Definitely make a reservation,…as they are very popular and it’s no wonder! This was my first visit and will not be my first. Parking is street parking, so depending on local events could be a bit challenging. About the Wild Fish Restaurant…from the moment I arrived to when I departed, everyone from the owner to the staff were nothing short of spectacular! They met everyone with a smile, answered every question and were attentive to all their customers. I had their swordfish, it was approx. 1/2″ thick and was tender and moist, it came with potatoes and greens…all cooked perfectly. You must try the coconut and rum cocktail…amazing and their butterscotch desert was perfect as well. Give them a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Nice little spot in Pacific Grove. Food is pretty good. I ordered the fish chowder and it was more of just a fish soup. Kinda threw me off. Also had the Ahi Poke and it was ok. I was hoping for more fish and more flavor. I’ll be back.

Absolutely terrible experience compared the experience at their other location (Little River). I can’t believe the vast difference in food, service and ambience between the 2 places. The one in Pacific Grove was absolutely horrendous experience. The one in Little River was absolutely incredible, which was why I am shocked how horrible Pacific Grove location turned out.

The meal was super fresh and the service was fantastic! My only complaint is that the ketchup, tuna and glaze were a bit flavorless. The presentation was beautiful but it fell flat with taste. The people with me got the halibut and seemed to really like that though. Overall I’d recommend. Also, the fish and chips that everyone raves about is only available at lunch.

Place was nice. I would recommend making a reservation because it fills up even early on a Saturday.

The food selection was excellent. We met a friend and his family for dinner. Despite the fact that we brought our own wine, the food ended up at $50 pp. A bit pricey for the location but decent food.

First timers here but will be back soon. Started with oysters from WA state. 2 kinds, both good and well described by our excellent server Brandon. Swordfish and halibut were both excellent. The au provire sauce was perfect with the steak-like swordfish, crispy potatoes and locally sourced mushrooms. The sticky toffee pudding was a perfect dessert. Not too much, just right. They do have a full bar and a good wine list with focus on both local and California.

Business dinner. Excellent outdoor parking. Wonderfully attentive service. Prompt to fill water glass, asked if we need extra drinks and plates which requires paying attention. This was greatly appreciated so we can enjoy our meal and discussion without interruption by looking for help.

This was the highlight meal of our weekend away in Pacific Grove. We visited on a Friday and enjoyed the live jazz, warm welcome and check-in throughout the meal by the owners, very friendly waitstaff and the food and wine pairing were delicious. The whole cooked fish was on the dry side but I think it was the type of fish. The fish collar special-of-the-day appetizer was remarkable (never had anything that delectable). I loved people watching too. Everyone enjoyed their food, the company and the camaraderie of the wait staff and music performers demonstrated the trust and care they have for each other. The menu highlights the source of the seafood which triggered a conversation with our neighboring table later in the evening. So fun!
