“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“

“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!“

“My husband and I had an excellent experience tonight. We didn’t have a reservation and were able to snag 2 seats at the bar. Arturo, the bartender, was precious. He was so friendly, happy, and was extremely attentive… he refilled my soda water multiple times without me having to ask. That kind of service used to be an expectation, but the industry today isn’t quite what it was. The food we ordered was delicious too! Definitely order a cocktail, the burrata, and pappardelle (we got a lamb one and a veggie one)! We will be back.“

“Hands down the best hummus around. Homemade pita bread and the rest of the food was delicious. My complaint that I did not share with the staff is that while we were eating, even though the restaurant was fairly empty, they seated a group of 4 just a table away from us. Unfortunately for us, one of the two ladies must have bathed in the entire 55 gallons her perfume came in.“

“the delicious food and inviting atmosphere.“

“Took a couple of dates here. The atrium is just beautiful and the food was amazing as always. Top notch in every way!“

“Everyone should have the full dinner at least once but once you get the vibe then sit at the bar or the super comfy patio and order a la carte.

Service is absolutely charming and worth the price of admission. The menu changes a lot but if you see the abalone skewers then they are a must have.

Cocktails are approachable and match the vibe perfectly. It's a regular stop for us.“

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

“Great place for quick lunch“

“Always an awesome meal and amazing atmosphere. Cannot recommend it enough! 💙💯“

“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!“

“The service was 10 stars. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. The owner was so kind and even ended our night with a complimentary ice cream dessert and said if we’re truly full we will not touch it! ;) We laughed a lot and enjoyed our dinner.“

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

“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 👍🏿“

“Kind of had a weird experience here. We were leaving Monterey and wanted to get some fresh fish one last time. Because we weren’t too hungry, we decided to share a meal. I realize that doesn’t make us a very profitable table, but the place wasn’t busy at all. Maybe 2 other tables occupied. The food was great and the service was pleasant but not overly attentive. However, when it came to paying for the meal, the server said that the ”machine was broken” and we could only pay cash. Didn’t bring us a check, I finally went to the counter to pay. Luckily we had cash but what if we didn’t? It was all very weird. Didn’t see other tables paying with cash. Not sure I’d come back.“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

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

“We went there on the New Year’s Eve at almost 2pm, when we walked in the restaurant there were full of customers but the waiters were very nicely and quickly to guide us to a seat even though they were close by 2 pm. Their seafoods are fresh and delicious with warmly and friendly services.“

“The grilled Mahi is the best I've ever had!“

“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.“

“Someone learned how to cook Sushi 🍣 Rice! Decided to give Poke House another chance for redemption, and they came through! Ono!! Shoots!!!“

“Loved it had great service and good was awesome“

“Great food, view and location. Friendly service right in the heart of Cannery Row.“

“Excellent experience in every respect. Dave our server did a fantastic job of providing advice and just the right amount of friendly and professional interaction. Food was delicious. Ambience on the wharf was scenic with the marina and an otter swimming just outside our window acting as additional entertainment.“

“The one pound cheese burger I had was the best burger I had in my life and they even did not add things I did not like on the burger best service people acutely care and I had a great view of the boats and the sea I would recommend going there but there is a price but hey it’s worth it“

“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.“

“We came here because two in our party must not eat gluten. One has quite a number of food allergies. This restaurant was impressive. They have a separate gluten free menu and a separate gluten free frier. They also have a separate vegetarian (full) menu. The waitress spent quite some time explaining food prep and how they can make adjustments to the menu for various allergies. In fact, she was soo good (an older lady) that even though the tip was included (due to our large party size) we tipped her above and beyond that amount. The food was also excellent! All of us were happy - regardless of the type of food we ordered - regular, gluten free or vegetarian. We would definetely come here again. Note: The only downside is, like in all of Carmel, parking is hard to find. So if you make reservations - be sure to show up at least a half hour early to spend time looking for parking.“

“We enjoyed the mini black pearl platter, it was plenty for a family of four and €200 plus tip. It was great fun trying to extract every last bit our teenage kids loved it. We enjoyed a window seat so looked out over the harbour. The platter included Clam Chowder, King Crab, Snow Crab, Dungeness Crab, Lobster, Jumbo Prawns, mini prawns, clams and mussels.“

“I brought out-of-town guests to Abalonetti's. They were impressed with both the menu and the food they ordered. One guest said the lobster ravioli was the best she's ever had. I'd agree--I had it too. Service was fast and not at all intrusive. We loved the pidgeons that occasionally walked through. I'll keep bringing visitors here!“

“Totally love this place the owners are really awesome the food is great Keylime pie is my favorite and the price is right!“

“Delicious food! impeccable service!!!“

“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!“

“Really pretty set up, both inside and outside. Been here three times now and have sat outside each time and it's been really nice each time. The menu is seasonal, which is nice, to try some new things, and it's a generous amount of food. We've enjoyed our food each time but really hoping the dessert options and quality picks up in the future, that was unfortunately a miss for us on both counts.“

“The staff is excellent food is amazing makes you feel special always“

“Elevated comfort food with a few minor twists (branzino gets the au poivre treatment; lamb lightened up with lots of watercress) but all familiar enough for our teen daughters to love. Big buzzy room and standout friendliness from our server. Just a delight.“

“I was here last night with friends and it was a great experience very busy but our server was very good about allergy and explaining things to us! I appreciated that they let us stay later and didnt rush us were having a good time! Their bathroom was unacceptable though! Someone needs to do their job better in that department!“

“Great service and food…. The hostess served us and she rocked it. Great time. Will come back!“

“Amazing food and service. If you need gluten free options then this is the place! GF garlic bread, pasta, and more. soooo good!“

“The Pocket in Carmel-by-the-Sea serves beautifully prepared seasonal dishes, with standout fresh seafood and inventive small plates that showcase local coastal flavors. The intimate atmosphere is cozy and elegant, making it ideal for a romantic dinner or special celebration, whether you choose the warm indoor seating or charming patio. Service is consistently attentive, warm, and thoughtful from start to finish. The quality of the food, curated wine list, and overall experience make it a true gem in Carmel—absolutely delightful and highly recommended.“

“Great food, view and service.“

“My girlfriend and I have been here twice and everything we tried tasted amazing. The chef was willing to substitute mushrooms for meat on a pasta dish that ended up being my favorite entree I've ever had. They were also able to fit us in without a reservation both times. I only wish the menu was bigger, but it does change regularly.“
