This place was excellent. My fish was awesome, my wife's fish was awesome, the service was good, the price was reasonable and the atmosphere was nice.
My only gripe was that my cocktail was not very impressive. I ordered some sort of sea-themed Martini, and it was nice for a standard martini but I was hoping for a little more briney/sea infusion.
I will likely go back next time I'm in town.

My favorite spot in the area. The fish is always so fresh and expertly prepared, which is rare to find even so close to the sea. The vegetables are lovely. Live music and warm ambiance put it over the top!

New sea food experience and live jazz. Oystershell martini was briny and good...until the third sip, wished the expensive experience was over. Sablefish collar was delicious and broke some of my dining frontiers. Bouillabaisse was delicious, halibut was fantastic, popovers were dense but good. Sticky toffee pudding was only okay, candied pecans were the highlight, but only a few on the plate. $300 for two people with wine.

I ordered the sea bass. I don’t remember the portions being so small the last time I dined here; I can’t imagine how much smaller the small plates would be. The fish was bland and undercooked. Actually, I hate to say it, but the flavor was truly unpleasant, like it was bordering on rancid. I couldn’t even finish half of it and lost my appetite, which is totally unlike me. I politely and honestly informed the wait staff and he said he would talk to the chef and asked if I wanted something else instead. I declined, paid the check (which still had the sea bass charge) and we left. I will not be back.

Food was bland and inedible. Owners were very polite, however we paid for a meal that we barely touched. Drinks and service were great. Not going to be returning

The food was inedible and either blandness, overcooked, undercooked or plain nauseating
The service was fine best part of the meal
The calamari was so salty it could be compared to drinking ocean water
The atmosphere was ok however the music was extremely loud making conversation hard
I would not advise to eat here and l will not be returning

I came to this place because of all the recommendations on Reddit by the locals.
We ordered a whole fish(75$) and clam chowder(15$+)
The chimichurri on the fish was delicious. Fish was soft and tasted fresh. Potatoes were textured and delicious.
**The salad, on the other hand, was WAYY too sour. I don’t know what they put in there, but it was unpleasant.

CLAM CHOWDER: had high expectations, but was served one of the worst clam chowders I’ve had. EXTREMELY SALTY. Almost as salty as the ocean water. I notified the waiter, he politely ordered me another one. The second time, it became very watered down. It was obvious the chef just decided to put water into the chowder since it was made in a huge batch. We just decided to return the dish.

Despite the disappointment from the clam chowder, the waiters were absolutely amazing. The live music playing even at 9 pm Friday, provided a phenomenal atmosphere. I would totally come here again, and I’ll write another review then.

The guy with a British accent who wouldn't give me his name was so rude, I would never eat here even if you paid me. I booked this restaurant in error. He wouldn't give me the chance to explain the error, called me a liar, hung up on me then proceeded to charge me $100 late fee without giving me the chance to explain why and the situation. I guess they need the money more than I do. With this type of hospitality, I wouldn't be surprised if this restaurant closes soon. AVOID!

One of our favorite places in Pacific Grove! The quality of food is simply amazing.

Wild Fish is my favorite restaurant in the area! And shout out to our server, Ravi!
He made the night feel so special for us.

Every time I visit, I always make sure to have a meal here. The servers and staff are very welcoming, and the food will make you feel like you’ve made it to heaven! Definitely stop by if you are in the area.

Ate lunch there expecting the awesome Fish and Chips we had there a couple of years ago. Fish and chips were a disappointment but the service and atmosphere is great.

This place is a gem — the kind of restaurant that doesn’t shout but quietly wins you over with every detail.

The seafood is the star here, and rightfully so. Sourced fresh from the Monterey Bay, each dish tastes like it was pulled from the ocean that morning. Whether it’s oysters, grilled fish, or ceviche, everything arrives perfectly cooked and cleanly plated — no fuss, just serious respect for great ingredients.

As if that weren’t enough, the ambiance is genuinely lovely. Soft jazz drifts through the space like a sea breeze, setting a relaxed, elegant tone without veering into stuffy. It’s the kind of place where you lean back with a glass of wine and suddenly realize you’ve been smiling the whole time.

Don’t skip the happy hour — it’s one of the best on the coast. Thoughtfully priced, generous portions, and no corners cut. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve somehow gotten away with something.

The service is top notch too.

A perfect spot for date night, solo indulgence, or just a refined break from the ordinary. Highly recommend.
