Passionfish was an amazing experience; outstanding food and service. We ordered many appetizers & salads to share, and two mains to split all between four of us. The dishes had very different flavours that were enjoyable. They have very reasonable drink prices, and had specific allergy menus that we had never seen at another restaurant! Passionfish is ahead of its time, and I will definitely be coming back.

Wow! I am absolutely blown away by this restaurant. We visited from Canada for a family members birthday and weren't really sure what to expect. We got there a bit early and they were able to accommodate. The hostess sat us down and gave us custom "Happy Birthday" menus. I personally have a new dairy allergy and was trying to figure out what I could eat. We asked the waitress a few questions (she was very knowledgeable about all the food) and ended up bringing us an allergy menu that listen what items were in each item on the menu and which menu items were customizable. We were very impressed. The beverage menu was reasonably priced (beer/ cider from 3-7 $). We wanted to taste a little of everything so we ordered 5-6 apps and 2 fish entrees. Everything was perfection, although anything that mentioned spice, was definitely spicy! Something to note if spice isn't your forte. At the end, we were brought a complimentary dessert for the birthday boy. What a wonderful experience, I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, for a quaint meal.

We had the fried oysters as an appetizer. It comes eith 3 but you can add an extra if you are sharing. We ordered the best and Apple salad (delish), the 12 hour spoon lamb oh my God was it delicious, tender, well seasoned and just awesome. To top it off we had the buttermilk biscuits. I've never tasted anything like them. The entire meal was every bit of 5 stars. Service was excellent. I can hardly wait to visit again.

Definitely pleasant dining experience. The appetizers and entree were tasty, fresh, and well presented. Service was very good and unobtrusive. Ambiance was quite and conducive to private conversation.

This is a nice restaurant to have a tasty dinner in Monterey. The food is overall well made and there are some excellent dishes. However, the servers and service felt rushed, and some of the dishes were over-seasoned. The sauce with the Arctic char was overpowering and the duck, although perfectly cooked, was too sweet. Some dish presentations were sloppy. Service was a bit impersonal, water wasn’t refilled and we felt that since we ate a bit later they wanted us in and out. Overall, a tasty dinner but could use some work.
