Was in Monterey on business and had a team dinner here. When planned I thought the name was familiar and walking up to it triggered my memory. My wife and I had been here before.
The flashback was oh great right in the middle of a very touristy area. Food is going to be ok..... well we were wrong then and the Hopper still brings it.
The place sits right at the end of a pier and has a beautiful view of the bay. Most of the time you will see some wildlife in the water. Birds, seals, otters, whales.... Amazing view. They have a great outside area for when the weathers decent. Even if it's a little cold they have heaters.
The inside is very inviting and has lots of tables looking out onto the bay.
The service is great, drinks are wonderful and the food is worth coming back for.
Don't side step this place thinking it's in a tourist trap and only serves mediocre food. Step in, grab a cocktail, have a great meal and enjoy the views.
