Wait staff, food, & view all excellent!

As always the entire experience at Schooners was over the top....the service, the scenery and of course the food was and always is FABULOUS.

Food was excellent and the portions were good. The place is very clean and the staff very courteous. Highly recommended.

Great lunch experience wonderful food drinks and location quite extraordinary.

Great view and service. But my daughter’s hamburger meat was raw. The server was apologetic.

Incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Terrific service and delicious food and drinks. The seafood salad is so fresh and light - perfect for lunch.

Pretty average restaurant. Has a nice view of the Monterey Bay. Indoor and outdoor dining available. We picked this restaurant because it had high ratings and included swordfish. The swordfish on the menu was in a sandwich and a waste of good swordfish. The food was not bad but not nearly as good as the ratings implied. There are many better restaurants in the area.

Easter! Roxanne was great!!

We had a lovely Easter brunch at Schooners. We had a table right by the Bay which was beautiful. We began with the salmon avocado toast which was delicious. I enjoyed the swordfish BLT and my husband raved about the crab eggs Benedict. Service was very attentive and we had a very good meal in a delightful setting.

Celebrated Easter with the family at the Monterey Plaza and we had an amazing time! Brunch meals were delicious and the ambiance was perfect .

I’m hoping to do this again soon. 😊

Awesome dining experience. The view of the ocean cannot be beat.

Great setvice

The outdoor seating isn’t great. Very few tables with a view. Plastic tables and chairs with a $42 entree and $16 glass of wine? Food was good, but I would not go back .

The food was amazing! Everything was perfectly prepared and was delicious. The service fair-we waited 20 minutes for our drinks and one of our food orders was not correct.
The waitress was quite pleasant but not particularly attentive. We were there for a birthday and while other tables received a song and some cheering from the staff we received a simple dessert on a plate. I did not realize most of the staff were gone before we left at 9:45 pm

Food was excellent and great presentation, servers were quick and knowledgeable and outside seating with plenty heat.

Great Experience over all! Highly recommend it. Food was great and service is also very good. Service people are very polite, quick and considerate as well. Being on the ocean is breathtaking.

I was with a party of 7 for a Saturday brunch. Service was exemplary and the location itself makes it a must visit.

The food: 4 found the food to be great, 2 thought their meals were so-so and one was extremely unhappy.

So... I'm local, patronize Schooners for the location understanding the food is pretty much a hit or miss. One other note: Great signature cocktail offerings & fabulous Bloody Marys.

Came here for a brunch date! I made the reservation through OpenTable about 30 minutes before we arrived. Our seats had a gorgeous ocean view. We both ordered the crab bennys and I was so happy there was a gluten free option to sub for the English muffin. The food was 10/10. Can’t wait to return here.

Great place, awesome service, the food was outstanding! The view can't be beat, I would definitely recommend to anyone!

There was no wait for our reservation time. We had a beautiful view. Our meal was delicious. Best halibut I've ever had. The service was excellent.

You really can't find a better view in Monterey! We were lucky to get a table right at the edge of the bay and it was heavenly. The large heat lamp kept us warm on a spring night, and their great selection of cocktails and wine helped as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our food - the short ribs were tender and flavorful, and Swordfish BLT was delicious. But the VIEW and atmosphere stole the show!

Amazing. Otters frolicking right in front of us. I would have loved it if the food was bad, but it was great, as was the service.

They allowed us to book an 11:30 table for 4 but there was no one present to let us in after a 20 minute wait.... we had purposely booked at 1130 to make it on time for another scheduled event at 1 and had to scramble for lunch at another place last minute. Super unprofessional to allow us to book if they were not seating at that time.

Great spot, would recommend a few more options food wise but otherwise great place

Service and ambiance was just ok and the food was a bit pricey, but the seafood cioppino was delicious!

Server came by first time...then at the end for the check.

We ordered a steak and braised ribs- when the food came to our table I had to ask what was what because they were drenched in gravy. The ribs looked like crock pot ribs and the food definitely didn’t taste like $125.00 worth. The service was amazing and the environment was spectacular. I would definitely come back but I wouldn’t order the same food again!

Great dinning experience with best Cioppino ever!

Great location - as close to the ocean as it gets, with beautiful views of the Monterey Bay, the seals, seagulls.
Very nice setting and professional service. Very nice food.
Loved it!

It was our first getaway in over a year to Monterey! We had dined there in 2019! It was a nice couple of days in the area.

Great service. Great view. We had brunch and the food was delicious.

Grat views. Eggs poached to perfection!

We had such a great breakfast here. The service was attentive and friendly. The ambiance was incredible. We sat on the outdoor patio next to the glass wall with endless views of the ocean. The food was great, we look forward to dinner here next time.

The tables are way too small. square tables are maybe 18" x 18". Hardly space to put two plates of food, appetizers and drinks. Nobody likes a cramp table. The servers weren't smiling at all. Overall not a good vibe. The bus boys were the BEST. He came around for water and talked to us and wished my husband happy birthday. We enjoyed him very much.

Our food was very good. However, the dining area was extremely noisy due to loud talking by patrons, wait staff banging dishes, children allowed to run all over the area screaming. It seemed that everyone talked louder to try to be heard over all the noise. We could hardly hear each other at our table. Wait staff mediocre.

I booked a reservation for my husband, myself, and our 17 month daughter. My husband got their skillet chillaquiles and he said they were good, and I got the Eggs Benedict and loved my meal.

We were seated at a very nice spot, and the service was outstanding.

We love Schooners, we eat here everytime we come. Great breakfast and bloody Marys. The special dinner for my husband's birthday was delicious, the food was cooked to perfection, the service was fantastic.
Highly recommend Schooners ❤️

All was good but too cold on the outdoor patio. Didn’t turn on heaters until someone asked & still needed more

Outstanding views! Seafood of the day outstanding as well as roasted vegetables and Schooners Maritime Manhattan. Would highly recommend.
