Great view and happy hour. Their seafood specials are great. Service can be a bit slow but everybody is friendly. For a place aimed at a tourist crowd I was pleasantly surprised by the quality, prep, and presentation of the food.

For a restaurant in the heart of a super touristy area, the place was outstanding. We ordered the lobster risotto and heart of Monterey special.

The most important part of a seafood restaurant is whether the fish was fresh, and it definitely was. Great preparation as well. Our server was Nelson, who was also outstanding. We didn't feel like awkward tourists and he was very helpful. We also were seated right on the water, a beautiful view of the bay. ...READ LESS

This place was amazing. The view was great and the service was great! Generous portions and great selection. The seafood was fresh and prepared well. It was busy but we didn't wait long to be served.

We had Rockefeller oysters and they are quite good ,my dad had a mai tai I believe and it came in a gold pineapple which was pretty cool. I had one of the chef special which was a rack of lamb and three large prawns with mashed potatoes and that was one of the best rack of lamb's that I've had. My dad had a chef special as well with three different seafood's plus a crabcake but what he didn't realize with the seafood was inside a pasta shell but he said it was very tasty and filling. I had some of the crabcakes and it was one of the better ones that I've had which is saying a lot since I'm not the hugest fan of crab.Staff was friendly and when I told them we were there for a birthday, they provided a birthday note and free dessert with a candle and it was quite yummy. ...READ LESS

We went in right at noon, which worked out in our favor because the lovely hosts were able to seat us right away. We had an amazing table right at the water front. SO beautiful! We were greeted by our really sweet server, Deni. She was on top of it! Very cheerful, while maintaining professionalism, expressive while describing the specials and menu, and was so great answering questions and recommendations. She was amazing and definitely helped make our lunch the highlight of our day! Whenever I'm in the area again, I will definitely go back and ask to sit in her section. Food: OMG! Started off the some shrimp nachos. They were delish and had some sort of smoky flavor to them. They were perfect to start. The shrimp was fresh. Next, we ordered half a dozen oysters. Once again, FRESH! The fixings were perfect and the presentation was clean. After that, hubbs and I ordered a cup of the clam chowder....WOW! One of the best cups of clam chowder I've ever had!! The menu stated it was award winning, I didn't think too much of it because a lot of places just say stuff like that....but nope! I can totally see why. So full of flavor with just the right amount of clams, potato's, etc. I I'm salivating typing this. Lastly, we were getting pretty full. Mr ordered a salad, Deni said was her favorite. He enjoyed it and I opted for coconut prawns. Ending our delicious lunch casually. All in all, fantastic! We were very pleased with everything! One of our best experiences in Monterey! Thank you, Fish Hopper and thank you, Deni! ...READ LESS
