    This location seems to have great reviews. We were seated outside where there was allot of noise from the courtyard and kids running around. The food was cooked well but very very bland. We ordered the Chipppino Pot as well as a chicken dish. Some appetizers as well. The oysters were not brought with horserashid and cocktail sauce and after a couple requests it was brought to our table. The shrimp cocktail was done very well, clean and fresh and de veined properly. The chowder and the Chipppino were both lacking in flavor and depth. All in all disappointing for the 200$ price point for a couple. I expected more ambience and more developed flavors.

    We opted to sit outside. We were seated at a partially sunny table. This was initially okay but as the mist or fog lifted, was too sunny for us. We wish we had opted to sit inside and just look out the big window. Service was attentive. My husband had a burrito that was a little bland. I had an omelet with ham and prosciutto and mozzarella red peppers. It was very good. The baby potatoes were tasty.

    Our family visited Schooners Monterey based on the exceptional reviews during our day trip to Monterey. I was underwhelmed particularly given the cost. My husband and I shared the Ceviche which never stated what the fish was. I only found out later it may have had lobster which I cannot eat as I have a food intolerance to crustaceans (sadly). Our wait staff never once asked if we had any allergies or food concerns and never explained what was in the mystery ceviche. I only surmised it was lobster after experiencing intolerance symptoms later. Additionally, we ordered the cioppino, scallops, and a side of brussels sprouts. The cioppino was relatively flavorless, the scallops were well prepared, but not mind blowing. The brussels sprouts were honestly the best part of the meal. Along with the kid's meal, the total bill was ~150 USD. Long story short, the view was great, but I would not return for the food.
