We had an outstanding dinner with locally caught fish, excellent wines, and gracious service. Our only complaint was that our server became distracted by a large table near the end of our meal. Because of that, we ended up skipping dessert and an after-dinner drink in favor of leaving for a stroll down Cannery Row.

Have finished 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts here. Service is very slow so be prepared to wait. Food was ok; not the best I have had. Ceviche was very fishy while the steak was very well done when asked for medium. We had the same waiter twice and he is not very informed on the offerings of the restaurant. In... More

Great food, clean and attractive both inside and out. Views of the water from most seats. It is a quite pricey, but unlike most places on Cannery Row I think you are getting what you paid for.

Nice views! Pricey (but not more than the area), we had a very nice brunch here. Helpful, but not fast, service. Don't come in a hurry, plan to share a pot of coffee while you wait for your breakfast!

My son and I had a lovely lunch by an oceanside window. The food was unusual and different and perfectly suited to his low-card diet. Service was excellent, especially from Carlos.

Had 25th Anniversary weekend breakfast for 17. Everyone raved about their food. I would make a special trip back just for the lamb hash. Beautifully presented dishes for a reasonable price for what you are getting. Kyle and his staff provide top notch service. Used "the library" room. Two sets of French doors which opened up to the Bay sounds... More

Three of us enjoyed a light lunch of crab salad: very good; clam chowder: excellent; grilled artichoke: overcooked and mushy. Great site, on Monterrey Bay, and the best jazz guitarist/singer ever!

We recently had dinner here with our 2 kids, and the food was great, and the price was reasonable for such an upscale restaurant. Considering the loud and busy options in Cannery Row, the food, service and view cannot be beat at this restaurant. Diane was our server, and she had a natural friendliness and was knowledgeable about the menu... More
