Crab House - Monterey

We visited here on Saturday, in the early afternoon for a late lunch. We did it because there were many free tables. You have a beautiful view into the port where you can watch the sea lions frolic without the usual noise! The menu has a good choice but not local seafood. The only local option I could see was the sardines that were not available when I tried to order them. I had the roasted garlic star who is huge and could easily be a main. Then my group had the fish and chips, and Calamari and chips. The chips are probably finished cut frozen, so not great. The third main court cab sandwich came as a chicken sandwich I sent back. Unfortunately, waiting for the right dish took so long, everyone had finished eating until it arrived. So no great experience there. There are probably better seafood places on the pier, but overall it was average.

We enjoy our meal there. The food was delicious, we had dinner. Our server was very nice. The view of the bay was great as there were a thousand seals that took over the place and were really funny to watch. The prices were reasonable. We would return.

Oh, my goodness! The best place to eat on the old Fisherman's Wharf! Amazing staff! Our waitress, Ameron was super friendly, polite, fast service and great with my Kiddos! This restaurant and ALL of its staff is super nice and child-friendly! The Calamari was amazing and every single bite was hot pierced! The children brought the Kalamari! The Cold Shrimp and Crab Sandwich was a melt in your mouth wonderland of delicious taste! Best bread bowl in ALL from Monterey! You have to get the bread bowl!!! Best service in ALL from Monterey!!!! This is a must to place!!!!

I loved the first visit, I had to come back a second time during my 4-day visit to Monterey
