“This was the best restaurant I never ate in. Lemme explain. My superwonderul-one-in-a-million friend is in Monterey visiting her sister and bro-in-law there. (Actually they live in Chico, CA but they drove down to Monterey for the weekend.) So, says I, "Why not try Sardine Factory? (I live in Albuquerque, but hey, Diana is my superwonderul-one-in-a-million friend...oops, I already said that... and she is in CA, visiting from Albuquerque). So I called Sardine Factory and spoke to Mary and she took my credit card number and the rest is history. THANK YOU MARY! Diana, my friend, said it was a "10." "Staff was fantatic."in the Conservatory. "The waiter tied a bib" on her. The best meal I ever had... from 1,00 miles away. Mary, you are the sweetest person in the world! But Diana loved it, and that what matters the most. Oh, she had cioppino (see photo) and her sister had "delicious" seafood pasta and her bro in law had sea bass ("very good"). So Mary, and Sardine Factory, you made people very happy this evening. But that is what you do. God bless.“

“The avocado toast is yummy! (Remember to request the carb free (very seedy) bread.)“

“This must be the best sushi I have eaten in California in a really long time. The fish is extremely fresh, and the portions are generous. They focus on the fish and not the amount of rice. All the seasoning is so on point, and they keep it real without adding a ton of sauces or other distractions. I would come back any time when I'm in town. It can get busy during dinnertime, so either make a reservation or be prepared to wait for a little bit. They do offer outdoor seating.“

“Such good crepes, definitely recommend! Workers are kind and friendly. Quick service:)“

“Freddy & his team continue to deliver the best Italian food experience on the Monterey Peninsula. The attention to detail, the understanding and appreciation for their loyal guests is best in class. Likely the most recommended restaurant in the area.“

“Being an old-ish Army Vet, I had to try the SOS, as it was the go to breakfast in the 80's Army. I was not disappointed with the flavor or the memories! Great, efficient servers, service and food. 12 stars outta 10 stars! (When the VA appointments send me this way again, I'll definitely be getting my breakfast here!)“

“Great foods and great friends !“

“Alvarado Street Brewery continues to evolve in the best path with excellent food and drink presentation. Significantly, staff go above the limit for outstanding service and timing. Steven, our server, is outstanding for perceiving when customers need a request. Alvarado Street is the highlight for food, service, and enjoyment on the Monterey Peninsula“

“Ordered 3 sushi rolls and the chicken teriyaki entree. Food was definitely delicious and thoroughly enjoyed it. Service can be significantly improved!! Each time we had to call the server to our table if we needed something. Made it a challenge to add more meals to the order if desired.

Overall rating would have been higher if service can improve.“

“Great place for quick lunch“

“Amazing fresh food and super friendly staff. Lots of locals here which is a good sign when traveling, they know what’s around and chose this. Couldn’t have been happier! You won’t be disappointed!“

“One of the best chinese restaurants in Carmel. We make it a tradition to visit every year to satisfy and recalibrate our taste buds. The restaurant itself is very simple, not fancy at all. You could almost describe it as a fast food spot or a cafeteria. But don’t let the appearance fool you. The food is incredibly fresh, and the flavors do something extraordinary to your palate that is genuinely hard to describe. It’s one of those places you simply have to experience for yourself. A special thank you to Tommy for the passion and consistency you bring. You have created a place that gives people a truly memorable dining experience, and we look forward to coming back every year.“

“I had done a search for the best clam chowder in Monterey and they are at the top of almost every list, and they were right! I got the clam chowder in the garlic sourdough bowl I highly recommend them! My wife, Michele got risotto with caramelized onions, shrimp and sole. We had a view of Monterey Bay and some sea lions playing. Our server, Giovanny, was phenomenal! He brought Michele a piece of complimentary cheesecake and a rose for her birthday. 🌹 I had the chocolate creme brûlée. Great start to our mini-vacay in Monterey!“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“Just a fabulous experience! The service levels were over the top. Never wanted for anything. Ate at the restaurant and had an 8-course tasting menu! To die for!“

“I tried something new today, the hot Turkey open face sandwich smothered in a wonderful mushroom gravy. OMG 😱 So good ! And my salad was the perfect size to complement the large portion of the hot Turkey. I added a little Tabasco cause that what I do. I thought I was finished until the little waitress offered dessert 🍨. I ordered a piece of their home made apple 🍎 pie 🎉🎊😱. People let me tell you this is a bucket lister. With out a doubt the best apple pie I have ever had. And yes they make it from scratch. Great lunch experience today ! I ordered a piece of pie for a friend who is not feeling well and dropped it off to her. Thanks Victorian Corner for such a pleasant atmosphere to have my lunch 🙏.“

“I’ll offer a better than expected review. Our party of five went for Sunday brunch. 1/2 wait for an outdoor table. Excellent Southwest eggs Benedict; chicken fettuccini; fruit salad and Cinnamon toast special with eggs. Chocolate Oreo cake for dessert. Excellent service for a relaxing Sunday. Glad to return and recommend. Cheers!“

The cuisine is a vibrant celebration of traditional flavors and techniques, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Oaxaca. Each dish is crafted with care, offering a unique and memorable taste profile that is both complex and satisfying. While some might find it different, those who appreciate a genuine exploration of Mexican gastronomy will find it incredibly rewarding.

“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!“

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

“Awesomeness overload great pies“

“My favorite restaurant on Cannery Row! Great service every time and great food!!“

“love the burgers,it's worth your money.“

“We generally like the sushi here because we get basic quick rolls that don’t require much(like us). But almost every time I get these vegetarian yam rolls, the yam comes out raw and it’s very difficult to eat because I don’t want to eat raw sweet potato/yam. And since I am a vegetarian, I like to have a little bit more protein, But I can’t really have that if I can’t eat the yam. Other than that, my husband loves his rolls that he gets, like the Pebble Beach.“

“Such a cute little restaurant! Staff was very nice and welcoming and the food is delicious! 10/10 definitely recommend!“

“Beautiful spot, quaint and cozy, generous portions, expertly executed.“

“The seasoning on the chicken wings was absolutely incredible—crispy, perfectly balanced, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was delicious. The fries were excellent as well, and the homemade spicy BBQ sauce took everything to another level. The classic American atmosphere made the whole experience even more authentic. Highly recommended!“

“This is a must try in Monterey!! The owner was so sweet - my brother and I were staying in a hotel while visiting and she even provided all the utilities and specially asked what we need. The noodles and tofu were all so well prepared and delicious - so many vegetarian options to choose from! Also, the mango boba was a refreshing drink! She also provided appetizers for us to try and even accommodated my vegetarian diet restrictions. It's so rare that you find a family owned hidden gem like this, make sure it's on your list for Monterey!“

“A cozy and lively place with high quality food and very pleasant vibe. This is not the first time I come. I have tried a couple of dishes here before (e.g. schnitzels, fondues, goulash soup, sand dabs, geschnetzeltes) and they are all excellent. I came today at odd hour (after 2pm) so I took a picture with no crowd.
Service is excellent and friendly. Comfortable environment.
A must-go place every time I visit Carmel.“

“Great food, wonderful service and awesome atmosphere!“
