    We very much enjoyed the Mother's Day special menu and event. We were seated promptly with no issues. The room was pretty and uncrowded, though full. Service was attentive and excellent. The food was all great, enjoyed by all at the table. We were unrushed for our special event. Parking was free in the adjacent parking lot since we had reservations. Overall, a great experience that we would hope to do again at our next special event.

    Schooners is one of our favorite restaurants in Monterey. On a sunny day, there is no better place for brunch or lunch. The patio overlooking the bay makes you feel lije you are on a cruise. The food is delicious and the service impeccable. A BIG thank you to the chef and staff!
