First time eating here and all 4 were f us really enjoyed our meals. I ordered the ranch steak substituted fries with mashed potatoes. All 4 of us voted my plate was the best. We would definitely come back. Also, I highly recommend trying the fire cracker shrimp appetizer. Nice view! My only suggestion is the waitress could have been more attentive but it was pretty busy so I wouldn't mark the rating down for that. She was nice and smiled just could be a little more attentive is all. read more

We went here because it was convenient, right next to the beach and Stillwell Pool. They have a kids menu with a bunch of options. My daughter had the marinara pasta with Parmesan and she loved it, finished every bite. It's a good portion too, and it was only $9! In fact, she liked it so much we had to come back our second night so she could have it again. To me, the highlight was the warm bread. It's served with softened butter, and coming in from the chilly outdoors to it was heavenly. I also had their Beach House salad--the candied pecans and the tangy sweet vinaigrette were very good. The second night I tried their Filet Mignon Beef Stroganoff, and it was way too rich for me. I barely ate many and it unsettled my stomach. Should have just stuck with the salad again! Service inconsistent. First night our server was an older woman with a ponytail, didn't see her name. She was super unfriendly. Felt like we were inconveniencing her every time I asked her something. Second night our server was a Latino man, and he was fantastic. So friendly and helpful. read more

My husband and I celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary with a weekend getaway in Carmel and Monterey. Wanting our special evening to be truly memorable, I spent over an hour researching romantic restaurants with beautiful scenery in the area. While many options stood out, the Beach House Restaurant at Lover's Point immediately felt like the perfect choice. We were absolutely delighted that we chose to spend our anniversary here. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Camille, who mentioned they were expecting us for our 7pm reservation and were already preparing the ideal table after I noted our 30th Anniversary on OpenTable. Camille escorted us right away to a stunning spot overlooking the ocean. The view was breathtaking -- calm, peaceful, and utterly romantic. Camille let us know that Emily would be our server and would be with us shortly. Even while busy helping other guests, Emily greeted us with a warm smile and assured us she'd be right over. As soon as she had an opportunity, she took our drink and appetizer order. She quickly took care of us, by bringing our drinks, fresh bread, and West Coast Poke to start. The bread was perfectly crisp and flaky on the outside with a soft, warm, and moist interior. The Poke was exceptionally fresh, beautifully seasoned, and vibrant. As a native of Oahu, I'm quite particular about fish, and while nothing quite compares to Hawaiian Island fresh fish catches, this came impressively close. Jose, the kitchen runner, delivered our entrées, and Emily promptly checked on us, to ensure we received all our dishes and offered fresh ground pepper. My husband and I shared the Grilled Salmon Filet, Tomahawk Pork Chop, and Wild Mushroom Curry. Every dish was executed to perfection. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors were outstanding: the salmon was perfectly seasoned, the pork chop was juicy and tender, and the curry offered a wonderful balance of spices -- flavorful without being overpowering. The accompanying mashed potatoes, wild rice blend, jasmine rice, and vegetables all complemented the entrées beautifully. A huge thank you to chefs Pete and Aleia for creating such an incredibly delicious and thoughtfully prepared meal using the freshest ingredients. Emily provided exceptional service throughout the evening. She was attentive, hospitable, and genuinely kind, continually checking on us and ensuring we had everything we needed. Her care made our experience even more special. As night fell, the ambiance became even more romantic. The ocean view, the warmth from the fire heaters, and the soft lighting created the perfect setting for our celebration. We also greatly appreciated the complimentary Happy Anniversary Tuxedo Chocolate Fudge Mousse dessert -- it was wonderfully decadent and absolutely divine. Before leaving, we had the pleasure of meeting manager Jensine, who was equally warm and welcoming. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team and talented chefs at the Beach House Restaurant at Lover's Point for making our 30th Wedding Anniversary so unforgettable. The combination of the stunning oceanfront location, romantic atmosphere, outstanding service, and exceptional cuisine made this one of our all-time favorite dining experiences. You have more than earned this 5-star rating -- we will definitely be back on our next visit to Pacific Grove! read more

Server Kristina was great! And she was helpful with food choices and info about the area. Beautiful restaurant with awesome view of the ocean. The halibut special was amazing. The twice baked potato was excellent and the fish and chips were very good but not as amazing as the halibut. We will go back again next time we come to the Monterey/Pacific Grove area! read more

The dinner began on a high note with exceptionally warm bread and the crisp Flash-Fried Calamari, followed by a thoroughly enjoyable Beach House Bacon Cheeseburger. The true highlight, however, was the fresh Alaskan halibut nightly special, which was flawlessly prepared and paired with an absolutely outstanding risotto. The stunning waterfront view of Lover's Point Park paired with the beautiful weather provided an unforgettable backdrop and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. While the hospitality was welcoming, the service felt slightly overextended at times, leading to a few minor lulls in an otherwise pleasant evening. It is an ideal venue for an elevated vacation meal, and we would absolutely return when visiting the area again. read more

We visited twice this week. Each time we had reservations. Good thing as the place was packed. Street parking is at a premium so arrive early. Beautiful views of the ocean and bay, great service and excellent food. The Scallops Pot Pie, Pacific Mahi Mahi, Burrata salad and Fire Cracker Shrimp were all outstanding. Mud pie was meh. We will be back when in the area. read more

Great views, but the food and service fell short.The service here was incredibly slow. It took a long time for anyone to greet our table and take our orders, and our entrees arrived very late. For our meals, we ordered the clam chowder, salmon fillet with rice and veggies, a filet mignon with a twice-baked potato, plus the creamy Alfredo rigatoni and the pappardelle.The food was hit-or-miss. On the positive side, the pasta was clearly fresh and perfectly al dente. We also really enjoyed the twice-baked potato and the spinach, and the ahi tuna was good. However, both the clam chowder and the Alfredo sauce were far too thick; the Alfredo even tasted like the flour in the roux wasn't fully cooked. The complimentary bread was also overly floury.The biggest disappointment was the filet mignon. We ordered it medium-rare, but it was served rare probably because it was a very thick cut! ‍ We sent it back to be cooked more, but it took at least 30 minutes to return. By the time it came out, the rest of the table had already finished eating. The salmon was just okay. While the restaurant offers a great view, the indoor ambiance is quite loud. Come for the views, but don't expect too much from the food or service! read more

Beautiful location and view but the food is a let down. My husband ordered the Waygu burger and was so disappointed. It was completely under seasoned. I ordered the salmon which came with spinach and wild rice, the salmon itself was overcooked but good and the sauce was its redeeming quality, but the rice it came with was actually quite disgusting. It was so dry and tasted old like it had been sitting out under a heat lamp for hours. read more

My Wife and I had a wonderful Anniversary dinner there today..Our reservation was for 4:30pm. We were seated in a cute Conner small table that we made work, but had the most Amazing view of the Coast Line..My Wife had the tomahawk pork chops, I had the lamb shanks, both were delicious. We shared a fire & Ice Wedge which was great. I had a IPA beer, and my girl had a Margarita. Service was very good, they even brought us an anniversary dessert, that was nice...The bill was reasonable... Thank you for making our Anniversary memorable... read more

The beach house at lovers point has a phenomenal view! Upon arrival the GM Axel promptly sat us early for our reservation! The server, Emily, was prompt with water and our bottle of wine. Belle Glos Pinot noir was delicious and paired well with our entrees, the filet mignon stroganoff and the lamb shank. We started with the west coast poke appetizer, which was a very good sized portion! We were impressed. I remember we even said "this is a very good sized portion!" Finished off with the banana cheesecake and the brownie fudge which was huge, we took some home. Axel is awesome, Emily was great, and Carmelita was warm and inviting! Beach house is top tier! read more

We came here for a birthday. I had booked this place a week in advance and the ocean view was the main thing that drew me to choose this restaurant. Although I requested a table with a view in my reservation note, the hostess didnt accommodate our request. When asked how long we would have to wait, we were told maybe 40 mins, so we took something else. I was initially fine with this, as requests are not always guaranteed, but 5-10 minutes later, a view table was given to another group of the same size. Aside from that, we were pleased by the food and service. Our waitress was attentive and the hot iron chicken was very juicy. She gave my friend a nice little sweet treat for her bday which I appreciate. Hence why I gave four stars. Overall, it's a good casual place to come with family or friends. read more

Cioppino & Pacific Mahi Mahi were both incredibly delicious! I'm still thinking about how good that crab risotto was. We also got the Crispy Oyster Mushrooms for an appetizer but I think we'd skip that next time on account of their "sand-like" texture. But the Pacific Coast Clam Chowder was scrumptious. They brought out a complimentary birthday dessert which was also incredibly tasty & thoughtful. We'll definitely be back read more

This is our favorite family restaurant when we visit Monterey. Always a treat to come here and enjoy the ambiance and scenery. The food is always good. We love the firecracker shrimp for appetizers and the sunset early bird menu has lots of great options. We usually get the salmon entree, ahi tuna, or steak. Free complimentary bread is always hot and fresh. Our kids love their giant cheeseburger from the kids' menu and shrimp risotto. Great service, would recommend dining here! read more

This was my very first time eating here and it was a great experience! Our server was wonderful and we were able to get a window seat because we had early reservations at 4.30pm. O had the Mahi Mahi with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was fabulous! My bride Valarie had the salmon and it was excellent and our friend ordered Sand Dabs and her words: "out of this world!" The staff were awesome and the service and hospitality were fantastic! By the way, this was all in the context of constantly getting Tsunami alerts on my phone due to the earthquake off Russia. Well if you are going to have a meal with a view before being hit by a Tidal Wave .... THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE! I highly recommend you eat here and get a window seat! read more

Very fun spot right on the water. Definitely reserve ahead and ask for a table by a window. We did and we got a lovely little table tucked into a corner with beautiful views of the Pacific. We went at 7pm on a Friday night and the place was pleasantly busy. We ordered a martini and looked at the menu and out the window. They serve delicious complementary warm bread and butter (a rare thing these days). I ordered the Airline Chicken. Strange name but absolutely delicious chicken cooked in a cast iron pan with au jus and potatoes, onions, carrots, green beans. Our waiter (Emily) said it was very moist snd tender and deli and she was right. I recommend it. My husband got the mahi mahi and he was very happy with it. It was served on a delicious bed of.... Risotto? We weren't sure but it tasted great. The only unfortunate thing was we ordered a crème brûlée for dessert and waiting quite a long time to get it and it was completely unacceptable. The crème was not cooked / a liquidy mess and no crunch at all to the brûlée. The waiter was lovely and noticed we didn't eat it and took it off the bill. That was nice but after waiting so long to get it I think a small complimentary dessert would have been nice. Oh well.... Saved the calories I guess. Service was very pleasant and we parked right in front. A very nice place with great views and good food. read more

LONG time "happy" customer. Until this time. My daughter and I, locals but renting a beach cottage to overcome a loss of a loved dog this week. We arrived a little after 6:30 and asked to sit at the bar, hoping for, at the least, good views and maybe friendly banter with the bartender. Nope. None of that. It was 20 minutes before we were even asked for a drink order. Two lemon drops. Not a difficult cocktail. 15 minutes later, we got it. Still no food order taken. Finally was asked what we wanted and got it, eventually....but had to ask the waiter to ask the bartender for silverware. Food was fine. Not great, but fine. We ordered another round of cocktails....I noticed immediately they were not as full as the first, but again, it's not worth complaining about. Until...... I asked for water. Never got it. We were never asked if food was ok, never asked about anything. Waited and waited to order dessert until we just gave up. My daughter asked to try to make eye contact...never did. at 8:30 ish, with literally NO ONE asking us anything and not getting a bill even, I went to the host station to pay...no one there either. So, for the first time IN MY ENTIRE life, I had to ask for a bill, after I stacked my own dishes.... got the bill and left zero tip. NEVER felt the need to do that before. Then....the bartender says..."have a good night". I told him, directly to his face... "we've been forgotten customers all night." He said..."we're busy". Sir, it's a Wednesday night. You're not busy. You've been chatting with the people at the other end of the bar all night, give me a break." And we left. My daughter is going thru the worst week of her life, hoping to have some joy tonight. You made it worse. We were actually offended. I will never come back. read more

We had a great dinner at Beach House in Lovers Point! Everything we ordered was delicious. The clam chowder, grilled beef skewers, firecracker shrimp, calamari, filet mignon beef stroganoff, spicy crab ravioli, and rigatoni with pesto cream. My favorites were definitely the beef skewers, firecracker shrimp, and spicy crab ravioli. The only downside was the "perfect margarita," which was very sour and didn't taste good. Other than that, the food, atmosphere, and ocean view made it a great experience overall. read more

The best hidden gym in Pacific Grove!!! The Beach House at Lover's Point is located at Lovers Point on the ocean ambiance has sweeping views and well priced seafood and American cuisine. Only open for dinner starting at 4:30 PM There's ample seating in the dining room, bar or the outside patio with heaters. On the weekend, I 100% recommend calling and getting a reservation. The Bar does have a small TV. Should you want to watch sports!! Ryan, the bartender makes excellent craft cocktails or if you're in the mood for beer or wine of course they have that too. My kids love coming here! This restaurant is kid friendly, but I do recommend bringing some crayons or activities for the children. read more

Unfortunately, we were pretty underwhelmed by this restaurant. It was our 25th anniversary and it was recommended by the Inn we were staying at. I ordered the broiled oysters with garlic chili oil to start. We also got the Caesar to split. My husband ordered the chicken dish, while I had the crab arancini as my entree. They were busy when we got there, but slowly people started to leave. Our server took awhile to greet us, but we understood. The oysters were so disappointing. The garlic chili oil was drowned out by toasted sesame oil (which I hate) and they were almost inedible. The sesame oil was not listed in the description on the menu, or I would have passed. Hard. Also, whoever shucked the oysters, didn't remove the whole body from the shell ( big no no) so I was fighting with my fork to release them. I worked at an oyster bar for years and shucked my fair share of them. It was hard to cleanse my palate of the sesame oil, because it was so overpowering. The Caesar was fine, nothing to write home about. The crab arancini was the best thing that I had. Really crispy and delicious. My husband was very disappointed with his dish. He is a chef of 30+ years and was excited to try the Demi glacé that was listed on the menu. What came out was chicken broth with so much garlic that it was also overpowering. The menu also said that the carrots and potatoes were roasted, but all of the veg had been boiled. So, everything was the same boiled texture and it was very unpleasant for him. He did let our server know. Our server ( a younger woman - didn't get her name) never asked how the food was. I don't know if she just didn't want to know, or what. She also never refilled my husband's empty water glass and didn't ask if I would like another glass of sparkling wine when she dropped off our entrees, even though my glass was empty, The one nice thing is that they gave us a complimentary coffee/chocolate dessert to celebrate our anniversary. Unfortunately, by this time, we were ready to go. We will not be returning. Fix your menu and make sure the kitchen is preparing food the way it's described. read more

The location is great. Our server, Andrew, was very pleasant and attentive. We both ordered clam chowder to start. It had lots of clams, but it was very thick and quite salty. My husband had the burger, which was enormous, and he enjoyed it. I ordered the Arugula and Beet Salad, which was very mediocre. The dressing had a sour taste which did not go well with the bitterness of the arugula. So I would skip that next time. They did honor our request for a window table so we had nice views. read more

Wow, what a spectacular small, clean restaurant with an amazing view of Monterey Bay. Customer service by the hostess and Lilly, our server, was incredibly helpful with the menu. Quite the variety on their menu from Korean bbq to lobster ravioli, which I highly recommend. The clam chowder is thick with clams, celery and an almost potato puree, so, so good; served with sliced hot bread and butter. The lobster ravioli was to die for. Thick, creamy sauce, large parmesan flakes over 8 large lobster stuffed ravioli with asparagus and mushrooms. Not sure what hubby ordered but the risotto was divine with crab with a slight sweetness. We will be back! read more
