Solo dining in Monterey?

[DavisSquare]

Hi 'hounds. I'm coming to Monterey for business next week and, unfortunately, will only have one night free for dinner, and it'll probably be alone. From your very helpful past comments, Passion Fish sounds fantastic, and its website looks just right. Would a solo diner be comfortable there? Do they have a bar? If not (or even if so), any other recommendations for solo in Monterey?

Thanks in advance, and if you're ever in Boston, come on over and ask us, we love to share.

There is no bar at Passionfish, but I'd be very comfortable dining alone there. However, if you are going on a weekend, a reservation, even for one, would be strongly recommended. It would definitely be my choice for only one free night.

I think you'll be fine at Passion Fish. If I were dining alone, I'd probably go to Cantinetta Luca in Carmel, because the food is great, but the noise level makes conversation very difficult, so solo would be an advantage.
