I really enjoyed Cannery Row and the scenic walk from my hotel at FIsherman's Wharf. Fish Hopper seemed to cater to both locals and the tourists which I loved. Its a bit overpriced. Stick to seafood - the steak was only okay. Also, don't waste your money on the huge fun drinks, they are way too sweet --- spend your... More

This has been one of my favorites for a long time on Cannery Row. Always good food, views and service. They made my Keoke coffee just how I like it. The four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

We've been to a lot of the restaurants in Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf over the years, but Fish Hopper is our favorite. While a bit overpriced, it is consistently good and tasty. Service can be spotty, but usually good. If you get a table by the window, you might see otters hanging out in the Bay.

Wife had the oysters on the half shell. Very large and full of flavor. I had the salmon sandwich. Delicious. Waitress recommended a half bottle of Chenin blanc. Great choice. Would eat here again.

My wife and I had dinner here. Views were very nice. Food was more on par with a chain seafood restaurant in the Midwest than higher end prices on the coast. Almost no fresh seafood on the menu which is a concern in this type of place. My wife's Crab Louie salad had small bits of shredded crab, tiny shrimp... More

Ate here twice whilst staying in Monterey. The food and views are truly amazing. It was an absolute delight to sit in such beautiful surroundings and watch the sea otters and seals from our table. The Ruby tini cocktail was pretty good too.

Stopped in for a quick bite and absolutely loved the chowder in the bread bowl of course.. We were on a road trip and the "Fish Hopper" had the best we tried along the coast all the way up to San Francisco. The atmosphere was very friendly and the kids loved the near by beach also.

I recently hosted a rehearsal dinner for 48 people at the Fish Hopper. I live in Texas, so along the way I simply had to trust that things would go well. Candice, their events coordinator, was always great about answering the many questions I had via email. Once we got to Monterey, I met with Candice in person and knew... More
