Most of the stuff within walking distance of the Conference Center is strictly for turista. The only outstanding exception is Domenico's on the Wharf. Probably a little pricier than it has a right to be but the view is nice. Continental seafood. There's also a Thai place called Siamese Bay up by the Post Office (I can never remember the address, the streets in that area were laid out by a three year old playing pick-up-sticks) that is pretty good. If you like it Thai hot, they'll give it to you! My favorite place to eat in the Monterey Bay area is in Carmel: La Boheme at 7th and Dolores (they don't have street addressed in Carmel proper, only sort of vague locations). It a table d'hote affair, meaning that there's only one thing on the menu each night (plus a vegetarian dish if you feel so inclined) and, IMHO, it is always EXCELLENT. I've been there more times than my waistline can stand and have always left happy and well fed. No reservations taken or needed, as they say. Carmel is great for walking around in -- during the early evening -- after most of the tourists have left... spl (the p stands for packing for a road trip.)
