    Love Cioppino, Steve and Sue! I also believe we had it right there at the Sandbar! I know Kathy and I have been back to Monterrey several times during our lives together. (I was stationed there before knowing her) I know we ate there, but don't remember for sure what we ate. Love other seafood too and the Fish House looked wonderful too! We also love generous portions. Enjoyed pizza night. Looking forward to part two! Thanks for bringing back the memories.

    As a local, Sandbar is a tourist trap, most locals would not go there. California Seltzer, a newer tourist trap. Overpriced, not local food AT ALL, and only open for times tourists would be in town. If you want local food, try something open more than 3 times weekly. As another commenter mentioned, Gianni's is the best local pizza period. This was hard to watch, although I was rooting for y'all.

    Sandbar & Grill is a movie scene shooting location for Clint Eastwood's 1971 "Play Misty for Me". Stumbled upon it the other day with my son on our day roadtrip to Monterey. It really is the locals' place to eat. But go early if you don't want a long wait for a table. kzread.info/dash/bejne/imSFwamCc8K7cbA.htmlsi=xvaWBjgUng9RFeoN
