Huge chunks of calamari but I was craving some on July 5th and ordered some! It was 10/10 but super heavy for my first meal of the day! I would go back and order it again or another item to try out!

Cute, family type restaurant. Food was IK...not great. We went there because we wanted the grilled sardines. They didn't have them. I get it. They are not available right now. But, if that's the case, they should either take them off the menu or tell people when get come in. Anyway...we regrouped and had the wood fire grilled oysters, steamed clams and a sear salad with crab meat. Everything was pretty average. I ordered a draft beer that I had to send back. It was flat. My boyfriend had a very mediocre margarita. Service was fine. Overall...I would say.....meh....you could skip this one. There are many better restaurants in Monterey.

Long lines for this fry shop. Shared tables right outside and limited tables inside. Another diner said it’s been there for 75 years

Six of us dined at Abslonrtti for a celebration lunch. The food (fish & chips, shrimp & chips, calamari tacos, and clam chowder) was delicious! The service was fantastic! I will definitely dine there again, and again.

Got the calamari and it was good and decent portions of calamari, not as good as the crows nest in Santa Cruz but good.

We recently visit Northern California. We ate at 7 restaurants. Five were outstanding or excellent. Abalonetti was by far the worst. Neither food nor service we at an acceptable level

Food was bland, cocktail was horrible (sent back for wine), and service was poor. Server did not check on us between getting drinks and getting food and did not check on us after getting food once. When we were finished, the busser brought a box out and we waited 10 min to see server again to pay. It was not busy whatsoever - we will not return.

My reservation was not honored. I received confirmation notices via OpenTable and responded to them. When I arrived after a round of golf, there was a wedding party in the restaurant. My wife and her friend arrived right on time, but we all had to leave and find another place to eat. The staff seemed surprised that we had a reservation.
Came early on a busy Daturday. The food and service was fantastic. Sat outside and ambiance was lovely. Watched the seals playing the bay while enjoying fish and chips!

Loved the abalone! The flash fried calamari was cooked to perfection and the waiter was one of the best in customer service!
Toni
Delicious calamari and seafood. On the Wharf with views of the ocean. Quick service and customer attention.

It's in a tourist area so I knew this wouldn't be amazing but I was pretty disappointed when the wrong entree showed up. The caprese salad was actually good and the dungeoness crab was also as expected. They did remove the incorrect entree from the bill but it was still a disappointing meal. Great view of the water but bring a jacket if you want to sit outside.

The food was not good at all! The calamari was rubbery and some of it I had to spit out because it didn't seem to be cooked enough. It was terrible. The garlic mashed potatoes were the best thing, but the portion was tiny. The clam chowder did NOT taste like clam chowder and had a weird chemical taste. Very disappointed as we had to go get something else to eat after this meal was done. We had to ask for our check three times and the waiter only came by once during the whole meal. If I am going to be charged $4.50 for a small glass of soda, I would like it refilled at least once!!! Very disappointing experience, won't be returning or recommending.
We love the Calamari!!
