If you have some free time at Monterey state beach and find yourself craving some fresh seafood, you should definitely visit the Silver Tide Bar & Grill. Established initially as the Pacifica Cafe, it was renovated and reopened as the Silver Tide Bar & Grill in 2017.
With renowned chef Chris Elser at the helm of the kitchen, this restaurant has some of the best clam chowders you will ever taste. Along with this, they’re constantly trying out fresh and exciting new recipes such as fresh-caught cedar plank salmon with roasted cherry tomatoes and the west coast salmon cakes.
Things to do nearby
Silver Tide Bar & Grill opens pretty late, with the first orders taken around 5 pm and closes at 11 pm. It may seem annoying to wait to enjoy your food, but we’ve got you covered. If you end up having free time before the place opens, there are a few fun options nearby:
Visit the beach
Unsurprisingly one of the best ways to spend time while waiting for the place to open up is to go to the beach. You could plan a whole beach day, get a nice tan, play in the water, and then wrap it up with a delectable meal with your friends or family at the restaurant.
Go for a quick read at the library
The Seaside Branch Library is about a quarter of a mile from the restaurant. So if you have time to kill and don’t feel like getting wet or having sand in your shoes, you can visit the local library, grab whatever book catches your eye, and spend some time reading.
Offer a prayer at the St. Seraphim’s Church
Another good way to spend the afternoon is to head to St Seraphim’s Church to offer a prayer or listen to a sermon. Fortunately, the church is just a five-minute walk from the restaurant and is located inside laguna grande park, making it a very scenic visit to the house of Christ.
Feed the ducks at Robert lake
Right across the road from the restaurant is Robert Lake Park, a relatively small park maintained by the local parks and rec department. It’s an excellent spot to enjoy nature, play with your pets, or engage in bird watching. If you want to get a closer look at the birds, you can feed the duck in the lake with some bread.
Little more about the restaurant
The recent renovation at Silver Tide Bar & Grill has also changed the place’s vibe and atmosphere. With trendy brown and warm brown tones, the Silver tide is now a very organic balance of classy minimalism and a blast of vibrant color.
