Monterey's Fish House Monterey Reviews from The Last Year
Best meal we had in California
From the outside you'd have no idea what treats are in store. My son spotted the restaurant the previous day and said hey dad that looked busy. we booked and turned up and as there were only two of us decided to sit at the bar which was a great choice. Our waiter was excellent veryhelpful and attentive. He shucked our oysters and asked about our tastes. Suggested great wine and great fish. we had blackened snapper sine squid and octopus Fresh and tasty as you could hope for!
My critical review is based mostly on Monterey Fish House's
My critical review is based mostly on Monterey Fish House's way of presenting its menu, which seems challenging at best and scammy at worst. We (my wife and I) I thought it was odd that the waiter listed off six or seven dishes on the "specials" list. ( I had to get him to repeat it again and I saw another male customer roll his eyes as the waiter was running through the long list). We ended up ordering two of the dishes, an artichoke seafood dish (a mix of shrimp, mussels in a white sauce) and a crab ravioli in a red sauce and crab cake dish. This was lunch and the typical entrees like this on the menu were around $30. The waiter never mentioned prices, so we were shocked when we got the bill, for $40 apiece. Total bill, including taxes, tips (2 coffees), was way over $100. No alcoholic drinks of dessert. For LUNCH. First they should cut down the list of "specials." If not, at least print out a little insert, with prices, and add with the menu so customers can see what they're ordering. This way, It feels like they're hiding the prices. The quality of the food was mixed: my wife's artichoke dish was delicious. I wasn't as crazy about my crab ravioli. For $40 I expected something a bit more unique. The setting was nice and cozy but there's no ocean or any kind of view- just a highway. The service was excellent so I left a good tip but we both left with a, uh, bad taste in our mouths. Monterey Fish House should be more transparent if they're going to charge top prices like this and expect customers to return.

Sat outside with a 4 people group for 45 minutes just for them sit a 2 person group at a 4 people table when they came after us with no reservation. Seriously upsetting.
Monterey's Fish House is a cozy, bustling local seafood
Monterey's Fish House is a cozy, bustling local seafood spot. My party of eight waited for 40 minutes on a Saturday evening which is not bad, considering we were told the wait would be an hour. Our server was friendly and efficient. The highlight of the meal was the oak grilled oysters! They were absolutely incredible-smoky, large, juicy, and honestly the reason why I'm giving this review 4 stars. I enjoyed my Sicilian Holiday pasta, which had lots of seafood, and I always like to save the complimentary sesame bread and dip it in the broth! As for the things I wasn't so keen on, the fettuccine pasta was quite thick. It also seemed like clam pastas sat on the pass for some time while the other dishes were being finished. All three clam pastas were all a bit cold by the time all the entrees arrived, whereas my Sicilian pasta was piping hot. So, the timing could've been better. The clam pasta could also use more flavor besides butter and garlic. Overall, the grilled oysters and Sicilian Holiday pasta were tasty, but I've had better seafood out there in general, especially given the price.
I wanted so much to love Monterey Fish House but alas.
.. Came here for lunch and we were seated immediately. Food: Appetizers: * Fried calamari: 3/5 didn"t taste fresh. previously frozen and fried .. * clam chowder: 2/5 didn't taste fresh. * Ahi tuna soecial: 3/5 Me and my Nana both ordered the ahi-tuna specials The tuna was a bit overcooked. Came with vegetables and pasta. The vegetables were soggy carrots, zucchini and broccoli... Service: 5/5 Service was top notch. All of the waiters were helpful and attentive. always made sure my soda was refilled. And hot fresh bread always refilled. Overall, I would not return. The service was wonderful but the food was lackluster....
My wife took me out to dinner on my 72 birthday in
My wife took me out to dinner on my 72 birthday in Monterey, CA. We had viewed Guy Fieri's, a fellow Santa Rosa CA residents, review of the Restaurant on Dinners, drive ins and dives, Triple D's as Guy would say. I grew up in San Mateo CA and my Uncle was a fisherman out of the wharf in San Francisco, so good fresh sea food is part of the fabric of my life. That being said we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent food and service at the Monterey's Fish House. Mathew a 28 year fixture at the bar where we chose to sit not only entertained us but guided us through the menu with care, as he shucked oysters and served drinks to other customers. I started with the BBQ Baby Octopus Hmmmmmm, delicious! My wife ordered 1/2 dozen oysters in the half shell. again Delicious! Then came our entre I had the Sicilian Seafood Paste, best seafood combination I have ever eaten. Fresh pasta made daily, Octopus, Mussels, Clams, Rock fish, Salmon, and Shrimp I asked for a lemon butter wine sauce with just the correct amount of garlic, my Genovese Grandfather was smiling at the choice. My bride chose the Filet of Sole Piccata, again delicious! Both portions were not weight watchers portions, quite literally the portions were twice the size that you would find at a normal seafood restaurant and half the price. If you are hungry and love seafood this is the place in Northern California, specifically Monterey go there. Tell Mathew, Sheri and Geri sent you!

I make a reservation here at Monterey's fish house for 3 people and went we arrived the reservation was not there, the hostess said that they did not have any reservation for us, and we made it a day before ... would like to know seriously this place takes its customers reservations??..... I see other customers complained about the some thing... RESERVATIONS.
Normally, I'm a big fan of this place, but tonight was a
Normally, I'm a big fan of this place, but tonight was a huge letdown. The food, usually spot on, arrived lukewarm and chewy. To top it off, my daughter's meal showed up 20 minutes after ours, blazing hot and completely wrong (seriously, how do you mess up a cheeseburger with ketchup only?). Service was practically nonexistent; I had to flag someone down just to get the check, which then took another 15 minutes to get my card back. And don't even get me started on our to-go dessert, which melted while we waited for the check. Hopefully, it was just an off night, it was a major disappointment, so we won't be returning. The only saving grace tonight was the staff refilling water and bread, if I could tip them directly I would, our waiter avoided his tables like the plague. Moreover, despite having a reservation and requesting a more kid-friendly table, we were told to seat ourselves, so I'm not really sure what the hostess does.
First time here and this place is awesome.
It's a small place but it was packed with people waiting. The food is outstanding and fresh. We got the soup of day which shrimp bisque that is excellent. We got the clam chowder with homemade pasta and the chippino. Definitely worth the 5 star rating. Fast service after ordered and definitely worth the wait. Would come here again next time we are in Monterey.
One of my fav's!!! Small establishment but BIG on taste!!!

Cross county trip
Great food and service. We have been dining here for over 20 yeas when we come to Monterey and the food and service are great. Highly recommend.
Amazing locals find.
Great food and a fair price points. Enjoyed the environment. Waiters were very sweet. Hope to come back again sooner than later.
What a find after a long day flying from Detroit, driving
What a find after a long day flying from Detroit, driving from Fresno and then to find out this was a stop on Guy Fieri #DDD. Food was superb as was the service. Our waiter started rattling off specials as we said we were unsure of what to get from so many great looking menu options and he said no need for the menu when you hear the specials. So true. The Swordfish medallions cooked to perfection and bathed in a decadent sauce with vegetables that may have been picked locally were also cooked with the right care. Also at the table my coworker went with the crab ravioli and crab cake off the menu special and again couldn't go wrong with this. Tender chunks of crab in both and pasta that may have been made in Italy to complement the dishes. Great food, people, and especially pricing for this Monterey hidden gem.
This place is amazing! The customer service is 2nd to none!
This place is amazing! The customer service is 2nd to none! We felt right at home! The food was absolutely delicious! The Sole fish piccata style, Ahi Tuna, shrimp bisque and the Oak Grilled oysters! Highly recommend! Do yourself a favor and pop in here for lunch!
Rude hostess.
We had reservations for 10 people. I asked if the tables that just emptied out were for us. She said they had other reservations and we could wait or just leave. We left. Was not going to spend over $500 plus tip to be treated so rudely by a 20 year old and a manager who did not seem to care.
The scallop pasta and oysters were amazing! Exceptional
The scallop pasta and oysters were amazing! Exceptional service and great atmosphere. Would recommend to everyone!
We came here for dinner and it was a good seafood
We came here for dinner and it was a good seafood restaurant. The inside is small and it get very busy at night. We started with the crab cake and it was awesome. Then one person had the sole and the other person had Ahi tuna. Both fish were excellent. Our server was excellent and very friendly. Overall, this is a great old school seafood restaurant. The prices are very reasonable and that is nice for Monterey.
Crab ravioli was amazing as well as blackened sea bass but
Crab ravioli was amazing as well as blackened sea bass but the grilled sole was so bland. Great ambiance and service.
Service was impeccable.
Aaron is a rock star. The sheer number of specials is a sight to behold..or hear I should say. You can pretty much order whatever fresh seafood they have the way you want it. I chose the blackened sea bass and it was absolutely delicious. Just a slight hint of heat and cooked perfectly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful, fresh seafood fix.
Overpriced underwhelming food.
In addition, the clam chowder was the worst I have ever had. Absolutely no clams, no clam flavor whatsoever. You'd be much better off going to Safeway and getting their clam chowder from the deli.
Iconic Seafood For the Non-Traditional Traveler
Locals know where to eat. And sometimes we tourists stumble upon their favorite restaurant. This place is small, out of the tourist areas and wildly popular with fresh seafood from local fishing boats. We heard about it from friends who also stumbled upon it. Check it out online and make your reservation. We had the grilled snapper and the grilled sole, and began with the fried calamari. It's old Monterey, no tourist menu here.
A Monterey hidden gem
We were searching for a restaurant a little “off the beaten path” of tourists. I think we have found one in Tami terry Fish House. The interior spoke of years and years of serving great seafood. We just had to try them out. Aaron was an informative, kind, and accommodating host to us at our lunch. We ordered a plate of oakwood grilled oysters. We quickly realized 6 was not enough between the two of us. So, we ordered another round! They were too generous with the salad dressing on their house salad. So, that was not great. But the fish, a perfectly grilled sea bass topped with some pesto sauce was a dream! I wish they did not overcook their side veggies. And maybe provided some variety. There was just too much zucchini. Would have liked more broccoli and other greens. My husband’s grilled baby octopus with rice and veggies was tender and tasty as well. We shared a chocolate ganache cake. I wonder if this was an old batch. The cake pieces were bone dry. The icing in between and ganache on top saved it a little. We will definitely come back. We both agreed the place shows much promise!
The swordfish incredible
Excellent place, great service, great company, great food, thanks for all your attention, I'll be back for sure, Salmon grilled I wanted
Bad fish in Monterey!!!
Fish was old and bad. No taste, poorly prepared. You go out because you want better than you can do at home. Calamari, hard overcooked, eggplant on top burnt! Want good fish in Monterey don’t go here
DISHONEST MGMT AND TASTELESS SEAFOOD,
DISHONEST MGMT AND TASTELESS SEAFOOD, The tip amount was doubled on our credit charge, and the manager refused to correct it. Unless we had in our possession the actual receipt, which was not given. Who saves restaurant receipts for a few days? Get real. The shrimp in our Caesar salad tasted like it had been frozen for a couple of years. Our main course of fish had no flavor. It is a shame they have gone downhill. In our previous yearly visits the food was very good. The waitress was lovely. The regular chef was out for the holidays. The sub chef was subpar. We feel the manager could have been more helpful resolving this issue. The sub chef was subpar. We just wanted help adjusting the tip and the manager was not helpful.
Consistently Good
We had a 5:00 reservation and arrived at 4:55, there was already a small line at the door. The doors opened at 5:00 and we were seated immediately. Clemente delivered water and bread, followed by our server, Darwin who greeted us and took our drink order. The restaurant is small and tables are positioned close together. For appetizer we had crab ravioli which was tasty but they could have been warmer. My wife had the swordfish, which was a large portion and was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Vegetables were excellent as well. I had the Prawn pasta with vodka sauce which was good. Darwin was the star of the show taking his time to talk to us and even suggest a breakfast spot in Carmel for us. Overall, a good meal and experience.
A great, big disappointment
A great, big disappointment; we went to the Fish House a few years back, and wanted to repeat the experience. Our oysters were almost inedible with shell fragments in most of them. Crab cakes were a a solid, pre-fab experience. The mock-jovial service did not help. We're unlikely to come back.
Do not miss
I heard all about the long lines, but phoned on the day (late afternoon) and booked a table ! It was excellent. Although it was REALLY busy (and yes, people queuing outside), the service and food was amazing, I had blackened snapper, pasta and veg. Delicious.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Best answer by 👻 @HandsomeCollar14 (06/29/2022 11:31 am)4 Thumbs Up6 Answers, 3 commentsWorking on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Best answer by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (09/18/2021 1:07 am)3 Thumbs Up1 Answer, 2 commentsWhere do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
Best answer by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/13/2021 9:05 pm)3 Thumbs Up12 Answers, 2 commentsWhat happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
