The Sardine Factory - Monterey

The wine selection was fantastic! Everything was great. If I have to nitpick about what I didn't like, my rice with the crab stuffed prawns was dry. Will be going back! (Traducido por Google) La selección de vinos fue fantástica! Todo estuvo genial. Si tengo que criticar lo que no me gustó, mi arroz con gambas rellenas de cangrejo estaba seco. Volveremos!

I love this place. They have different rooms with different themes. The menu is wonderful and they have a great happy hour. David on the piano is amazing. You won't be disappointed. Cheers!

No te decepcionará. ¡Salud!

Another one of my favorite restaurants highly recommend. And live music. (Traducido por Google) Otro de mis restaurantes favoritos muy recomendable. Y música en vivo.

Definitely priced and geared towards tourists. I knew I should be concerned when I ordered a nearly 20 dollar martini up and it came with ice chips and the olives did not have pimento’s. The special was cioppino which I usually would get….but not for $69.00! I can get it in San Francisco for nearly half that. They have an extensive wine list with high end wines. But the wines by the glass are ironically lower end. Food was just okay. The servers however were gracious and attentive which is why I rated it 3 stars. Won’t be back. (Traducido por Google) Definitivamente tiene un precio y está orientado a los turistas. Sabía que debería preocuparme cuando pedí un martini de casi 20 dólares y venía con trocitos de hielo y las aceitunas no tenían pimiento. El especial era cioppino que normalmente obtenía… ¡pero no por $69.00! Puedo conseguirlo en San Francisco por casi la mitad. Tienen una extensa carta de vinos con vinos de alta gama. Pero los vinos por copa son irónicamente de gama baja. La comida estaba bien. Sin embargo, los servidores fueron amables y atentos, por lo que lo califiqué con 3 estrellas. No volveré.

Excellent service excellent cocktails and wine excellent food…enough said? We went here as first time visitors to Monterey, and not knowing the restaurant. We had a great experience, very helpful staff and food was superb. Next time we are in Monterey this will be our first choice. I had tuna my wife had prawns and both were excellent. Well worth the slightly higher cost over the places on cannery row.
