Hubby had the Alaskan Halibut and I had the trout. Both delicious and light. I don’t remember the dessert name-it was an Italian jello and cream-yummy!

Passionfish has been my favorite restaurant on the Monterey Peninsula for 20+ years. Food is creative, fresh and phenomenal. Staff is stellar!

We came here for my wife's birthday. The service was good. The food was ok. Not bad, not great. We had 3 appetizers, scallop, fried squid, and buttermilk biscuit. The scallop is cooked perfectly. The sauce on the fried squid is interesting. It is a lemon sauce but the salad in the middle has ginger or something spicy in it. The main course we have two kids meal which is a rock fish and half of the duck confetti. Both taste ok. The duck sauce is a bit strong on the mable syrup so it is very sweet. The adults has the rainbow trout and the full duck confetti. Duck is crispy and tasty. Can do without the sauce. The rainbow trout is ok. The sauce is some kind of yogurt in it so it tastes odd for me. Overall it is an ok place to dine in.

Really cute seafood restaurant in Monterey! 🐠
The indoor felt very cozy, which would be ideal after a cold day out, or a walk on the windy coast.
The staff is very friendly and one of the focus of this restaurant is to not overcharge for wine pairings, so there's plenty of great options at retail price! 🍷
In terms of food, I really enjoyed the scallop on top of rice cake as starter, the seared tuna with artichoke and basil caponata as main course, and the warm maple banana bread pudding 🤤
Pro tip: pair with the recommended tea for max level comfort! 🥰
Highly recommend if you're out in Monterey! 😋🙌🏻
Perfect for a date! 🌹

We were on our way to Big Sur and decided to spend the night in Monterey. We came across this restaurant and wanted to give it a try. The hostesses were so kind and friendly. Shanae and the other host went out of their way to suggest some hotel accommodations in the area to us. We ordered the duck confit, the halibut, and the crab salad. We loved the duck confit and the crab salad. They both had very interesting flavors. The halibut was also delicious, but was on the spicy side. We ordered the Yuzu Panna Cotta and the chocolate torta. We did not care for the desserts. The Panna Cotta was too firm and the chocolate torta came with a passionfruit sauce that was too salty. Our waitress Ojenia provided us with the worst service. She was just not nice or friendly. We would have ordered more food had she been nicer and had let us know about Last call to place an order. I do recommend this restaurant but hopefully you will not end up in her section.

Had a wonderful scallop dish and bread pudding for dessert. There was plenty of wine to choose 5 we decided on a half bottle of a local pinot noir.

There's too many words to say how much I loved this place! I want to write in all caps, but I don't want to come off like I'm screaming. Ingredients were sourced well and the dishes were cooked with intention and thoughtfulness. Wine pairings were great. The service was top notch.
I also liked that despite the location (Monterey's reputation is it can be pretentious), the pricing was very reasonable.
This place is accessible luxury, what a treat.

Great Valentine's Dinner experience! Good selection of Seafood and delicious dishes. Love that it doesn't get too crowded, so it feels still intimate. Got the Duck and Sea Scallops and it did not disappoint. For dessert, Maple Banana Bread pudding with bourbon caramel and banana ice cream. Perfect Valentine's dessert! Staff are wonderful and parking is in front with plenty of free spaces.

Wow - the wine list was impressive and offered spectacular prices. I had carried a bottle in but couldn't beat what they were offering. Blake gave impeccable service and the food (especially the crab salad and duck comfit) was exceptional.
