    Terrific food from start to finish. We’re a little hesitant about this being a tourist trap, but inside, a very stylish and quiet restaurant with a phenomenal view. Impeccable, friendly service from our waiter, Zane. A home run!

    Wonderful place with wonderful staff. Our waiter was the absolute best and so kind. I brought my mom here for Mother’s Day and we had a wonderful experience.

    This is the second time we have been to Domenico’s while visiting Monterey. My husband and I went on a Friday evening. I had the Cioppino and he had the planked salmon. Both of our meals were delicious and were served piping hot, and well presented. The view from our window seat was gorgeous. Service was excellent, we were well attended , but never felt rushed.. We ended up staying for over two hours because we were enjoying ourselves so much. We highly recommend Domenico’s and will go there again next time we are in Monterey.

    We made reservations for a birthday dinner and we were very well taken care of from the moment we arrived. The waiter made very thoughtful recommendations and our water classes were never empty. The squid starter was amazing and bacon wrapped scallops were cooked perfectly. To top everything off they surprised the birthday girl with a free desert and song.

    This is one of our very favorite Monterey eateries. Lunch is special because of the great location and views of the water and seals and otters. We order a good bottle of chardonnay and their delicious clam chowder and we're in heaven. Juan and the entire wait staff are terrific. Friendly, thoughtful and attentive to your needs. Dominico's is a step up from most of the wharf eateries with their white tablecloths and napkins and wonderful window seating. Don't miss this one when you're in Monterey.
