Municipal Wharf 2, Monterey, CA 93940 · Seafood restaurant, Bar & grill, Restaurant · Cannery Row

Waterfront seafood favorite with lively bar, standout chowder and calamari, strong service, and great views; expect waits and premium pricing, with occasional service and takeaway policy hiccups.

Our take

Sandbar & Grill delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality—particularly its signature clam chowder and calamari—paired with quick, team-oriented service. The outstanding waterfront setting with marina views elevates the experience, though inconsistent execution on some dishes and space constraints prevent it from reaching grade A territory. A reliable neighborhood gem that exceeds typical restaurant standards.

One caveat: Wait times can stretch at peak; window seats are coveted
