    The four diners at our table thought the food was “good”, just not exemplary, for a place that claims to be the best in Monterey. We were slightly disappointed. My plate was served barely warm. Service was excellent. Wine was reasonably priced at about 110%. Regrettably, we won’t return.

    Actual sardine salad, cheese bread to die for & sole for entree. The wine cellar has an exquisite collection and very comparable to Bern’s Steakhouse in Tampa. Food was par excellence and service was very attentive without being overboard. We’ll be back to Monterey soon !!

    Didn't live up to the reviews I read. The service was poor. I had to ask someone to bring my server to the table. The menu was very pricy and honestly, it wasn't terribly inviting. The ambience is more appropriate for an older age group. Perhaps it's lost on me, but I regret booking a table here.

    Great food (we had lobster tail and abalone). Captain’s room was quiet, despite the piano player at the bar. We stopped and listened to the piano player, who was eventually joined by another singer and a guitar player. They were so good and we had such a great time, we stayed and listened until they stopped playing.

    Wow! I was really afraid this place was a tourist trap that would serve me Captain Ds on a plate (like the other restaurants on Cannery Row). I was completely wrong! This is fine dining by every meaning: the food, service, and ambiance. Our waiter Brandon was FANTASTIC, very personable and knowledgeable. All the staff was very pleasant. The food was AMAZING and the dessert was out of this world. Of all the places we’ve been to in Carmel and Monterey, this was hands down the best. 11 out of 10 stars!!

    Abalone bisque is so unique & special to this restaurant and a must order! We had their Lobster Raviolis, very full of lobster with light cream sauce, a generous portion & beyond our expectations. My hubby had filet, very tender and sired nicely for crust on edges. Dessert was mousse semifreddo chocolate & passion fruit, light & delicious with beautiful presentation.

    First time at Sardine Factory, but won’t be the last. Celebrating my birthday and I had the huge 16oz Prime Rib, delicious. I couldn’t eat half of it. My husband had the salmon, said it was the best ever! Our waiter, Brandon surprised me with delicious birthday dessert. We closed the evening in the bar which had a great piano player. I ordered a Pink Sardine, yummy and a Strawberry Lemon drop. Great evening and end to my birthday celebration.

    My husband and I were at the Sardine Factory to celebrate our 41st, wedding anniversary. We had dinner at this restaurant back in 1982, on our honeymoon. The food was delicious in 1982, and maybe even better 41 years later. Our meal and the service was superb. Our waitress Jennifer recommended the Parmesan-Crusted Calamari Steak, Scallop & Prawns Chive risotto, sautéed asparagus, lemon-caper sauce. And oh my God she was correct the food was totally off the chain! Plus, the Sommelier Nicole recommended an excellent wine pairing. From start to finish, the staff at the Sardine Factory treated us like royalty. I highly recommend this restaurant. Plus, to our surprise, when we were finished dining, our waitress called our hotel shuttle service, and the luxury car and driver were there waiting to take us back to The Monterey Plaza. Shout out to the The Monterey Plaza Hotel for their excellent free luxury shuttle service. Thank you to the staff at the Sardine Factory. Our night and dinner couldn’t have been better.

    A mid-century modern experience! The escargot was a garlicy bite, crab stuffed mushrooms were tasty but the star of the eve was the abalone. Pounded thin, lightly dredged in flour and sautéed to perfection, a very generous serving, fork tender. The corn risotto and artichoke added a very nice balance. Our server, Mauro, was a true professional, not intrusive and very knowledgeable.

    So this restaurant was a truly disappointing experience. I do NOT recommend to anyone who is looking for a good meal. It’s resting on it’s past laurels. Cheese bread was bad. Lobster ravioli was all sauce and inedible. Waiter was trying too hard. Plus the landscape needed attention. Water your plants and clean up the entrance!!

    Dining in the Atrium Room leads to a feeling of quiet elegance and was the perfect setting for celebrating my husband’s birthday. With Mario as our server all our dinner choices were served with impeccable timing between courses. We began with cocktails and an appetizer of crab filled baked mushrooms, also a complimentary bread basket, after which we enjoyed one entrée of Prime Rib (available only on Friday and Saturday) with another speciality entree of Bouillabisse (fish stew) which my husband proclaimed “the best I’ve ever eaten.” To complete our meal we ordered a dessert of 3 Chocolate Dipped Ice Cream “Bonbons” accompanied with caramel dipping sauce and chopped peanuts, as well my husband was presented with a delicious complimentary birthday dessert. We’re fortunate to live in close proximity to The Sardine Factory, where we choose this fine dining restaurant again and again. Jim & Helen

    We went for our anniversary dinner. First thoughts were that for a restaurant with such a reputation should have impeccably dressed staff. Black jeans? Not professional. The staff was great and friendly. I had lobster tail that was tough and barely warm. My husband said his prime rib was good but average. We felt rushed from the start. Bad enough we could only get in for early dinner but as soon as we ordered and wine was poured out came our salad. The sec.our salad was done plate was rushed away and ten min we were served dinner! We were in and out in one hour! I’ll never eat there again. The place is gorgeous but so is our home. The food was just food not excellent and at home we aren’t rushed out. We ordered a bottle of wine expecting to be there enjoying but ended up taking half home. I’ve eaten in many restaurants in Carmel/Monterey area and for us this was a $300.00 oops! Sorry Sardine factory, you need to step it up.

    Our expectations were very high - we drove from SF to Monterey to experience something extraordinary and overall we were disappointed. The first course - octopus - was recommended by the staff and was good but not extraordinary. My wife ordered a steak filet Mignon and it was too dry and the vegetable not as fresh as one could expect. My ravioli with lobster was fine. In total the value for money was not as expected.

We ordered the crab stuffed mushrooms (probably could’ve skipped these), scampi rigatoni (homemade pasta!), and the Parmesan crusted calamari steak with scallops and prawns - this was so good and memorable!

    Sardine Factory is a Perfect place for everyone, whether you’re looking for ambiance, class, comfort, sumptuous dishes, excellent and friendly restaurant staffs AND chef! The place caters to family, groups of friends like us, and frequent city visitors/tourists. This is a fabulous place to celebrate special events such as birthdays like my friend shared with us. The lighting in the room glitters like you’re dining inside the Titanic cruise ship‘s dining room. Absolutely gorgeous!

    Definitely an older decor but it has a charm that way. Food is expensive but so good. And service was wonderful
