Dining Out - Monterey Bay Fish Grotto

Celebrated our third year anniversary at Monterey Bay Fish Grotto on Monday. As usual, we were greeted by friendly and attentive staff and we got seated at the "blue section" of the restaurant that extends out above Tysons Blvd. We ordered calamari for appetizer; the breading was perfect, just the right amount. For dinner, I had the lemon sole with lemon herb butter and my husband had the seared ahi tuna. The fish was fresh and cooked just right (though I would probably prefer the tuna if I were not pregnant). For dessert, we had Crème Brûlée (silky smooth and light) and cheesecake. Better yet, the dessert was on the house. :)

We have always enjoyed our visits to Monterey Bay Fish Grotto, with its nice ambiance, outstanding service, and excellent food. The bill might be a little bit on the pricey side (you can also tell by the groups of business people dressed in nice suits on expense accounts), but it is well worth it, and without the snootiness in some of the upscale restaurants.
