Restaurants near Monterey Fairgrounds

Hands down, there is no finer restaurant on Fishermans Wharf in Monterey, CA. From our appetizer to our dessert, our dinner was exquisite! Our server, Tara, was fantastic in every way. She was friendly and made menu recommendations for us to consider based on what guests at her other tables were raving about earlier in the evening. We were treated as if we were the only diners in the restaurant. The food she delivered to our table was artfully arranged and worthy of taking numerous photos to remember this most perfect dining experience.

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.

First time to Schooners and we all enjoyed it so much! Great view, good service and excellent food. We went in for a late lunch. Enjoyed the focaccia and seafood tostada for starters. Crab pasta, crab blt and cioppino were all delicious! Will definitely return.

Fabulous service Delicious wine Superb meal A wonderful evening
