    I have to say Steve, you (and Sue) are getting better as a tour guide of the local establishments and what to watch for!

    Love Cioppino, Steve and Sue! I also believe we had it right there at the Sandbar! I know Kathy and I have been back to Monterrey several times during our lives together. (I was stationed there before knowing her) I know we ate there, but don't remember for sure what we ate. Love other seafood too and the Fish House looked wonderful too! We also love generous portions. Enjoyed pizza night. Looking forward to part two! Thanks for bringing back the memories.

      Welcome!! Monterey and Pacific Grove are great places to live! But it is expensive and they do loose their power often during storms. Otherwise, its wonderful! Hope your plans work out and thanks for watching! (if you haven't already, please subscribe and get us to 1700! Thanks!)

    As a local, Sandbar is a tourist trap, most locals would not go there. California Seltzer, a newer tourist trap. Overpriced, not local food AT ALL, and only open for times tourists would be in town. If you want local food, try something open more than 3 times weekly. As another commenter mentioned, Gianni's is the best local pizza period. This was hard to watch, although I was rooting for y'all.

    Is the eggplant as good as Sue’s? Sign me off what could be better than eggplant and calamari😋

      Not as good as Sues but the combination flavor of the eggplant and calamari was amazing!

    LOL...locals would never go to the restaurant at Lover's Point. I've walked past the CA Seltzer Company hundreds of times...never looked like it was open! Locals go to Gianni's for pizza (I suspect a lot of tourists go there, too).

    • @TravelwithNJSteveandSue

    32$ for seafood stew means it's still a tourist destination. Also, you should have ordered the sand dabs.

    Sandbar & Grill is a movie scene shooting location for Clint Eastwood's 1971 "Play Misty for Me". Stumbled upon it the other day with my son on our day roadtrip to Monterey. It really is the locals' place to eat. But go early if you don't want a long wait for a table.
