“This was the best restaurant I never ate in. Lemme explain. My superwonderul-one-in-a-million friend is in Monterey visiting her sister and bro-in-law there. (Actually they live in Chico, CA but they drove down to Monterey for the weekend.) So, says I, "Why not try Sardine Factory? (I live in Albuquerque, but hey, Diana is my superwonderul-one-in-a-million friend...oops, I already said that... and she is in CA, visiting from Albuquerque). So I called Sardine Factory and spoke to Mary and she took my credit card number and the rest is history. THANK YOU MARY! Diana, my friend, said it was a "10." "Staff was fantatic."in the Conservatory. "The waiter tied a bib" on her. The best meal I ever had... from 1,00 miles away. Mary, you are the sweetest person in the world! But Diana loved it, and that what matters the most. Oh, she had cioppino (see photo) and her sister had "delicious" seafood pasta and her bro in law had sea bass ("very good"). So Mary, and Sardine Factory, you made people very happy this evening. But that is what you do. God bless.“

“An excellent dining experience, from start to finish. You can taste the quality of the ingredients and the flavor combinations blew our minds. The attention to detail in each dish clearly showed the tremendous passion of the staff in the kitchen. Truly an incredible 4 course meal and I highly recommend it for any special occasion. What a visit!“

“I had done a search for the best clam chowder in Monterey and they are at the top of almost every list, and they were right! I got the clam chowder in the garlic sourdough bowl I highly recommend them! My wife, Michele got risotto with caramelized onions, shrimp and sole. We had a view of Monterey Bay and some sea lions playing. Our server, Giovanny, was phenomenal! He brought Michele a piece of complimentary cheesecake and a rose for her birthday. 🌹 I had the chocolate creme brûlée. Great start to our mini-vacay in Monterey!“

“Excellent curated dining experience. Will be a go to for us. Stellar food, beverage and service.“

“Great place for quick lunch“

“Beautiful view of shoreline, delicious entrees, great atmosphere, helpful waitstaff.“

“We love Cafe Fina and always try to dine there when in Monterey. Great food, cocktails and good wine selection. We recently had our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal luncheon there and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere, amazing food and drinks. We highly recommend this fine restaurant while visiting Monterey. Cozy, warm and friendly staff too!“

“My favorite restaurant on Cannery Row! Great service every time and great food!!“

“Ordered take out twice during my month long vacation in PG. First order was 5 stars. Fish & Chips and artichoke appetizer. Hot, freshly prepared, delicious! 2nd (repeat) order not so much☹️. I was in-between the lunch and dinner hour and my food had been sitting around awhile I was disappointed! because I was so looking forward to freshly prepared fish & chips“

“This restaurant is so magical. The food is phenomenal. Everything we’ve ever ordered has tasted so so good. I highly recommend the yin-yan salmon and grilled salmon filet. The service is stellar and the people who work there are super nice. The prices are totally reasonable, especially for the food quality and taste and the service. I would expect to pay double for the food quality and service. And the ambiance is really nice - it’s cozy, romantic, and very cute. Excited to come back soon!“

“Great service and excellent food! Right on the water“

“Great service, great ambiance, great food!“

“Delicious food.... We had some red aguachiles and some green aguachiles. We’ve been here tons of times, but today when we went in, the service wasn’t the same, waitress seemed upset for some reason because I asked for extra avocado & I had to ask another waitress for some chips 20 minutes later because the original waitress never asked us if we needed anything else after they brought us our food. Besides that, food was delicious 👍🏿“

“great service and the food was deliscious plus they had great Musica“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“Great food and very friendly staff. Looking forward to going back.“

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant and a breath of fresh air in the Carmel culinary community. The food was incredible and the service was top notch. The space is refreshingly chic and relaxing. The tables are spaced apart to allow for conversation and there's no rush to finish your meal. You are encouraged to linger and enjoy the best meal in Carmel!“

“Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere and wonderful service.“

“The food was great, but the real star of the night was our waitress, Giuliana.

I swear she knows that menu better than the chef. 😂 We could’ve asked her what aisle the salt was made in, and she’d probably have had an answer. She knew every dish every ingredient and gave awesome recommendations.

What really impressed us was that even though the restaurant was absolutely packed, she never made us feel rushed. She still took the time to answer questions explain the menu and made the whole experience that much better.

To the owner whatever you’re paying Giuliana… it probably isn’t enough. 😆 Hang on to her employees like that are hard to find. 👍🏻🤩“

“My family from Texas was visiting and we came for the first time….. best food, service and drinks. Joe was a great and welcoming service. 100% recommend“

“Absolutely wonderful, small quaint. Fish market and restaurant all in one whoever is cooking the food they are on it it is so amazing so tasty I was so satisfied The server she was dealing with every single table in the whole place inside and out killing it hustling unbelievable so satisfied“

“Had a fantastic experience at Lighthouse Bistro Global Cuisine! One of the things that stood out to us was that they offer halal lamb and chicken options. We ordered the Pomegranate Chicken and an off-the-menu lamb kabob, and both dishes were outstanding.
The chicken was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, while the lamb kabob was perfectly cooked and incredibly delicious. The seasoned vegetables were done just right, and the rice was cooked to perfection, making the entire meal feel balanced and satisfying.
The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and parking was easy and convenient right outside the restaurant.
If you're looking for flavorful halal-friendly options and great hospitality, I highly recommend Lighthouse Bistro Global Cuisine. We'll definitely be back!“

“We were looking for a place that offered seafood without breaking the bank. This was the place. We got our seafood fix with shrimp bags and crawfish bags and the others in our group who don't like seafood were able to get Chinese food. Win win for everyone.“

“I am from Michigan took my family here. Food was great, people were great and very fun. kept us entertained while we waited for our food. I left my backpack full of souvenirs there and they mailed it all the way back to Michigan. Very thankful.“

“The food and service was amazing! we had the crab cakes and the barramundi. Both were some of the best seafood dishes we've ever had!“

“We came to Domenico's to celebrate our annual girl's trip and had never been to Domenico's before. Camilo, our waiter, warmly welcomed us and took our drink and appetizer orders, gave us recommendations and was very kind and accommodating. When we received our food I found my dish, the swordfish in clam broth, to be extremely salty. The busser noticed that I was not enjoying it and offered to have them remake the meal, but I asked for the sole instead, which my friend was enjoying. They very quickly brought out the new meal, which was very good. I was embarrassed, but so pleased with the service. I would most definitely come back again.“

“We celebrated our anniversary there and had the BEST time. Faisal always makes you feel like family. The food and music are the best!!!“

“My husband and I spend a lot of time and money at Michelin restaurants, and this restaurant, while it does not have a Michelin star, should have one. The food is excellent. We had the burrata, ratatouille, and branzino. All of it was fresh and delicious. We will
Be back without question.“

“If I had to pick one place in Carmel to always eat at, this would be it. Right on Ocean Blvd so easy to get to. This place is on the small side as are so many places in Carmel, but it feels more intimate than cramped. The food and service have always been excellent and it’s good value for the price. The bar has a very high quality selection of spirits, brews, and wines. Their bloody Mary is a favorite. If you hit the place at an off hour and sit at the bar the bartenders are always engaging. We love their oysters but there are so many good choices on the menu we always like to try something new. It's one of the few coastal places that serves red clam chowder, which I love. Like every other time we've been to Carmel in recent years we dropped into A.W. Shucks at least once on each day of our trip. This week we had the benefit of Tommy serving us at our table and also tending bar for us once where he made some great recommendations for oysters. We also loved Rebecca's bubbly enthusiasm as our waitress. And tonight we had the benefit of Rowena serving us at the bar. This restaurant has such a great team, which speaks highly of the management.“

“It was lovely sitting next to a window on the water. You could watch the birds, otters and seals play. The food was delicious. They gave us a free coupon for fried calamari with a main dish, so we shared a mixed grill of seafood & Vegetables. Then we each ordered a bowl of clam chowder.“

“Amazing food and hospitality“

“This restaurant is slightly cheaper than surrounding restaurants that offer basically the same food.

The calamari wasn't mind blowing but still very tasty. I didn't get the usual fishy smell from it. Wasn't too chewy. Neutral flavor and clean bite. The cocktail sauce they had on the side paired well with it.

For a takeout place right before peak lunch traffic, this place was slow. Food took about 15 minutes to come out. It was hot and delicious though.

This is very much a take out restaurant. Even if you decide to sit at the limited seating they have both in and outside the restaurant, you're still given food in a takeout container.“

“Warm, down to earth, atmosphere. A hidden gem. Love their pizzas' Great for big parties of people or to pop in by yourself. I have always had wonderful, attentive, and authentic service. The food is plentiful and good! Ask for Rima, she will take care of you!“

“Wonderful dining experience. Food was fabulous. We shared the calamari appetizer which was delicious. Then we shared the Paella oh my goodness was it wonderful. More than enough for two. This is a favorite restaurant of ours when we come to Carmel and it never disappoints.“
