   Probably the most famous eatery in Monterey's Cannery Row, this is a must visit for us anytime we visit the area. We are never disappointed in the food or the service. This visit was extra special as they accommodated a special wish to dine in the wine cellar! The white jumbo prawn cocktail was great. My husband loves the abalone medallions, and I chose the sea scallops. The mushroom risotto that accompanied both our meals was amazing just loaded with a variety of yummy fungi. A must have dessert for us is the chocolate dipped bon bons with dipping sauce and chopped peanuts. The presentation on this is awesome. Our server Dylan and the rest of the staff were terrific. Put this on your list for your next visit to the area.

   We had a lovely time at Sardine factory celebrating our wedding anniversary. Very attentive service and comfortable atmosphere. The one off-putting thing that happened was that they brought us a surprise anniversary dessert at the end of our meal and charged us for it. I am not used to be charged for things I did not order. So just check with them on what they bring to your table if you're celebrating a special occasion.

   The ambience, the food and the service was wonderful!! My husband and I shared the tomahawk ribeye dinner. Although  a little pricey, it was worth it!  Will definitely be back back!

   We followed the hostess to the jaw dropping conservatory where we were seated for our dinner. We were promptly greeted by staff and given the outstanding wine list. This restaurant includes the service of a sommelier to assist you with your wine selection! The complementary dinner rolls and bread sticks were delicious! Antonio, our server brought us our delicious Alaskan salmon dinner and was very attentive. The restaurant staff never let our water glasses go empty. I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable dining experience!

   Food, service, ambience - all excellent. Oysters on the half shell, clam chowder, butter fish, and carrot cake were excellent.

   The perfect evening. My girlfriend had one of her best restaurant experiences. It was my 5th time there and it was her first. She was very impressed with the staff and food. I made a small request before I came and the restaurant delivered this request for me when we arrived. I was so impressed and she was surprised from it. It just made it a very romantic evening for us both. This restaurant goes above a beyond for their customers. Worth every dollar! Thank you Sardine Factory! Mahalo!

    Love listening to David Conley the pianist. He is fabulous! Every song he plays is know and recognizable. Does the best rendition of Secret Agent Man you have ever heard. Great atmosphere and of course the food is terrific.
