Stick to the beer… Stay away from the clam chowder… It was the worst… Crabcakes were OK but a little dry

Just visited for a quick bite to eat and a beer.
Very good service and very friendly guy who took our order.
We had a beef burger with cheese & bacon. Food was average and beer was good.
We'd definitely return if we were passing thru town again.

Sorry to say that the steamed mussels used to be much better, you'd get about 12 piled on a plate in a bit of spicy delicious broth. Today there were only 6 mussels floating in a whole bowl of lemony soup. I'd call it mussel soup, not steamed mussels. Please bring back the old recipe! Otherwise I love going there.

The British breakfast food tasted okay. The bacon was missing it's other half. The sausage, eggs passed the grade barely. The toast came without butter and looked cheap and old. The beans came 3 or 4 minutes after and was microwaved. Breakfast came with fries which I wasn't expecting. Overall, I'd say the quality of food is sliding downhill.
The staff are really nice. Atmosphere is okay. It only gets 2 stars because it's a restaurant and it's lacking cleanliness, hygiene. It has filthy walls, sticky seats, tables and tacky menus, old looking, mucky condiments, beat up cutlery, carpets and black cobwebs, flies flying around. The owner manager, staff should clean the place. Shouldn't need to point this out.
It's lucky they're on the ocean front at a tourist location. Otherwise, people would steer clear of this place. Fortunately, new wandering faces visit.
Also, lucky for this place that they're are other filthy or crappy and over priced restaurants nearby on the shore front overcharging customers for below standard quality service food.
I think I'll hold off from returning to this place. Better restaurants are more customer quality geared 5 or miles away from the beach area.
Osha should pay this place a visit.

Warm clam chowder in a buttery, lightly toasted bread bowl, overlooking Monterey Bay.
That. Is. All.

I wanted to keep it a secret. Home to the best Chardonnay mussels, fish&chips, better than Britain, bangers and beans. Or maybe it’s the Arugula or ginger bacon blanketed prawns in Sid’s delectable sauce or Andy’s perfectly balanced raspberry lemon drop; they’ve all, along with my darling friend, Irene, nourished my soul. I’m far away so I’ll share my favorite place because it’s so missed. Watch a game or enjoy the patio, and the sweet sounds of the bandstand and laughter served over waves. The Brit’s unassuming but the best food on the coast, flavored with real friends.

Very tasty Shepherd's Pie. Locally crafted beer on tap. Easily accommodated our party of 8.

Love the Bangers. I would order so much if delivery was available!!

Wonderful, authentic Pub food. Well prepared, friendly service. The place could use some paint and repair. But we enjoyed it thoroughly. Had steak and mushroom pie, and Cornish pasty.

When is the there for quite a while at the bar waiting to get a drink the guy appeared to be working understaffed and the bar was completely covered in dirty glasses took forever to get my food at least 35 minutes and then ask me to pay again for the shot and I never bought a shot you gave me a shot of beer to try and he thought I ordered three shots so they're stupid they're understaffed the place look dirty well there's a drunk guy in there who's got a mental disorder he's just saying weird stuff and being weird not a fun atmosphere in what supposed to mean upscale posh neighborhood along the ocean

Steak and mushroom pie was really good and plentiful.

We had an excellent lunch today 05/11/25 for Mothers Day! Irene was a great server, made us feel welcomed and comfortable straight away. Food was fresh and fast, really had a nice time soaking up the sun and the view from the side patio! Highly recommend, thank you Irene and the Britannia Arms. Cheers.

Food was really good and plenty
