Monterey Restaurants - The Sardine FactorySeen Right, The Lounge offers an innovative tapas menu.

Every city has that one restaurant you can’t miss, where celebrities feel at home and every other guest feels like a celebrity. Since October 2, 1968, the Sardine Factory has that cachet — world leaders, sports heroes, and entertainment icons have made a tradition of dining in our historic Cannery Row setting.

Our award-winning chefs prepare each delectable creation of fresh, sustainable seafood, and USDA Prime Beef for you alone. The signature Abalone Bisque was served by request at President Ronald Reagan’s inaugural dinners, and the Macadamia-Crusted Mahi Mahi is one of TV celeb Rachel Ray’s favorites. The Sardine Factory serves only the best Eastern corn-fed USDA Prime Beef, hand picked and aged to ensure maximum tenderness and flavor. No other steak will ever compare!

Our service is so warm and friendly you’ll feel like a regular, and after just one visit, you will be. A choice from the wine collection complements any dish — after all, we won the 2006 Best Wine List in America award from Restaurant Hospitality Magazine.

The Lounge’s live entertainment and affordable, flexible menu are a casual alternative to our other dining rooms.

Whether you’re planning a special occasion or a more casual night out with family and friends, the Sardine Factory is a must in Monterey. Fun never tasted this good!
