   We went to Fishwife for dinner based on decent reviews. But the dining experience was very disappointing. The food: Nothing special and the price was above average for similar type of food. In fact, their famous fish and chips was not that good. Small pieces of fish wrapped in thick cornmeal batter. And the fish was dry and tasteless. The service: Not attentive. The restaurant: Looked run down and the restroom was filthy. Beware of no splitting the bill and extra charge for credit card payment.

   We always eat at The Fishwife when visiting Pacific Grove. It is a gem of a restaurant! The food is delicious, and the servers are very friendly and attentive. This visit was on my wife’s birthday, and they brought her a yummy piece of key lime pie with a candle!

   Everything was fantastic. The restaurant was busy but is managed by a wonderful person that didn't think twice about jumping in the help the staff. Great experience. Also- they have a dessert menu that can please everyone.

   The decor may be slightly dated but it makes me feel at home. The food is great and the service wonderful. Loved the crab Tostito’s on app menu. Served cold, great flavors and if you like spicy, try the habanero sauce! We will definitely be back

   We chose two entrees from the specials. Swordfish and Dabs over lobster ravioli. Both were excellent! Each entre came with a side vegetable. We had the Asian salad and drinks and then a wonderful finish of Key Lime Pie and coffee. We had an attentive and friendly waiter. It was off the beaten path and not touristy, definitely will return!

   This is a great place, for what it is. Very casual, great service, good food, fun drinks. Eat here often, and plan to bring the entire fam here for dinner next week.

   I come to Pacific Grove every year, and the Fishwife is a place we always MUST go to. The Calamari Steak entree is just so good.
