It's been too many years (about 4) since I was there, so I don't remember names, but a quick look at http://www.montery.com http://monterey.areaguides.net and http://www.monterey- travel.org/destination_planning/regions/monterey/dining/index.html refreshed my memory. Since it has been a few years, my recommendations come with a caveat - things change. Overall, walking a few blocks off Cannery Row causes prices to drop, but there are rea$onable places on Cannery Row also... just look at the prices before you order. There are LOTS of resturants up and down Cannery Row. Many of them can handle crowds, so there is a last minute option.... walk into a resturant a day or two before the planned meal, expain the situation, and throw yourself on their mercy. Once you've found a place, announce it. As to places I was reminded of.... some of which might be suitable for a group gathering.... Amarin Thai Cuisine 807 Cannery Row Monterey, CA 93940 tel. +1 831.373.8811 Excellent Thai food. Very reasonable prices. However, they might not be able to accomodate a crowd. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. 720 Cannery Row Monterey, CA 93940 tel. +1 831.373.1884 Kinda noisy, moderate price, on the water, OK food, OK service, but big enough to handle a crowd. However, they are popular enough they might not want to. (Can you say "exploiting a movie?" I knew you could.) Still, they could put 50 in a corner and no one would notice the group. India's Clay Oven 150 Del Monte Ave Monterey, CA 93940 tel. +1 831.373.2529 Good prices, excellent food, atmosphere, and service. Not sure they can handle a crowd, but worth a call. Paradiso Trattoria 654 Cannery Row Monterey, CA 93940 tel. +1 831.375.4155 If you like Italian, go there. Screw the group thing, just go there. Not as cheap as some, but very nice. Excellent atmosphere, food, service. Highly recommended (as of 4 years ago). While you're there, check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium.... it's amazing! Also, walk inland (and uphill) a few blocks from the aquarium. There's a large area there with resturants, some of them large enough to hold an army, and some of them cheap and good. In truth, in a week in Monterey I don't think I had a bad meal.
