We decided to eat at the Blue Fin the last time we were in Monterey mostly because we had never eaten there before and it was my husband's turn to pick.\r
\r
OK, its pretty much a sports bar with pool tables but the service was fast and friendly. (With two kids in tow that's important!)\r
\r
We ordered way too much food but it was all fantastic! My husband had the clams as an appetizer and said they were so good he wished he'd have ordered two orders! \r
\r
My kids loved the veggie platter and chicken strips and I have not in recently memory had such fresh fried shrimp. Very clean tasting, not overly breaded, nothing masked the fresh flavor.\r
\r
We ordered a few meals off of their 2 for $20 menu and got dessert (creme brulee) thrown in which was just perfect! \r
\r
The waitress kept the food coming quickly and we didn't feel rushed like we usually do because other places want to ""turn"" the table or think that a family isn't going to tip well so we're not worth their time.\r
\r
We all gave the restaurant and experience a big thumbs up and can't wait to go back!
