Sandbar & Grill

Wharf 2, Monterey, (831) 373-2818, sandbarandgrillmonterey.com

Maybe you’re a local who needs to feel as though you’re on The Love Boat in a land far away – have Isaac shake up a cocktail, and stat. Perhaps you’re a land-locked visitor and you crave seafood dockside. However you approach this municipal wharf restaurant, you’ll feel as if you’re welcomed aboard the SS Sandbar, with the neighboring boats in the harbor and the full walls of galley windows. You’re not likely to feel the effects of motion sickness as you’re not actually on a boat, so go for the bloody mary.
