We went here tonight for my birthday. Fantastic. The soup special was clam chowder and it was by far the best soup I have ever had. Not just the best clam chowder but the best soup ever!!! Loved our waitress, the appetizer for 2 is a must. I would literally eat this every day if I could! Monterey Bay is one of my favorite places in the whole world. You should eat here. As often as you can!
