    The Old Fisherman’s Grotto is always amazing! This is my third time visiting. The Captains plate, Barbecued Oysters, Clam Chowder and the Pumpkin Cheesecake were all so delicious! I look forward to trying something new next time I return. 100% recommended trying this place!

    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with lunch at Schooner’s and it was perfect. We had a table outside overlooking the water. We ordered Shrimp tempura, Seafood Tostada, Garlic Parm Fries and a salad. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back when in Monterey.

    Shane was our server and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was top level. We shared appetizers and salads and main courses… no one had any complaints! We especially liked the crispy fingerling potatoes! Scallops over polenta were a big hit as well. Plus the restaurant has plenty of stories about its past.
