Rappa's has never failed to please us after 15+ years of dining there. Sept 2008 dinners started with their excellent clam chowder, a very fresh tasting green salad and warm french bread. We enjoyed their perfectly cooked halibut and sand dabs, served with delicious pasta and fresh vegetables. The waitress' recommendation to have the halibut served "blackened" put the meal... more

we had lunch and drinks at Rappas. It was the worst hot buttered rum I have ever encountered. The food was not much better. The clams were old. more

Worst food I've had in Monterey. Service bad. You can hear people beating around on the observation deck the whole time...very irritating. Don't do it...just don't eat on the wharf, period. more
