We are excited to transform Monterey Bay's best location into the newest, freshest, seafood restaurant. Enjoy an all-new ambiance, waterfront tables, and exciting menu items!

For more than one hundred years, fishing has been a vital part of Monterey’s economy. Monterey’s historic Fisherman’s Wharf with its colorful shops, seafood markets, and flavorful restaurants, is a reflection of that history. Rockfish celebrates Monterey’s fishing tradition and enjoys the Wharf’s most expansive, panoramic views of the working harbor.

Stop by and enjoy a cocktail and our stunning views at the restaurant’s bar and lounge. Our ambiance is casual California and it’s suitable for visitors of all ages. Come see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did!

    No ambience. Dead atmosphere. Mediocre food. Whole Dungeness crab tasted old and sent it back. Service was not great. Would never recommend or return.

    Even though this restaurant is in a touristy area, somehow they still manage to serve amazing food with a down to earth attitude. The ambiance and service are both great, we never feel rushed. We love the calamari steak sandwich and abalone so much that we keep coming back.

    Mashed Potatoes on their signature Tri-plate were lumpy and roasted shrimp were smaller than in the past, but taste was excellent as expected.

    No one recognized we were there to celebrate our 10 year anniversary, the place did not made our evening special. This is not a place for celebrations.

    The location is beautiful and right at the end of the wharf. It was a cold and windy night when we dined, so the restaurant and entire area was super quiet (probably more than usual). I had a cosmo that tasted like it didn’t have any alcohol in it, but our food was decent. As you can imagine (for a super touristy area), it’s very expensive for what you get but the view and great service created an enjoyable evening for our family!

    The food was good, not great. The service was very good. I’d like to see a larger portion of fish for the money.
