- Recently Wifey & I were in Monterey, California and we decided to visit the Old Fisherman's Wharf for dinner. We made a reservation and ate at the Old Fisherman's Grotto Restaurant. I can highly recommend this restaurant. I gave it 5 stars on Google. The service was as good as we've ever had and the Halibut dinner we had was incredible.
While waiting for our reservation, I went on a walking tour of Fisherman's Wharf.
The Wharf is a very cool spot to hang out for sightseeing, people watching and there are some fantastic restaurants.
Here is a playlist of our adventure travels in Oregon & California on this trip.

I was born in Monterey and visited the many times after moving away. Just the sound of seagulls and I can smell the salty air and fresh clam chowder and hear the barking sea lions!
Many memories there in 1966-67 when I was "up the hill" learning Hungarian at the Defense Language Institute. The window from my window in those old WWII barracks looked down on the wharf and Monterey Bay!
This is too funny, I work at the Grotto and at Scales. A customer came in last night to the grotto and told me she had seen me on UA-cam. Of course, I had to see the video she was talking about. I'm the chowder girl at Scales handing you and your wife the samples of chowder!!
fiaalii17 that is awesome. So glad you saw this video.
I just djed a wedding there last night, at scales. Now this video just showed up randomly on my feed lol
haha, and im the one that saw you and said the same thing when I was there in 14th April 2018
fiaalii17 do you still work there? I was just there a couple days ago with my daughter and wife and there was a woman who was so sweet to everyone just like you in the video lol. Such a fantastic atmosphere
I come to Monterey every June and July to visit my uncle and cousins, I have since I've been little. Now I'm 23, and everytime I'm there I must make multiple stops here. The smell of seafood in the air, the aquarium, and seafood restaurants amazing me, even after seeing it for countless times. I was born and raised in a small Pennsylvania farming community so seeing sights like this always left a mark on me.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Steve, brought back a LOT of good memories from the time I was stationed there.
Grotto yeah! I love the clam chowder from there! Sry for my english!
Beautiful , That's my home town ! Thank you for sharing Uncle👌🏼
You are welcome. Uncle?
Formal language Lol
Been there many times since 1986. Try to get back every couple of years. For military and military retired there is a nice Family Campground at NPG. So strange driving through nearby abandoned Fort Ord. Of course the main attraction is the aquarium. In 1991 we were "members" and could freely wander in anytime. I miss living there, all except the morning fog. Used to jog from Fishermen Wharf to Lovers Point and back. Lovely place.
I go there once a year. My dad has golfing tournaments and we make a family trip out of it. I went on Randy's Fishing trip (5:22). But since last year they were bought out. And now it costs twice as much.
The Monterey wharf is amazing I just came back from there
Different and also similar to when I was a kid. So many memories here :) I always loved this place and they do have the best clam chowder there. Only one is THE BEST EVER.
Best clam chowder ever at the wharf. I always compare other chowder when I visit other places, but nothing compares to classic Monterey
SO TRUE
Very true. When I was an infantryman at Fort Ord(back when there still WAS a Fort Ord) we used to go to the wharf and eat. Their clam chowder is the very best. They would scrape out a _stump_ of sourdough and then fill it with the chowder. Absolutely scrumptious!
In the summer it was always cold and REALLY foggy... and the steam rising up from the sourdough and chowder was pure divine.
I really miss Planet Ord!!
My hometown. I grew up there. The best place on earth................I worked for Mrs. Elves at The Harbor House in the 90s along with many great restaurants I cooked at. Its a very cool place. I do miss it. I was good to live there before the area became tourist mecca. Cannery Row used to be so rustic and magical. Its now a shop after shop, after shop of novelty crap and taffy and fudge places. Oh well..............
My wife and I went on our honey moon in Monterey, CA back in 2005. I like to look up videos to remind us of our time together. You made that happen on this video. UA-cam Channel VIP seating was awesome! Thanks so much. Pura vida!
Awesome, glad I brought back some memories for you.
Found your video searching for Monterey. I enjoyed it so much I ended up making my way through almost all of your videos. Loved the redwood forest video, you captured some amazing footage. You are talented with the camera. Thanks for posting.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.
my grandparents own carousel candies
So I used to live on monterey bay but recently moved to Bakersfield and I honestly just miss this place. One time I was chilling in the beach on Monterey bay and I saw this tourist who probably thought I was a tourist and she said,"did you see the whales?"
❤️Monterey two hours away!! It’s my 2nd home!!!!!!!
Awesome spot on the Earth.
Thanks for your great video about your visit to Monterey's Old Fisherman's Wharf. We loved it!
Awesome, thank you.
I just came back from Monterey yesterday. I was at Fishermen's Wharf and I went to the Ghost Tour
Omg y'all are lucky to be at the wharf when it's not busy 😂
I've been living there since 2012 and geez it's always busy
It was awesome that day.
Monterey is beautiful ... I visited once during Christmas time in 2009 I think ... and the town was the prettiest Ive seen in and around bay area. More like east coast feeling during the holidays ... and yeah Steve .. The Clam Chowder is absolutely delicious indeed
Whats up rose? Let me hit it 😂😂😂
We were there yesterday for my birthday at Old fishermen's Grotto and they have the best clam chowder and fresh oysters. This is just one of the best places to eat. Oh I made this post not knowing which place you were eating at. We ate there to. They have three of those Restaurants there. There are two at fishermen's wharf. The other one has an oyster bar that we ate at yesterday. It is the best. And the one you guys ate at there has the best Chocolate cake I have ever ate in my life.
Love that area. Thanks for the 10 minute vacation.😎👍
Cool, thanks. I like the 10 minute vacation.
This looks fun. I’m going this weekend and i cant wait ^_^
How was your time there? Visiting for my bday this weekend 😁
If you were born and raised there You would say that that Wharf Is an old eyesore That should have been mowed down And a new one built on top of it long ago ......I can still remember Riding our bicycles down to the Wharf On Saturday for FREE smoked salmon and chowder....and that was back in the 80's when you would see old man Shake out there in that white suit and cowboy hat Smoking a cigar ....he always say get the kids whatever they want
No, it should be kept I think it is one of the big things on the wharf other than the aquarium.
I use to feel like that growing up but I learned to be more appreciative of it and all the beauty Monterey has to offer. It’s been a blessing to live my life here.
Hey! I'm watching because the hubs and I are moving to the Area... Funnily enough I think we will be moving to North Carolina after!
Im Moving There From Nc...Did You Ever Make The Move?
And yes, to anyone wondering why "sunny California" is so overcast in June is because pretty much the West Coast north of Santa Barbara tends to be foggy and overcast in the summer because the heat of the inland valleys of California pull in the clouds. So if you want clear skies on the West Coast, actually your best bet is to visit in the much less crowded *and* less expensive winter "off season."
I did Notice that it was kind of chilly and Not a Lot of People there that day, but is probably a different story on the Weekends.
cool stuff.
Im From Fayetteville, Nc But Currently Stay In Mooresville, Nc Moving There This Year.
You will love the area.
Cool video, good job !
What is the high season for this place and is it still busy now that we are past covid? is it really busy in bustling or just kind of? Is it dead at night there or? What time does it slow down? Thanks for this awesome video!
Can't answer those questions, I was just a tourist.
Fishermans wharf has some world class Clam Chowder.
You got that right!
China Dude eyeballing Wifey!
LOL yes
I’m going here with my high school Spanish class next Saturday. Why Spanish class? Because there’s a Salvador Dalí museum there.
Hi Arlene at the grotto!!
Best part . No kids allowed
Does anybody remember the little monkey at the beginning a fisherman's wharf that would take your money You know if you put it in her hand
@Hunter Small yes I remember the monkey. He would make rude gestures if you only gave him a penny or a nickel... but would do tricks if you gave him a bill. Dang that was a long time ago. Remember the diving bell?
@@n.s.3410 I dont remember a bell. I remember feeding the sea lions. And I'll never forget the smell loved it.
That tiny little monkey died. It was said that the beast was never ever properly rested. The tourists would laugh and stomp their feet at him trying to scare him, and make him run back and forth trying to avoid their harassment.
He collapsed one day and his handler refused to seek medical attention for him... too expensive he said.
Sad
@@donarthiazi2443 wow
I Hope They Remember You - Thanos (i film my vids all over monterey)
Who else is watching this because they’re moving to Monterey , California?!
You better have a BIG bank account
@@donarthiazi2443For real lol
At 6:41 are those really seals? They look more like sea otters??
If you want good food on the Monterey Peninsula, stay away from the wharf. No local would eat there.
Try Fandangos in Pacific Grove, 10 minutes away. Make reservations.Peppers for Mexican food also in PG.
Make sure you reserve a spot in the cellar at Fandangos... Basque food is awesome!
@@donarthiazi2443 I met the owner 50 plus years ago and worked on his Jaguar.
We have been going to FANDANGOS since they opened.
I spent a few years in Winnemucca Nevada in the 50s and fell in love with Basque food there.
best restaurant in California u made the right choice
Thanks, it was awesome.
The Fishwife in PG was very good. I hope it's still there
I'm starving
Nostradamus predicted Monterey, California. Century IX, Quatrain 48:, " The great city of the maritime Ocean. Surrounded by a chrystalline swamp. In the winter solstice and the spring. It will be tried by frightful wind."
i love crispy fish
That's an affirmative.
Why they have Red Faces???
Frozen seafood from Mexico and can food. Bread bowl. Fat and colesterol
They need gloves on damn
Best clam chowder is in new york
Used to be so good till Newsom destroyed free samples and put restaurants out of business. Meanwhile he eats at the French Laundry in Napa. Disgusting.m
Agree
