Chef came to our table to greet us and tell us about the specials. Everyone was super friendly. The fried artichokes are a must for an appetizer! My dad LOVED the ribs and fries.

My wife and I had a 6:30 reservation and arrived 15 minutes early and were immediately seated with no wait. Loved the ambiance of this restaurant. Service was excellent. We had the roasted vegetables for starters and clams and mussels main course. Both were delicious. Complimented the meal trying both the Spain varietals of wine they offered. Would highly recommend this establishment for a beautiful evening. Thank you!

Basically the dinning area is enclosed by large windows. The setting is very nice and airy(roomy). I ordered the Liberty Duck Breast, medium rare, for myself and daughter. It, as usual, was outstanding. I’m not sure why it isn’t busier than it is. It is one of finest restaurants on Cannery Row. The is on par with the food, outstanding. When I am in Monterey it is always one of my stops.
