I actually like the BW deli. If you spend enough bucks there she gets nice

-Rosine's is great, their big burger hits the spot after a long day of diving
-Monterey Fish House is awesome. Expect a decent wait at busy times

I'm not a big fan of either Turtle Bay or Gianni's. They fall into the OK category for me. If I'm going to go through the trouble of stopping for a bite I want something better I guess...

I also like the Japanese restaurant above the pub at the wharf. Forget what it is called though.

Yeah,a friendly bunch at the deli huh? I tried to talk to the owner who was out manning the pit about his BBQ (I have a nice smoker at home) what kind of wood,etc?
He wouldnt give me the time of day...

The British Bulldog is awesome for burgers and chicken sandwiches! Boddingtons
on tap!The british gals behind the bar are funny!

Why does diving make you soooo hungry!
Where is Turtle Bay located?

We refer affectionately to the person who works the counter as "the grumpy russian lady." She reminds me a lot of the soup nazi. "No sandwich for you!!!"

Has anyone tried that Thai rest near the aquarium?

I'll add Pasta Mia in PG (on Lighthouse). Yummy, pasta made in-house, not too spendy and low touron quotient.

All the best, James

They have soup which you can take to go... Tom Kah Ga... I believe. I'm told its yummy although haven't made it there yet.

There is another Thai restaurant at Marina near the Hwy 1 exit whose name escapes me. That place is AWESOME.

Went to PassionFish tonight.

Yum! Appetizer was smoked Sturgeon with dates, entrees were Tilapia and Trout. I liked the Tilapia very much.

Well except dessert is not really their strong point, skip the creme brulee IMO.

I like to get a beer and calamari at Schooners after diving. the patio seating is great!
