   Good so so. Burger excessively greasy as were spring rolls. Salmon was good. Overall, very expensive for quality. Go somewhere else

   I’m a local & love this spot, but won’t go back for anything more than drinks & appetizers. Lunch: Service was very slow: Too few servers working for the number of clients booked. Those working did their best to hustle. Of 4 meals ordered, 1 in our party was satisfied, and 1 didn’t get what was ordered so that meal was comped. They other 2 ordered hamburgers & they were mediocre at best. When the order was placed, requesting medium rare, the server stated the kitchen only cooks burgers medium to well. Informed by a friend in the restaurant business: A sign that low quality beef is served and/or the restaurant cooks at medium to well to insure out of date beef is cooked enough to kill potential bacteria.

    Service was very good and so was the food. Although we arrived a bit early for lunch (they were still serving breakfast) they still seated us and allowed us to wait inside. It was a lot better than walking around outside and loosing our place in line.

    The service was excellent. We happen to be blessed with a beautiful, warm, sunny day that made the setting even more spectacular. I have been here many times and enjoyed a variety of dishes, but I have to say the tempera shrimp and "papaya" salad was disappointing. One very small strand of papaya should not be called a papaya salad. I will order something different next time.

    The seafood pasta had the wrong pasta and the seafood was mushy like it had been frozen. I would offer it in a white wine and garlic sauce with a thinner noodle and fresh seafood. The clam chowder was great!

    The restaurant sits on the ocean for nice views... we had a party of seven, we didn't have great seating. The food was ok.. and the service was horrible. The waitress was rude and didn't refill our drinks timely, had to ask a couple times. I felt like we were almost discriminated to be honest. I would recommended Fish Hopper off of Cannery Row, better service, views and food.

    We had a late lunch at Schooners, and it was amazing! Seated on outdoor patio with amazing view of harbor. As for food, started with West Coast Oysters on Half Shell (10/10), Clam Chowder (8/10), Cioppino (8/10). All great selections!

    Think that for price and overall value of meal, a "side" dish would have been good to include with sandwiches; did appreciate the special desert provided for fathers day/anniversary. Could have also included more of a non-alcoholic drink menu.

    We were seated outdoors as requested, but boy howdy, it was chilly… despite the heaters! So Brian, the manager, graciously found us indoor dining. Zabdiel, our waiter was attentive, if not a little busy. Everyone loved the food and we all left happy!

    Best view of Monterey Bay to enjoy drinks and lunch...right on the edge of the water. Doc's Mai Tai and the Patio Boss Margarita are top-notch, as are the shrimp cocktail and pulled pork sandwich. Thoughtful wait staff allowed us to hang out for two hours, to take in the gorgeous view and a quiet late afternoon. Can't wait to return!

    Thoroughly enjoyable! I had my daughter and three grandchildren (11 yrs and younger) and couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience. Our server was friendly and very accommodating. He persuaded the bartender to make a virgin pina colada for my grandson which was not something they usually make and it was a hit! The food was wonderful and our view of the bay magnificent.

    I specified outside table using Open Table. Showed up for reservation, and was asked "indoor or outdoor", told the host outdoor, the waited 5 minutes for the outdoor table that I had already reserved. Also, got text message prior stating "your table is ready". Also, table was dirty, seats dirty, and located in a 'wind tunnel. Food okay, bar drinks were pricey and week. Reminding myself to skip Schooners.

    It was very disappointing! Both food and service were really poor! We went there to celebrate our anniversary, but we had to leave soon to not destroy all of our night. The server clearly didn't care and kept making excuses. The food was mediocre and not tasty at all.

    The patio was empty but they would not accommodate our seating requests when they had done some others. Food was good, table service was too. But seating and reception staff was the worst.

    Schooners used to be our favorite restaurant to take our family and out-of-town guests. It's gone downhill over the last few years-here's why: the menu has drastically changed and downsized. We used to love a certain salad (can't recall the name) and veggie burgers. They now have neither. The vegetarian/vegan options are slim. Secondly, the ambiance has changed for the worse. There was plastic over the patio and the tables were against the wall, therefore...not a great view of the water, which was the whole point. In addition, there was a speaker directly behind one of our guests, and screaming kids. I'm not sure I'd go here anymore unless it reverted back to its charming self.
