The food was good, but my filet mignon was a bit over cooked. The Monterey Jack potatoes were delicious. The service was good, but not as great as I'd hoped for. I did love the live piano player. I also loved the themed rooms and decor, very beautiful. Overall a good restaurant.

The Sardine Factory is one of my favourite restaurants and go to places. Regardless of where I am. I try to make it down to Monterey at least three times a year and always dine at the Sardine Factory. The food is very well prepared and delicious. The whole ambience of the restaurant makes you feel very welcome and has a positive energy. Great place to visit and dine. A place I recommend to all friends and family. Even strangers.

Overpriced-Seafood Not fresh-& Mediocre Service. *crab stuffed prawn (3) was over filled with breadcrumbs, freezer burn marks on the prawns and dry/canned crab. *crab stuffed mushrooms (3) lacked flavor and crab tasted canned - not fresh too. Service was slow. I overheard the waitress for the table behind us bring the other couple a free dessert in apology for the wait. We were not afforded the same benefit as we are were lucky to get a standard drink refill. We sat in the atrium which was very nice. But, otherwise there is no view for this restaurant.

We enjoyed this restaurant. Reggie and Lawrence were very attentive and friendly. We had the lamb chops and filet mignon; both were cooked perfectly. The wine list is extensive which we quite enjoyed. For dessert we had the bons bons which are fun for the kids with their presentation; we just love the ice cream. We usually spend a dinner here when we visit a Monterey. Always a treat!

My wife and I went to the Sardine Factory for an anniversary dinner. We first visited the restaurant together in 1984 when we were dating. Subsequently, we have visited only a few times, several years apart, as we both left the Monterey area in 1987. Throughout our sporadic visits, we consistently found the Sardine Factory to be an exceptional restaurant. During our most recent visit, we found the atmosphere romantic, the service impeccable, the sommelier very helpful, and the food outstanding. My only complaint is that even by Monterey standards the restaurant charges a premium price for everything — particularly the wine.

I took my sister to dinner for her two person bachelorette party. The food and ambiance were fabulous. But our service was not what I’d expect from this restaurant. They didn’t even acknowledge my sister’s upcoming wedding or that we were celebrating a special event (despite my having told them). So both good and bad.

Even though I've lived in the area for almost 30 years, this was my first time visiting the Sardine Factory for dinner. It was an amazing experience, delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. It was a bit surprising to have so many different people come by the table after we were seated to check on us; but the staff was so attentive! It's definitely on the high end price wise, and while it's worth it, it will be a destination reserved for special occasions.

Overall we had a nice experience. We ordered the smoked sardines for our appetizer-yummy. We both ordered the halibut for our main dish, it was on the special list. My husband enjoyed it I felt the seasoning overpowered the fish so keep that in mind if you order the halibut. Overall good food and nice ambiance.

Walked in, the guy didn’t greet us or smile. Asked us if we wanted music in main room or back room and we had no idea so just chose in front of fireplace. It was a nice tiny table for two. We tried ordering the prime rib but was told they were out so the waiter offered a different type of steak and not being told the price or difference we went with it thinking it was less because typically the prime rib is the top choice. We asked for it to be medium well because we don’t like much of any pink with our steak. We got our plates and it looked wonderful with side of asparagus and their cheese mashed potatoes. But the meat was practically raw! Due to the fact we felt so uncomfortable with waiter and it was so loud with music we just ate the outer edges and just only ate that. I figured this plate was less than the prime rib so I chose to not get a box to take it home. I figured at the cost it wasn’t worth bringing it home. Come to find out we each got an $80 plate!!! It was DOUBLE!! And we couldn’t even eat it!! And we couldn’t even take it home after realizing it was so much we just had them take away clueless! Ugh! We will never go again.

The Sardine Factory is a destination restaurant, so you pay accordingly. If you know that upfront, it's a treat. The food was very good, and we ate a lot of it. A glitch with my petrale, so they bought our desserts, which were wonderful. Great service all around--Stephanie was delightful and Pyper, the sommelier, was charmingly helpful, which is what you need when navigating the encyclopedic wine list. Just browsing through that is a treat for the winos. Old school, high end, great fun.

WE have been coming to Monterrey for years and have always wanted to eat at Sardine Factory. We decided to make it a belated anniversary dinner. We went on line and looked at the different rooms and picked the captains room. We we arrive our request was noted and was showed to our table. It was everything we expected and more. The wait staff is very attentive and very helpful. As far as the food it is first class . I had the special of the day a shrimp and steak dish and my wife had lobster ravioli both were the best we have ever had.
