Restaurants near Best Western Salinas Monterey

Ms Isabel was outstanding, food was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

I've been telling people about Saltwood all day... We got there late because there was a traffic tie-up but they could still seat us at a nice table. First off I enjoyed washing my hands with the salt scrub they provide in the restroom. Then we ordered cocktails from their menu.. both were excellent. Our friends arrived and chose the $18 burger special with fries and their choice of beer. We ordered chilled oysters for $3 each but large, served with two different sauces. I ordered a bowl of clam chowder, which was super creamy and delicious, with big chunks of clam throughout. It was probably the best I can remember having, though I'll need to go back to Fisherman's Grotto to compare. The Grotto offers 6 oysters for $16, which is another reason to go back there. Overall I highly recommend Saltwood (parking is way better here than Fisherman's Wharf but requires a drive to Marina.) There's no view to speak of but the decor is fresh and uplifting. The servers are very thoughtful and we will definitely be back.

A good experience. Our waiter was exceptional. He made the evening special with his service and friendliness!

Always a good time here. I wish drinks could come out a little faster but other than that it’s always good here.

Awesome people! The band was fantastic, the food was great, the atmosphere was awesome, and we got to watch the UFC as well! Thank you
