Welcome to Windows on the Water. For years I have been dedicated to providing our guests with organic, locally farmed produce. This commitment extends to our nearby farms and fisheries as I only purchase sustainably raised livestock and seafood. All our farmed products are; free range, grass fed, or raised in healthy environments with no added hormones or antibiotics, which means it’s healthier for you.
All our seafood is either wild-caught, or farmed in ways that follow the guidelines of the Seafood Watch Program in Monterey Bay. As public awareness has heightened in the last few years about what we are consuming, I only purchase high quality products and receive deliveries every day to insure freshness.
Executive Chef, Neil Smith
Dishes with Californian, French & Mediterranean influences served in a space with waterfront views.

My husband and I had dinner one Thursday night here while we were on vacation. We made a reservation the day before without a problem. We requested a reservation 30 minutes before sunset so we could ensure we would be able to see while having dinner. The restaurant is on the second floor. There are stairs and an elevator available. We were seated by a window with the most gorgeous view. We ordered oysters (from the Pacific) and Brussels sprouts as appetizers. My husband had their soup of the day. It was all delicious. The oysters were fresh and cleaned well. The brushless sprouts were flavorful and crunchy. My husband enjoyed his soup too. For main courses, my husband ordered the NY steak. It was cooked to perfection. It was very tasty and the portion being 12 Oz was filling. I ordered the local black cod and I was over the moon. I usually don’t enjoy cod but since I didnt translate the name of the fish to Spanish (I know fishes by their Spanish name), I ordered based on the menu description. I’m so glad I did that. I guess I had never had cod cooked the right way before because it was fantastic. I still think about that dish. Finally, we ordered the lemon mousse for dessert. It was creamy, sweet, and tart. It was the perfect ending to our dinner. The service was perfect too. Our server was welcoming, had great recommendations, and came by at the right times. We didn’t feel overwhelmed but also we didn’t feel neglected. It was just right. We would 100% visit again!

We had an awesome dinner here with fantastic food, superb view and excellent service. We had the pear salad, crab cakes, sand dabs and the butterscotch creme brulee. Absolutely fantastic!!! It was all so good we wanted to come back the next night and order it all again. Highly recommend!!! It’s not cheap but it was one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten.

We always go out of our way to make it to Windows on the Water when we visit the coast. The food is always great! And the views for sunset are perfect.

Charming spot along the water, with excellent dishes and a great happy hour at the bar. We came in on a very rainy night so it was a bit quieter, but we loved the free lightning and thunderstorm show from inside! I’m sure it’s gorgeous and packed when the weather is nice.
Service was wonderful (shoutout to Chantal!), the oysters were perfect, and the pork loin was a MUST have. We’ll be back!

The food was a mix, few dishes were good, few missed the mark. The steak was very dry, chewy and not up to the mark. The view is very good as the name suggests. Service is quick, prices are on a slightly higher side but not exorbitant.

The food were great, service was quick, and attentive. Seafood were fresh, reasonably priced. The place inside is small compared to other restaurant in the same area. But they have outside seating, good depending on the weather. Parking is difficult. We had clam chowder, clam pasta, and Today’s special Ahi.

First time there. Had to make reservations for dinner on a Saturday so my boyfriend and I dressed nice for a date night. The place had great atmosphere, excellent lighting and the wait staff were very nice and professional. I was, however, disappointed that they didn’t have any sort of dress code. We are local and were bummed to see people there in sweatshirts and flip flops, like they just walked in from the beach, when we had to make our dinner reservation a week prior.
We had the steak and the halibut. The steak was a perfect medium rare and had wonderful flavor. The halibut was also cooked perfectly but was paired with cooked spinach and together did not compliment well. I ate the halibut and was very pleased with it and finished the spinach separately.
All in all it was a nice experience and the food was good and we will be back.

Fun place to go for the holidays but even though we were there at 6:30 they had run out of a lot of items. I couldn’t get my cocktail of choice, the sand dabs had just run out, the bottle of wine we wanted was gone, our first choice of table bread – gone. It was pretty frustrating.
