Passionfish in Monterey is highly praised for its simple yet refined menu featuring complex and flavorful dishes. Reviewers raved about the rich and crispy duck, amazing biscuits, scallops cooked to perfection, sustainable seafood choices, and delectable desserts like lemon panna cotta and maple banana bread pudding. The wine list was highlighted for its impressive selection at reasonable prices. Service was consistently commended as attentive and friendly, making it a must-visit restaurant in the Pacific Grove/Monterey area.
One of the best restaurants in Monterey. Simple and refined menu with complex and flavorful dishes. The duck was rich and had a great crispy skin and the biscuits were amazing. Overall an amazing experience and they have a large wine menu if you enjoy wine. The host also had some great recommendations that the party enjoyed.
Scallops (both as an appetizer and main dish) were fantastic! Cooked to perfection and beautifully sauced and seasoned, all the sides were delicious as well. The Duck was on the dry side, but still a great dish.
It was our 5th time dining in here. Every time we had a great time here for dinner. The scallop appetizer is simply awesome. We’d order two next time! Mahi entry was a good portion with yummy spicy sauce, pickled onions and side. We always end our meal with the classic lemon panna cotta.

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.

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! 🌹
