To be fair, despite our fairly dismal experience, I suspect that this restaurant does have its better moments, but one of them was not an early evening Friday, a week ago. In a nutshell, we were seated just after 5 PM in a nearly empty restaurant, and were placed at a table next to the kitchen where we got to... more

In addition to everything everyone else has written about the great food, I would like to add my thnks to the great service we received, from staff who were knowledgeable and friendly. Yes, it is a little expensive, though I have had much worse dining experiences and paid nearly the same price. There are some real gems on their wine... more

While we were sipping our wine during Seven Gables' complimentary gathering, the young woman staffing the reception desk recommended Passionfish for dinner. It's owned and operated by two vocal advocates for sustainable seafood education and launching forces of the sustainable seafood movement in Monterey County; it was a perfect choice to follow our afternoon at the aquarium. We shared a... more

Besides the absolutely fresh and creatively prepared dishes, Passionfish excels because of its commitment to the environment. They offer only sustainable foods from the sea or land. To its credit, it is the first and only green restaurant in Monterey County. And the clincher is the incredible wine list - 500 selections - which are sold at only $5 above... more

Love this place, always a great experience. Great food, dessert, wine, and service. The best priced wines around, not alot of mark-up. They want to encourage you to try new wines. The co-owner wife is also in to tea's so theres a nice selection if youre into it. more

We ate at the Passionfish a couple of years ago and couldn't remember if it was good or bad. Since then, we've eaten at Fandango twice and were not impressed, even with it's great rating here. We had avoided Passionfish for that reason however I looked at the menu of Passionfish online, it looked good so we went. Passionfish was... more

This is my favorite restaurant on the peninsula. We are never disappointed when we go here for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. The fish is always the best I've ever had and I tend to get stuck ordering the same thing every time I go just because it is so good. I recommend people to go here all the... more
