| - This place doesn't deserve five stars. Three is about right.
In short: the view is excellent but the food is merely good. If you want a view, come here, but if you want great fish, I'd recommend other places, such as Casbah, Park Bruges, or Umi.
At Monterey Bay, I had the trout almondine, which they promised to be lightly sauteed, but I found it to be overcooked and heavy with butter that left an oily aftertaste in my mouth. The caesar salad and dessert I shared were good but not great. When this place wins best seafood and similar awards, it's not for the food, but for the view.
Our meals were about $53 per person including tip, but without drinks.
