Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Pacific Grove

I’ve been meaning to get into this restaurant since it opened and finally made it in. The food was fabulous. Highest quality ingredients. The Duck Pate was so yummy, I can wait to go again for that starter. I had the Duck breast and my husband had the special of the night which was a mushroom risotto and both of us totally enjoyed our entrees. The homemade sorbet was so special and a great way to end the meal. Oh and the wine list, well priced and a great variety.

Great atmosphere, excellent menu, outstanding food preparation, great service.

Food was imaginative, of excellent quality and professionally served. Strangely, staff was inclined to remove plates before everyone had finished, and seems surprised when asked otherwise. Noise level was a bit high, hampering conversation. On balance, however, the experience was as good as it was in the past, and we will certainly return.

A classic, festive, special place to dine. Loved the weathered wood shingle and the colorful holiday lights adorning the building. Old school menu which I found refreshing. We enjoyed the calamari steak, the sand dabs, and shared a Grand Marnier souffle. There were several birthday celebrations at the restaurant the Sunday night we dined. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. I especially loved the buttery goodness of my sand dabs. Also my hearts of palm salad wit the ginger sesame dressing was very good. Grand Marnier souffle was lovely. There is nothing hipster about this restaurant, and that's why I enjoyed it.

Drove down from the Bay Area for a few days & stayed at a lovely VRBO. Our good friend had never eaten at Passionfish & had been wanting to dine there for quite some time. We finally made her wish come true!!! Terrific meal. Scallop appetizers were spot on. Butternut Bisque was exquisite. The entrees were just as mouth watering: Scallops, Shrimp & the special...Striped Bass was out of this world!!! Ended w/Roquefort Ice Cream (which was one person's choice & we shared). Overall, this place always requires being in attendance. Consistent in every way. PS: Candace knows how to take care of all who visit!!!
