sardine factory

excellent choice for a celebratory meal!. we have dined twice in the conservatory room and once in the captain's room, celebrating an anniversary and birthday. our most recent meal was may 8 for my birthday, we dined in the conservatory room, we had a group 5 for dinner. they now offer a fixe prixe meal until 6:30 which is 3 courses for $20/pp which is anexcellentvalue. the lobster risotto was really good, we brought in a bottle of king estate pinot gris to go with dinner. service was a bit lacking but there were large prom groups there. :)

i have been coming here for a long time and it still is one of the better places for seafood in a place where you would think every seafood restaurant would be a 4+.  sadly, that is not the case.

at any rate, the sardine factory is great place for a group or for a couple looking for a romantic spot to dine.  it is not a place for people coming in off the beach, wearing t-shirts and sandals smelling like sun tan lotion or worse - like you may find on the "wharf."  this is one of the few spots, in montery, that still maintains that classy feeling when you enter.

everything i have tried as beenexcellentand i have never left disappointed. and, like any other good seafood place, it is pricey.  (this is not red lobster or joe's crab shack - both of which i avoid.)   but, the sardine factory does have a fixed-price menu option for those on a budget; and, you still get some pretty good seafood.  there is also an "early" diner special and check out their website for some other discount offers, too.

a 4.0 means nice atmosphere, good service, very good food.  a "will come back" vote.

wonderful and delicious. ate here on a wednesday evening in october during our 25th anniversary trip. caught the early-bird special for $30 for a three course meal - great deal! between the two of us we had the following: abalone bisque - very good; ceasar salad - good; salmon and filet mignon -excellent(best ever); sand dabs - unexpectedly excellent; ice cream sundae - very good; creme brulee - excellent. we ate in the captain's room - very nice room for an intimate dinner. service was top notch. overall it was fantastic - one of our best dinner experiences ever (not that we eat out a lot though). and felt we got a very good deal with the special.

the sardine factory isexcellentall around! the food is beautifully presented and is of perfection. your server and wine stuard makes your party feel they are the most important and do this effortlessly. we would've gladly paid much more for the ambiance and dining experience
