Old Fishermen's Grotto

Anything you order here will be good. There's something for everyone. The service is exceptional. Make sure you make a reservation!

The cuisine was superb; and our server, Jeanette, was great. Their clam chowder in a bowl was the best I've ever had. Wonderful dining experience!

Cioppino was delicious. The cheese cake was of the best. Sinatra and Nat Cole set the ambiance. Enjoy!

Had an early lunch. Fisherman's wharf. Bah. We don't usually frequent these types of touristy places. Service was excellent as was the old school ambience as it felt like being on a ship 70 years ago. Food was decent wif enjoyed her shrimp salad sandwich. I had rock bass tacos were just ok. Portion size was ample. Overall it was a solid B.

Coming from San Francisco, we love West Coast seafood/Italian restaurants (now most of them are gone from SF's Wharf area -- very sad). So, whenever we are in Monterey, we go to Old FIsherman's Grotto. It is reliably THE BEST for the freshest seafood, great menu with unique preparations, HUGE portions, healthy sized cocktails, reasonable prices, on the bay seating and views, AND FABULOUS service (always attentive and willing to do whatever it takes to make you happy). And the owner swings through the restaurant often to ensure his guests are happy. A great experience -- going back again tonight!

First thing you notice upon entering is how unwelcoming and rude they are to children. Literally the first thing thing they tell you upon entering is “we don't have a kid's menu, we don't have booster chairs and don't let your kid run around.” I came w my 9 yr old son - as if I would need a booster chair for him or if he wouldn't sit still. Food is decent but the rudeness is unforgivable

Every time we visit Monterey we dine at Old Fisherman's Grotto. We have never been disappointed. Last night we celebrated my wife's birthday. Everyone went out of their way to make it a special event. We will continue to return!

Always a favorite place of ours when we're in town! Great food , service and reasonable prices at the wharf.

Nice view from our table, very attentive service, great food selection, enjoyed our food, nice portion

Both the food and service at Old Fisherman's Grotto were very good so we decided to eat there again two nights later. Highly recommend.

Came back to recapture the memories from 34 years ago. Food was just as awesome as it was back then!

Dining at Old Fisherman's Grotto for over 35 years has always been a pleasant and delicious experience. Everything on the menu is prepared to perfection. Chris, Austin and the entire staff are personable, professional and efficient. This is our favorite restaurant on the Monterey Peninsula and frequently bring out of town visitors.

Beautiful lunch yesterday. They gave us a nice window seat and it was lovely. The food was so fresh and delicious. Service was very attentive. My husband was so impressed l, he spoke to the manager to compliment and thank him for such a great experience. We appreciate the special treatment- or maybe we just felt special 😊

Our first visit and the service and dinner did not disappoint. Excellent service and fresh ingredients prepared perfectly. Sand tabs were great highly recommend.

Amazing service and views. Food was delicious for the most part except for a few things we weren't keen on. Highly recommended!
