Conner took good care of us upstairs. I enjoyed the Shaved Broccoli Salad and my husband ate every last bite of his pork chop. Our granddaughter ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese and said it was as good as it was filling! I highly recommend this spot. And don’t go without ordering the bread service!!!!

- KKristineVIPAlabama •54 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAbsolutely FABULOUS!!! Bridgette (our server) was awesome. Checked on us at all the right times. Food was over the top delicious. We each had the Montrio Mixed Green and it was beautiful. We shared the Surf & Turf and the plating was superb as was the meal. The desserts were decadent; the flourless chocolate cake was smooth as velvet and the crème brûlée….well let me just say there was none left. I highly recommend going. Kudos to the GM and his outstanding wine recommendation along with the back of the house!!! Love this special spot!!!More infoMontrioPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.6

- SSteveSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoVisiting a restaurant on a pier at a world famous destination as Monterey, one could think it would be too touristy for delicious cuisine. We were pleasantly surprised to receive attentive, friendly and comfortable service. Appetizers from octopus to roasted garlic was prepared to delight our taste buds The wedge salad topped off by in house dressing, crispy bacon, crisp and fresh, and large to share for two. Both entrees, stuffed salmon and pan prepped snapper, surrounded by fresh sauces and veggies were enjoyed that night and the next day, generous portions. Menu pricing, in today’s world was also unexpectedly competitive. We look forward to our next visit.More infoDomenico's on the WharfPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Monterey•4.5
