here to eat (and what to skip) on your coastal getaway! 📍 Phil’s Fish Market & Eatery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✅ Must-Order: Cioppino in a Bowl 🥣 – Huge seafood stew, packed with flavor! Fryer Combos 🍤 – Crispy, non-greasy fried platter. 📌 Verdict: A must-stop for hearty, affordable seafood! 📍 Monterey’s Fish House ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ ✅ Best Bite: Fried Calamari 🦑 (perfectly tender). 📌 Verdict: Only worth it for the calamari. 📍 Old Fisherman’s Grotto ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ ✅ Splurge-Worthy: Seafood Tower 🦐🦪 (salmon & scallops shine!). 📌 Verdict: Fancy but fresh—ideal for a treat. 📍 Carmel Bakery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ ✅ Sweet Picks: Lobster Tail (flaky, not too sweet). Raspberry Roll (tangy filling). 📌 Verdict: Perfect with coffee while strolling. 📍 Dametra Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ 🍽️ Greek food = okay, BUT… 💃🏻 SURPRISE DANCING STAFF! 📌 Verdict: Introverts beware—this is a chaotic party! 📍 Jeju Kitchen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✅ Korean Hits: Beef Short Rib (tender, smoky).
