Classic Eggs Benedict and a TON of potatoes.
Christie B.

I recently stayed at Seascape for a mini vacay. There's not many super close options to eat so a few times I gave Sanderlings a try. Friday nights they have live music so after settling into my room, I walked over to the restaurant to check it out. The views are stunning of course and there's a great patio for dining which is where the music was set up. Really nice place to relax and unwind. I wandered into the bar area to order a drink and decide what I might want to take back to my room for dinner. While I made up my mind, I ordered a beverage and enjoyed the music right outside the open doors. I placed my order and headed back to my gorgeous Villa to watch the sunset and eat. Here's what I ordered: SPICY PINEAPPLE MARGARITA - the bartender claimed this was the best one he'd ever made. Although tasty, it was missing the "kick" as in tequila, for me. WEDGE SALAD - weird, just very odd. Not your typical wedge by any means but also pretty darn good. I'd order it again. GRILLED ARTICHOKES - delicious. Basic and yummy. CLAM CHOWDER - I love clam chowder and this one is really good. So good that I almost ordered a bowl to go when I checked out a few days later. Speaking of checking out, at the end of my vacation I popped back in to treat myself to breakfast and YUM!! Here's what I ordered: CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT - huge portion! This could certainly be shared by two people. The eggs were absolutely perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce was so flavorful and thick. The potatoes were a massive portion, but also perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and soft on the inside. I would order this 100 times over. The service was great. The breakfast was amazing and the items I had ordered when I arrived we're pretty good. Where Sanderlings fell short for me was the dinner menu. I didn't find anything that looked outstanding, which was kind of a bummer because I was on vacation to indulge And I just didn't see any dinner entrées on the menu that peaked my interest. I will be back to this resort again and again, and I will continue to give Sanderling's a try. See you soon!

Great Food!

I'm a creature of familiar comforts and have once again come to another love with Sanderlings@Seascape Resorts. This lively by the beach location is a hidden gem of the Monterey Bay coast with calming waves present providing catharsis for the city dwellers who dares dwell this way. LOVE IT!

Clam Chowder
Tamara P.

We stayed at the Seaside resort for about 4 nights and we decided to eat onsite the first night. We dined here twice - once at the restaurant and another time at the bar. Overall service was good. They had a special event happening on the bluff, a baby shower so it was a little busy. We opted to sit inside as it was windy and a little chilly. However they do have heaters for outside dining. The wagyu was delicious and the swordfish was equally great. The second time we walked over we had a burger, soup and a few drinks in the bar area. It is convenient also because we were able to walk over from our room and get a ride back.

This place is really casual for the location tbh. I came here for a friend's engagement dinner. There's plenty of parking in front by the lobby and walk through there to get to the dining area. I would suggest sitting outside if you like that sort of setting. The view is absolutely gorgeous. The servers are also incredibly nice and attentive. The food is pretty good. I don't have a picture of the octopus appetizer, but I do recommend it. It's a pretty big portion for 1 person, it's definitely a share type of appetizer. I got their Wagyu Bavette medium rare without the Blue Cheese (not my jam) and it was delicious. The main dish and the appetizers, I think, were about the same portion sizes, so for a main dish, it was a pretty small portion imo. The other thing I was looking at was their lobster and scallops, BUT my friends who got it, couldn't stomach it. They said it tastes and smelled like gasoline... it could be a one off, it could just be the one they got was from the end of the night. I'm not sure. But I was hoping g it would be more fancy and less casual than what we got.

Fish tacos
Annie T.

A little pricey, but it is part of a hotel, so I suppose it should be expected. Other than that, Sanderlings is wonderful! The menu had options like tender strip steak sandwiches to bowls of udon and fish tacos, Sanderlings delivers in flavor and variety. They also meticulously plate each dish. The service is top-notch as the server continued to check on us. (We were having a sort of mini reunion so we sat there for 3 hours!). The drink menu was also delicious. The indoor and outdoor patio are both spacious and beautiful. Whether you're a local or out-of-tower, I think Sanderlings is a great place to visit for a meal or a drink.. or both!

salmon special of the night
diem t.

We came here for dinner around sunset and the location was just beautiful. The restaurant sits along the coast--not directly on the water, but with partial coastal views. Sitting outside for sunset was gorgeous, and after dinner we were able to take a short, easy stroll down to the beach. The sand was soft and it was the perfect way to end the evening--highly recommend making that part of your visit. Food-wise, everything we tried was excellent. We started with the clam chowder, which was rich, flavorful, and came with oyster crackers. The cup size was just right, and I really liked the touch of bacon in the chowder--it added a depth of flavor without being overpowering. Next up were the Brussels sprouts--crispy, caramelized, and full of flavor. They came with a balsamic reduction, mustard seeds, and bacon chunks that tied everything together beautifully. No dipping sauce needed--the reduction gave them plenty of punch. We also ordered the Dungeness crab appetizer, which was a standout. A generous portion for the price (especially at a coastal restaurant), served with cucumber slices, endives, and light flaky chips for scooping. It was fresh, clean, and refreshing. For the entrée, we went with the special of the night: salmon. Perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and moist, flaky interior that cut easily with a fork. It was served over a flavorful vegetable base with a great sauce that pulled everything together. Service was equally impressive. From our waiter to the staff refilling waters and clearing plates, everyone was attentive without being intrusive. I've seen some reviews mention long waits, but that wasn't our experience at all--everything came out in good time. Overall, a wonderful evening--beautiful setting, delicious food, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back.

Linguini with truffles
Leanne G.

We came here for a family event and were excited to have a nice meal in a beautiful setting. The view is gorgeous but we were disappointed with the menu and the service. The menu had limited options. Around the table, we tried most of the dishes. The truffle pasta was very heavy with a thick cream sauce. The black cod was cooked well but swimming in soy sauce. The pork chop was good but the sides were lacking. The service was mixed. They were quick to take out drink orders, however, the rest of the night didn't go as well. It felt like they were very pushy asking multiple times about appetizers and more drinks. Once we got our food, they all but disappeared. The prices were high so I'm not sure the location is worth it.

Loved the ambience and watching sunset from here. The drink was okay, could have been better.

The star of the show- the halibut dish!!!
Ellie A.

We stayed at the Seascape resort for a few days to celebrate my older daughter's birthday. I booked a dinner reservation at Sanderlings as it was super convenient that we can just walk over from our villa. The dish of the night was the halibut paired with the risotto! It was absolutely delicious! The rest of the dishes my family ordered were also pretty tasty. Everything was amazing! The drinks were pretty good as well. Highly recommend the pineapple margarita! The ambiance is nice, nothing special. The patio is great because it has a beautiful view but it is cold and they don't have any heaters. Which place doesn't have heaters when it's so cold out?? So if you want to sit outside with the view, definitely bring a warm sweater or jacket (which we didn't) so we sat inside. They have a lovely outdoor area that you can go and walk to and see the view of the beach close by which is also a nice touch. I did take out one star as the service was very slow. They also took some time with our food, and we had some very hungry kiddos. We ended up hunting down the waiter asking for some bread because the kids were ravenous! So they were not very attentive to us unfortunately. They did give us a complimentary dessert for her birthday which was nice! They said she can choose any one she wanted which was lovely. She chose chocolate cake Ofocurse! Overall it was a decent meal! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if you are staying at the resort then yes by all means I recommend you try it! Just be prepared to not have the best service. And DEFINITELY try the halibut dish. I give it 4/5 stars.

Seabass
Terry C.

Since we're staying at Seascape, we thought we'd give Sanderlings another try. Although the seating and atmosphere are quite nice, the food and service are still lacking and a bit disappointing. Once we received our mains, the wait staff vanished and congregated together near the register. Tonight's Seabass was good, but nothing outstanding. The New York steak was of lower quality and was smothered in some type of steak sauce; this was not indicated on the menu.

Cioppino
Anita L.

A quiet restaurant that is conveniently located downstairs at Seascape Beach resort - there were decent food and drink options on the menu. I decided to get a cioppino, which was one of their specials listed for the evening. I like that they have the specials printed out on their own menu and each dish will recommend a suggested wine pairing to go with the meal. It made my choice very easy to go with the pinot noir to compliment my cioppino. For the cioppino itself - the dish itself was ok. A good amount of seafood with a savory broth. Not the best cioppino I've ever had but a nice hearty meal to end a long day. The dish comes with a couple of pieces of crostini on the side which were disappointingly very stale and actually kind of hurt my teeth to eat.

Wild Boar Bolognese all gone!

See all
