansive, panoramic views of the working harbor.

Stop by and enjoy a cocktail and our stunning views at the restaurant’s bar and lounge. Our ambiance is casual California and it’s suitable for visitors of all ages. Come see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did!

Our hostess was lovely, but our server was inattentive. We had a beautiful view of the harbor. The food was okay it just seems like there wasn’t much craft involved. To be honest I expected a little more attention to detail. We went there because we wanted to be on the water but next time we are in Monterey we will probably go someplace else.

I did state in the reservation that it was my husband's birthday and expected a cake slice at the end of his dinner, so that was disappointing. We did, however, get a nice view from our table. Appetizers were great (garlic cheese bread and fresh clams). Dinner platters were not impressive to be honest. My husband and father ordered the Fisherman's platter and literally got 1 (stick fish) piece of fish, 3 shrimp, and the rest calamari. And it was all breaded! My fish was okay. I had the mahi mahi special which hardly had any salsa on it with plain tasting mashed potatoes. My daughter did enjoy the clam chowder bowl and my son enjoyed his cheeseburger. My husband got sick later that night and I felt sick when I woke up in the morning (never get a special). Service was impeccable. Staff was very attentive. We are local and went here for the first time. Honestly not sure we would return for the price ($$$), you might as well go to the Grotto. Sorry, but nothing special about this place.

The setting is quite pretty with great water views. The food was average. The servers were pleasant but not attentive. All in all it felt that you’re paying more for its setting on the water and location in a tourist area than for food quality.

Beautiful harbor and ocean view from huge windows in a very attractive newly remodeled restaurant. Great food and excellent service. The fish tacos and shrimp Louie salad were delicious. We watched sea lions and otters play in the harbor and boats passing right by the window. It’s the perfect place for lunch on Fisherman's Wharf!

I’ve dined at Rockfish Harbor Grill several times now in the last six months. It’s location at the end on the Monterey Fisherman’s wharf gives it a great view of the sailboats in the harbor and of the commercial wharf next door. Their special cocktail selections are worth trying. Food is consistently good but not particularly outstanding. Seafood is properly cooked. Service is good and meets my expectations for a restaurant on the tourist wharf. It’s been a great place to meet friends for dinner. Overall it’s a good choice for those who like seafood and want to meet on the wharf.

The food was decent, I liked the crab and artichoke gratin. One of our entrees arrived cold, and when they brought it back out, it was tepid at best. I didn’t bother sending it back again. The staff was friendly, but I wouldn’t come back. Feels like a tourist trap with “just ok” food.

My fiancée and I were ignored by at least four servers who passed by our table after being seated. Yet, they had plenty of time to attend to everyone else who sat down in our section after us. We waited for about 10 to 15 minutes and left. No water, no silverware was even brought to our table. This was our first and last time going to this establishment.

After being seated it took about 20min to get a drink order. Once we got the drink order, we also ordered an app which came out fast but it was greasy. Dinner wasn't that great eater, salad was over dressed, potato's were over garlic and fresh was over cooked and the veggies were over oiled. There were also lots of fly's in the restaurant.

I love this newer restaurant! Ever since Scales closed at the warf, I was unsure that there would ever be a restaurant like it there again. Well, the Rockfish is fantastic! I feel that it’s good value for the food quality, the restaurant is beautiful and, most of all, the staff there is wonderful! If you have the time, it’s worth the visit.
