Phil's Fish Market & Eatery

Fresh seafood market on one side w/ a restaurant on the other side (different buildings). Order and pay as you walk in (no table service). Pick out a table inside or outside and grab a seat. There is a walk up bar for alcohol. We had a limited wait for food and it was delivered perfectly. Would love to go back

The portions are great, one regular cioppino was enough for us to split. There was so much crab in it too! And it was falling out of the shell. No dry, stiff, frozen meat here. The artichoke Provencal was also so freaking good. Highly recommend.

I really wanted to like this place, but left feeling a bit disappointed. Prices keep going up, yet the quality just isn’t there. A lot of the dishes are mostly thick, greasy batter with barely any real seafood inside. It feels like you’re paying premium prices for something that tastes more like fast food. What’s especially frustrating is that, given how close we are to the ocean, you’d expect fresher, more affordable seafood. Instead, it feels overpriced and underwhelming. Not awful, but definitely not worth what they charge.

I was so looking forward to a wonderful experience but was disappointed. When we arrived the entrance was crowded and the lady at the register was hard to understand. We sat ourselves down and our wait wasn’t long but the lady that brought our food needs to be re-schooled on customer etiquette. The female was the oldest of the waitresses but she had a nasty demeanor. The clam chowder was a bit thick and I could taste the gritty texture of sand the child size fish and chips were a bit better. We will try this place again but not to soon.

Came here with the family of 5.. Service is okay.. nothin special, seems like there just here to collect their paycheck, no energy, no vibes.. Specifically my Fettucini Alfredo w/ blackened Salmon was (meh) 😒. For the amount it cost I was expecting something spectacular.. but definately wont ever order again.. the side of garlic bread was (meh) i make better garlic bread at home. My wife loved the scallop plate.. son loved his fryer combo, little one says his burger was okay, eventually only took a few small bites and didnt want no more, so i tried the burger myself and honestly I could have made a better burger at home.. the burger was tasteless, like they grabbed ground beef made a patty and cooked it🙄 ridiculous at least it was a fat one. Lastly, my daughter loved her chicken burger with fries.. Overall this place could have better drink selections not just from fountain. The salad that was included with my alfredo plate was a little stale and dry, seemed like it was from yesterday, which is not how salad is supposed to be.. but hey live and learn right.. hopefully this reaches people out there. Your better off going to Monterey for better quality and similar prices. Final total for a family of 5.. around $170.. again ridiculous..

Very quick ordering process! Menu is on the eraser board. Hard to peruse the menu before forcing to decide what to order as people were waiting impatiently behind you. Dishes simply served with no fanfare : Tasty Ciopino , $31, comes with salad and 1 piece of garlic bread; soft shell crab sandwich served with French fries or coleslaw; and shrimp sandwich also served with the same selection of side dish. Tasty foods!!

I miss their old location right by the beach, but this new location is not bad either! It has a spacious private parking lot in the back which can accommodate up to 20 cars. There are also ample free street parkings. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted with a nice smell of delicious seafood dishes. They have large menus posted right by the entrance so you can easily look at and debate on what to order while you wait in line. There are also pamphlet-style menus and regular laminated menus available if you prefer to have something in hands to scan through. After you order and pay, you'll receive a number to put on your table. Grab some water and utensils yourself and proceed to either indoor or outdoor seating areas of your choice. I love that the outdoor seating area is really spacious and nicely decorated with a cute Christmas tree for holiday spirit. I have my puppy with me thus opted for the outdoor area. Our dishes arrived quickly. For every main dish you order, they provide free side salads which are freshly made and quite tasty. We ordered Linguine and Clam and Fettuccine with Blackened Salmon for main dishes. The blackened salmon is super fresh and delicious with the right amount of flavors whereas the clams are sweet and refreshing. We devoured our meals with lightening speed. Another thing I love about this place is that their portion is generous. Despite the facts that we were super hangry and their food was tasty, we couldn't finish and had to have them to go. Overall, I enjoy this new location. I take off one star because there were so many flies flying around and hovering over our food while we were there. Hopefully they'll do something to address the fly problem.

I used to love Phil’s when it was in Moss Landing. My family had been going there for decades. While I can appreciate the situation and the change of venue, it just isn’t the same. The menu seems to be the same, but the food quality isn’t. We ordered steamed mussels, steamed clams, oysters, a grilled artichoke, and fish tacos— and while everything was decent, I felt like it just wasn’t as flavorful as it used to be. In comparison to other similar area restaurants, their prices are much higher, too. I will say, the new restaurant is very clean, the staff is working hard, and I do love the market section where you can buy all the goodies.
