Love Cioppino, Steve and Sue! I also believe we had it right there at the Sandbar! I know Kathy and I have been back to Monterrey several times during our lives together. (I was stationed there before knowing her) I know we ate there, but don't remember for sure what we ate. Love other seafood too and the Fish House looked wonderful too! We also love generous portions. Enjoyed pizza night. Looking forward to part two! Thanks for bringing back the memories.
You must have really enjoyed living in the Monterey area! The seafood is fantastic! Part 2 comes out Jan 6th (we have two unexpected videos coming out before then!) Thanks for watching!
Now you’re making me jealous. I missed all those restaurants when I was there. Looks like some cracking seafood to be had. 👏
Well HW, time for you to come back! The seafood is calling you! LOL. Thanks for watching!
When we travel we always go where the locals go or family owned restaurants or businesses
We agree! And it helps if you know a local when you arrive! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment! Cheers!
What a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing!
Hello! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I am a local, and I think Phil's fish market in Castroville has excellent ciopinno. A short drive from Monterey. The restaurant has been featured on Food netwook, BBC travel etc.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to see if we can make it up there next time we're out to visit Pacific Grove! Appreciate your watching. Appreciate your input. Cheers!
I like these OGs
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I have to say Steve, you (and Sue) are getting better as a tour guide of the local establishments and what to watch for!
We appreciate that! We make these videos to help those who are considering travel to the areas we visited, or are just interested in seeing what it's all about! Thanks for watching!
Sandbar & Grill is a movie scene shooting location for Clint Eastwood's 1971 "Play Misty for Me". Stumbled upon it the other day with my son on our day roadtrip to Monterey. It really is the locals' place to eat. But go early if you don't want a long wait for a table.

Never knew that about Clint Eastwoods movie! Cool! Yes, good advice...go early! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment!
LOL...locals would never go to the restaurant at Lover's Point. I've walked past the CA Seltzer Company hundreds of times...never looked like it was open! Locals go to Gianni's for pizza (I suspect a lot of tourists go there, too).
You'll have to try Ca Seltzer! Good to know about Gianni's! Will have to try them next time when we return in November! Thanks!
32$ for seafood stew means it's still a tourist destination. Also, you should have ordered the sand dabs.
Will have to try the Sand Dabs next time! Tourist spot or not, eating out has gotten really expensive! Thanks for watching!
As a local, Sandbar is a tourist trap, most locals would not go there. California Seltzer, a newer tourist trap. Overpriced, not local food AT ALL, and only open for times tourists would be in town. If you want local food, try something open more than 3 times weekly. As another commenter mentioned, Gianni's is the best local pizza period. This was hard to watch, although I was rooting for y'all.
Hey hello,... always appreciate comments from locals and your input is really valuable! Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving a comment. We'll have to try your pizza selection next time!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Now I feel like an ass. Thank you for being so nice after my rant! Definitely gained a sub out of my wife and me. Watching through your library now!!!
Hey welcome aboard! Thanks for coming along with us!
Monterey Fish House cioppino is the best. Lived here 20 years, and never been to the Sandbar. My go to at MFH is the calamari parmesan! Also, possibly the best calamari, too! MFH has parking right next door - you parked in the wrong place. And they have a snickerdoodle cake that is to die for!!! For pizza, Giannis or Pizza My Heart. That seltzer place is a tourist trap.
Hey thanks for the suggestions! We would agree.. the MFS is the best, and when we return to the area this fall we will be sure to order their cioppino! Will also plan to try your pizza suggestions! Thanks again, and thanks for watching! Cheers!
Beautiful place, nice restaurant, 😍 thank you for taking us along 💗
Our pleasure! Thanks for coming along! We appreciate it!
Wow seafoods.. I so love it!I love your energy sir Steve and Miss Sue..thank you always for the tour..so enjoyed it..(late watching some videos because I got busy moving some stuff✌️)but catching all of it now..stay safe lovely couple and happy holidays ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Always good to hear from you! Don't worry about watching the videos...I know you are busy planning how/when to see Brian! But, we appreciate you watching and for your support! Happy New Year!
Is the eggplant as good as Sue’s? Sign me off what could be better than eggplant and calamari😋
Not as good as Sues but the combination flavor of the eggplant and calamari was amazing!
Funny i have lived here most of my life and I have never been to any of these restaurants.
You should give them a try! LOL Thanks for watching!
บรรยากาศดีมาก เป็นเมืองที่สวยและน่าอยู่ follow the next episode 🔔💕👍
ขอบคุณมาก! มีความสุขที่มีคุณกับเรา!
The cioppino at Sandbar is delicious-great recommendation! I was surprised by how good the calamari steak is too.
Yes, so good! We loved the fresh seafood in Monterey and can't wait to go back! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks guide for us to see beautiful places

The salmon pasta looks appetizing! 💖

Monterey Fish House is absolutely excellent.
You are 100% correct and we can't wait to go back to have another meal there this fall! Thanks for watching. Thanks for leaving a comment!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Try the rack of lamb when you go back.
@@GamerplayerWT Sounds great but we are hooked on seafood!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue me too, especially there, but their rack of lamb is amazing.
This video was absolutely solid. I dig

Very interesting thank you for the information great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! It's a great location to visit. Thanks for watching!
❤ just found yall channel I currently wanna move to Monterey 😇 I’m in my 20s it seem so chill there
Welcome!! Monterey and Pacific Grove are great places to live! But it is expensive and they do loose their power often during storms. Otherwise, its wonderful! Hope your plans work out and thanks for watching! (if you haven't already, please subscribe and get us to 1700! Thanks!)
It's good to know where and when to go, fun and informative --thank you,
It's our pleasure! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment! Cheers!
This got me hungry... got to remember the earplugs if I am going to visit american restaurants... seems quite a bit noisier than where I am located...
Yes, in the US we tend to talk loudly! Bring your ear plugs! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment! Cheers!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue To be fair... I was once in Miami properly fine dining with my dad... the loudest table was, with a fair margin of decibels, a drunken group of people "talking"(!) german 😄
EDIT: and oh yes, thanks for the vid. I´ve been thinking to take visit at NorCal someday... looks really inviting to me as a finn...
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! It's our pleasure! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Sir how were those seltzers? We’re they sweet or a simple sparkling seltzer?
They had a very slight sweet flavor to them and were not bitter! Thanks for watching and for asking a question. Cheers!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue Thank you for the response sir/ ma’am, I’ll have to go and try them soon! Great video as usual.
@@jcx-ig5xs Our Pleasure! Thanks!
My tourist $$ will not be spent in Commiefornia, $6000, spent between 2017 & 2019 no more.
Hey do you want a hot tip on where I would spend my tourist dollars? Check out Prague in the Czech Republic where beers cost $2.50 and a decent meal. $15! We are here now and it's a beautiful city. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving the comment!
Haha😂😂😂😂 locals don't eat there... And the food is disgusting!
Our locals love the food there! Thanks for watching!
@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue No they don't. And the food is frozen and delivered from Asia. I don't know how I ended up in your video haha. Try going to other countries where food is actually real food!
