    Basically the dinning area is enclosed by large windows. The setting is very nice and airy(roomy). I ordered the Liberty Duck Breast, medium rare, for myself and daughter. It, as usual, was outstanding. I’m not sure why it isn’t busier than it is. It is one of finest restaurants on Cannery Row. The is on par with the food, outstanding. When I am in Monterey it is always one of my stops.

    Great food, cute location, friendly server! Also had live music- a bonus since it was unplanned-for. Since we had a group of 4, we went for the "small" island basket, which was 3 entrees and 2 appetizers on a giant woven basket / platter. Very special experience (and SO much food :-) Only downside was that we'd originally made lunch reservations but the restaurant was clearly not open when we showed up (on time for the reservation itself; half an hour after the restaurant's opening time for the day). Ended up going in for dinner instead (hence the "unplanned" part of the live music). Would highly recommend, aside from the owner's opening-up glitch.
