The food and service at Passionfish were extraordinary. We did not have a single bad dish, everything was fresh and tasted out of this world. Will go back again whenever we are in the area.

Excellent food and great service! The wine list was fun, and the attention to detail from both our server and the assistant — clearing, remarking, topping off waters , crumbing the table— really elevated the experience.

We had an amazing dinner last night! The halibut was cooked perfectly, and my husband enjoyed the scallops. The service was exceptional, and we will definitely return. The new owner personally greeted us and made a point to check in with us before we left—this level of customer service is something we rarely encounter at other high-end restaurants. You should run, not walk, to experience Passionfish! Five stars!!!!

The food was amazing. Wine list was very nice. Server was indecisive and never refilled our wine one time. But as I said food was amazing.

I simply love this restaurant. The classy yet cozy vibe. The attentive yet considerate staff. And most importantly, the food! I love the scallop appetizer. It is fun to eat various elements while the scallop itself holds the top place. The main dish: the duck confit along with the cake and brocollini is perfect. The duck is indeed falling off the bones with crispy part to enjoy. The duck is free of game smell and the fruit sauce allows the dish to stay savory and flavorful. The brocollini is fresh and young, very pleasant to eat along with tender meat. Lastly, the banana bread pudding and the ice cream ends the night with such a sweet dream. The caramel is perfectly sticky and there is a crispy crust at the bottom of the pudding. The texture of the pudding and the ice cream is smooth and righteously decadent. Well, I finish the whole thing by myself with the sense of joy. You should know by now that you need to try this place. Let me finish my essay now lol.

The scallops and the calamari had a very fishy smell. The biscuit was divine along with the wine. The service was great and the restaurant was cozy.

My husband and I dine at Passionfish each time we're in the Monterey area after our 1st experience years ago. It's become our special place to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. Each time, the service is exceptional and the food is consistently flavorful. Thank you.

This is a great restaurant! You just have to go there. Stunning wine list that so eclectic and fairly priced. The only issue we have with the place is that it's 2000 miles away from where we live.

We love, love, love this restaurant. The fish never fails to disappoint and don't get me started on the biscuits! This time we brought our adult kids and 2 toddlers (with some trepidation). The kids adored the food, and the service made everything easy.

Love the food here. The service is attentive but unintrusive. There is an extensive wine list and most are reasonably priced.

Delicious dinner from start to finish! The biscuits were crazy good! Be sure to get enough for everyone to have their own! The plum and jicama salad was light and refreshing. The halibut was perfectly paired with corn, tomato relish, cotija, and cilantro aioli.... a well balanced, flavor-full bite of food. The maple-banana bread pudding with banana ice cream and bourbon caramel sauce was phenomenal! A must!! Our waiter was outstanding. Patient, kind, and very attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening!

My friend and I just had entrees and we were both happy with our meals. My scallops were perfectly prepared and she had the whole trout which she enjoyed. Our meals came out quickly. We had a 6 pm reservation. This is my third visit to PG in about 10 years and I've eaten here each time. It has never disappointed.

We were in Pacific Grove for four nights. We ate at Passion fish for two nights. It was so good. We had to come back a second time. The risotto appetizer topped with the scallop was beyond delicious. The halibut was incredible. The banana bread pudding is a must. The biscuits are beyond delicious.
