Louie Linguini's - Monterey, California

Claudia R.

We had a joyful experience celebrating my husband’s birthday, staff was friendly, we called before going to make a reservation on an ocean view table and even tho we arrived a few minutes late we got our table and excellent service.

It does not have its own parking lot but you can find paid spaces on the street (approx. 2.5 USD per hour)

We totally recommend this place. Food was great.

It was our wedding anniversary, and we were eager to try this establishment. We had high expectations, but unfortunately, it was a disappointment. However, I must commend the excellent service provided by the staff. The view was breathtaking, but the quality of the seafood was questionable.

It was A Fishy Affair:
I was eager to try the cioppino at this establishment, but unfortunately, the dish was a disappointment. The seafood, though plentiful, had a strong, unpleasant fishy taste that suggested it may not have been the freshest. The broth lacked depth and complexity, leaving the overall flavor profile quite bland.
The bread, a common accompaniment to cioppino, was a miss. Placed on top of the dish, it quickly soaked up the juices, becoming soggy and unappetizing. A separate basket of fresh, dry bread or grilled crostini would have been a much better option.
While the presentation of the dish was visually appealing, the taste was ultimately what mattered. The fishy flavor and lackluster broth were major drawbacks. I would recommend that the restaurant reassess their seafood sourcing and refine their cioppino recipe to deliver a more satisfying dining experience. We had something else I believe it was the sampler fried this was good but it could have used some more seasoning. I feel like it's like one of those restaurants for tourists I probably will not come back anytime soon.

Gluten free pasta was yummy. I should've gotten the crab legs cut. Alot of seafood in the pasta. The crab fries were fried just right however the crab needed a bit more flavor.
My drink was 😋 yum and my friend said her salmon was delicious. Prices are very resistant

Food wasn’t too bad, my friend enjoyed his seafood linguine and the fried shrimp. However, the clam chowder was a bit too starchy and thick and while I thought the pizza wasn’t bad my friend did not like it that much. The pizza was thin crust and to me was quite tasty. However, the best part was the views on the outer deck and seeing the ocean while eating, servers were really nice.

Great Italian food in a relaxing environment. Our server was very attentive. Loved the chicken parmigiana. Clam chowder was outstanding but the sour dough was a little weak regarding the sour. Still delicious!

The clam chowder was nice and chunky, the tuna burger was delicious as well. I really liked that they have an elevator to assist people with disabilities to get to the restaurant. The customer service was really good as well. Looking forward to trying other dishes if I’m in the area.

And as soon as I saw the restaurant's name..Louie Linguini's... that old advertisement came to mind...you remember "With a name like Smucker's it's got to be good"
So, even though I had a hankering for a cheeseburger at the Flying Squirrel Café I whipped it on in for a couple of Shrimp Louies. Man-O-Man were they Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆
