The restaurant is a tradition for us to come to when in Monterey Bay. Nearly anywhere you sit in the restaurant gives you a nice scenic view of the Bay. You can see people kayaking or boats floating out to see. The wait to be seated can be from 30 mins and up, but they have a good system to keep you informed when you are ready to be seated. And they do this by text system, first an initial text to confirm your provided number, and then up to two texts when they reach out to you for seating. Children are given a coloring sheet with sea creatures, and 4 Crayola crayons packed in plastic sleeves. Food choices hardly change out, so you can develop a favorite list as you come back. Service is friendly and fun, as they use the Forest Gump theme through the restaurant. Parking for any store or restaurant down Cannery Row is all in nearby parking garages. One we parked at was $18 for the whole day, no hourly option. No valet service that I can recall. As you wait, you can stay busy by wondering the shops nearby and really let time fly as you wait for the text. A good place to bring kids.
