- JJenelCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe service and food was top notch! I never had such a flavorful meal that was cooked and prepared to perfection! It was a beautiful experience with the waves crashing below and the warmth from the heating lamps. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. It was a great dining experience and we will be returning many more times.More infoSchooners MontereyPrice: Expensive• Californian• Monterey•4.6
