Reviews
We were told that the wait time for this restaurant was 30 minutes, turns out we waited for an hour and 15 minutes out in the cold. Giving a more detailed time, we got to the restaurant at 6:50 and got seated at 8:05.
Service:
When the 30 minute mark came up, we asked the girl (Matron D) with the red hair for an ETA on the wait time, she was being broad and we came out with us still not knowing an answer and wanting to leave. She also flipped to the page, where are our name was written down, and everyone’s names were crossed out, EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO CAME AFTER US was seated before us. I think this is unfair treatment. When we sat down, the waiter came and we told him we were ready to order, instead of taking our order, he told us a bunch of options – basically restating the menu- and we were confused because we just wanted to order.
Food:
Since we weren’t familiar with this area, we thought the wait was going to be short and ended up staying. The clam chowder came really fast and it was delicious. The bbq baby octopus tasted like charcoal. The clam pasta was soupy, and the pasta was very hard- as if it was undercooked and hard to swallow. The highlight of this dinner was definitely the salmon, although very pricey ($39) it was crispy on the top, juicy on the inside, and it was soft. I don’t know if it was the day, but they were out of stock on a lot of things like the swordfish, muscles, and more seafood. Although I don’t have a picture of one of the other foods we ordered (a hamburger), it was burnt on the side and very well done.
Had the crab cake and crab cake ravioli special, as well as the calamari steak parmesan. Right after we left, my wife and I talked about going back again 🙂
At 1st Cesar was attentive. Then he forgot about us. We felt overlooked & ignored. He forgot about our drinks the 2nd time around. (Looks like he was the waiter, bar tender, boss who’s main goal was to hurry up & close up)
My raviolis were cold. Ciopinno was watered down. Our bill was not right. Before leaving I used restroom & it was out of order. We just walked out w/ no Ty come again feeling
This was on our bucket list for many years. Left Disappointed.
A place we’ve returned to 3x… Highly recommend!
Now, for the food, we come here once every year when driving through this part of California as it’s always been amazing, but we went on 8/9/25 for dinner.
We ordered:
Fried calamari- $19, was a little bland, no seasoning really, usually the batter has some tasty seasoning but this was just plain calamari. Needs improvement.
Clam chowder- $14, terrible, no flavor, bland, very water, only a few(5 pieces) of clams in a bowl size. I rarely send food back at places but this one, I had to send back, because it was not worth the 14 bucks.
Crab cake appetizer- was good, only comes with one piece for $20 about the size of a hamburger patty.
Rib eye steak- $33, meat was tasty, meat was a little on the tough side even when cook a little more then medium.
Cioppino-$31, always a favorite, was delicious all the way, perfect size, can even be shared between two people.
So, I hope the owner see’s this review, something has changed here, I feel like someone is dropping the ball in managing the kitchen chef’s.
This restaurant used to be spot on with the food all the way but when it comes to making clam chowders, you need all the staff to taste it and speak the truth about it because this clam chowder was no where near what it used to be.
Also, me and my wife ordered the mind haze beers and they brought us 2 pilsners beers, I did not send those back because I did not wanna seem picky after sending back the clam chowder.
So I would say the owners need to be on top of this place, I even heard a few other patrons mention the food was not as good as in the past, so I’m not the only one with this opinion. I hope they make changes here, seems like things went a little down hill here for the prices.
This is more likely our last time going back here and will explore other options when visiting Monterey area.
