Not your average aquarium food. Great view, food and service. While it costs more than the cafe, you get seated and taken care of well. Food was good.…

Coffee and a cookie. I gotta be honest, I didn’t have the food so I stopped at their coffee counter which is justcookies and pastries. I had a nicely done large mocha and a large ginger cookie that was a a perfect cookie. A little bitta crisp, a lot of deep molasses chew, a ginger bite with dark chocolate drizzled across the top. There are a bunch of tasty treats at the coffee counter.
This is a cafeteria with a very limited menu. The food is low grade and if you are looking for a good meal on the water there are numerous other much better restaurants on the water in the area.
The food is really fantastic. Many vegetarian choices, which I really appreciate. The menu rotates periodically. I find the prices here are comparable to any other restaurant on cannery row- and much better food!I thought the kids pizza was a little overpriced, but the waiter was great and brought our nephew binoculars to look out into the bay! Fun day, and if you’re at the aquarium it’s a must!
Clam Chowder. The Good:-not too salty-great balance of vegetables to seafood-tasty broth that’s not too thick and not too thin-good-sized portions-served quickly, given the huge influx of customersThe Bad:-borders on over-seasonedOverall, the clam chowder s an extremely pleasing dish, one that perfectly kicks off or rounds up a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.13 Jul, 2011Portola Cafe/Monterey Bay Aquarium (Seafood). When you have a restaurant with sweeping ocean views and great food, why not stop by? Located in the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Portola Cafe is one of the major attractions of the world-famous aquarium. It’s beautiful views are half the experience. From it’s spot on top of a short cliff, you can view the sea for miles on. As for the food, well, it’s delicious. The chowder is highly recommended, and for good reason. They also have a huge variety of dishes ranging from burgers to to soup to chicken to fish. This is a must-try gem of a restaurant. Rating: 7.9/10 tasteperiod.blogspot.com
Great location. Lovely Linguini With Clams with delicious broth and crusty fresh sourdough bread to dip in it.
Two things that I love about this restaurant are it’s closeness to me and the fact that they have a great stout beer on tap! The food is always excellent, and they have one of the best views of the bay. If you sit at the bar, the bartenders are more than generous with pours and are endless resources for a visit to the area!
Go to see the fish. Stay for the chowder! The chowder is absolutely awesome. The burger is massive and the fish and chips are perfect. Well worth the price of admission.
