I was late due to traffic. They still sat all 7 of us. The waiter was friendly and prompt. She was very attentive and funny. She suggested excellent bottle of wine and food choices. The general manager came by, greeted us and gave a background of his history. He handed me his business card & VIP card. Awesomeness! Everyone was happy with food choices. This dish I posted was so good. I don't see it on the online menu. I also shared a slice of keylime pie. I posted my experience on FB & IG and folks were asking me did I try the calamari, the clam chowder. Folks were responding about this restaurant. I did not have Calamari, but I did try the clam chowder it was delish. No bacon that was a plus for me, and it was not runny or had that flour taste. It was great. I will definitely be back. ...READ LESS

Donnie was our waiter, and provided AMAZING service. He checked in frequently, and made sure we were taken care of. The food was delicious. Will be back.

Great server and great food with great presentation! So pretty to look at and yummy to eat!

My favorite restaurant in Monterey, they never fail to satisfy my bottomless stomach. My girlfriend and I usually order the platter for two which is enough to feed two people... The quality of the food is better than your average Hell's Kitchen, the service beats Chick-fil-A 100/0, you can't...

The quality of the food is better than your average Hell's Kitchen, the service beats Chick-fil-A 100/0, you can't get any better than this and you know it. Grow up. If you're trying to get out the friend zone take them here and thank me later. ...READ LESS

Though I am wheelchair bound , the staff made sure I was treated equally & went above an beyond to make me comfortable. We had the best seat in the house in my opinion and also the sweetest server Kaitlyn she is so nice , always kept our cup full , & our table candle lit lol so romantic
We couldn't ask for a better waitress.
Thank you Kaitlyn & the Fish Hopper staff for the amazing Experience! We will be back ...READ LESS

My bf suggested this restaurant and I wasn't too excited at first because I'm not a big fan of American food or seafood ):

As soon as we arrived, we were seated right the way. We were struggling on what to order because we didn't know what was good but our server was rlly helpful and recommend us a couple delicious dishes. We ordered taste of monterey, poke nachos, bacon wrapped scallops, & a side of clam chowder with bread! Our food came out in abt 10-15 min which is rlly fast! All of the dishes were beautiful and tbh I didn't want to eat it bc it was jus plated so nicely.

Taste of Monterey - 8/10
Bacon wrapped scallops - 10/10 (my favorite out of everything!)
poke nachos - 10/10
clam chowder - 10/10

Thank you to our server for being so efficient and kept checking on us! The food was delicious and I will definitely take my family & friends here in my next visit to Monterey! ...READ LESS

The food was fantastic! The service was also very well done. The thing that I believe was the greatest asset to this restaurant was the view.

The service was also very well done. The thing that I believe was the greatest asset to this restaurant was the view. As you eat, the bay wildlife was playing around the tables. The view was enough to give this restaurant the extra star. For the amount of money you will spend, it was what I expected for the quality of the food. Since the day was a busy one, the service was also good.

I will tell you that if you're hungry and money is no object, order the "for two" meals. The amount of food is really for four, and so is the price (market price).

I would eat here again to try other dishes because my friends and I share meals to gain the whole experience, and everything we ordered tasted good. ...READ LESS

Great view and food!

We were some first timers and wont be the last! Came here for lunch and we were so happy with the service and food. Wait was only about 20 minutes and we were able to hang out at the bar while we waited.

Came here for lunch and we were so happy with the service and food. Wait was only about 20 minutes and we were able to hang out at the bar while we waited.

We were seated with an ocean view which was spectacular and a nice treat to enjoy over lunch. Our server was Ernie! He was very personable, friendly and attentive. My girlfriend ordered the taste of Monterey and I got the blackened ribeye with broiled shrimp over risotto. Sooooo good! We also shared a small cup of chowder which we immediately regretted not getting a bigger serving of. Prices were what you could expect at a seafood restaurant. We also ordered a 60 oz margarita to share... which i highly suggest to not underestimate because it definitely had a good pour of alcohol in it lol. We would definitely return and appreciate Ernie for sharing with us a loyalty type card to get free appetizers when we return. ...READ LESS
