    This restaurant has a beautiful view, they have huge window glasses where you can see the ocean right there. The food here is just about average. ordered two pizzas and a five item cheeseboard, and smoke salmon. The service here…. Our server is actually pretty nice. Come here around 4 PM and since we have a group of six we are not able to sit on the table right next to the window. So after the drinks came, we went to take pictures on the table right next to the window. The waitress came and put a “reserved” thing on the table, but she didn’t really say anything about us take a picture there. And then two minutes later she came back with a grumpy face and asked to leave the table. It is totally OK for her to ask us to leave but I would really appreciate if she said that in a professional way. And I think the manager can totally do a much better job on training their associates on how to communicate with their customers better.

    One of my favorite wine tasting places because of the view, friendly staff and the affordable wines. Love the monterey crab dip too. If you call ahead of time you can ask for a view right in front of the ocean. Will come here every time I visit Monterey.

    Loved my afternoon visit. Had exquisite California wines and some delicious bisque. I spent time gazing at the peaceful Monterey Bay with sailboats and otters and sea birds. The atmosphere here is quiet, refined, and friendly. I chatted with some regulars here and longtime residents of the area. I had a lovely early evening.

    Came in for wine tasting for the wife. I'm not a wine drinker. Beautiful views and good snacks. We ordered the five piece charcuterie board with chef selected accompaniments. Everything was very yummy. We also ordered the Monterey Crab Dip. It's less of a dip and more of a spread to go with the sourdough bread that comes with it. Also yummy. My wife got the Rose All Day wine flight, which she really enjoyed. Awesome place. Good views. Tasty food. Would recommend and would come back. Thank you everyone!!

    Great food and drinks. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you don't know about the wine tasting or food pairings just ask for a suggestion. I was not disappointed in the options I was given.

    Great views of the water while enjoying a great selection of wines. Certainly a hidden gem amongst the prominent Cannery Row restaurants and wine tasting rooms.

    Loved my evening here! Attentive service, good food, and all with a great ocean view. My husband and I were visiting cannery row and meandered in for a quick drink. We ended up staying for food and a sunset. The crab dip was delicious, as was the clam chowder, which was unlike any I’ve ever tried. We were seated at a small table overlooking the water, which made for a great experience.

    You go here for the view. It’s amazing. It’s expensive but for the view it’s worth it. Recommend joining the wine club then toh get free weekly tastings if you live in the area. I will return

    A great place to try different local wines. There are a bunch of different wine flights you can choose. The food was great and the views were incredible.

    Perfect window-front seats to watch the Bay at play while we enjoyed flights of wine, tasty salads, soups, and hot sandwiches. Perfect afternoon date destination!

    Can't say enough. Food is amazing. Staff is even more amazing. But the view 😍. We had a full rainbow 🌈 Our server Scott was the best

    Had a good lunch outing. Service was friendly and great. Goof selection of wine flights and tasty appitizers. The view was peaceful and relaxing.

    Beautiful views by the windows and surprisingly quiet compared to nearby ocean-side restaurants. Calming music which was a nice treat. They have binoculars if you request them. Lovely staff. The Big Sur Golden Ale was delicious. Food was great too, although nachos a little over done. We saw otters and a whale 🐋

  • 5/5 Anshu V. 2 years ago on Google
    It has one of the best views I have seen from a restaurant. We could see whales breaching from our seats. The seats are slightly positioned towards the ocean so that you can talk to the person next to you while enjoying the whale-watching.

    Fabulous experience! Wine and beer flights, food and serving Associates...stylish art filled (locals) tasting room and quality gifts to purchase. On the water makes for a stunning location for such an enjoyable afternoon! Thank you!

  • 4/5 Mitch S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun place to stop and have a taste of the local wines. They represent dozens of Monterey area vineyards and have put together a nice selection to choose from. The nibbles that go along are reasonably priced. The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is the flights are a bit expensive for what you get.
