Their crust is perfect. Light, thin but not flimsy, crispy and doughy edges, and topped with fresh, organic ingredients.

And who knew you could wheel around a wood-fired oven like that?

Delicious. I recommend the Dungeness crab mac and cheese and the flatiron steak sandwich, medium rare.

The downside? Slow.

It's been six months since I was last here and it's still the best place for clam chowder in the wharf.

    I sampled all of the clam chowders in the wharf and I'd say theirs was among the best ... and so I had a bowl.

It's tiny, and there isn' t much, but this the only place where every single restaurant has folks standing outside giving out samples of clam chowder. Broke and hungry? Come here!

Beautiful place, and climbing the rocks is fun. You can also spot sea otters out in the ocean.

The best meal I've had in the Monterey area. This is the restaurant I'd recommend to anyone looking for a nice meal.

I highly recommend their:
Dungeness crab salad
Monterey squid salad
Gulf of Maine scallops
(These were actually what our waiter recommended to us.)

I don't think I'd go out of my way to go back here, but if I lived in the area, I'd probably be a regular.

I love the beach's soft, white sand. Once I stepped foot onto it I already sank. This beach is beautiful.

It has a franchise feel, or maybe it's because of the crowd it attracts. Not bad, but nothing special.
