    Assorted desert
    Hachimitsu I.

    Had a wonderful blast. The food was amazing ,the hospitality was incredible and the views was inspiring. My favorite is the salmon crusted sesame seed with crispy jumbo shrimp. The Thai chili sauce was great and amazing. Not to spicy but more sweet. Worked well with both the fish and the shrimp crispy. I cannnot wait to recomend my friends to be here. Sad that some of the menu items I was told about was no longer available so the waiter recommended this to me.

    Food is excellent! We wandered in from Cannery Row and so glad we did! Beautiful view and wonderful service too!

    Monterey Bay Cioppino

    I came here recently and honestly the views alone make it worth it. It's right on the water and even though we didn't sit outside (it was getting cold and my daughter is just getting over a cough), we still had a booth with a really nice ocean view. Our server Shaniya was very sweet and patient, especially with my daughter who kept asking her name over and over. She handled it so kindly. Omar was also helping out and stayed on top of clearing the table and checking in on us, which I appreciated. Pedro, I believe the manager, was also really nice. My husband had a question about the music and they all took the time to answer and make sure we were comfortable. The food was actually better than I expected. We started with the crab stuffed mushrooms, really good. My husband got the clam chowder and fried halibut and chips. He loved the halibut, said it was fried perfectly, not too heavy or thick like a lot of places. He usually doesn't even like fried seafood like that, so that says a lot. Only thing he mentioned was for about $50, the portion is a little small, so it didn't fully fill him up. I had the cioppino and it was fresh and really flavorful. My daughter had spaghetti, and it was actually really good too (she didn't finish it but I tasted it lol). For dessert, she got a sundae and I had the key lime pie, both were good and we left full. Overall, great experience, good service, and amazing views. I'd definitely come back.

    We got drawn in this place with a free sample of their clam chowder, and the moment it hit my wife's lips, we knew we weren't leaving without a full order. She ended up saying it was the best clam chowder she had on the entire trip, and we tried a few different spots in the area. The bread bowl was fresh and the chowder itself was the star. It had a great balance of creamy, savory, and just a touch of sweetness. It came out piping hot and was incredibly satisfying. We also ordered fish and chips, which were good and definitely hit the spot, but not quite on the same level as the chowder. The wait was about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad. We ended up taking our food to go and eating on a park bench nearby. It was still a great experience, but in hindsight, I kind of wish we had sat inside the restaurant to enjoy the full atmosphere. That said, it's nice to have the flexibility to take it back to your hotel or eat along the waterfront. Parking can be a bit tough. We got lucky with street parking and just kept feeding the meter. Pro tip: you can pay the meter online and extend your time, which made things way easier. The location is also super convenient, right by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and perfect for walking along Cannery Row and checking out all the shops. Overall, a really solid stop. Come for the chowder, stay for the location.

    The Fish Hopper is the same ownership group who has Old Fisherman's Grotto, the Grotto Fish Market as well. This is a total tourist place, just like the others. However, there are many tourists in need of food so this group manages to pull it off. This place is big inside, quite noisy and fast paced. The service was good no complaints. The fish and chips - well I've had much better in a nice way of saying it. The clam chowder seemed a little thin as well. The Monterey sardines were good as was the artichoke. What I will recognize and the basis for my rating, is they recognize active duty military and veterans. You get a choice of the calamari, the artichoke, or ahi tuna poke wontons free of charge including a free dessert. As a veteran, I love seeing the community give back. Well done Fish Hopper - keep being classy!

    Dungeness Crab Cakes
    Lawrence P.

    Some of the best clam chowder I've ever had. Literally I would come back here for the chowder. This is the most creamy, rich, punch your taste buds full of flavor dishes. I cannot say how delicious this clam chowder was. A lot of places put "world famous" or "award winning" but those descriptions are 100% accurate in this case. Sesame crusted mahi mahi was ok. Came with two different sauces and a white and black crusted side. Kinda going for a yin-yang thing, I suppose. Wasn't successful in my opinion. The fish itself didn't have much flavor and you were going back and forth between the two sauces. Kind of meh. Fish and chips with halibut was really delicious. The texture was way better than the cod that's normally used and flavor was perfect. Crab cakes were crab cakes. Pretty run of the mill. Bucket of fire was a DRANK. That first sip pretty much knocked me on my butt. It was good. Strong. Supposed to be split between two. Service was good - atmosphere nice. Right along the beach. Honestly just get the clam chowder. Get two.

    Taste of Monterey & Bread Bowl
    Mal A.

    One of our now new favorites. Staff and service were impeccable, attentive and friendly. Restaurant was very clean and decorated well. Bread bowl, hands down the BEST chowder we've had. My halibut was cooked perfectly, ravioli soft with the with the perfect drink. We will absolutely be back.

    We came for Happy Hour and easily got sat at the bar. The restaurant wasn't very busy but most restaurants in Monterey we saw/encountered weren't full. Bartender was good, kinda disappeared at the end. Got the HH fish tacos which were Pacific cod or maybe rockfish - they were pretty good tacos. The Isabelle pasta isn't on the HH menu anymore but our bartender was still able to ring it through to us, it was pretty enjoyable, decent amount of seafood. Ambiance was alright, had upscale-ish chain steakhouse/seafood vibe going on. Tbh I could have easily skipped this place and most restaurants in Cannery Row and on Fishermans Wharf.

    Fish and Chips
    Sarah K.

    The fish was very fresh and great! I would definitely come back again :) The tar-tar sauce was my favorite but my friend's favorite was the cocktail sauce. The servers were always making sure our water was filled and checking up on us which we really appreciated. The seating location was great, we sat outside and overlooked the ocean. Even saw some sea otters!!

    Best view imaginable! We had corner table surrounded by glass and ocean! Fantastic views! Lots of folks checking on us after the food arrived but our main server was either overworked or forgetful but we gave him lots of grace. We ordered 2 Monterey specials and hubby got lobster dish. Beautiful presentation. Stunning, and his lobster dish was wonderful. Our Monterey specials were just bland. My son and I were both surprised and disappointed by this. Did we order the wrong thing? So bland. And $1/roll - don't bother. Small, hard and flavorless! Super nice place and sweet people. Just disappointed that this was our special meal in Monterey on vacation.

    Parmesan crusted chicken with spinach-mushroom risotto, and grilled veggies
    Sarretta M.

    Great spot right on the water! Friendly service and fresh seafood, as well as delicious other non-seafood food items. We brought a 21 year-old birthday girl here for her special dinner because she wanted lobster. She had the Ultimate Seafood Platter - said it was GREAT! I had the Parmesan-Crusted Chicken and her mom had the Fish-n-Chips. We each had a special cocktail then split a Crème Brûlée. They very kindly also brought a piece of blackberry chocolate cake with a birthday candle on it for her. All the food was delicious and we got very full. Our waiter Bismarck was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful. And we loved sitting beside the tide pool and beach. A wonderful birthday celebration!

    Clam chowder bowl
    Neeta M.

    The best clam chowder in a bowl! The sour dough bread was so fresh! The views from this restaurant are amazing! The food came in on time and was super yummy.

    view from seats

    Great view and nice food! We got the clam chowders, fish and chips and crispy shrimp. Clam chowder was delicious but a little heavy. The bread bowl was delicious. Crispy shrimp was the best dish - really juicy prawns coated with an extremely crispy shell.

Unfortunately it was a bit overcast, but we still had beautiful views nonetheless. There was a romantic elegance yet fun vibe in the restaurant. There was also soft live music playing which was very nice. We were seated by the windows overseeing the ocean and we were lucky enough to see a mama sea otter with her baby swimming around in front of us, which made it even more special!

I chose the Monterey Bay Calamari thinking it was a small portion, but it was the total opposite lol. It was a boatload of Calamari and so very good! We were both pleased with our food choices and ordered another round of drinks. I decide to order the Rested Plane this time which was refreshing. We had exceptional service and our waiter was very animated and fun. I'm so sad we didn't get a chance to have breakfast here, but totally recommend it for dinner. I do know they have a good happy hour menu that we missed too!

Man...everything was very fresh and delicious. I would even have to probably say the best I've ever had! The soup was seasoned to perfection and not too tart. My wife's crab pasta was also very good! I shared mine with her and we swapped for a bit just to sample other dishes here. The kids plates were also high quality as expected from this nice restaurant inside the Monterey Plaza Hotel. To make my bday weekend even better I was able to score a spot right in front of the hotel which isn't easy since it was a non-raining Saturday. This is definitely a "come back and eat" place the next time we're in Monterey.

    We stopped by here on this past New Years Eve briefly. I randomly found this spot on Yelp while I…read morewas searching for places to try since we were having a little getaway for NYE in Monterey. I was so thrilled to check this pub out especially with our doggie, Meatball the Bulldog! How perfect right? A Bulldog at The Bulldog Sports Pub. We snagged the last available booth, and it had crumbs on there. Not clean. SMH. I went to the bar to order some drinks for my boyfriend and me since he left his wallet in the car. It was raining that night, and we parked several blocks away. The service was okay. I remember the guy bartender said $29something, but then he charged me $30something. I got the Jalapeno Margarita while my boyfriend had the Tito's Mule. My drink was very sweet with a kick of jalapeno while his was pretty good. They had music playing. It seems that there is a modern jukebox where you can pay to pick a song. There was one pool table for people to play. So many people came up to pet Meatball and give him so much attention. He absolutely loved it! There was one guy who asked if he can say "Hi" to Meatball, and we said that it was okay like we normally do. This weirdo was basically making out with Meatball; not cool at all man. Then Meatball flipped on his back, and he was holding Meatball. My boyfriend told him to let go of Meatball. It was such an uncomfortable interaction. Not normal at all. He even said, "This is my NYE kiss!" SMDH. The guy sat down at a table that is across from us, and he kept looking at us. We quickly finished our drinks, and then we left to ring in the new year at our hotel lobby instead. We should have just hung out in our hotel lobby instead of going out; it was much better there.
