About this business
In spite of its somewhat suggestive name, this restaurant is a model of propriety. The dining room is comfortable yet sophisticated. The cream-colored walls are adorned with just a bit of artwork, but not too much. Low lights and proper white table linens add a refined touch. The specialty of the house is its ever-changing selection of fresh, locally caught fish. The wine list has won awards in the past, and the restaurant is proud to offer many of the vintages at very affordable prices.

Expected better food! – I was so excited to go to Passionfish to celebrate my sister's birthday; the reviews made it sound like the perfect place. The staff was outstanding- seated quickly, friendly service, water was always full, plates were taken away immediately. The Dungeoness crab salad on avacado with ginger vinaigrette was unbelieveable. One of us ordered the grilled Tilapia and the other the scallops; then we swapped. I found the scallops to be soooo salty that my tongue felt swollen, sandy as well. We both found the... read more
One Amazing Restaurant – Our dinner at Passionfish was one of the best meals we have ever had. First, the food is excellent. The appetizers, salads, main courses and desserts were all delicious. Second, they have an extensive wine list with very fair prices. Third, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was very helpful and always there when we needed her. Finally, if you are there for a celebration of some kind, an anniversary, a birthday or what have you, they go the extra step. They'll add a little extra decoration to ... read more
OMG! This Place is wonderful! – This place is incredible from the food to the service. My husband and I were in Carmel for the week and decided to go to Passionfish because I saw some good reviews. Since I love to cook and am a foodie I always try to look for a place that has a menu that is unique and offers variety. The food here is excellent! From the appetizers to the entrees and they also have a great wine list. Here?s a tip, don?t order the wine by the glass. The prices here are almost retail prices, they just add a few... read more
Sleek seafood shines at this sophisticated eatery in downtown Pacific Grove. – The Scene Located in a low, boxy beige building at the end of Pacific Grove's main shopping strip, Passionfish does indeed have a passionate following. Locals and savvy visitors keep the two simple, white-tablecloth dining rooms buzzing. Servers are knowledgable but apt to disappear once orders have been placed. The Food Chef-owner Ted Walter has built Passionfish's following with a sophisticated approach to contemporary California cuisine. The em... read more
Amazing Food! – I was down in Laguna Seca for MotoGP and needed a nice "date" place to take my boyfriend on Sunday. Using the reader reviews as a guide I decided to go to Passionfish and I'm happy to say I was extremely pleased. The service, from the host all the way to our server (who just happened to be Cindy, the chef's wife) was excellent. They were friendly, knowledgeable and very warm. We were treated like family. The space was clean and well lit, and while there were many conversations going on, I didn't find it to be... read more
Fantastic but be prepared for the cramped seating and noise. – Having read all the reviews, I have to agree the food was fantastic. The service was very good. The only problem was the seating and the noise. The waiter had to put his rear practically on our table to wait on the end table. No one said anything about it being noisy. Maybe it was just our luck that their were a lot of 6 and 8 tops the night we went. Don't get me wrong the food was great and it was a great value. We didn't stay for desert but went across the stre... read more
passionate @ This Place – What a night, the food is excellent, the service was good and the location is easy to get to. My boyfriend from Nashville found this place on City search, and we had the best meal ever. We started out with the Ahi Tuna appetizer with the crab cake, both were as expected high quality and prepared to order, the cost was a great value $9.00 per appetizer, unbeatable. We shared the salad with fried olives, also large portion and wonderful taste. We then split a large piece of mahi mahi which was prepare... read more
Outstanding experience – Ate dinner here this evening, and was very impressed overall. The place has a nice ambience, without being pretentious. Service was very attentive and helpful. The wine selection was substantial without being overly pricey. The food was the star though. Our dishes were outstanding, from the ahi tuna appetizer to the short ribs and halibut mains. They were prepared to perfection and were delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this place...
Excellent! – Seated promptly. Excellent service. Knowledgable wait staff. Helpful. Great wine list with good prices. Great food. All around great experience.
