Old Fisherman's Grotto Restaurant on Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey California serves the finest seafood, steak and pasta with fabulous ocean views.

With his cowboy hat cocked on the back of his head, Sabu Shake was a legend on Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf, greeting guests at his restaurant, Old Fisherman's Grotto since 1950. For nearly five decades Mr. Shake, his wife Isabella, and their six sons have owned and operated the Grotto. Since the very beginning, the Shake family has dedicated itself to preparing and serving only the finest cuisine, offering fresh seafood from the Monterey Bay, caught daily on the family's own commercial fishing boats.

Their love of these waters led to the establishment of Monterey Sport Fishing, a three-vessel fleet based at the end of Fisherman's Wharf, offering exciting whale watching trips (in season), fishing charters and scenic harbor cruises. Ask your server for a schedule and discount coupons. In addition to constantly refining recipes and developing new ones, the Shake family has always focused on top quality. They personally select and serve only U.S.D.A. choice certified Black Angus and Hereford beef. We believe you can actually taste why a half-century of family tradition and commitment to excellence have earned Old Fisherman's Grotto a worldwide reputation for quality dining.
