Cool little spot specializing in pasta, with a seafood centric menu. Stopped here after the aquarium. Service was phenomenal, nice childrens menu for the little ones, and pretty fun cocktail list. I got the special, chipotle honey chicken pasta it was really good. My wife got the chicken parm. Very generous servings. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Elevator to second floor

Food was average, nothing stood out. Service was very slow even though it wasn’t that crowded inside and it was a weeknight. Waiter took a while to come to our table to take orders. Convenient location near Monterey Aquarium and downtown area. Has a view of the ocean.Vegetarian options: Had plenty of vegetarian options including salads, pasta, and pizza.

Hella good food, can never go wrong with a clam chowder in a bread bowl while having a stunning view.Kid-friendliness: The kiddos got fish and chips and the meal came with souvenir cups for them!
We stopped outside at their cart and tried a sample of the clam. It wa so good we got a small cup.

I recommend it, as the staff are very helpful and I really like how they set up their tables. If you ask for a candle, they'll give you two fake ones and they're very cute. This restaurant is very outstanding to say the least, I really do recommend that you go here.

We had a great meal here following a trip to the aquarium. It's so touristy in this area my expectations were low but I was pleasantly surprised! All the seafood was super fresh and tasty. The calamari was nice and crispy. The service was attentive and the view was great! I really enjoyed the seafood pasta. It was rich but the seafood was really fresh and perfectly prepared.

Nice music. Noisy every time people moved chairs which was often because crowded. Made a reservation and got a window seat which was great! Tables bussed immediately. Good good. Very pleasant experience

This place had terrible food, it made us food sick and was dramatically overpriced. Terrible service, rude staff that were straight up a-holes to us. We asked for bread and they gave us a full platter of garlic bread even after we said we didn't want it, and they charged us for it too! We ended up throwing it away even though we paid for it. $70 for two people and we didn't even eat the food it was so bad. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Great service and location! We were able to walk in without a reservation. The sampler appetizer was amazing, the popcorn shrimp and calamari were great!
Pretty nice spot, was surprised to go yesterday around dinner rush time and got seated right away with a beautiful quaint table on the balcony overlooking the water. I’d say’s prices are what I’d expect for a waterside view restaurant in a busy area like this. Portions I wish were a tad bigger. But food was hot and tasted great. Service was fairly quick in my opinion. I’d say my only complaint was my husband and I both ordered glasses of water. The water tasted terribly like chlorine. So maybe order something else to drink. Other than that I’d return in a heart beat.

Louie Linguini's in Monterey offers a delightful dining experience, blending exceptional service with a cozy ambiance and picturesque views for those lucky enough to snag a spot by the windows or outside. The fried seafood platter is a standout, delivering satisfying flavors and textures that leave you wanting more. Equally impressive is their pasta dishes, great flavor and left no room for complaints. We cannot forget about the clam chowder as well, so creamy and really satisfies all your cravings! Whether you're craving seafood or pasta, Louie Linguini's delivers on all fronts, making it a solid destination for a good meal in Monterey.

The view from our seats were great. We had a party of 6 and were seated pretty quickly. The children's portions were pretty big & the adults played had so much flavor! The food was overall great!

I had the seafood saute which was so good, so flavorful, and cheesy. It had a variety of seafood. My husband got the special with the Cajun BBQ shrimp, he loved it as it kind of reminded him of jambalaya. We also had the sampler in the appetizer menu and that was also good. The cheese cakes where absolutely stringy and delicious. We had the tiramasu and it was so good. I had a strawberry lemonade which was on the sweeter side so I grabbed a water but again still so good. I highly recommend the seafood sauté.
