We're known for our entrées from the sea but have you tasted some of our land options yet? Our lamb breast has been slow-roasted for 12 hours. It's then topped with goat cheese sauce and served on a bed of Meyer lemon tajine. Photo: @ sleavens123 (Instagram)

“This is our home and we want to keep it beautiful,” Pierszalowski says. “It’s a way to give back to our home.”

"Need to check off some last minute holiday shopping or does someone you love have a winter birthday? No worries, stop by Pacific Grove and treat them to a world-class dining experience at one of the Butterfly Town’s many fine restaurants."

RIP Gidget

Kudos to the City of Berkeley! "Berkeley recently passed a law that moves us a step closer to that, and it’s something that should be replicated across the country. The ordinance does not simply ban plastic foodware, leaving businesses to replace it with other throwaway materials: It rejects throwaway culture altogether."

Thanks Raúl Nava of the Monterey County Weekly for including us in your list of "The best thing I ever ate...over the past 12 months, that is." https://bit.ly/2Sif3sa

"Over two years, they found more than 50,000 golf balls. The source: five golf courses. Two along the coastline, and three up the Carmel River — those golf balls rolled underwater down the river to the ocean."

Some of our staff took the morning to join the Women’s March in Monterey. Exercising their constitutional rights along with our greater community makes us incredibly proud.

Chef Ted wrote a piece for the Monterey County Weekly. Check it out!

"It moves the proposed solution to ‘out there,’ where the trash is, rather than into our own lives, where the trash is being generated."

Some mid-week positivity: Check out this video from Nas Daily about people making an impact on our world and environment.

"It takes around 6.74 kg, or 1.75 gallons of water, to produce, export, & distribute one bottle of Fiji Water. It also takes 2,000 times the amount of energy to produce bottled water as tap water, & each bottle costs up to 2,000 times more than tap water." https://bit.ly/2SLdos0

Another highlight from this year- YOU voted us the "Best Restaurant in Monterey County" and "Best Restaurant – Pacific Grove" in the 2018 "Best Of" issue by the Monterey County Weekly! Thank you again! https://bit.ly/2A9QDH8

As we head into 2019, Passionfish remains committed to our environment. https://bit.ly/2ATD2Ey

This is a staff that is... a) excited that we are closed 12/25 so they can spend time with family, b) stoked to wear ugly Christmas sweaters during service, c) super pumped to serve you yummy food & wine on 12/26, or d) all of the above!

Happy Halloween from us to you! What better treat tonight than orange wine!!

Perhaps you've seen the social media campaign. 22 American Vets will commit suicide today. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness that our veterans are still fighting and they still need our support even when they've returned home. Did you know Cindy and her son Kevin are both Veterans? Well Kevin has challenged Jannae to 22 push-ups for 22 days and then each day she'll challenge someone else and it will continue forward, raising awareness. Its not very easy to do 22 push ups, and thats the point. Getting through a moment can feel this hard for many of these veterans, all day long. Remember to extend a helping hand or show your gratitude. We need to step up and help these veterans now. Nathan Menke, you're next, you've been challenged by Jannae. www.22kill.com
