However, both are owned by the same owners but slightly different menu from each other. The waitress told me at this location nothing is prepared fried. Food is either prepared sautéed or grilled. We started off with raw oysters, halibut for the kids, and a seafood tower. I'm used to eating chilled oyster towers, but the here it was warm and freshly cooked! It was a total game changer! Delicious and huge portion. Worth every $$$$ and I must say the clam chowder is amazing! Sooooo good that I'm coming back for it next time I'm in Monterrey.

Hard pass. I was…read morelittle disappointed with the outcome of the food, compared to the yelp reviews here. This is supposed to be the best place for lobster roll, which I didn't agree. We did a couple orders of the lobster roll the hot and the cold crab sandwiches and it was over $100. The hot crab sandwich was just crab and cheese on a thick ciabatta bread, which was very flavorless. The lobster roll had a little filling a lot of fillers with chopped veggies mixed into it the sandwich was on the smaller end. The crab cold sandwich was OK. I will definitely not come back and re-order these items.

Best in the Business - Consistently Excellent!…read more I honestly don't know what that other review is talking about -- it must be completely mistaken, or maybe someone just had a bad day and decided to take it out on the wrong people. I've been buying from Monterey Abalone Company for years, both in person and online, and I have never once had a single issue with their product or their customer service. These people are some of the most passionate, honest, and hard-working people I've ever met in this industry. Every abalone I've received has been incredibly fresh, healthy, and full of the signature rich flavor that only comes from expertly cared-for animals. Shipping has always been reliable, the packaging is top-notch, and I've never received anything that looked dead, deflated, or flavorless -- quite the opposite, actually. To accuse this company of "scamming" is absurd. These abalone are raised with care over years -- not some rushed, mass-produced product. If you know your abalone (as I do), you can tell the difference instantly. Sounds like the reviewer just wanted to be miserable. If you're reading this and on the fence, trust the people who have supported this company for years: Monterey Abalone Company is the real deal. Five stars every single time.

From the moment we walked in, everything was spotless tables, floors, and even the smallest details were perfectly maintained, which made us feel confident about the quality of the food right away.

You can tell they truly care about their guests.they even got my 2 boys coloring books the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted like it came straight from the ocean to the table. It's rare to find a place that delivers this level of consistency in both quality and service. Hands down one of the best seafood dining experiences I've ever had. Highly recommended!

He wore a baby blueHe is super nice too. Today he served us up some medium-sized juicy oysters today... I usually prefer the small ones but he was sold out by the time I got there... (get here early) and he was out of the seafood tostadas (no surprise there, they go super quick) but the 3 that I had were so fresh and delicious. They were actually sweet (in a good way) and well balanced with a little taste of the ocean... Topped mine with Horseradish, Cocktail sauce and a hit or 3 of Tabasco (red) and they had my juices flowing that is for sure. My mother managed to finish 6 (2 plates) before I had my first one. I savored each one and wanted more! My Mom wanted to pick some up for my sister and after chatting with Rudy he realized that she had stopped by and devoured nearly 20 and some ceviche. What a small world... no Monterey... is a very small town. Thanks Rudy! I get excited just thinking about you and your oysters.
