The Sardine Factory

We ordered the world-renowned cheese bread, prime rib, and lobster ravioli. The cheese bread was just okay; while it may be deserving of its world-famous reputation, we found it...

The ambiance of this restaurant is absolutely charming. It feels like someone anticipated Ronald Reagan coming back to life and decorated the place just for him. Bring your partner and dress to impress...

This is probably my favorite restaurant to eat at of all time. Even though I don't drink anymore, I would still order Mike's Irish coffee just for the amazing smell. Marty is the best Maitre d' I've ever encountered. Visualizza piatti

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!

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!

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. Visualizza piatti

We came here for a birthday and they certainly took excellent care of us. We started with the smoked sardine appetizer. The Sommelier recommended a nice Louis Roderer champagne which paired perfectly with the sardines. The prawn pasta was delicious and the dover sole was sublime. Large portions, great service, beautiful atrium. They gave us a birthday carrot cake with candle which was a nice touch. The wine list is expansive and staggering. It happened to be the Sardine Factory's 56th year anniversary the chef that has been there for 56 years came out and greeted all the guests, a beautiful surprise. We will be back!

This restaurant is especially suited to a special occasion with friends/family. Luxurious nautical decor (no, that's not a contradiction in terms , white-linen settings, quiet, an astonishing wine list and cocktails, top notch service throughout the dinner, very friendly, attentive-without-being-intrusive wait staff. Our dinners included cocktails, a bottle of CA wine, two appetizers (dozen lovely oysters, crab-stuffed mushrooms , 3 mains, 3 dessert drinks for about $130 each, a great value. The quality of the seafood (what else would you get? was very high. Male guests were wearing everything from jeans/collared shirts to sports coats, women pretty casual to very well turned-out.

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.
