Excerpts from mail: 26-Apr-96 Re: Name of fish restaurant? by Bradley Haver > it used to be d'imperio's. now it's fairchild's. > Brad, thanks so much for your response (and thanks to all who responded), but actually, the restaurant name I was seeking is ''Monterey Bay.'' Perhaps they've changed again? I had seen a lot of discussion on the bboard about this place and so when an opportunity to treat my S.O. and myself came up, we went with a couple of friends. The fish was wonderful: succulent, tender, *fresh* and freshly cooked. The other elements of the meal were also very good although not quite as fab as the fish--yummy loaves of sourdough bread, better than average salads and dressings (although for my tastes, they drenched it), good veggies . . . good desserts. Service was good and cheerful. And I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality of the fish--I think $16.95 for my yellowtail snapper, marinated in a fresh basil vinegrette and charbroiled/grilled and $14.95 for blackened redfish (S.O. said it was not spicy enough). While this is certainly not affordable for us (grad student/writer) on a regular basis, I think they're fair prices for very fresh fish. As a final note; it's kind of an odd setting, being at the top of an office building in the midst of suburbia (we had a dizzying view of the strip shopping centers along Rte 22)--I felt like I was going to visit my insurance agent--but it certainly wasn't unpleasant and as long as the quality of the food remain high, I'll go back.\ --loel

Name of fish restaurant?
Went to Monterrey Bay with my wife this past weekend. Really excellent fish. Fresh and quite a variety. I had the crabcakes which were 98% solid lump crabmeat with little filler, excellently broiled. My wife had the salmon with honey and lime sauce, char-broiled. Excellent again. Truly a good choice for that special meal! Allen
