Domenico's On The Wharf - Monterey

I dine every New Year’s Eve at Domenico. My wife I have always experienced top quality food service. The restaurant its location, in my opinion, is among the top 5 best restaurants in the central coast area.

Delicious! And the views were to beautiful. The service was stellar.

Seated on time, however it took a while to get the initial drink order. Additionally the area we were seated must have been near the kitchen because you could smell it, initially the smell was nice but after time it became annoying.

The best restaurant on the wharf and one of the best in all of Monterey.

My husband and I had heard great things about Domenico's on the Wharf, so we decided to give it a try last night, and we were not disappointed. Despite the rainy weather, the restaurant was quite busy. We were seated at a window table and received excellent service from Ruben. We started with delicious appetizers - sardines for my husband and shrimp cocktail for myself. For our main courses, my husband had the amazing halibut, while I enjoyed the fish tacos. We paired our meal with a bottle of Pisoni's Lucia Pinot Noir, which was outstanding. We were pleasantly surprised when a table broke out into a spontaneous opera chorus, which we found impressive and thoroughly enjoyed. As locals, we sometimes overlook the larger restaurants near the wharf, assuming they cater more to tourists, but we had a five-star experience at Domenico's. If you want to avoid crowds, I would highly recommend visiting in the winter months.
