The downstairs is a pretty high end Italian but up top they have an open air deck with sofas, pillows, music, lights and an appetizer menu. Nice place to wind down the evening and open fairly late.

Sightseeing

You can take any number of whale watching excursions off the wharf in Monterey. Spectacular views of several types of whales. Sea sickness can be an issue. Eat lightly and consider an over the counter seasickness med, but worth it! Most tours are 3-4 hrs. Dress in layers, can be very chilly.
