39 Fishermans Wharf
Monterey, CA 93940
The tiny family eatery founded in the 1950's by Sabu Shake Sr. has endured and grown into one of the most beloved restaurants on the Monterey Peninsula. Like Fisherman's Wharf, the flagship Shake restaurant has kept up with changing times and tastes, and has outlasted almost all of its contemporaries.

The Lazy man Giopino tastes better than before. Delicious! The New Zealand kind salmon is fresh and fatty. Very delicious, worth the extra cost. Good day, good reception by Austin, good...

Food was great as was the service. The ambience was very calm and chill. Came to eat after the end of a conference and glad I stopped by.

No crackers for our delicious clam chowder or Sriracha or hot sauce for that matter, but otherwise 5 star.

My husband and I had a lovely last meal here in Monterey stopping into Grotto's. We had a 15 minute wait, then were seated. Every staff member we had an encounter with was very friendly & kind....

Delish spot on the wharf for steamed clams and a cup of chowder. Service was quick. We sat at the outdoors area with the smaller menu. Warning no fish and chips here just pastas, steamed goods.
