Loved it!!! Wow!! From beginning to end just “wow”-we sat outside and it was perfect weather- had drinks and oyster Rockefeller and it was the best we ever had!! I had local fresh halibut and my husband had the Taste of Monterey - both were amazing- finished up with Crème Brûlée !! Service was excellent!! Hugo was fun and attentive ! Loved it- highly recommend
Outstanding food, service, and views The food, service, and views were all outstanding. My wife had the macadamia crusted halibut and I had the abalone special. The food was perfectly prepared and the portions were generous. Our server Jerry was great, too.
AGreat view with amazing food This was a wonderful lunch spot before we heading into the aquarium. The views we so peaceful and the food was not only delicious they were beautifully plated. We had the Calamari appetizer. It was the perfect size to split with 2-3 people. The breading and cook on the calamari was perfectly done. For lunch we had the Halibut fish and chips , The Cobb salad, the Crab Louie Salad and shrimp salad and the Tuna and coconut shrimp special. I would certainly recommend this place for an upscale lunch. Loved it.
Top experience We booked Fog Harbor (SF) and this place expecting them to be similar. However, Fish Hopper blew Fog Harbor out of the water from our experience. We thought the food was a step up, the service was better, the atmosphere less hectic but the real clincher was the wildlife views. There were seals and sea otters all over the place and one sea otter came right over to the window, dived down, grabbed a big red crab and floated off ripping its legs off. Pure National Geographic stuff from the dinner table. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
A Favorite Restaurant Revisited When I retired in 2015, my husband and I spent a month on the Big Island. We found The Fish Hopper and it became our favorite “go-to” restaurant the food was excellent, the staff always friendly, and we loved the ocean view! When the cruise ship dropped anchor in Kona this week, the first thing I did was go looking for The Fish Hopper! It did not disappoint! It was wonderful to discover that it is still there, and just as excellent as I had remembered. The Crab, Avocado and Cheese omelette is the best I’ve ever had, yummy crab in literally every bite! Tobi was friendly, kept the coffee coming, and kindly answered my questions and chatted with me about memories. If you find yourself in Kona looking for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a dinner, I highly recommend you try The Fish Hopper!
Amazing Food & Service My husband and I were at Monterey to celebrate our 26th anniversary and we're glad to dine at THE FISH HOPPER Seafood and Steak! The ambiance, service, drinks and great selection of food! I would like give a good Shout out to one of the best waiters we've encountered! Thank You BRENT for an outstanding service and amazing food! The steak and shrimp was perfect! You made our anniversary extra special for our delicious dessert ( brownie, ice cream and strawberry!) with the Happy anniversary written on it😍 Thank You again!! ❤️🙏🏼❤️ This restaurant is definitely one of the best restaurants in Monterey! ❤️
Great dinner at a restaurant with a great view of the beautiful Monterey Bay My wife and I had visited Monterey a few times but never went to the Fish Hopper on any of the trips. We brought her mom along this time and we had dinner at the restaurant on the last night of our trip. We were left wondering why we had waited so long! All three of us had a great dinner. Mom had a chicken dish while the wife and I both had seafood. My spicy seafood pasta was great and my wife’s meal was also great. Just before we left we were joined by one of the local residents who we found was well behaved! Make sure that your next visit to Monterey and Cannery Row includes a stop at the Fish Hopper!
Amazing Food with wonderful Views of the Bay We were here on a Saturday for lunch. The wait was minimal. We we’re seated at the windows with a perfect view of the bay. Ordered the Watermelon Mojito and it was delicious. Our table ordered the calamari, the fish and chips, the Cioppino and the Crab PoBoy. All of the food was fresh and tasty. Well seasoned and large portions. Our waiter on the other hand was very serious, he didn’t engage or interact with us at all. That part was disappointing for such a wonderful time. We were there for the food and family so we made the most of it! The food was worth the trip.
Stil great after all these years……. Stopped in Monterey on our way home from a family wedding in Santa Maria. After checking into our B and B we went to FishHopper for dinner for the first time in 10 years. Same great atmosphere and food as if it were last month .My wife had the Crab and Shrimp Louie. Best she has ever had, she said. I had the pasta Isabella with bay shrimp, scallops, and clam meat. Served with a creamy garlic sauce. We plan on going back in August if all goes well. Great service as always. Keep up the good work.
DELICIOUSNESS The seared ahi tuna was so freakin delicious. The wasabi sauce & ponzu that comes with it was great too. The rice & veggies were perfect. YUM! Also got the tiramisu & it was delectable 🤤 Pretty views. Great, friendly, prompt service. Had the toasted pina colada too & it wasn’t nearly as sweet as usual which I actually appreciated bc it wasn’t overly filling. Crab stuffed mushrooms were pretty good! Thought the coconut prawns were a little over crispy & a bit dry inside? but still good flavor & good dipping sauce. Craving that tuna ever since! Would def go back for that alone!
