Monterey Bay Fish Grotto

We had an enjoyable celebration dinner! Everything from start to finish was amazing. Service was A++! Will definitely go back! A gem in the city with beautiful views!

Food was ok. The noise level was terrible. Very crowded, not what I expected as a five star experience. Of course the views were outstanding. Service was excellent. Just very overpriced for items that are served in low end seafood restaurants. Will not go back.

Our waiter was kind, courteous and very informative in explaining the menu and dish selections.

Everything about our anniversary dinner was amazing! Max, our waiter, made the experience even better. Definitely a must try for a special dinner, especially with such gorgeous views of the city.

Wonderful views and great service. The crab cakes are worth a share. The angel food cheesecake finishes off the the meal.

Our large party had a wonderful experience celebrating a college graduation at Monterey Bay. Our group was accommodated at a table with a beautiful view of The Point. The service was exceptional, and we felt very welcome and special. We were not rushed, our graduate was made to feel extra special with complimentary dessert, and unique postcards signed by the table. The staff even offered to take our pictures in front of the amazing view. The food was very good, albeit pricier than what we are accustomed to, but we knew that when we made the reservations. Highly recommend for a special event.

Food, service, and ambience were fabulous! It was a pleasure to have Molly as our waitress this evening. She was very helpful with recommendations and checked on us frequently throughout the evening.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Great views, several floors up overlooking a mountain top above the city. Ambient lighting and music add to the atmosphere. Food is very fresh and cooked perfectly! The bar has several areas to drink and just relax as well. $5 cash only tram ride to come up from the city to the neighborhood the restaurant is in.

The starters weren't really a great... start but the main dishes pulled through.
The oysters were mediocre, didn't taste of anything. I would have also liked to see a more creative topping. The filet mignon sliders were very soggy and the bottom bun disintegrated as we picked it up. But it was paired with a very flavourful beef bone broth.
Both the Chilean sea bass and red snapper were unique and delicious in different ways! The Chilean sea bass was fresh and light while the red snapper was a comforting curry dish.
Service was good, staff were very friendly.
It was a bit of a wait when leaving the restaurant as there was only one elevator and many tables were leaving at the same time.

We had 6pm reservations for a 7:30pm show...we told the waitress and she made sure our food and drinks were spot on and prompt, had a five star dinner in an hour and 10 minutes and could not have been more appreciative...we have been here dozens of times and the atmosphere, service and food quality is always on point!
