Down to earth and wonderful. May be the best chowder ever . Don't .remember the owners name - areal great guy. Transplanted from the Boston area. As other reviewers have said ( way above the commercial restaurants in Monterey). Try it

Much better prices than a lot of Monterey Seafood places( especially on Cannery Row or the Wharf. Unique items. I had a shrimp sandwich and my wife had a Crab sandwich(real crab). Can't recall seeing either very often. Mine came with a nice side salad. Hers with fries and chowder. Small place and pretty busy. People cycled thru quickly. Nice... More

Incredible food, knowledgeable,friendly attentive service, a value beyond belief... Ask for Kelly to serve you... We love the place, highly recommend to friends and family, and hope to be back very soon...

Good food, plenty of it and good service. There were 4 of us for lunch and we surely didn't leave hungry and cleaned our plates too. Nice homemade tastes and very satisfying. Good choices of hot teas as well. A good place to stop for lunch after going thru the aquarium.

We were told that this place had the best chowder, so naturally we had to try it. It comes served in a bread bowl or just a cup. The bread bowl comes with a plain topper or a garlic-cheese topper. Do yourself a favor and get the garlic cheese...it is the best thing ever, next to the chowder. Great to... More
