- DDianaVIPGreater Boston •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoEven though this restaurant is in a touristy area, somehow they still manage to serve amazing food with a down to earth attitude. The ambiance and service are both great, we never feel rushed. We love the calamari steak sandwich and abalone so much that we keep coming back.More infoRockfish Harbor GrillPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.2
- OTOpenTable DinerSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoServer was friendly, Bridget, if I recall, and on top of it. Husband’s birthday. They brought not only the birthday desert, but a nice taste of the strawberry gelato and blood orange sorbet — because she heard how we wanted to taste it. Husband had the filet perfectly cooked. I had the short rib very tasty, but maybe a bit too much salt. The ambiance was warmly inviting. Just the right amount of light added to a feeling that we were welcomed.More infoMontrioPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.6

- NNeliVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 9, 2024This is fhe first time my family visited Abalonetti Bar and Grill, and we liked it. The food was delishious, and the service was spotless. I especially liked the oysters with pesto, and my husband liked the crusted rockfish. My mother enjoyed her angel hair pasta, too. On the flip side, they have only four deserts on the menu and tiramisu is not one of them. They do not have espresso, either. Very disappointing. I recommend this restaurant for its great location, delicious food and the friendly and professional service.More infoAbalonetti Bar and GrillPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.4
- AAllysonSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined on Nov 30, 2024Food was 5/5, highly recommend the corkscrew burger. Service was 5/5, the server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were 2/5. A margarita is not complicated to make, yet this one seemed to be missing both the flavor of the lime juice and the tequila. There was a sour taste to it. It was a birthday celebration not sure if anything special is done but it wasn’t acknowledged. Other than that, I do recommend coming to eat here but hold off at the cocktails.More infoTurn 12 Bar And GrillPrice: Moderate• American• Monterey•4.6
